Gelato Gilberto

We visited Gelato Gilberto in Norton Commons to order crepes. It clearly says outside on their window they have crepes. When I asked about crepes,the worker had no idea what I was talking about. Consider getting a razor blade and scraping that word off. We punted and ordered salted caramel and stratciatella gelato. Delicious!!!! A decent outside seating experience. Maybe worth a stop if eating at Waldos Chicken or Karem's Grill and Pub.

Thank you for staying open late! (A nearby spot changed their hours and closed at 8:30p. Considering how many people were having dinner nearby that seemed like a miss.)The associate working was helpful and friendly. She offered a few free samples to help us make our decision. My husband went with chocolate dirt. Chocolate on top of more chocolate. It was a lot for him but he powered through.I chose 2 flavors (love that choice!!) - cookies and cream and cappuccino. Both delicious and exactly what I'd hoped for. The cups looked tiny and we ordered medium, but they get a lot into those cups.We'll be back to try more flavors! Seating inside and on the patio.

Pre-lockdown review (my last one of these).Is this thing still on? I am really out of practice. Crazy how something that used to be such a central part of your life fades away. Wild. But this review isn't about my time on this platform*, it's about the last review I was set to write before the (literal) world changed. Apropos of me, it involved something sweet.I've written time and again how Norton Commons makes no sense to me. It still doesn't. It probably never will. But on an unseasonably warm Saturday in early winter (alas, the norm now), I found myself in NEED of something sweet. I found it at Gelato Gilberto. Despite the weather, my party was the only one in store. I thought that was odd but I wasn't about to complain about the lack of crowds in between me and gelato. As a former ice cream shop scooper (as a teen), I knew how to engage and not annoy the young lady behind the counter. Even without these protocols, though, I would have been received with smiles and grace. She was a real delight and added to my experience. She indulged my sample requests (I limit myself to two -- max), answered my questions and made small talk. Still a bit undecided, she took the initiative and suggested I go with the blood orange sorbet. I took her up on the suggestion and she was 100% right. The sorbet was crisp, bright, authentically fruity, and given to a color found in nature, rather one found in a lab. Every bite was enjoyable and none left an odd aftertaste. The sorbet was also surprisingly dense. It took me a while to get through my cup. Granted, I wanted to savor the flavor but the makeup of the sorbet lent itself to be appreciated, rather than rushed through.Had I known what the 2020s would bring, I would have made it a triple but, in hindsight, I can just be happy that it happened and hope that *this* closure really is just temporary and not another victim of my black widow tour of local businesses I frequented.And *that* closes out a series of reviews from 2009 to 2019... just a few years late.*But there's a story there. A long one.

Excellent as always. I had the strawberry sorbet when I saw the trailer at the Cresent Hill 4th of July Festival. Was very refreshing on a hot day. Owner and staff was friendly and helpful. The sorbet was very fresh and delicious! Highly recommended!

This place was the best tasting ice cream I have had in a minute. The store is so nice and so are the workers. One of the workers named Julianne helped me decide which flavor to pick, she was so nice and sweet about it. I ended up getting chocolate dirt! It is chocolate on top of more chocolate and it was truly delicious. The establishment was pristine and cozy. Definitely a must for anyone who wants good gelato.

So good to come back to Gilberto's Gelateria in Norton Commons!!!!Vietnamese coffee is delicious!!!

Had the orange cream sickle and tiramisu flavors both were overwhelmingly sweet. Also 9 dollars for two very small cups.

This lovely gelato place is sooooooo amazing, must try now if you read this far .The flavor is on spot, lovely atmosphere and a gorgeous outside seating... And today they are celebrating their 15 years in business.I tried the pistachio gelato and I couldn't stop until it's gone .We loved it,the kids loved it just amazing...

When the going gets tough, the tough go out for ice cream. Or gelato. On a hot August day, nothing sounds better than a refreshing cold treat. It had been years since I had gone to Gelato Gilberto. I had been to their location in Norton Commons, and I'm old enough to remember going to their original store. We pulled up in front of the gelateria and stepped right in. A smorgasbord of unique flavors greeted us, and I was pleased to learn that they are offering samples. After trying a few, I settled on one that I had sampled, their goat cheese and fig. Although sizes are generous here, I decided to go for a medium serving. With plenty of seating outside, we had no problem sitting in a socially-distanced manner to enjoy our gelato. I ate mine just slowly enough to avoid an ice cream headache and enjoyed every spoonful. If you're looking to beat the heat with something delicious and different in the quaint setting of Norton Commons, Gelato Gilberto is a cool spot to try!

Just ok. Has a nice seating area inside. Served to us and was melting already. Good selection of flavors.
