Italian ice cream, 'gelato', is famous all over the world for being one of the best. Gelateria Rivareno, in Via Venezia, offers a wide selection of creamy flavours made with fresh milk from the Alpine Valley. Come here for a cone or cup, but be prepared: you might have to come back — this place is said to be one of the best ice cream bars in town.

Cremeria Bresciana is a lovely café in its own right, but what really makes it stand out are the delicious 'maritozzi', brioche buns filled with rich and fluffy whipped cream. The maritozzi here are probably the best in town, packed to the brim with their delicious homemade cream. Paired with a cappuccino, there's hardly a better place for a coffee break in Pescara.

Pasticceria Bar Turchi in Pescara is elegant and stylish. The displays might make you think you're in a museum rather than a café, and the seating area looks more like an exclusive club, but don't let the lavish looks scare you away from this beautiful tea and coffee house.
