"The Meyer lemon yellow gelato window in Portland’s Cully neighborhood attracts hoards of nearby families: Kids draw with chalk on the stone patio while parents await sprinkle-coated scoops of chocolate or stracciatella. Despite its popularity among the under-six crowd, these gelatos and sorbettos are grown up: Luscious pistachio gelato has a delicate, savory-salty flavor, while the grapefruit and Campari sorbetto doesn’t shy away from the aperitivo’s noted bitterness. Generally, sorbettos here are a refreshing treat." - Michelle Lopez
"On opening day, a spumoni-esque sundae assembled from chocolate hazelnut, Oregon strawberry, and California pistachio flavors topped with Bordeaux cherries worked harmoniously: delicate pistachio and strawberry tempered the richness of chocolate hazelnut, while the cherries were an especially coveted component." - Eater Staff
"Opened May 25 by Andrea Spella (of Spella Caffè) and chef George Kaden, I found this new gelato shop emphasizes local ingredients like Oregon hazelnut butter, strawberries, and local dairy. Customers can order scoops with magic shell, sprinkles, or fresh whipped cream from a takeaway window for patio dining, and the shop also serves affogatos and coffee drinks made with Spella Caffè." - Janey Wong
"Now filling tubs for Kaden’s Woodlawn Italian restaurant and both of Spella Caffè’s brick‑and‑mortar cafes, Pronto Gelato is churning flavors such as Oregon hazelnut, lime‑ginger sorbetto, and stracciatella, using Oregon dairy and local ingredients (Oregon hazelnut butter, Oregon strawberries, marionberry sorbetto). The operation has landed on a core lineup of about 12–13 gelatos and sorbettos with a few seasonal variations, and will serve scoops, cones and affogatos from a production facility that features a 1,100‑square‑foot outdoor patio (no indoor seating), optional finishings like Tom Bumble Crumble, a magic shell and sprinkles, and a festive atmosphere with occasional live music; the gelato window is slated to open around June 2024 at 4205 NE Alberta Street in Portland." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
