This little spot for gelato and sorbet hit the spot. They have plenty of benches and tables to sit and enjoy your treat. It faces a parking lot, but there weren't many cars in the evening.

Delicious authentic gelato. This little corner place on the edge of a parking lot across from a beautiful church is the perfect stop on a hot summer day. I've eaten gelato all over the world and this place compares to the best! Highly highly recommend.

Great place to take my 2 year old for some ice cream. Good outdoor seating, great service. Parking is convenient, but $5 sometimes, however I think it’s free on weekends.

A small but very good gelato spot. It's very small like a walk up window. Service is quick and nice. They're not very many flavors but good enough to hit the spot on a warm sunny summer day.
