First time coming here was pretty good, then today I came here again and it was a lot better. First, I tried one of the pastries which was pretty good for the first time coming here. Today, I tried the cassatine sicliene. Personally, the best . I would definitely come here again on days were I need to get out of the house. Still, best place ever

Tried both of the name plate offerings and both were excellent. Espresso was bold, strong and rich with flavor without being overly bitter. The gelato, specifically tiramisu, had a delicious flavor of cinnamon and excellent texture. All in all the offerings were exquisite and the service was quite friendly. Highly recommend, give it a try.

The pistachio gelato is delicious. One of the better ones I've had. The older guy working there was not nice. Never said hi, never said thank you. Just dished out the gelato, typed the amount in to the credit card machine, and walked away.

The young man was an excellent example of great customer service. He spoke English, Italian, and Spanish. He explained how words are supposed to be pronounced in Italian. He let us sample a couple flavors. You could taste how fresh and natural the ingredients used are. The rice balls were cooked to perfection

We visited this cute and authentic Italian gelateria twice last week while visiting family. The gelato itself was fresh and delicious (esp. liked the nocciola and straticelli) and I enjoyed my cappuccino. Service was personable. Highly recommend!
