If you’re looking for a true Italian experience here in the Tri-Valley, head to !

When you go, try a Gelato Spritz! 🍾 Made with prosecco and house-made sorbetto. Plus, they come with apertivos, which are little complimentary snacks.

🥂 Current flavors available include mango, strawberry, blueberry and lemon + mint (shown here).

FYI: Sorbetto is similar to french sorbet, but it’s smoother and not as icey.

We also got a scoop of gelato on a sugar cone with their house-made whipped cream, some espresso, and sfogilatella (a flaky Italian pastry stuffed with ricotta cheese and orange zest).

☕️ A note on their coffee: Verace actually has two different coffee bean blends that they have roasted in Napoli and shipped in to use in their store. Both are medium roast, super creamy, and available for purchase by the bag in-store.

📍 Find Verace in Downtown Livermore on K Street
