Went after dinner for desert- I was hoping for one vegan option but they were all out. The group I was with raved about the tiramisu flavor and pistachio. I really loved their event poster wall and they had good jams playing.

My friends and I tried the chocolate fondante, Mexican vanilla bean, and pistachio, and tiramisu in a pint. The medium size, which allows 3 flavors, was pretty hefty and definitely for sharing with friends. The gelatos were all smooth and creamy. The chocolate had a fairly bitter taste to it and I thought it tasted like cocoa powder. I'd categorize it as an adult chocolate rather than one you'd want to give kids. I've never had Mexican vanilla bean before but the flavor itself was so pronounced and strong in the gelato, which I appreciated. The pistachio and tiramisu ones had more subtle flavorsThe medium was $7.50

I love love love this place because of the taste and also because it is goat milk! I don't tolerate well cow milk ice cream and these have been great every single time! We like them better in summer but winter is totally fine :D I believe that the ones that are always on the counter is lemon and espresso. Both are very good. I like trying new or seasonal flavours too as mango or was it pineapple? And try their waffle! Oh super tasty!! I will definitely go and try the fig one. I've been trying to catch it! We usually sit in one of their two small tables outside. The one in the inside is very busy. Staff is very patient and friendly. Sometimes we have to make a line but it moves fast when 2 people helping. Finding a parking spot on the road is a challenge. Last time we paid in a nearby parking lot.

Stopped by for a quick gelato craving after dinner. The chocolate flavor was ummmmmmmm sooooooooooo goooooood. So fudgy, gooey and oh so delicious. I could eat it all day. Hubby got the lemon olive oil and rose flavors and loved it. Lemon was tart, just how he likes. And rose was very refreshing. Great dessert option if you are in the hood!

Delicious dessert that's sizable too. Though not quite crazy enough to impress and exceed expectations, Fainting Goat is above average. Gelato is an improved version of ice cream that can also be considered healthier with less fat and less sugar. It's also typically denser with less air whereas ice cream sometimes is half (50%) air. We got the Mint stratiacella, chai latte, Fainting Goats Milk with, and Chocolate Fondante I'd rank my favorite to least favorite as: chocolate fondante, chai latte, mint, and fainting goatMy partner ranked: mint, chocolate, chai latte, fainting goatThe fainting goat simply had a more indescribable taste that was a little too unique for our likings. It wasn't necessarily bad, just different. Some type of vanilla with The mint was very standard but hard to go wrong with. Chocolate was extremely rich. Chai latte was a cinnamon flavor with strong hints of sweetnessOne complaint was that my utensil had plastic bits ripping off and I eventually found out I ate some bits thinking it was part of the gelato. Super tiny bits but awful to think about. Debated on how this affected my perspective for a bit but I think it's a negative.

I've been excited to check this place out for a while now since I've been missing the gelato in Italy! It was empty on a weekday evening too. My partner and I split a 3-scoop cone with chocolate fondante, goats milk, and pink guava gelato. Chocolate fondante was not too chocolatey - but I now see they have dark chocolate on the menu. Goats milk was a subtle flavor, not sure how to describe really, and I wasn't a big fan unfortunately. The pink guava was yummy but a little too sweet. Overall not super super impressed with the flavors I picked unfortunately. But the gelato was very creamy and silky smooth. So I'll have to give this a 3.5/5. Although I'll have to come back to try the hazelnut or dark chocolate if they have those flavors.

This place's gelato is so good, I mean seriously. Lots of ice cream choices in Wallingford after dinner and I almost always spring for fainting goat . i mean, you really just cannot beat the thick texture and deeep flavor. I'm a huge fan and have been for years. I also recently tried their molten cake and it was DELIGHTFUL. You can definitely tell it was homemade that day- really rich and deeply chocolatey. exactly what I was hoping for. Will be back the next time I need dessert in Wallingford. And the next time after that, too.**would def be interested in some more flavors being added to their roster... but that in no way detracts from their hard earned five stars

Always great whenever we go. We look forward to seeing the seasonal flavors during our visit. Right now it's cinnamon or pumpkin spice. I tried the cinnamon one (as 1/2 of my small order) with the other half being cappuccino. Friend had cinnamon and pistachio. Yum!
