What's the difference between Gelato and Ice Cream?

Take it from me, a true Italian, we dont confuse our Gelato with Ice cream! gelato is richer and less fattening. You are supposed to have it in smaler portions b/c of the richness. Ice Cream is more fattening and less rich. Gelato is way better though. Now that you know dont get em mixed up again, or we'll get the mob on you!
