this is definitely the best gelato I've ever had in the States. It costs more than a Dunkin Donut or Bassett's ice cream, but it's worth it! The dulce de leche with any sorbetto is my favorite combo. The nut flavors are excellent, too. And the service was friendly. more

We were anxious to try such a well reviewed spot. The flavors looked great, and the staff happily offered us small samples to help us decide. Two of us had pistachio and hazelnut. One had cinnamon and pistachio, and the other cinnamon and lemon. We all agreed cinnamon was the best, and lemon was the least popular. Many people said... more

There are a 100 places to get gelato in Philly.....the gelato here WAS NOT special by any means. Yes, it was good, but substantially better than other gelato places.....I think not. Customer Service was a bit hoity-toity and seemed put out when we asked to sample a few flavors. I'd pass on this establishment. more

This chain does serve very good gelato. The price they charge is pretty high and the service is subpar considering what you pay. The first time I stopped by this establishment was right after I returned from Italy. I do not think their fare was as tasty as what I had in Italy but it was pretty close. Unfortunately, the... more

This is a casual ice cream place and cafe. Philadelphia is a great restaurant city. It would be a great disservice to visitors to the city to think that this is the best restaurant. The owners are great at PR and I am sure that they had the students from Penn who are doing unpaid projects for them and others... more
