I was really excited to try this bakery because of the good things I’ve heard about it but I was not super impressed. When I got there everything I wanted to try it hadn’t even been made yet. I got there in the morning so like other reviews said I could try some of the good stuff, but the lady just nonchalantly said they made stuff later in the day. We were flying out and so it was our only chance to try it and I was disappointed that so many things weren’t available. The things I did try were just average. Nothing spectacular.

This place has a small selection of gelato. Service took forever as they didn’t have people serving the gelato. Half of the gelato was melting when we came but I can say that the dark chocolate and coconut gelato was actually good. I think they could do a better job with service here but overall it was decent.

Went for St Joseph pastry (Zeppoli), worst I have had in my life. Hockey Pucks were softer. Waist of money, never again.

The lady told us 2,50$ for a cup but it ended up being 10,00US$ for each small cup. It cost us 43$ for 3 gelato and one coffee. Highly overpriced and I don’t recommend this place.

We walked by Gran Forno and were drawn in by the delicious smells of bread! We were heading back home and decided to pick up a variety of items. The individual pecan pie, chocolate torte, and cannoli were fantastic! We also got a small pound cake which we were told was lemon, but it was just a sour cream cake, still decent, but I bet their lemon one is even better! We had to also get a loaf of sourdough, of course! They offered to slice it which was nice! It is one of the best sourdough breads I have ever had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I ordered an espresso macchiato for a quick pick me up as well. I'll be honest and say I'm an espresso snob and was not a fan of it here. The guy also spilled half of my shot and didn't get me a new one which was weird, but whatever. Skip the espresso, but get the sourdough! Overall, definitely recommend this place!

The coffee was awesome but the muffins, not so much. We ordered a blueberry muffin and a banana nut muffin. Both of the muffins were the same except one had four blueberries on top of it and the other one had nuts on top. inside they were the same muffin - plain vanilla….big disappointment since they were super pricey as well.

Yummy gelato, service was excellent!

The Italian ice cream looks misleadingly delicious. Pistachio does not taste like pistachio, tiramisu is just sugary, no characteristic coffee taste... and a $10 the smallest cup is extremely over priced. Price aside, taste is far from

I had a gelato, payed 9 dollars for it. Won’t make that mistake again. I’ve cream ok but not worth that price (no ice cream is).

No prices published and should have asked before purchase but did not think for one minute that we would pay $30 for three gelatos. Tasty but shocked at the price.

What a disappointment ! Many items on the menu, but not a single price to be seen! When looking up on TripAdvisor, we noticed it but thought it might only be matter of the image itself!!! Wrong!!! We came inside to ask for free parking spots and I was told (I felt my inquiry was disturbing)that all parkings in the surroundings we’re paying parkings. We stopped on the side of the street and paid for an hour worth of time. We wanted to sit outside, so we ordered 2 lattes and a plump strawberry pastry behind the glass presenter. This is the only shot we had at the price and it was too late to turn back. It was expensive considering what we ordered. We went to sit outside and grabbed a knife and fork wrapped in paper on the counter beside the cashier. The coffee, although looking awesome with the frothy milk, was tasting bad; the worst we had so far in Florida. When opening the wrapped utensils, they were very dirty with pieces of food from the previous user. While eating, I noticed many customers parking directly on the side of the street without caring for paying parking…. I would have hoped the employees would have told me to do that when I asked, that would have made our experience a little better. That was not a good experience overall.
