Rosso Gelato

I visited for the first time on 8 March 2024, right after I had dinner next door at Valerio restaurant. I arrived at the gelato shop around 10pm and there were about 5 other people in line.This is a little ice-cream shop that serves a variety of gelato flavours whose owner is originally from a small town close to Venice, Italy. The owner was working in the shop when I arrived and he is a sweet old man who I briefly spoke to. I forgot his name, my mistake (maybe Charles?).GELATO FLAVOURS -- There are many to choose from. After reviewing all the flavour offerings, I decided to get the Salted Caramel and Lemon Custard flavours. Both favours really complimented each other - the sweetness of the caramel coupled with the citrusy lemon custard - just perfecto. The gelato was very rich and creamy. It tastes so much better than traditional ice-cream.AMBIANCE -- The ambiance inside is nice with a couple of chairs/tables to sit on plus some wall decorations. I love the red seating and the red motorcycle that sits by one of the front windows. I'm hardly on the east side of Cleveland but I can't wait to visit again. I love supporting small local businesses like Rosso Gelato.****GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024- 16/150 total reviews in 2024- 666 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 16 March 2024

We used to go to the old location when it was in Rocky River. It seems that things have gone downhill since they moved. The people working were nice. However, the flavors weren't as intense. My sister found a large hair in her gelato. Several of the flavors were out. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, with no paper towels and a tiny toilet paper roll wasn't even in the holder, just placed on top of the grab bar. Unfortunate that things aren't as good as they used to be...

They changed something about the gelato ingredients. The flavors tasted so fake, not the same. Even my husband said the same thing. This was my first time here since they closed in Rocky river which we used to love. The bathroom was so disgusting I don't think it's ever been cleaned, worse than a gas station bathroom. I hope the owners take note that their old customers know that the gelato is not the same and clean the bathroom.

YUM! Rossi Gelato was delicious! We went on a Saturday afternoon when the weather was nice. We had to wait a little while as there was only one person working, but it was worth the wait! When it was our turn to order, he asked if we had any questions about the flavors. I decided to try the stracciatella and hot chocolate flavors - you can dive up any size into two flavors. Both were amazing! I got the size small and it was more than enough for me. There's also seating inside. I didn't the any of these, but they also sold coffee drinks such as lattes and some desserts. I will definitely be going back!

On such a hot day, we decided to visit Little Italy to enjoy some gelato. With such high ratings on Google search, we decided to give this place a try. We wanted to love it as there were many regulars there, and the line was long. Let me first start by saying the place is clean and the customer service is excellent. There was only one guy handling everyone's orders. He was polite and patient, and definitely working hard to quickly serve us. You can get two flavors in any size cups which is a benefit when you can't decide the flavor you want. There were so many flavors to choose from.We ordered the Lemon custard and the raspberry in a mid size cup for $5.50. Very reasonably priced, but it just did not hit the right spot, maybe it was just the flavors we picked. We've tasted better raspberry gelato. Lemon custard was a new flavor for us.

How could you not get gelato when in Little Italy? Ate dinner close by and the bakeries were already closed, so happy Rosso was open. Beautiful selection of gelato and sorbets. Many, many flavors to choose from! Bright lovely colors. I had a small cup of lemon custard and raspberry truffle, cost $4.50. Love how the server scooped it tall. So creamy and delicious!

Take this review with a grain of salt knowing we came here during the Feast, so operations may have been a little different that day! My husband got a small cup of the brownies and cream which he thought was good, not mind-blowing. I got a small cup of the blood orange which was tasty and different, kind of along the lines of a sherbert. It was $5 for each small cup which is a little expensive, but they do load the cups up pretty full. We wish we could've gotten samples before ordering, but it might have been that just during the feast they weren't offering samples? Not sure if that's different on a regular day. Overall, good gelato, I might not go out of my way to come here, but reasonable for a sweet treat if you're in the area.

Wide variety of gelato favors! Flavors could've been a little richer, but still not bad for a late night gelato spot in the cute ambience of little Italy!

Visiting Cleveland today and explores their little Italy region. I live this little place. First off appreciate your precautions for Covid and the staff being so friendly!!!!They let you Teaster various flavors. Costs range from $4-$6 (s, m and large). I hade raspberry truffle and one that tasted just like chocolate chip ice cream. Their lemon is great .. so much lemon flavor. Sitting inside and out. Would def try this again if in the area!!!

Excellent gelato!!! I had the cookies and cream and the Nero. Nero is a water based (vegan) chocolate gelato. It kinda tasted like dark chocolate, or like brownie batter. The cookies and cream was absolutely delicious. Great gelato at an excellent price and portion size! Highly recommend!
