Pozzetto has some of the best pistachio gelato I’ve tried in Paris, it’s made from Sicilian pistachios and absolutely no artificial flavoring. The gelatos and sorbets are made daily for freshness, with the best fresh milk and/or seasonal fruit. There are only 12 flavors at a time, so that each one can be given all the attention it deserves. At Pozzetto they won’t ask you how many scoops you’d like and then charge you by the scoop. Here they do it Italian style: they fill up your cone or cup with a spatula and you can ask for as many flavors as you want!
Pozzetto’s espresso drinks are delicious too. A pleasant surprise in Paris where most espressos will make the inside of your mouth cringe and make you walk around with a contorted facial expression afterward.
What I also like very much about this place is that, you know when you get that craving late in the evening and everything else is closed, well Pozzetto’s there for you!

Nougat, chocolate nougat, huge slabs of it cut in whatever amounts and sold by the weight, praliné butters—little glass jars of hazelnut butter or mixed nut butter, marrons glacés (chestnuts candied in sugar syrup and glazed), chocolate, candied almonds, guimauve (marshmallow), salty caramels and macarons, all of it can be found in this minuscule store. La Boutique du Labo also sells ice-cream in the warmer seasons, and offers an array of different sides such as coulis (fresh fruit syrup), nuts or hot chocolate sauce to add to the scoops of ice-cream. The shop also has an Italian ice-cream maker, the kind that makes swirly ice-cream cones, but unlike all of those found in touristy areas, this one only serves homemade ice-cream made with all natural ingredients.
