The temperatures are finally heating up, which means those summertime snacks need to cool down: just in time, new-school Italian gelato shop Biddrina Gelato, launched this week outside of its sister restaurant, Clinton Hill's Locanda Vini & Olii. 

Named after the Sicilian legend of the "Biddrina," a mythical serpent said to live in the wetlands of the Italian countryside, the red-and-white creamery cart comes courtesy of Locanda Vini e Oli co-owner and executive chef Michele Baldacci—who learned the frozen-treat trade under famed Florentine gelato maker Silvana Vivoli of Vivoli il Gelato—and the restaurant's longtime server Alessio DiGino.
