November 20, 2024 - Looking for a tasty Gelato fix . . . after lunch or dinner ? Here’s a relatively new Gelato place , called Abbraccio ( Italian for “ HUG”) located on the left front side of Tapia’s Restaurant, in Middletown.
Both eating establishments are owned by Ann Miller , and both are very good too ! ( I’ve reviewed both) Last night we met up with our daughters & their children for dinner. All 3 generations enjoyed our meals, then we walked out one door, into the Gelato shop! Convenient!
Loads of gelato flavors to select:
Peach, Anarena Cherry, Apple Pie A La Mode Mango, White Chocolate Cranberry, Vanilla Bean, Key Lime Pie, Limoncello, Chocolate, Watermelon Kiwi, etc.
Ann is the sweetest soul and has some of the best flavored Gelato I've ever tried!

We go out for ice cream to all of the local shops, discovered this one later on the list and we have them back 10 plus times, it really was that good. Rotating list of weekly flavors flavors, incredible staff. This is one of the hidden gems of Frederick county. All of the flavors are good but special shout out for the creme brulee

Excellent gelto! The staff was warm and welcoming! They were very patient with all the flavors I wanted to try. Highly recommend!
Love their Gelato! See Owen - he is new and doing a great job! Great customer service! 🍧
Great little gem. Gelato is freshly made and with real ingredients.
Best customer service and amazing gelato!
Delicious ice-cream! Check out the wonderful flavors! Yesterday they had 'Elvis' flavor!
Our go-to spot for frozen confections within walking distance. We like it better than the local ice cream shops.
The best around! They have the most flavorful, wonderful treats and the non-dairy options are so creamy and yummy!!
Delicious Selections... Ice Cream Parlor feel ... still uncertain what the Unicorn flavor could taste like.
Absolutely delicious flavors and we had three flavors delivered to work. Highly recommend.

Mr Andrew drove from his shop after my Uber order was cancelled. He truly is amazing!
So delicious! Personal favorite is the lemon mint. Best gelato I’ve had in the area!
I can’t speak highly enough about this place. The gelato is amazing. I promise you won’t regret stopping here. Make it a destination,
