In the U.S., "gelato shops" sell Italian-style ice cream rather than American style ice cream.It's Cinque Terre, not Terra. Also, I never understood why Americans say "gelato". It's just ice cream. In Italian you say "gelato" whether it's Ben&Jerry's or ice cream from the corner shop. Gelato means "iced", nothing more, nothing less.
