Came for a treat and boy were you surprised the lady that worked there was very knowledgeable about Italy and how they make their gelato. We ended up getting the strawberry and vanilla strawberry and mango cherry and Stacie and the pistachio with the chocolate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I would’ve given a five, but you didn’t get to taste anything you just had to hope that everything was delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating no public restroom. They do have a couple of pastries and some cakes everything is decorated really cute was really clean. Service was great. Pricing was OK along with the portion size. There’s plenty of parking and plenty of things to do in the shopping center 10 out of 10 recommend

This place is golden. I wish id known about it sooner. The owner is lovely and people need to try this place instead of always choosing after ice cream right next door. This place is 10 times better!!! Support local and Small buisness

Hands down the best gelatto in California. Simona is the best and her food quality is quite amazing.

Rude customer service. Gelato is decent.

The staff was rude and unwelcoming. The gelato didn’t taste authentic and was very disappointing.👎👎

This is the best tasting gelato outside of Italy. Especially cherry and chocolate.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism. The staff and owner is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Simona even stayed with us to have a chat.

We tried their vegan chocolate and milk chocolate gelato — both were absolutely amazing! Rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. My wife had the hazelnut and chocolate chip, and she loved every bite. It’s rare to find a place that nails both dairy and non-dairy options, but they’ve done it here.

The service exceeded our expectations — not just because of the quality, but because of the care and detail put into every step. You don’t always find businesses that operate with both heart and excellence, but this one absolutely does.

Thank you for an amazing experience — we’ll definitely be back and will be recommending you to everyone we know!

I just came back from Italy 2 weeks ago, I surprisingly found out there is a gelato store.
Well , The lady is super friendly.
The store is very clean.
However, to be frankly the gelato is actually not gelato.
Gelato should be very soft, softer than cotton candy, it doesn't have the crunchy nor icy texture, just purely soft and smooth.
You don't bite it , just sip in.

It is not bad as a ice cream store , but sorry not gelato.

We were in the mood for something sweet and cold, lady worker was nice to let us in a few minutes before they open at 12. It’s a small shop with a few tables and chairs, their different flavors of gelato behind a glass case. The price was a little steep for me so I just had my son get his choice of caramel and hazelnut in a medium cup and I opted for the slice of tiramisu cake. This is definitely the place when you feel like splurging. It was kind of stuffy inside so we opted to enjoy outside seating nearby. The caramel gelato was nice, the hazelnut gelato flavor was underwhelming, and the tiramisu cake was ok. Parking was busy on a Sunday.
