Ciao Bella says bon giorno to Boston with free ice cream all weekend
If you're wandering Harvard Square tonight or this weekend, look for a pink truck doling out free ice cream. Ciao Bella, a new gelato brand that Oprah has dubbed as one of her "favorite things," is taking a get-to-know-you tour across the country, giving out 100,000 free scoops along the way. They'll be stopping in Boston this weekend, where the "Ciao Bella Swirl", their signature neon-colored vehicle, will be serving flavors like blood orange sorbet, coconut sorbet, blackberry cabernet sorbet, pistachio gelato, maple ginger snap gelato and vanilla gelato.
The free desserts will be a-flowin' today, September 19 from 5 to 8pm; Saturday, September 20 from 12 to 5pm; and Sunday, September 21 from 3 to 7pm. Ciao Bella will also be visiting their Italian frozen goodness upon the Boys & Girls Club of Boston and the Christopher Haven Golf Tournament (co-sponsored by Kevin Youkilis’ charity, Hits for Kids). Molto bello!
