"Excuse us, but their gelato is fucking amazing. Their recipes come from the Founder who practiced and perfected her skills in one of the finest gelaterias in Turin, Italy. Tucked away behind the fountain in Lincoln Square, this geletaria and coffee shop offers so many flavors of gelato that you’ll stand there for a while making a decision, holding up the line and making your friends uncomfortable. It’s ok. We do it too. Their gelato and sorbetti is made the traditional Italian way, with the freshest fruits and all-natural ingredients. Plus, it has 70% less fat than ice cream, so now you have the excuse you’ve been looking for." - Knoed Creative

Huge selection of gelato and some sherbet which is awesome. Plus it’s dairy free and more on plant base according to their poster. Place was clean and having few seating chairs but there’s a park right outside so you can enjoy your treat while chilling! It’s a little pricey but flavorful and worth the buck!

I love this place. There are so many wonderful flavors and you can get containers that allow you to pick multiple ones to try! My favorite are the floral flavors that usually come out in the summer: violet, rose, etc... but the regular salted caramel, cookies and cream, and mango passionfruit are also super delicious. I'm embarrassed to say that sometimes I forget about this location since its tucked away in a corner of the square, but once I remember, I always come back. Super super delicious treat.

This place is great for gelato and espresso drinks. Its location in the heart of Lincoln Square means it's popular with kids and families, so it can be a bit boisterous at times. They have a lot of classic flavors like tiramisu and pistachio, plus a few seasonal flavors like rose or lavender. They'll let you try as many flavors as you like, so you'll find one that's right for you.

This small shop in Lincoln Square is an excellent introduction to gelato. They had an impressive selection of flavors. The will give you four flavors for what ever size you get. This gives you a fantastic opportunity to try multiple flavors. An option you will well appreciate when you are forced to choose.

The best ice cream in Lincoln Square. I've been coming here since they opened and I don't think I've ever ordered the same thing twice. It's nestled back near the fountain or opt for yogurt square, but those folks don't know what they are missing. This gelato is insane. Skip dessert at your Lincoln Square restaurant and head here.

Allows sampling of flavors before you try, and multiple flavors in whatever size you choose. The larger the size, the more flavors you can fit into a cup/cone. Dairy free options are available, and every flavor I have tried has been great. Coffee, hot chocolate, and milkshakes are available to be made with the gelato as well.

The atmosphere is very bright and inviting! They offer great Gelato,smoothes,shakes, and coffee. I love the area this shop is located in. More than anything I love the fantastic customer service; Violet was superb at welcoming us and possessed a great knowledge of the stores inventory. Will come again!
