Gelato is Italy's take on ice cream, just like crime-fighting turtles are America's take on great art. Enjoy an edible masterpiece with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of gelato, coffee, paninis, pizza, and more at San Gelato Café in South Jordan.

San Gelato Café, an artisanal gelateria, doles out more than 50 flavors of all-natural, low-fat gelato and no-fat sorbet in addition to Italian savories and aromatic espressos. Stomachs will launch into arias as their owners gaze into a glass display case of velvety delicacies, handcrafted daily in flavors such as apple pie, white chocolate, pistachio, and tiramisu ($2.25 for one scoop). The sorbet blends fresh fruit and filtered water for a treat more sweet and refreshing than a kiss from an igloo. Those hankering for more robust fare can nosh on a freshly made 10-inch pizzette, focaccia-bread sandwich, or Italian-style panini.

Sip an espresso brewed from imported Italian beans while lounging on soft leather sofas perched around a 20-foot floor-to-ceiling fireplace. San Gelato's warm ambiance, richly colored walls, and dark wood furniture make for a relaxing checkpoint during a Vespa race versus Sophia Loren.
