“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.“

“Probably one of the oldest ice cream in the city and the best. If you not a Chicagoan it's a must come to institution of Chicago. If you are a Chicagoan, what are doing dawg, get ur self a sweet treat. I don't care if it's negative -4 degree outside we hitting up Margie's.“

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

“Thank you for amazing tasty ice cream!“

“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.“

“We came to the mall specifically for gelato while in town for a show at The Rosemont Theater. The gelato flower is *almost* too beautiful to eat, but it didn’t stop us. LOVE that they have organic flavors and no artificial colors!! The employees are friendly and talented. Getting to sample flavors was such a treat and watching them make the flower is mesmerizing. My daughter enjoyed strawberry and chocolate in a cone and I opted for strawberry and organic lemon in a cone, while my husband chose a dish of organic chocolate. We all felt it was the perfect size treat and such great flavors. We wish we didn’t live so far away so we could enjoy this more often!“

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

“Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is easily one of my favorite ice cream spots ever. One of the best parts is being able to sample different flavors before deciding, which makes the experience even more fun.

The service is always amazing, and the staff do a great job keeping things moving even when the line gets long. Despite how popular it gets, the wait usually goes by pretty quickly.

The ice cream itself is excellent, sweet without being overpowering, and they always have a great selection of unique flavors to choose from. Overall, it is a spot I would highly recommend to anyone looking for really good ice cream in the city.“

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

“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!“

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

“Best ice cream ever! Staff is amazing!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We walked by this place a few times and the line was always out the door.

Well, we came back in the evening and there was no line! They have innovative flavors, like brown butter almond brittle. They provide samples, so no need to guess.

This place is definitely worth a visit.“

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

“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 😋“

“Lovely place. Good staff. Yummy food“

“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).“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed“

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

“Crepes were delicious 👍“

“Excellent service and the owners provides groceries for Evanston's seniors and shut in.“

“Sooo good I will be back tomorrow.“

“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.“
