Fabulous gelato----and so many favors to choose from. Luckily the server was more than willing to provide ample samples and suggestions for my husband whose taste had been affected by cancer treatment. Even though it was frezzing outside this was a a great stop! more

I'm a frequent visitor, as I work a few blocks away. Capagiro's gelato is better than most I've had in Italy. And, for us chocolate lovers, there are usually 4 or 5 or 6 different variations to try.

Quite simply some of the best gelato outside Italy, and better then most gelaterias in Italy I'm sure. All the flavors are generally well made (although the nut-base gelatos are fairly similar in taste). Really it is the fruit flavors that stand out...in general, they taste like you are eating the fruit, not just the juice. So, for example, their... more
