“This place is absolutely great. We arrived just 10 mins before closing, but the staff was helping us choose and place an order for eggfree and sugarless ice creams. (We were ordering for a baby, and we are vegetarians). The staff mentioned that their ice cream has no added sugar. Also, the egg free list had many options, too. We ordered the flavors :
1. Tender coconut,
2. peanut butter and jelly,
3. chocolate almond,
4. raspberry and chip

All the ice creams were absolutely delicious. Finally, I found some sugar-free ice cream that my baby could indulge in along with us.“

Wish I could have tried them all.“

“I've visited multiple Rita's in the area- this location is the one in which the mobile application has been the most reliable. What's more is that the staff are very efficient at troubleshooting. They did not have a working scanner, for instance, and getting my loyalty info/redeeming a coupon was still no issue. Friendly & courteous staff as well.“

Although I have yet to be welcomed or greeted when I've come in this store, I can tell they are always busy. I wish the employees at this store would make more of an effort to be friendly, smile, and just be pleasant. If I felt as welcomed as the cookies taste, this could be a 10 star review.“

“Food was delicious! Love the outdoor seating!“

“Our group had a wonderful late evening meal at Caffé Gelato, and it continues to impress with every visit. Parking is conveniently located right outside the door—a rare and much-appreciated feature in Newark, DE. The food is authentically Italian, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. What truly stands out—aside from the attentive (yet never intrusive) service—is the care that owner took into designing the dining space. Even though tables are only a few feet apart, there's an unexpected sense of intimacy and privacy that allows for meaningful conversation without concern of being overheard. It's a perfect setting for enjoying a relaxed meal with friends or loved ones. Dining here always feels like a family meal, elevated by expert preparation—and best of all, someone else handles the cleanup! One of our traditions is taking desserts to go and enjoying them at home with a cup of coffee. Since their desserts come with gelato, the waiter thoughtfully brought the gelato to the table so we could savor it fresh, while packing the rest to enjoy later. It's this kind of personalized, considerate touch that makes Caffé Gelato a truly special place and a favorite destination we'll continue to return to—and recommend to others.“
