Gelatissimo

So glad we bumped into Gelatissimo at Pelican's Holiday Mercato. We were too full to order gelato but they offered samples that we enjoyed. We enjoyed it so much we later visited this location and indulged. Quality is amazing, flavor is incredible and customer service was great! I would definitely recommend!

We stumbled upon this store on our way to get frozen chocolate bananas.Personally, I love me a good creamy gelato.The girl was friendly behind the counter and allowed us to sample some before choosing.I got some kind of honeycomb flavor and pistachio. Being that pistachio is my FAV flavor of allllllllll ice creams, this one wasn't that great. A little disappointing to be honest. The other flavor was good. $8 for a double but a single was only like .80 less. I wouldn't drive back here for this but it did its job.

So happy this opened up on the island! Made in house gelato that is soo yummy. They have tons of flavors to pick from, including Sorbet, vegan friendly and reduced sugar options.I ordered a two scoop with Salted Macadamia & Dulce de Leche as my top scoop and Hazelnut as my second scoop on the bottom.It comes with a cute branded wafer cookie on top. They also serve gelato cakes, milkshakes and pints to take home.

Stopped by and checked out the Grand Opening of this new gelato shop in Balboa Island, and it was delicious. We were able to sample many flavors, and I definitely have my favorites: - Hazelnut- Chocolate- Extravagant Cookie DoughService was kind and friendly. Lines were kind of long on a Saturday night. Great location, right in the heart of Balboa island. Thank you for the delicious gelato, Gelatissimo!

Fantastic gelato spot! Generous portions and a huge variety of flavors. I enjoyed a single scoop of lemon sorbet. You can add toppings and they come in a variety of sizes. The workers were very kind and offered numerous samples till we decided on our order. Can't wait to return again soon. The perfect treat.

This is the BEST gelato place I've been to since I lived in Italy!! The flavors are unique, the location is so beautiful and the staff is very hospitable! I love this place!! Definitely try their UBE, very subtle but sweet.

We popped into Gelatissimo just before closing, and they were so welcoming! It's difficult to find shops that are open in the evenings since it gets dark out quick. The store is nicely decorated and has a fun color scheme. I tried a small scoop of their boysenberry and stracciatella flavors, and both were fantastic! Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat and friendly service!
