    Gelato
    Sabrina H.

    My favorite gelato in the valley! It is so rich and decadent without it being overly heavy. It truly felt like I was transported back to Italy. Their ordering system is unique but efficient: you decide how many flavors you want and if you want it in a cup or cone (gluten-free & made in house!) and pay before sampling and choosing your flavors. Every flavor I have ever tried has been a hit! There hasn't been a single flavor that I disliked here. I usually get the hazelnut with orange zest and the mango sticky rice, but I really enjoyed their seasonal banana notte this time. Some other flavors worth mentioning are their greek yogurt, strawberry dolce, salted sicilian pistachio, and chocolate brownie (they somehow managed to make it taste exactly like delicious brownie batter). The people here are super nice too. They have lots of outside seating and a bench inside. My go-to for a sweet treat and recommend it to anyone who loves gelato.

    One of the best gelato's ever tried. Crew are accommodating, and greeted with warm welcome. Order first at the kiosks. As you approach the counter you can try flavors if not sure. Really flavorful.

    Delicious gelato!! So many different flavors. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors!! The service is quick! You get greeted immediately after walking in. Then you order at the kiosk and then go to the counter to try flavors and pick out what you want. No indoor seating but there are benches outside. 10/10 would recommend!

    Best gelato I've had! This place was amazing. I love the chocolate gelato. It was smooth and rich. I loved it. If I lived closer I'd be here more often! I highly recommend this spot. They have a few outdoor tables and no indoor seating. I can't wait to come back here.

    Exceptional! My toddler and I each and 2 flavors - her: chocolate brownie and mint cookies & cream, me: dark chocolate and banana and everything was so delicious! I loved that they were generous with samples and it was a very easy ordering process. My only wish is for more indoor seating (there's just 1 bench) since it's so hot out right now! But absolutely will return to try even more, and their delicious looking cones!!

    Heard so many good things about this gelato shop and finally got a chance to try. I ordered the pistachio and mango sticky rice flavors and both were so tasty. Pistachio is always my go to gelato flavor. Allora made this flavor richer and nuttier compared to many shops I've been to. And mango sticky rich flavor surprised me too because you can actually tasted different layers in one scoop. The staff explained each flavor I tried, which was so helpful! Can't wait to come back to try more flavors.

    I first came here on a Saturday night with some friends who recommended it and are regulars here. The place was packed! The line extended out the door, and I soon found out why. This was some of the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. I even came back the next day to try other flavors. Late afternoon on a Sunday, there were only a few people inside and I was able to try every flavor they had. During busy times, they respectfully ask guests to limit tastings to three flavors. All of the flavors were delicious, but my favorites were vanilla, chocolate brownie (which has a lot of small brownie chunks in it), banana notte, Argentinian churro, Greek yogurt (which is refreshingly tart), and mango sticky rice (which tasted like mango lassi). The owner, Lalo, was making fresh waffle cones while we were there. Their cones are perfectly crunchy, thin, and flavorful. There is no seating inside, so plan to get your gelato and eat in your air conditioned car during the summer. On cooler weather days, the patio directly next to Allora has ample seating. The interior is very aesthetic and clean. Every employee is friendly and takes the time to explain each flavor as you try/order it, no matter how busy they are.

    Handmade cones and gelato right infront of you! Flavors picked from all over the world! Such an unique experience The hazelnut orange is the best! The owners are always there working hard and very nice service It's small in there so the line is usually out the door but I guess that's a good sign right?! Haha really clean also!

    Nicole H.

    Everything about this place is wonderful! The gelato is unique and well presented. There are always lines of people here. Fantastic

    One of the best gelato I've ever had, the cinnamon churro is a must try! Kendrick always treats us so well when we stop in!

    I was in the area and heard that Allora Gelato was the best ever. I figured I better try this for myself. Quick tip. Order the size and container of your gelato at the kiosks and then you can sample and make your selections when you get to the counter. There was a long line and only one employee serving customers, but he did an excellent job working through the line and not rushing people. He actual took time to ask how my day was. The gelato itself is heavenly. I mixed the bourbon salted caramel and chocolate brownie. The texture was smooth and the flavor transcendent. I'm in Scottsdale for a few more days and I'm sure multiple stops will be on the agenda.

    Argentinian Churro Chocolate brownie

    This place is incredible. The absolute best frozen dessert place I've ever had in Arizona. You order your size on an iPad and pay which I love because it speeds up the rest of the process. You either get 1 or 2 scoops in a cone or cup. I got 2 scoops in a cone for $10. The staff are super friendly and warm and if it's not busy you can try a few flavors! The place is small but clean and feels elevated and like a luxury experience. The cones are gluten free made with rice flour and so delicious. They hold together but are perfectly crunchy and not sugary or overpowering. The Argentinian churro tastes exactly like a churro. Cinnamon-y, not too sweet or artificial! The chocolate brownie is rich and dark but the brownie chunks taste like homemade gooey brownie not like candy or pre-bought pieces. I also tried the bourbon salted caramel which I would 100% get next time just to try a new flavor combo. The ice cream is SO creamy and thick and doesn't melt too quick. They also mentioned it has less sugar and fat than normal ice cream so I guess it's healthy! LOL! Allora blew me away. I'm mad it took me this long to come in. I will be returning very soon, if not this weekend. 10/10

    This is the best gelato I have had in a while! We drove 20 minutes to get here and it was sooo worth it. There was a line to order when we arrived. We had to place our orders on the tablets first then we waited for our name to be called out. The employee who helped us out was VERY friendly and patient. He gave us a few samples until we decided what we wanted. I ordered one scoop of the strawberry dolce - it was smooth, creamy, and the strawberry flavor was delicious. My friend ordered the brownie chocolate and it too was good and rich. Service was excellent and the gelato was great. Will be back!

I love that they let you sample as many as you'd like before deciding! Service was quick, but we never felt rushed while trying flavors and figuring out what we wanted.

I sampled at least 4 flavors and they didn't seem too annoyed with me. My issue with Jeni's is primarily I think all of their ice cream across the board is too sweet (I know, it's dessert... I just really feel that dialing the sugar to 2/3 the amount would be perfect). All of the flavors I sampled would have been great. I ultimately ordered Buttercream Birthday Cake and Milkiest Chocolate, with the Buttercream Birthday Cake really pushing my boundary. Nonetheless enjoyable outing on a really hot July day. I'd go back to this location, bearing in mind it's not my favorite ice cream in the world. Also I must add, it's quite expensive. Buying for me individually, doesn't do too much damage, but for say a family of 4, this would be a pricey outing.

The food was very yummy! A little on the pricier side but nothing too crazy. I must say the Chicken Parm was a huge hit. Very mouthwatering good and crispy outer layer. The bacon wrap dates were also delicious. The tuna crudo could use a little more flavor with the sauces, but the chips were an interesting touch. The cannoli cake was perfectly executed. I would take a whole cake home if I could. The only item that was a fail was the short rib pasta, it tasted like chorizo and was flavorless. The pasta also kinda came out room temp, kinda cold. The pesto Arancini balls were also an eh and same with the chocolate moose cake. We did the restaurant week menu, hence why everything is a smaller portion size. Except the tuna crudo was ordered off the regular menu since I'm a huge Crudo fan, I figured I wanted more. The chicken parm was huge considering it was off the restaurant week menu, definitely worth it! For parking, there is valet, a parking lot and a parking garage. I didn't see anyone working the valet when I drive by and the parking lot was packed so I ended up parking in the free parking garage which is a short distance of a walk. I would visit again but on someone else's dime

    A Nostalgic, Must-Visit Dessert Destination in Old Town Scottsdale…read more Our party of six visited the Sugar Bowl for dessert following a friend's birthday dinner. Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.

They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream.
