Pronto Gelato USA LLC

"This brand new, Meyer lemon yellow gelato window in Portland’s Cully neighborhood has already started attracting 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 Campari sorbetto doesn’t shy away from the aperitivo’s noted bitterness. Generally, sorbettos here are a refreshing treat — the dark fruited notes of the marionberry contrast beautifully with the acidity of the lemon." - Michelle Lopez, Janey Wong

"I ate a sickening amount of ice cream while working on the ice cream map update, but I encountered so many delicious scoops along the way. When visiting Pronto Gelato on its first day open, I made a spumoni-esque sundae out of the flavors available: chocolate hazelnut, Oregon strawberry, and California pistachio, topped with Bordeaux cherries. The flavors worked so well together — the pistachio and strawberry were both very delicate, and the two of them together kept the richness of the chocolate hazelnut from overpowering the mix. And I’ll be honest, I’d eat a giant bowl of those cherries in one sitting if I had the opportunity." - Eater Staff

"Pronto Gelato, a new gelato shop from Spella Caffè owner Andrea Spella and Campana chef George Kaden, opened on May 25. The shop’s gelatos incorporate local ingredients like Oregon hazelnut butter, strawberries, and dairy. Customers can order scoops of gelato with magic shell, sprinkles, or fresh whipped cream from a window for takeaway or patio dining. Pronto also serves affogatos and coffee drinks made with Spella Caffè." - Janey Wong

"Pronto Gelato will serve a variety of gelato and sorbetto flavors, including grapefruit Campari sorbetto and Oregon hazelnut gelato. The gelateria will operate from a takeout window and offer optional toppings for scoops. It will also feature an outdoor patio with seating and occasional live music." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
