A small gelato counter on Via Fieschi, well-known in the Cinque Terre for its inventive flavours: basil, Sciacchetrà wine, honey-and-walnut, and the standard fruit sorbets made from whatever was bought at the La Spezia market that morning.
The shop is the size of a kitchen and the queue regularly stretches across the lane in summer. Worth the wait — Alberto's is consistently named among the best gelaterie in Liguria.
