Review Summary

3 Cornets offers solid gelato and sorbet with good overall quality and a varied but not overwhelming selection; prices are fair and may be slightly higher than some similar spots. The reviews point to house made gelato that is delicious with a range of flavors and the option to take portions in a container to enjoy at home, and the decor is described as warm with a cozy vibe and a pleasant nearby dining scene. While there is no standout wow factor, the place is seen as a reliable choice for non mass market ice cream, with notes that the ice cream can be a little too sweet for some and questions about when the season will open.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Épicerie Alimentari Sud is seen as a small, offbeat gem on the South Shore with a strong Italian focus, offering a solid selection of panini, sauces, cheese and pasta, plus a notable array of Italian cookies and potato chips. The sandwiches are often praised as delicious and well filled, bread is described as excellent, and cannolis are frequently highlighted as a standout, though a burrata omission in some orders and occasional stock shortages, including pizza sauce, dampen the experience for some.

Hawaiian Poke Bowl Ice Cream Vegetarian Vegan Options

Review Summary

Kamé - Snack Bar Hawaien draws praise for tasty poke bowls and a diverse cocktail menu, with freshness and creativity in the dishes repeatedly highlighted. The atmosphere is described as unique, warm, and transportive thanks to a Hawaiian vibe, and service is frequently noted as attentive from start to finish. The spot is seen as a good option for a quick lunch, whether ordering to-go or staying in the food court, with bowls generally described as filling for the price. A vegetarian poke with mushrooms is among those highlighted as particularly tasty. However, value can vary, with mentions that one bowl like the WAIMANALO portion felt small for the price and extra sauces can add to the cost. A gluten-free attempt ended badly in one case when soy sauce was added accidentally, causing illness and prompting complaints about training and reimbursement, though some staff were kind. Safety and cleanliness concerns were also noted in one visit, including a rat trap near seating. Bubble tea is described as divine by some, and a house beer is mentioned as a refreshing accompaniment.View restaurant profile
