Oh we have lots of Italians round here too (it's only a 2 hour drive to the 
Italian border).  But still most of the parlours here and worse than most of 
the parlours in Italy.  Plus the German ones all seem to use those metal 
scoops to ensure everyone will get their exact sized portion +/- 1 mL.  In 
Italy most seem to just use a wooden spatula and pile it on until no more 
will fit :-)  And generally, the range of flavours on offer is considerably 
better in Italy than Germany.
