Love and Gelato was not as impressive as we hoped for the book-to-screen adaptation to be. Written and directed by Brandon Camp, the film is based on the New York Times bestseller of the same name by author Jenna Evans Welch. The romantic comedy has a runtime of 112 minutes.
The film featured Susanna Skaggs as Lina Emerson, who is essential our protagonist. Alongside her, we have Owen McDonnell as Howard, Anjelika Washington as Addie, Alex Boniello as Fleetwood Zach, Valentina Lodovini as Francesca, Tobia De Angelis as Lorenzo Ferrazza along with Tera Hendrickson, Saul Nanni, Michele Favaro, Marie-France Arcilla, Cristiano Piacenti, Jacopo Relucenti, Claudia Stecher, Luca Seta and Antonio Landi.
Apart from Lina’s journey of self discovery, another major plot of the film was who will Lina end up with. On her trip to Rome, Lina encounters two potential men who can fall in love with- one of them is a cute chef called Lorenzo Ferrazza and, the other is a wealthy and charming Alessandro. Throughout the film, we find Lina almost split between the two boys and it was a thrill kept until the end for the audience to discover who Lina chooses by the end of the film.

Love and Gelato Ending Explained
Although, Love and Gelato did not meet expectations the final act was rather emotional. We saw Lina not pick either of the boys but herself over them as the continued her journey in Rome. However, towards the end, there is a hint that it is Lorenzo who has Lina’s heart as we see the two meeting after taking a gap year to stay in Italy.
In the ending we see, Lorenzo finishing up his time at the culinary academy in Paris and taking over Greta’s place on her retirement. He invites Lina for dinner featuring their very special gelato at his Nonna’s. In the end, the two are seen riding off on Lina’s bike.
