About Fantasticks RIO

Fantasticks RIO is a popular gelato and dessert spot that offers a wide variety of flavors and toppings, including chocolate lover, caramel brownie batter, and white chocolate with rice crispy cereal. The service is praised as helpful and attentive, even when the restaurant is crowded, and the staff is known for being organized, especially with big groups. The gelato has a rich, indulgent taste, and customers recommend flavor mixing, like adding pistachio to the chocolover. The owner is friendly and sometimes offers free toppings. While the Oreo regular fantastik was disappointing, the overall gelato experience is considered solid. The store is very close to the AMC dine-in theater, and you can take the gelato to the boardwalk for a nice time by the water. There are only a few small tables, so seating is limited, but the place is kid-friendly, wheelchair accessible, and has ample parking. A lavatory is available for customers, and the door is typically left open. The price is around $8 for a regular portion, and the ice cream bars come with toppings, though the cup portion is highly recommended.
