Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect for casual first dates - low commitment, easy to walk around after, shows good taste without being overly formal. Skip if your date is lactose intolerant
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed - it's counter service with limited indoor seating (first-come) and patio tables that turn quickly
Is it kid-friendly? Very - kids love watching gelato made through glass windows, smaller 'bambino' sizes available, high chairs present. Gets chaotic weekend afternoons with families
Best For
Better for: Authentic Italian-style gelato with subtle, refined flavors. Superior to Salt & Straw for texture, less gimmicky than Van Leeuwen
Skip if: You prefer American-style ice cream with chunks and swirls - try McConnell's instead. Also skip if you want huge portions for the price
