Morelli's Serves Up Super Gelato
By Susn Soper
 Donald and Clarissa Sargent – world citizens who have lived in New York City, Brazil, Miami and Tampa – have opened Morelli’s in the former Bruster’s location in Ormewood.
Donald’s ice cream career was launched in a shop while he was in high school in Tampa. He majored in restaurant management at Florida International University, did a stint in pharmaceutical sales and studied under Malcolm Stogo, the guru of ice crea, at Ice Cream University.
Donald says what sets Morelli’s ice creams – he calls them American gelatos – apart is fresh cream from the local Greenwood Dairy and everything "real" – strawberries, organic mint leaves, coconut and even sweet corn. They also make French crepes with ice cream on top; the flavors range from Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate, Coconut Jalapena, Dulce de Lechee, Margarita Sorbet (the office favorite by far) and Almond Coconut Joy.
Morelli's is located at 749 Moreland Ave. SE, Suite B-102. For more information call (404) 622-0210 or www.morellisicecream.com.
