There’s a hole in the wall Italian gelato place called Marco Polo made by Cantonese people in Outer Richmond district of San Francisco. First thought, how good could this possibly be? The texture of the gelato is the closest thing I’ve had to gelato in Italy. Even the gelato in North Beach doesn’t even come close.
The real kicker is Marco Polo has a lot of Asian flavors: mango, lychee, taro, sesame (worth trying once!!), honeydew, cantaloupe and even durian. Marco Polo also have normal vanila, chocolate, strawberry, cappucino, my favorite arcobaleno (mix of flavors), and a few others. With a small cup you can get 1-2 flavors, medium you can do 1-3, and large 1-4. I’ve come back to this gelataria many times and they are consistent. If you are looking for gelato, or even ice cream in San Francisco, try Marco Polo.

love this place as well! one of the best hole-in-the-wall finds around, and so good every single time, even in the cold SF weather.
Love your pictures! Great review.
