Gelato Classico Italian

It's a pet friendly place. The person that serves the gelato on Friday 7pm, were super nice and friendly. It's a very reasonable price and it's family owned business. The pistachio gelato was tasty, although I wish there's more flavors to choose from. Overall love this place and definitely will come back!

THE BEST - true gelato in SF! I've been coming here since I was a child and it never disappoints. If you're in the mood for rich gelato- this is the spot!

My favorite gelato ice cream. Just wish they had more flavors and always a chocolate of some kind. We visit almost anytime in SF.

I was in the neighborhood for Golden Boy pizza and saw this little gelato shop when I parked. The service was friendly and the gelato was delicious. I got the chocolate dipped strawberry and vanilla bean flavor. The person who helped me informed me it was happy hour so I was able to get a medium for the price of a small. No complaints :) I don't believe I saw a place go eat so it's a grab and go kind of place.

Stopped by while waiting for Tony's Pizza. The flavors we had today were Raspberry and Lychee, which complimented each other very well. Wished the portion size was a bit bigger.

Gelato as it should be!I live in the neighborhood and have been patronizing Gelato Classico Italian for many years, so I may be somewhat biased when I say their gelatos are simply awesome! If it wasn't for my futile attempt to keep my waste size in check, I'd be visiting the store a few times a week, especially over this warmer weather spell we have been having in San Francisco. Over the years I have tried many of their flavors. My top favorites are Pistachio, Caffé Mocha, Green Tea and Tiramisu, but they have a long list of flavors on their menu and one is likely to find a few that they like more than others. I will add a link to their menu at the bottom of this review.The store is located on Union , just up the street from Washington Square Park. On a nice day, one can get their favorite flavor and park themselves on one of the park benches while enjoying their gelato. On this visit I tried a new flavor, Coconut Macadamia Nut, and loved it. The crunchy Macadamia nuts definitely add to the flavor. If you like both Coconuts and Macadamia nuts, you should try it. They do give you a tasters, so you won't be taking too much of a chance. Taste it and decide for yourself :-)GELATO & SORBETTOhttps://caffeclassicofoods.com/gelato-sorbetto

Read the one star reviews. Rude customer service. The server thinks this is the only Gelato store in the bay area. Well, it is not. Go to a p[ace that appreciates your business.

Okay Gelato at Best, Refreshing Sorbet: The gelato consistency is not too creamy and much more like ice cream. I have had many flavors from salted caramel to strawberry fresca, cookies & cream, hazelnut, and chocolate, all of which have been okay at best.

Free parking can be found in the North Beach and Telegraph Hill, if you do not mind some hills. There is a two-hour restriction Monday to Saturday if you do not have an A residential parking permit. Metered parking can be found along Columbus Street. Lastly, there is the North Beach Parking Garage located on 735 Vallejo Street with an hourly rate of $4 (non-peak)-$5 (peak hours of noon to 3pm) and flat rate of $30 for 12 hours. Hours Vary: Even though the shop is open from 12pm-9pm on Monday to Thursday and 12pm-10pm Friday to Sunday, these may vary. I have stopped by for some gelato about a dozen times to find the shop closed before and during COVID-19. My friend and I went this past weekend, and after we got out dessert, we noticed a closed sign for over an hour around four in the evening on a Sunday. I recommend calling and asking if they will be open at the time you plan to visit before you make the trek. :)

great dessert place right across the street from tony's pizza. variety of flavors, my favorite was lychee and raspberry, which complimented each other very well. portion size was small though.

The best gelatos outside of Italy in Northern California. Absolutely the best chocolate cover strawberry is absolutely my favorite and the chocolate caramel crunch it is to die for!
