They have the best gelato on the island. Their flavor selection is off the hook with Lilly Coi Cheesecake & Ube Cookies n Cream... say less

On vacation on Waikiki and walking along Lewers Street, Il Gelato was packed with customers. Many walked out with an assortment of gelato in cups, waffle cones or bowls, pastries and more. Deciding to enter, I noticed an incredible array of delicious gelato flavors to choose and all with a free taste offering. A four scoop cup was selected and they were all equally tasty. Needless to say the next two nights were repeat visits to try additional flavors. Sadly, returning to my home state ended by nightly visits. All servers were excellent, but a special shout out to 3 excellent employees at this store, David, Foster and Jarrod. If in this area or at another Il Gelato location, you will not be sorry by stopping in and trying a great product!

I have visited the Haleiwa location multiple times and it just hits the spot for unique gelato flavors! I also highly recommend any of the crepes ... and of course, the Ube Mochi waffle!!!
Staff friendly and attentive and the place is kept very clean. Definitely worth a stop if you need to pick up a pint of gelato for a family dinner too. ;)

1st visit:
This place can get busy. When I saw that there was no line, I decided to pop in and try this gelato. The staff graciously let me try many flavors. In the end I decided on chocolate and coffee with a fresh waffle chip. SO GOOD- creamy and bursting with flavor.

The gelato was very good but when I ordered from them at the Italian Festival the cashier said they only had a few flavors and one of them was hazelnut. I didn’t see hazelnut on the menu, I only saw Gianduia which means chocolate hazelnut (I know because I work at a store that also sells gelato) and he said “That’s not one of the flavors that I said” with intense attitude. So I told him “Oh I’m sorry, Gianduia means chocolate hazelnut” but he walked away without saying anything. Then, after I ordered he angrily put my cup on the counter….I’m not sure if he was from this store but he was a tall caucasian male and despite it being a pleasant hazelnut gelato this interaction honestly ruined my night :/

Very friendly service. If you like coffee, the affogato (espresso with gelato) was great, and the affogato supremo (another scoop plus whipping cream) even better. The gelato was delicious.
Parking: In strip mall.

Slightly pricey, but it was really tasty and they gave a free waffle cone chip which was a nice touch.

Staff was very friendly and quick. Flavors of gelato were pretty good but I have had better.
