Gelatoro - Italian Ice Cream & Coffee

"I fully admit I am an ice cream fiend but I have been mostly saved from gluttony by not having any shops within walking distance of my house. That has changed with Gelatoro, which makes lovely gelato, conveniently located just a block away from the swimming pool at Shipe Park. There are indulgent flavors like chocolate and honey almond but there are also bright fruit flavors like blackberry chip and, my favorite, kibana (kiwi and banana gelato — the kiwi’s sharpness is made mellow and creamy with the banana). Gelatoro also has coffee drinks so it’s very possible I will be posted there from morning through the afternoon. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas. — Erin Russell" - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

"It’s now sharing the 4500 Duval Street address with new tenant gelato shop and bakery Gelatoro, which opened in June." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Gelatoro is a gelato shop, bakery, and cafe operating out of a former gas station at 45th and Duval. Gelatos are made in-house daily, with a handful of staple flavors, plus a few rotating weekly ones. You can also get coffee and espresso here, including affogatos if you need a little pick-me-up with your dessert." - Nicolai McCrary

"Gelatoro will specialize in gelato made daily with flavors like stracciatella, cinnamon latte, and birthday cake; fruit sorbets like raspberry and pineapple; and other rotating weekly flavors. The shop will also serve coffee and espresso drinks along with baked goods like croissants, muffins, chocolate chip cookies, and brownies." - Erin Russell
