Nana Petrillo's, the Capogiro gelato and coffee shop we first told you about in mid-May, just opened in The Piazza a few hours back. (It's so new that owner Joe Cleary had to turn away several walk-ins when we stopped by — he was waiting for his refrigeration system to get down to optimal freezing temperature. Should be good now.) The shop, which has a standing rail on the inside but no interior seating (there are outdoor tables), will offer between 18 and 36 seasonally rotating Capogiro gelatos at any given time, plus CafÃ© Excellence coffee, which is roasted up in Norristown. The artwork on the inside was done by Cleary's buddy TJ Reddick. Hours: Mon.-Wed., 7 a.m.-10 p.m.; Thu.-Fri., 7 a.m.-mid; Sat.-Sun., 9 a.m.-mid.

Don't forget the Little Candy Shoppe on Liberties Walk for some Bassetts Ice Cream, if you're in that mood...
