Will never go to another ice cream place again! If not for how amazing this ice cream is (which it is and I recommend the pumpkin ginger bread) then 100% for the service. BobbyJean helped us out with a bunch of samples and some recommendations! Can't wait to go back!!

Another great Gelati Celesti location in RVA! This one is a little more hidden than some of the other locations around Richmond as it is tucked at the end of a strip mall across from Peking & Regal Cinemas off Broad Street & West End Dr. The service is usually speedy and friendly as the staff does their best to keep the line moving as this is a smaller location. There are a few tables inside as well as some bar top seating along the window, but there is a decent amount of tables on the covered patio right outside. We got to experience one of their top selling summer flavors, Jawsome, in celebration of Shark Week as it was topped with a gummy shark! Definitely a great summer treat!

Gelati Celesti has a great reputation and it lives up to it! It's an adorable ice cream spot. You can grab a cup or homemade cone and fill it up with any of their delicious flavors. My favorite is their Just Ask which is white chocolate ice cream, Oreos, and peanut butter. However, every single flavor I've tried is top notch. They also tend to to have new and specialty flavors. Keep an eye on their instagram to be updated with any new flavors and their availability. Once you decide on what scoops you want to try add some homemade hot fudge. You won't regret it!If you want a grab and go option, they have a freezer section full of their most popular flavors and other sweets. I also love coming with a group of friends and taking advantage of any of their high tables, tables, or booth options. There's even a few tables outside so you have enjoy your treat outside on a beautiful day.Additionally, the ice cream shop itself is super cute. It's filled with cute neon lights, ice cream scoop decor, and pastel colors.

We all scream for ice cream!Gelati celesti never disappoints when it comes to satisfying your sweet tooth! For this time, I got the small (two scoops) of "strawberry shortcake" and "cookie dough" in a waffle cone -- fantastic.The cookie dough is a classic with mini chunks of cough inside of it. The strawberry shortcake was pretty much plain strawberry ice cream, but with a few chunks of shortcake crumbles.The staff was very friendly and kindly let us sample the new seasonal flavors (Key lime, Sicilian Pistachio, brown sundae, and red orange sorbetto) even with the line outside the door.There was an employee cleaning off all the tables to ensure ample seating for the new customers walking in the door. There are also a few "Insta photo moments" available with different backgrounds.

They want 17 dollars for the large size bin. It used to be 11. Not to mention there are 1/2 the amount of Oreos in them. It’s a shame cause I really liked giving y’all money.

I like dairy free options. So pina-colada and mango sorbet were the options. I tried both and wow they were damn delicious

Gelati Celesti serves small batch, handmade ice cream. They typically have 24 rotating flavors, icecream cakes, pies and cookie sandwiches. They offer multiple serving sizes and pints to go.Their ice cream is rich, smooth and creamy and their flavor offering is interesting.There are multiple locations in RVA and the Hamptons. I'm rating the West End shop. Service is just OK, and varies by visit They are almost always fast, yet impersonal ( - 1/2 star)I think it's a little on the pricey side for scoop size ( - 1/2 star value)They have both inside and outside seating and online ordering+.5 Service+1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality+1 Presentation+1 Atmosphere/vibe+.5 Value

Gelati Celesti is a true gem and a beloved spot in Richmond that holds a special place in my heart. I've been coming here since I was a child over 35 years ago, and every time I visit, it's like coming home. The ice cream is absolutely delicious, with so many unique and creative flavors to choose from. And the staff is always warm, welcoming, and friendly, making the experience even sweeter. Gelati Celesti is a must-visit for anyone in Richmond, and a place that will always hold a special place in my heart.

They have so many varieties of ice cream, with the ingredients labeled. The staff is very friendly, if you love dark chocolate, I strongly recommend Chocolate Decadence Ice Cream it is Delicious.

Been coming here since I was a kid and always got fun flavors. I recently tried their plain vanilla ice cream and it is by far the tastiest ice cream I've ever had.

Did service work, got ice cream afterward and gave it for free! Got mint chocolate chip and it’s the best I’ve ever tried. Thank you for the free ice cream and I’ll definitely be coming back.
