When would you want to eat gelato?

I love gelato. Which is why I was very happy to see two gelaterias within 100 meters of my apartment. What I didn't know is that these are Italian gelaterias, and that means that they are only open at times when everyone else is working, i.e. mornings and afternoons and maybe - just maybe - Saturday mornings. At times when I would think of getting a gelato, say after dinner or on a weekend afternoon, these places are closed. I can therefore only get my gelato fix on the weekends, when I'm downtown, where store hours are more tourist-friendly.
