Ricco Gelato

You can DIY your Affogato: a jasmine matcha affogato is super! 🍀

Amazing Gelato and service! They have a wide variety of flavors and the staff is really helpful. Highly recommend!

The ice cream is great, and we’re glad we found this place. However, waiting for an affogato for 30 minutes seems unreasonable. After school pickup, it would be great if there were two people behind the register, as many kids will be coming to get ice cream.

Had their vanilla affogato and ferrero rocher gelato and it was delicious. Customer service is also great!

The Gelato tastes amazing , not too sweet and very creamy. The staff and owner were very helpful and friendly. So happy to have Gelato near by.

SO GOOD

The most authentic genuine gelato place in Orange County, without having to leave the continent!

This place is amazing!! I can’t believe we have gelato this good in Ladera! Hallelujah!!

The Gelato was so good. Jay, the young man working was so nice and professional! He knew the store and the selections well. A 5 star experience. Also, the store was so clean and tidy!

Best gelato in Orange County!!! Try the Affogato, it’s amazing 🥹

The gelato felt like it was melting in my mouth as I deliciously took each bite, definitely an amazing experience would always come again

Hands down best gelato in Orange County they use clover Sonoma organic milk cane sugar and no seed oils.. SO MANY DELICIOUS FLAVORS. Coming back to try the affogato in the morning!

Ice cream run with the family. Amazing gelato. Great atmosphere. Super nice and friendly staff.

Highly recommend that you try their affogato! An affogato is one of my favorite treats and this one is phenomenal. Service was so friendly and top-tier. Will be back!

The best gelato place I’ve visited in recent times and I don’t say that lightly! I’ve already been here multiple times, and every visit feels like a new flavor adventure. It’s the kind of place where you walk in planning to try “just one” and walk out wanting half the menu 😄

Let’s talk about flavors, because they are next level.
The Pistachio Affogato is absolutely top-notch - rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced with espresso. The Coconut gelato has officially earned the title of my daughter’s favorite — creamy, refreshing, and tastes like a tropical vacation in a cup.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you must try the Avocado and Black Sesame. They are incredibly flavorful, smooth, and have such a unique, luxurious texture. For the chocolate lovers, their three-chocolate gelato and hazelnut gelato are family favorites and deeply rich, not overly sweet, and dangerously addictive. Honestly, I could go on forever… the list just never stops!

One detail I absolutely love: the ingredient list displayed on the wall. It’s so thoughtful and transparent, and makes it easy to check what goes into each flavor.

This place is truly a great addition to Ladera Ranch. The staff are young, friendly, and genuinely helpful — always ready to explain flavors and offer samples with a smile.

If you’re a gelato lover (or just a dessert lover in general), this spot is a must-visit. Warning: once you try it, you’ll keep coming back 🍨✨
