Deluca Gelato

We were trying flavors for an event, so we got three sample platters which are $9 each. They have a lot of flavors to try. I would say the flavors are hit or miss, but the ones that are good are very solid. My favorites include white chocolate raspberry, raspberry sorbet, watermelon sorbet, tiramisu, chocolate, biscoff, and oreo. The staff was soo friendly and even pointed out the 7 sample platter.

Love, love, love DeLuca Gelato!We've had it at local restaurants and by the pint at a few RVA restaurants though somehow missed there was a physical location where you can see and try dozens (approximately 50) of intriguing flavors! Oh my, walking in was like going to Disneyland!They have Sorbetto, Gelato, and Gelato with nuts all clearly labeled by color in the case, all made with fresh ingredients and NO corn syrup. Plenty of dairy free and nut free optionsThey also offer Milkshakes, Smoothies, and Frappecaffe - gelato blended with Italian coffee. AND Affogato - a scoop of gelato "drowned" in espresso!They make their cones on site too!Ambiance is bright, cheerful and inviting Service was outstanding!!!!!!Plenty of seating inside and outsideGenerous portion sizeCutest little gelato spoon :)My rating rationale +1 Service+1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality+1 Presentation+1 Atmosphere/vibe+1 Value

Delicate Gelato is an adorable gelato shop and so many delicious flavors! Choose your size cup or cone and fill it with any of their delicious flavors. I love the Amaretto, Cookies & Cream , and Biscoff Cookie flavors. However, with choices like Chocolate Hazelnut, Cookie Dough, and Dark Chocolate, you cannot go wrong.The sweet spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy where you please depending on the weather. It's really nice to enjoy your gelato on one of their outdoor tables during the spring & summer months.

Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience here. The place was not welcoming of children and the flavors we had were lack luster. Flavors seemed to be mostly flavored with flavorings versus actual pieces of fruit (for example-didn't see any raspberry pieces in the white chocolate raspberry serving). We may have selected the wrong flavors, however I'm not sure we'd go back. Not a welcoming place to bring young children.

**A Hidden Gem with Authentic and Affordable Gelato**I'm a huge food lover, and after traveling to Italy last summer, I know what authentic gelato should taste like. De Lucas offers the most authentic, Italy-like gelato I've had in the U.S.--hands down the best.Since discovering them in May, I've visited weekly. I'm obsessed with the Espresso and cookie dough flavors. Despite being lactose intolerant, their gelato doesn't upset my stomach. They also have tasty dairy-free options like blueberry pomegranate for those who like tart flavor. Whether for office parties, family gatherings, or movie nights, De Lucas Gelato is always a hit. I'm on my way to get my weekly pint as I write this!

I believe this is the best gelato shop in the Richmond area. Authentic consistency with tons of different flavors to choose from. They use real ingredients so everything is bursting with flavor. The shop is located in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. The staff and management are super friendly and patient. The shop is very comfortable with plenty of seating. They make homemade cones and the shops smells of the cones baking when you walk in.

I was extremely eager to give this place a try since I LOVE gelato. The gelato itself was good they have so many flavors, but apparently than one man working thought 2 samples was too many because when I asked for another one he did the most dramatic sigh & eye roll ever. I almost walked out with getting anything. When we came in he expected us to already know exactly what flavors we wanted. No welcome in or suggestions.. just "hurry up, pay, & get out" vibes. I've read other reviews about a rude man there from 5 & even 10 years ago, & I'm definitely wondering if it was the same guy. He made it seem like we were such a burden going in there & we were disturbing him. Other than that the place was cute, with lovely Italian murals on the wall, & the prices were reasonable. Furthermore my friend got the waffle cone & it was great. Customer service can really make or break a place & it was just awful in this case.

Excellent service and delicious gelato! I came in just briefly before closing and the woman behind the counter was so helpful in informing me about her favorites and which flavors taste well together. I got the Nutella and the strawberry cheesecake and together they were amazing! I would recommend! This place will become a staple for me and I look forward to returning and trying more sensational flavors

By far the best sorbet that I've had...I've tried pineapple, strawberry, raspberry and mango sorbets and they are all premier status. My wife says this is the best sorbet too.

This is the best Gelato in Richmond by far. The lady working behind the counter is very friendly and remembered me after only coming there once. I've had the cannoli, tiramisu, and pistachio gelatos and they've been top notch. I've also had their regular cannoli and that's been great too. I highly recommend trying this place if you're craving something sweet.
