A good selection of gelato and pastries. But it was the Italian Hot Chocolate I wanted on a cold evening! They added whipped cream and offered an espresso shot , which I declined. It tasted good !
Service was friendly.
I want to visit again and try their gelato when I am not freezing! Indoor seating available.

Simply delicious. We got the smallest size because they are very generous with the serving. They allow you two flavors. We got wild blueberry and Almond, tiramisu and coconut and torta Paradiso and Rafaella. They were all delicious. Very creamy and delicate flavors. It wasn’t busy at the time so the scooper and register person did both. She was very friendly and nice. Some nice decor and a few tables inside. I would recommend to anyone.

Popped in twice for affogato while visiting Portland and surrounding areas. SO GOOD. I sampled a few gelato flavors and each was incredible. Purchased some pastries for on the road our last day in town- the whoopie pie and a chocolate cannoli, they were DELICIOUS.
Such a cute little place, and the owners are from Italy- so you know they know what they are doing. Don’t let yourself miss out on these delicacies- your tastebuds and belly will thank you.

The best Gelato place. If you are in town, don’t look anywhere else. True mom and pop shop from Italy. Clean and beautiful seating area, and you can have nice conversation with the owners if it is not too crowded.

Right across from the more popular gelato shop. Glad we went with this one.

Was looking for some gelato options nearby. Based on the reviews, I was originally tempted by the spot across the street, but my friend insisted we try this one instead. Turned out to be one of the best gelatos I’ve had in a while.

First off, the texture. Living in New England, I’m used to getting ice cream from local dairies and creameries, so I forgot how different real gelato could be. This was super silky and soft, yet dense with that subtle elasticity that melts slowly and luxuriously on the tongue. It does melt quickly, but they nailed the balance. They allow two flavor trials per person, and I ended up going with Pistachio and Torta Paradiso.

Pistachio – Always a safe bet. Super smooth, deeply nutty, and not overly sweet. Based on how little was left in the case, it seemed to be everyone’s go-to.

Torta Paradiso – Essentially a rich, subtly sweet milk cream flavor. I’ve only had the actual cake version twice before, but this was almost a perfect replica.

Gorgeous – Their signature flavor, but my least favorite. Still solid, but tasted like a denser version of the Torta Paradiso with chocolate chips mixed in.

We continued our gelato tasting at Gorgeous gelato. I appreciated the ability to try a few flavors, before selecting chocolate. It was rich and delicious. I typically like scoops with a variety of sour and sweet flavors. like chocolate and a sour flavor like lemon or pineapple. All flavors I have tried were on the sweet side, so I stick with just the chocolate.

Had the Afegatto and it was excellent. The coffee Gelato in it was creamy and full of flavor. The expresso was spot on. And have never had it served in a fancy glass before.

My husband and I have been going to Gorgeous Gelato for years. It’s been a while since we’ve been but last weekend, we decided to introduce our granddaughters to it.

The older one enjoyed trying blueberry sorbet and ended up ordering it. The little one is 3 so she opted for vanilla and chocolate.

It’s just as delicious as we remember. They really make the best gelato in New England. It’s the closest one to the ones we had in Italy.

Oh, and they have sfogiatelle (pastry filled with sweet ricotta) which was legit. Had one of those in Naples, Italy in 2017. This is not Naples level but it brought me back to the experience nonetheless. It’s a bit pricey though (almost $7 each).

Their prices have gone up and parking in the the city could be a challenge. These are the only reasons why we don’t go more often.

I can’t wait to go back here. I wasn’t sure if they had vegan options but I went on a Friday and they had 6! I had an extra large cup with rum chocolate and dark chocolate. It was delicious! The chocolate was very rich and satisfying. This has to be homemade. The service was wonderful, too. Highly recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike.
