There’s even a “Bownana” flavour for dogs.
Given the scorching weather this week, we’re on the lookout for some foodie options to temporarily relieve the heat- and we’ve found some seriously cool options.
Roberto Authentic Italian Gelato is a true hidden gem, described by TripAdvisor users as “the best gelato”- and that includes tourists of Rome, Bologna, Pisa, Florence and Paris.

Best of all, there’s no need to travel to the motherland, or even the Yorkshire coast, to get a cone to battle the heatwave, this sweet treat spot is located right in the heart of the city centre.
Freshly churned and an abundance of flavours, there you can grab gelato by the scoop, fresh cannoli, coffees and other sweet treats from the Kirkgate Market stall, in Driffield, York or at a local pop up.
Recently spotted at Chow Down combining the highest quality ingredients from Italy and Yorkshire, you’re unlikely to find flavours like Roberto’s anywhere else.
In addition to your usual, but nonetheless exciting, pistachio cream, salted caramel and hazelnut, you’ll find unique combos like passionfruit cheesecake and Guinness stout sorbet.
If that’s not enough, there’s even a “Bownana” made specially for your four-legged friend to cool off during the summer heatwave.
The latest addition to the menu is enough to get you into the markets on its own. The Robertone is a sweet pastry roll with a crunchy yet soft exterior that you can fill with a gelato, fruit and syrup of your choosing.
