A white and red storefront in Parkside with golden Chinese characters above the door is the unlikely home of a wide selection of colorful gelato flavors.

The only place I'm aware of in the Bay Area serving durian gelato. Durian is considered the King of Fruits in Southeast Asia. The scent can be overpowering to the uninitiated. But the taste is heavenly.

It's a great place to get Gelato in the Sunset district of San Francisco. In fact, it's one of the few great Gelato shops I know of in San Francisco. Although they don't have that great of a variety, they flavors they do have are delicious. PROS: Excellent gelato CONS: Not that big of a variety

This is my favorite place for a treat. The gelato is great; my favorite, hands down is the lychee flavor. It's tastes just like lychee, but with a creamier consistency. Whenever my sister returns home to visit, she makes Marco Polo one of the places on her list that she MUST go to in order to get her dessert fix. The flavors are highly addictive, and they use real ingredients in their gelato, not powders. The soursop is a flavor I have been unable to find anywhere else; the cantaloupe is to die for; the durian (if you like durian, it IS an acquired taste) is yummy, my parents love it; the green tea is one of the best in the city; the black sesame was my favorite when I had my wisdom teeth pulled and ate nothing but ice cream and mushy noodles...okay, I'll end my rave here. Seriously, try this place, you won't regret it. There are other flavors I've left out that are more than worth trying, and I highly believe this place is underrated.
