Ice cream to melt your heart

How fitting that my first post on La Petite Niçoise is one about food; I had to start by telling you about a gorgeous ice cream parlour in the old town of Nice, Fenocchio's. 

It is famous beyond the city and is featured in most guidebooks about the city - there's a reason for that, it's absolutely wonderful. 

It has dozens of flavours of ice creams, sorbets and granitas. I chose a deux boules cornet with vanilla and rose petal: utterly, delicately delicious. It also serves crepes, milkshakes, little pots of ice cream and every kind of topping you can imagine. 

You sit at plastic tables in stepped-well of Place Rossetti and jostle with the other locals and holiday makers enjoying the cool of the square and the ice cream. It's a perfect afternoon (or any time) treat.
