For a popular student hangout, Sonny’s Gelato Cafe in Boca has a variety of patrons. FAU President Frank T. Brogan is a frequent visitor, and owner Sonny Lombardo claims to see his fair share of the famous.
“Sylvester Stallone came through the drive-through a couple days ago,” Lombardo says.
Sonny’s makes over 40 different flavors of gelato, which is an Italian variation of ice cream. The tasty treat also boasts that it’s healthier for you than regular ice cream because they don’t use preservatives, cream, artificial flavors or food coloring.
There are all those traditional flavors that you would expect them to have, like mint chocolate, but they also make specialty batches with flavors like whiskey, Parmesan cheese and olive oil.
This family-run business of eight years also serves a menu of genuine Italian foods, including panini sandwiches and subs. The desserts are homemade by Mama Lombardo, Sonny’s mother, and the cakes are imported straight from Italy.
