“My sister lived in Italy for a while, and we took her to Black Dog Gelato. After tasting three of the creative gelatos, she said that Black Dog has gelato as good as the best in Italy.

I haven't been to Italy very much, but there is little doubt that Black Dog may have the best gelato in Chicago. I can't say for sure because I haven't been to all the gelato stores in the Windy City, but they'd have to be five stars to compete.

When I first visited Black Dog, I tasted the pistachio gelato with pistachio bits on top and in the gelato itself. I like to test a gelatoria by tasting the pistacho, and Black Dog had me right off the bat. Since then, I've never been disappointed by their rotating roster of flavors.

The store even has a dairy-free Wednesday, and the gelato that day often tastes as good as the regular gelato.

The staff of primarily young women are welcoming and patient as you decide. They have characters that you don't find in customer service anymore: they seem to really like helping people! And they fulfill any tasting request.

Black Dog is located on a corner on Damen Avenue in Ukranian Village. It's an unassuming store that has a neighborhood feel about it.

The gelato shop appears not to have caught the eyes of the gentrification crowd. That's to the benefit of those who love it because we don't have to wait in long lines. That's their loss.

Black Dog may be a bit of a trip from the Northside, but it's tough to beat.“

“Best gelato in town! Original Italian recipes and only high quality ingredients. Family owned, and they’re lovely.“

“Sweet Oasis is Awesome . Great selection of ice cream . We absolutely ❤️ LOVE this place.! Generous amount of ice cream & fair prices. U guys ROCK ! I think you guys should have T-shirts made for sale. The retro T-shirts that your employees wear are super cool 😎. And I know you’d sell them like hotcakes.. ( trust me ) great way to make extra money for all your hard work. Keep doing a fantastic job.. A+“

“Great neighborhood place for an easy family outing.“

“First time there today, but I'll be back again soon. The coffee milkshake was so good, as was their cheezy bread! Can't wait to try more!“

“The Concrete: Peach Cobbler was amazing!!!“

“The ice cream here was absolutely delicious! I tried four flavors—vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, and strawberry—and loved them all. A huge thank you to Diana, who prepared my order. She is a true artist! The presentation looked incredible, and I just had to take pictures Highly recommend!

“Margie's Candies has been scooping ice cream in Bucktown since the early 1900s, and walking in feels like stepping into a soda fountain that time genuinely forgot, red vinyl booths, vintage candy cases, and a counter where staff still mix everything by hand the old-fashioned way. The Beatles supposedly stopped here once, and the photos on the wall lean into that history without making the whole place feel like a museum instead of a working ice cream parlor.
We got the Atomic Sundae, which comes out in a shell-shaped dish big enough for two people to share comfortably, several scoops piled high with hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top. It's the kind of dessert that's a little ridiculous in size and exactly what you want from a place like this. We also tried a malted milkshake, thick enough that the straw practically stood up on its own, classic and not overly sweet. Someone in our group got a banana split, and the bananas were fresh and properly ripe, not the slightly sad version you sometimes get elsewhere. The hot fudge itself deserves a mention, dark and rich rather than sugary, clearly made in-house rather than poured from a jar.
It's a cash-friendly, old-school kind of spot, lines can build on a warm weekend, but it moves steadily and the nostalgia of the whole experience makes the wait part of the fun.“

“So delicious!!!! I drive so far to come to this place!“

“Amazing vegan sandwiches, ice cream and service! 10/10“

“Thank you for amazing tasty ice cream!“

“As cute as a button! What a special treat for all ages. They take such care in their creations. And the ice cream was good too.“

“If you got a sweet tooth i recommend hitting up Sugar Rae's...Every dessert is uniquely prepared and crafted from scratch...“

“Excellent service! Nato let me sample every flavor before serving me a berry, strawberry, and banana cream trifecta 🔥 definitely coming back!“

“After a busy day, we wanted something to cool off, so we stopped by here since it was the only option available at this location.

We each got two scoops in different flavors, and between us we were able to try different flavors. The variety was nice, and some flavors stood out more than others. You can choose between single, double, or triple scoops, and pick either a cone or a cup. They also have mini donuts in a variety of flavors!

The flavors were creamy, fresh, and well-balanced, with something for everyone from classic chocolate and vanilla to fruity options like strawberry, orange sherbet, and Superman.

The ice cream was good, though not all flavors were equally memorable. Portions were generous, though not all flavors were equally memorable. It’s a fun spot for sharing and sampling, especially if you like having options.“

“Great neighborhood spot for delicious freshly made Italian Ice! Lots of interesting flavors and yummy ice cream too!“

“Crepes were delicious 👍“

“Anyone that gave Amorino or is thinking about giving Amorino less than 5 stars, has no idea what quality gelato is. The flavors and quality are superb! Better than any other place that exists. Especially the places that over charge for ice cream that tastes like chemicals. The staff are extremely welcoming, kind and helpful! The place is warm and inviting. I drive from the northwest suburbs just for Amorino! Please open another location near woodfield mall! Or better yet, near Oakbrook!“

“The guy running this place is just great. He was super accommodating. Even went so far as to tell me that the freeze flavor I selected wasn't the best. Said he would let me try it, but if I didn't like it he'd make me something else (Thai Tea Freeze... Funky... Just like he said). He was true to his word and made me a lavender freeze for no extra cost that was totally delicious. I'll definitely come back. 100 stars for quality of customer service.“

“Best ice cream ever! Staff is amazing!“

“Such a delicious treat in any kind of weather.“

“Got the summer special and was not disappointed- I wish I remembered the exact flavors but it was so creamy and perfect on a summer like evening. Staff was nice, wait time was short. Honestly can’t wait to go back and try more flavors- they looked so good!“

“amazing service and yummy choices yum yum i love the workers! i also talked to the owner and he was incredible, friendly, and thoughtful. ❤️“

“Amazing place best customer service and everything is delicious 😋“

“Solid little ice cream place!

Have some fudges and what not too. But seems to be more about the ice cream.

Flavors were solid, got a chocolate and coffee and it was good but nothing that blew me away.

Wafers are a fun texture addition!“

“The prices can be a bit too much in this economy for sweets but also with the way the world is set, theres only a few things that bring joy to a person and why not a delicious treat for yourself. The Dubai sandwich cookie is definitely keeping me way too active this week🤤🫶🏼“

“The ice cream was so delicious and it smells good in the shop“

“Tasty, tasty, tasty! Husband and I both loved our choices!“

“We walked past this spot on our way to the book store. My son spotted it right away and insisted we stop. I got a chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing. I was surprised by how soft and tasty the cookie was.

Overall, a great spot to get a tasty cookie treat.“

“Great soft serve ice creams“

“Good but not great gelato. All the staff were awesome. The creaminess was good but I found the flavors a little underwhelming.
You could be waiting awhile if groups ahead of you sample multiple flavors (our experience on a crowded weekday night).“

“The ice cream was really good, especially the birthday cake. Waffle cone was delicious as well!! We got lucky and arrived during a short lull because when we were leaving, the line was so long but seemed to be moving relatively quickly. They allow samples as well if you want to try a flavor before making your selection.“

“Amazing flavors, great staff. Very nice atmosphere. Good location. I love having this Argentinian delight in Chicago.“

“Ohhh sweet summer flavors and memories are found at Xurro! They have a great menu of many ways to get your sugar fix from sundaes to smoothies and seasonal flavors too. You can even get a variety of flavors in your ice cream base, vanilla or strawberry or Superman! It being my first time I decided on a classic sundae with churros and I was pleasantly surprised. The churros are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and have the perfect dusting of sugar. It was gone before I made it home! A little on the higher side for price but it’s fair for all that you get.“

“Great Food. Great Service. The owner was so nice and gave someone a free meal just cause they needed it. Everyone was very generous! We came to visit from AR!“

“I love these ice cream they are unique and very creamy“

“I want to go again! I’m 5 hours away so I better start driving now.“
