<p>It&#8217;s almost a mini-Roman Empire evolving for Lewis, Rome-born owner of Alfonoso&#8217;s. Newly opened in Cheltenham, he named the parlours after his ice-cream making Italian grandpa. The gelato here is next level, and each parlour has a nice cool place to sit with a clean modern vibe and enjoy your cone. We love their Vegan chocolate flavour too.</p>
