Lush Gelato Mango Sorbet and Ricotta Lemon Zest Gelato: Located in the back of The Epicurious Garden in Berkeley, this Lush Gelato location has a rainbow assortment of sorbets and gelatos made with ingredients proudly sourced from local farms. (This all sounds very befitting for a spot in the Gourmet Ghetto, I know.) I sampled the Vietnamese cinnamon (which tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch) before deciding on their mango sorbet and ricotta lemon zest. For all three flavors, I found them to be overly sweet for my taste, and while the texture was pretty smooth, it didn't have the consistency of really great ice cream. I preferred the mango sorbet to the ricotta lemon zest, which was more creamy than acidic, but to be honest, it was pretty similar to Ciao Bella. Nonetheless, portions are generous. 2.5/5.0
