Such a cute, aesthetic place tucked away in what I call the ‘dessert corner’ of RIO! Lots of dairy-free options in addition to regular gelato, and a good selection of toppings to choose from as well.

I like the customizable Gelato options. I dipped a tiramasu Gelato pop into white chocolate with oreo crumble and it was really good. Only thing is the floor was dirty and sticky...hence the 4 stars instead of the 5 but they give you customizable options and they also have sugar free options.

Absolutely loved it. So cute and fun and definitely tasty

I was excited to try Fantasticks at Rio Lakefront because the display of ice creams looked truly eye-catching and fun. Unfortunately, the flavor I chose wasn’t as impressive as the presentation. The pistachio gelato had no pistachio taste at all — it reminded me of children’s medicine rather than a nutty gelato. The one redeeming factor was the generous amount of toppings they put on top. Overall, while the ice creams look stunning in the case, the flavor I tried left me unimpressed.

Love the parfait fruit bar! Very good and $5

This place was a nice treat to stumble upon. It had gelato in many flavors and bars. What made it stand out was the ability to serve big groups in a very organized fashion. The staff told everyone there were two lines and it sped up the process. You also can take the gelato to the boardwalk and have a nice time on the water. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Huge servings, fast service, really good tasting flavors and not too sweet which I especially liked!

Great little shop with a big, fun idea. I was super happy to find sugar- free options. It was seriously the BEST sugar free raspberry gelato I've had!

It's a pretty underwhelming experience for me. I asked a worker to create me a gelato pop. She gave me a Dragonfruit bar without any toppings. She said that it's best to be eaten plain lol. That beat the purpose of a topping bar in my opinion. I'm giving this a 3 stars because my friend next to me had a better experience.

It’s hard for me to believe the good reviews. I don’t know if I just came during a bad time, but the gelato had a weird consistency. Kind of stale

Just visited the best gelato shop in Gburg. Owner was so nice and gave us free toppings for the gelatos for my family. Staff was a 10 and will come back every time.

Do not buy their hot chocolate. They taste sour for some reason. Worst experience ever. McDonald’s hot chocolates are much better than theirs!
