意思
Ordering a dessert.
文化背景
In Sicily, 'prendo un gelato' might actually mean getting a 'brioche con gelato'—a sweet bun stuffed with ice cream, often eaten for breakfast. Florence is the historical home of gelato. When you say 'prendo un gelato' here, you are walking in the footsteps of the Medici. In Rome, the 'panna montata' (whipped cream) is often free or a very small charge. The server will almost always ask if you want it. Gelato is often enjoyed late at night in Naples, as part of the vibrant street life that lasts until the early hours.
Pay First!
In many Italian gelaterias, you must pay at the 'cassa' first and then take your receipt to the counter to choose your flavors.
The Panna Question
When you order, the server will often ask 'Con panna?'. This means 'With whipped cream?'. It's usually a great addition!

Gusti vs. Palline
In Italy, you don't usually order by 'scoops' (palline), but by 'flavors' (gusti). A small gelato usually allows for two flavors.

常见问题
8 个问题Yes, but it sounds a bit childish or demanding. 'Prendo' or 'Vorrei' are much more natural for adults.
'Cono' is a wafer cone, 'coppetta' is a small paper cup. You'll be asked this every time you say 'prendo un gelato'.
Not at all. In a gelateria, it's the standard way to order. In a fancy restaurant, 'vorrei' is better.
Usually, even a 'piccolo' (small) allows for two flavors. A 'grande' can have three or four.
Say 'un gelato' when ordering. Say 'il gelato' when talking about ice cream in general (e.g., 'Mi piace il gelato').
You can say 'Posso assaggiare questo?'. However, in very busy Italian shops, this isn't always common practice.
Crema, Cioccolato, Nocciola (hazelnut), Pistacchio, and Stracciatella (chocolate chip).
Technically no. Gelato has less fat, less air, and is served warmer, making it denser and more flavorful.
