lovable gelato,unlovable employees
by Sweettransitions182 at Citysearch
I loved the gelato, i had been to italy before and i couldnt stop trying all the different gelato flavors over there and thats what you'll find here..so many flavors so little time!
dulce de leche,chocolate pistachio,toasted almond, and nocciolla just to name a few of my favorites.Unfortunately,it seemed as if i was bothering the employees there,they wouldnt give me the time of day and i was the only one in there at the time! attitude.attitude.attitude.when i asked if i could try a sample the lady "helping" me rolled her eyes and seemed eager for me to get out..overall great gelato but the customer service is LACKING.
Terrible, depressing
by NiceGirl at Citysearch
Going here ruined the pleasant evening on the promenade. I did not like the first sample because it had a bad aftertaste. I browsed another group of flavors. They would not help me for over 5 minutes, even though no one was there. I asked for the second sample of a sorbet. (The signs says you can try three samples) The Guy would not let me try it unless I paid first. And he threw a lot of condescending attitude at me. These people working here are mean. Its like something out of Seinfeld---Ice Cream Nazi's. Except you won't find it funny. I won't go back here.
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: Bad Attitude from staff, Terrible after taste
Worth a Visit

The gelato is terrific, but the customer service isn't so great. Still, if you have a sweet tooth, it's worth checking out.

really sorry to say that I have to agree with AUSTINCALI review about this place. Tasty gelato, lots of flavors but they don't know how to do customer service!
Wow! Lots of choices and good price

I've been to Italy and the Bellagio, and their Gelato is way better!!! Wow! Wow! Wow! What can I say? I like TOASTED ALMOND the best, and they even have a rice flavor Gelato! That's funny!
- Pros: Great choices and really nice store. It looks like you're in Alaska or something.
- Cons: Parking.
