Pozzetto
Located in the Marais this shop makes authentic gelato. Their gelatos are creamy and delicious and made with fresh ingredients that come from Italy. The lines here can get a bit long due to its popularity, however, they tend to move fast. Make sure to sample some of their flavors before buying yours. This will help you decide which flavor to have but it will also give you an idea of how intense and true to its ingredients the gelatos are. We highly recommend the pistachio gelato!
