Ayang's Italian ice cream offers a variety of flavors. The pistachio is rich and not overly sweet, while the peach flavor has the texture of fresh fruit skin but is somewhat heavy. Overall, it has a high cost-performance ratio, making it suitable for customers who enjoy rich flavors.
The interior environment is simple, and the atmosphere is suitable for those who enjoy Italian ice cream. Although the owner is serious, he understands Chinese and interacts little with customers.
The service is relatively simple; customers need to choose their own flavors. Since tasting is not allowed, there may be some difficulties in making a selection.
Delicious Italian ice cream!
I ordered the pistachio, which is the most recommended flavor. It has a strong pistachio taste with a hint of almond, and I really like it; it's not too rich. The oolong tea flavor is also great, and you can really taste the aftertaste of the tea as it melts in your mouth.
Each flavor truly lives up to its name🤣. My friend's fruit series really tastes like fruit, especially the cantaloupe, which feels just like eating cantaloupe flesh, but in an ice cream texture.
There are seats available for dining in, and two flavors for 120 (currency) isn't too expensive. I recommend it!
📍Datong District, Taipei City (near Beimen MRT Station)
Located in a small alley|Italian gelato shop run by foreigners 🍨🍫
Continuing from yesterday’s Puro Gelato, today we have another small comparison of gelato 😜
Today's Ah Yang is a beloved shop that many of my friends often mention. It used to be called Genoa, but I found out it has been renamed Ah Yang this time.
The owner is a foreigner who understands Chinese. Each time I visit, he has a serious expression 🤪 and doesn’t interact with customers like a Turkish owner would.
All the flavors I've tried have a certain standard! There are no misses (except for the avocado 🥑 flavor that I'm always curious about but too scared to order).
For me, the downside of this shop is that you can’t sample the flavors, so I face a choice barrier every time I go 😝

Order details:
🧊 One cup ($120/two flavors):
Peach 🍑 + Pistachio 🌰
Pistachio is probably this shop's signature flavor; it has a rich nutty and creamy taste as soon as you take a bite. By the end, it might feel a bit sweet and somewhat heavy.
You can tell the peach is made from real fresh fruit, and it even has some peach skin mixed in. However, I feel it’s not really a refreshing fruit flavor; the creaminess and texture of the fruit are quite rich (I feel a bit thirsty after finishing).
✏️
Notes:
Ah Yang has a relatively high value for money; the portion size is quite large, and even though the price increased from 100 to 120 NT, it’s still reasonable.
It’s great for those who enjoy rich Italian gelato!
However, the service and dine-in environment are relatively simple.
For those who prefer refreshing fruit sorbet, I’d recommend the earlier Puro, as it maintains the same texture from the first bite to the last, though it is slightly more expensive.
