Love this spot! It was a little confusing at first because you are supposed to order at the little kiosk and then when they call your name you go choose your flavors but once you get through that part - great! We went during the world cup so they had a ton of flags for different countries hung up, such a vibe. The staff was helpful and let me and my friends try way too many flavors while we decided on what we wanted. We will be back!
I'm 100% sure this is the best gelato in Chicago! My favorite flavors are hazelnut and pistachio, and I always pair them with a double shot of espresso. Perfection!
Went for a late night treat around 10pm. Absolutely packed with no organization. We figured ordering was only happening at the kiosk, so we placed with no additional details given. No clear line, left to wait for name call. Heard the wait was 45 plus minutes from other guests with a line forming that stated an hr no order given. I watched a line for refunds build, it told 39 min for the first to be issued. There was constant yelling but 1 staff member to leave a walkway but there were so many waiting it wasn't possible. At times there was only 1 serving, sometimes 3. Most were not wearing gloves and often touching their face or hair. Took 49 min for our name to be called.
My friend took me here to try Amorino for the first time. It was super good! The girls working there were so nice and let me try several samples so I could decide the best flavors for us. We ended up getting some pistachio gelato, tiramisu gelato and the amarena gelato. We also had a raspberry macaron. The gelato was nice and creamy and it helped cool us off on a hot day.
I've been wanting to try Amorino for a while now and I was not disappointed! The kiosks were easy to use and the workers were patient as customers picked out their flavors. This location was very busy. I got the coffee, cherry, and mint chip flavors. They all worked very well together. Expensive but worth it for the experience!
What an incredible spot! I experienced the most amazing gelato I've ever tasted. The place is truly breathtaking, and the staff is incredibly talented, friendly, and attentive. During my four days in Chicago, I couldn't resist visiting every day to sample different flavors, and each visit was a delightful adventure. I even went twice in one day because everything was so irresistibly good; each flavor was perfectly crafted. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are simply out of this world. This place feels like a hidden treasure that deserves widespread acclaim; it's definitely a location I'll never forget!
I've been wanting to try this rose ice cream for awhile, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was conveniently located across from the Art Institute and Millennium Park. The service was great overall. Everyone was very nice and helpful. They have a special allergy kit that they will get if you have an allergy, and it prevents cross contamination. Unfortunately they had added an extra flavor without asking, and I didn't think to list that flavor as an allergy (I was more concerned about nuts), so they had to scrape off the ice cream. I'm not sure why they would do that-- their reasoning was that sometimes they recommend additional flavors, but I was surprised that they would add them without asking. The flavors were fresh and the rose shape was a very fun and cute idea. The seating area featured warm, relaxing colors and seemed like a nice place to sit. It was very busy, however.
I first discovered Amorino in Portugal... and now they're here. This is dangerous. Very, very dangerous. On a warm September day in Chicago, I introduced my sister to the magic, those beautiful rose-shaped scoops, almost too pretty to eat. Almost. We both stood there delighting in the creamy, intensely flavorful gelato like little girls again, instantly transported back to growing up in Buenos Aires. Some flavors just have that power, they melt and suddenly you're ten years old and life is simple. Smooth, rich, and beautifully crafted. If you have a weakness for good gelato, consider yourself warned.
Cute little cafe with such a cute atmosphere. Amorino was pretty good. Menu enticed with maroons, crepes, gelato, waffles, and sugar cones. They even had hot drinks like hot chocolates, espressos and macchiatos. Cold drinks consisted with smoothies and vegan shakes! Other options also. Cute little seating area for whatever your liking that very moment. Mine typically was a solo outing for lunch. Amorino was for the sweet tooth Dessert for the closing. Black leather booth seating with small coffee tables surrounding the cafe. Busy but I'm and out! I ordered the mini cone with pistachios and Amorino chocolate. Darn good! Smooth rich, creamy and more creamy! Hahaah! Really great ice cream! Check em out!!
Gelato is one of my favorite desserts. The floral design was a plus. Something that I had never had before. The employees were very welcoming and nice and patient. They let me try several different flavors before deciding which one I was going to go with. I also liked how you could choose more than one flavor per cone or cup. And it did not require an up charge. The place was pretty loud. It was very busy since it was a weekend after dinner. I did find a spot to sit with my group of friends. We were lucky. Bathrooms were clean I really liked the pistachio flavor and the coffee flavor.
Right across the bean. Lots of flavors to choose from. Pretty flower. Very busy but moves quickly
The first time I tried this was a long time ago in Italy. I remembered it being amazing and I thought it was the best gelato ever. I was so happy to have stumbled on this shop in Chicago! Unless my taste buds have changed or maybe the quality is different in America, but it did not bring back the same memories. The gelato is expensive for the amount that you get. With that price, you can totally satisfy your sweet tooth with a whole tub of Blue Bell ice cream from the store for less. The gelato was okay to me. The flavors were subtle and the texture was sort of icy. It wasn't as bold and creamy as I would have liked. The waffle was pretty good. The texture was crispy and light. It complimented well with the gelato. The store is super cute and decorated nicely. It's great for a date night or a special occasion. The customer service here is GREAT! Everyone was incredibly amicable. You can sample the flavors and even get UNLIMITED flavors in your cup/cone. Of course that means you get a smaller portion of each flavor as you increase the amount of flavors you get. I wish the sample sizes were a bit bigger because it was hard to taste the flavors with a tiny sliver. The employee who helped my family and me out was so patient and kind. We did try several flavors before deciding and he never looked annoyed or rushed us. Thank you! I also loved how we got complimentary hot cocoa before we left. That was really sweet and unexpected. It was perfect because it was super cold outside and we had planned to walk to the Bean. The warm drink made the walk more bearable, especially for my two younger boys. I think it's worth trying at least once, but it left more to be desired.
The gelato here was rich and flavorful and used real ingredients. The mango was my favorite but the pistachio had a good strong pistachio flavor. Indoor seating is limited and this place was busy but it was well worth the wait for the gelato. There is some outdoor seating, but with how humid it can get if you can wait or be patient for indoor seating it's a well ventilated store with AC

Kaitlyn, Zayra were very helpful in my decision making! I got the blueberry cheesecake and it was amazing!! These two employees were very kind, and informative in the ice cream products, and the menu. The shop wasn't packed at all, we went at a pretty decent time (10:00). Definitely coming back here!! These products are amazing, and not bad for the price !! read more
Amorino has arrived in Chicago!!! Located on the corner on Monroe and Michigan. It's right across from the Milennium Park. Walked in and was greeted by a colorful display of gelato and macarons . There was a line by the display counter but the ordering stations are ion by the walls. Order at kiosks and then get in line to get your order . I ordered the Signature gelato, Classico. It's a beautiful rose gelato with each layer of petals is a different flavor of gelato. The three gelato flavors used were vanilla , mango and chocolate with a citrus macaron on top. You can add additional toppings as well. Thank you Amorino for the lovely rose shaped gelato in a cone, I absolutely LOVED it. They have a lot of flavor options . Sorbet are also available for non dairy people. We also ordered macarons to go and they were delicious. They have two sizes for the macarons, the Classico ($2.50 each ) and the Grandioso ($6.50 each). I cannot rave enough about this place and will be back soon to the other flavors of gelato and macarons. Check this place out TODAY, it's going to become the new hot spot in town!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Had the best gelato macaron. The Italian hot chocolate was delicious on the snowy day. Great ambiance and trendy vibes. read more
Love their gelato! They have locations in Manhattan and overseas as well. You can get multiple different flavors in any of the sizes. The small size probably fits at most 3-4 flavors comfortably though. I don't think I could finish a larger size because the small already fits a lot of gelato in it. You can also ask to try any flavor before committing. If you get the cone, then they will shape it into a beautiful flower for you. You can also get a macaroon on top of the gelato! I've tried the pistachio, mint chocolate chip, dulce de leche, and chocolate before. Love all these flavors but do wish that the mint chocolate chip had more chocolate chips in it. Overall: Recommend if you need a sweet fix! read more
O.M.G...... Need I say more?! Probably some the best gelato I've had....seriously. I believe this is a European based chain, so you know the quality is there. I also love that there is a TON of flavor options (the fruit flavors are a personal favorite of mine). The ordering can be a bit confusing, but I used the tablet kiosks to order/ pay, and then they call your name up to ask what flavors you want. If you're like me and want an aesthetic experience, I recommend getting any of the cones (they shape the gelato into a rose for you!!); they unfortunately don't do the flower shape if you get a cup instead. Go on a weekday if you don't want to wait in a crazy long line like I see during the weekends. read more

Amorino is a busy place. Thankfully, they have several wall kiosks where customers can place their orders. From crepes to beautiful cones fashioned like flowers, Amorino has delicious sweets. I ordered the crepe and paid at the wall kiosk. The crepes come with two selections of gelato. I ordered an extra scoop. Once my name was called, I was able to have samples of gelato. I selected biscotti, bergamot and pistachio gelato to accompany my crepe. With the pistachio sauce drizzled on top, it was a delicious treat on a hot summer day. I did eat inside and sat at one of the tables behind the serving station. The only drawback were the gnats that were flying around a cookie and a cup of coffee that someone had left at a table. After some moments, I did move the plate and cup to the trash. Any time I find good gelato, I am happy. I will visit again. read more
It's worth the hype. Small cone comes with 3 flavors you can choose for the petals and you get one macaroon on top! The gelato drink- we got coffee and tiramisu and it's so good even on a cold day. The backside has some additional seating. It's across from the bean. Can be pricey but I see why there is a long line always. Good and rich gelato. read more

Gelato! In Chicago!! Near Millennium Park!!! A dream I've never been to Italy before, but I'm pretty sure the gelato tastes better here...my taste buds are still tingling with excitement. I ordered the blueberry cheesecake gelato (just a small) and it was the perfect amount for one person who just wanted something refreshing on a hot day. The gelato had the distinctive blueberry cheesecake taste and wasn't too sweet, which is exactly what I wanted. Multiple others flavors seems pretty popular, such as salted caramel and coffee. Would absolutely go back to try out others! Also, you actually pay/order before you even tell them what type/flavor of gelato you wanted - their system definitely helps with the flow of customers which makes it easier for everyone. Overall, prices are a little high but I'd say it's absolutely worth it. read more

------ATMOSPHERE------ This gelato place is located right near the Bean across from Millennium Park. It was busy at night but the workers were efficient. The inside aesthetic and nice to sit inside while you eat your gelato. The display case of gelatos is beautiful and will have you wanting to order all of them. ------FOOD & DRINKS------ You can get as many flavors as you like when you order a cone. I tried the coffee and vanilla with milk chocolate chips. The combination was delicious. Everyone I was with agreed that the gelato is a 10/10. ------PRICE------ The price for a small cone was $6 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! It is a great place for a treat. read more
Finally got to try the delicious gelato on a 90 degree Chicago day. Taste is good , perfect amount of sugar and plenty of flavors to choose from, I got the pistachio and chocolate, my kids got mint and vanilla berry something. Overall a good experience! read more

Amorino is a wonderful little dessert shop located in a bustling part of the city of Chicago. Whether you are in the mood for a quick coffee or a fancy assortment of gelato on a well pressed waffle, you will not be disappointed. The food is friendly for those with allergies and the employees do a wonderful job helping you to make an appropriate selection. Service and quality of food are superb. The setup of the shop is reminiscent of the small diners and dessert shops you find scattered throughout Italy. Small tables for an intimate experience, a clear view of the main road outside, and decorations around the shop which herald an Italian heritage. The gelato itself is comparable to the one I've tried at Tocadero's, the famous cafe found facing the ocean in St. Mark's Square, Venice. read more

I met up a friend of mine after many years and he suggested to grab something sweet - we decided to meet here. It was almost 10 pm and we saw decent crowd inside. We both ordered through touch screen pad and it was fairly quick - we got our order ready in 10 mins - everything was really delicious. I enjoyed my macrons - a really great dessert place on Michigan Ave! read more
Amorino was an aesthetically pleasing dessert spot to stop into. The menu made you want to try everything, but I highly recommend the waffle cup with any choice of gelato. The rose cone is also a pretty treat that my friends loved. Their system of ordering at the kiosk and then having them call your name to make your treat keeps things moving. Overall, Amorino is a very pretty place that would be a nice date or tourist spot. Don't forget to sample gelatos as you put together your treat! Coconut is really good :) read more
Amorino has some GREAT GELATO flavors (and some that aren't as great) and I love that you can have as many flavors as you want! I ordered the small cone and chose Pistachio, Amorino Chocolate, and Inmitable (hazelnut and chocolate). The Amorino Chocolate was thick and creamy and SOOO good. Literally, love at first bite. The Inmitable and Pistachio were also delectable but just couldn't live up to the Amorino Chocolate. My bf on the other hand got the Dulce de Leche and Caramel, and I gotta say, the Dulce De Leche just had no flavor... The Caramel, though, was so buttery rich and lovely! Definitely a fan of this place--but it's pretty pricy for gelato (we could've had sandwiches for the price we paid) and the ordering system was a little confusing... read more

A little hectic and no clear direction when we walked in but we figured it out. You order at the touch screen on the wall and then when they call your name you choose your flavors. Beautiful presentation and worth every penny...so delicious! Cleanliness was lacking in the dining area/trash area and walls but I just tried to focus on how delicious the gelato was. read more

We stopped by Amorino to finally try the gelato. We were used to the order first and then pay, but they do pay first and then pick your options after haha they also have self serve kiosks on the wall. They have a lot of flavors and I wanted to try them all, but we were going to lunch so I really couldn't haha I got the blueberry cheese and coconut. The coconut had little bits of coconut here and there. The cheesecake was my favorite. It was creamy, yet light. Then you get little bits of the blueberry jam pieces. I probably could get a tub of that. I definitely need any to come back to try other flavors. They also make it into this beauuuutiful flower thing. So cute! read more

This place is super cute. Just a little too small for the crowd that it brings in. I came around 4pm on a Saturday. Suuuuper busy & cramped. It took about 30 ish minutes until i got my order called. They allow you to choose as many flavors as you'd like. I got 3- Tiramisu, Pistachio, & Coffee. They make the cones sooo cute! Expect to pay around $7 for a classic cone. Definitely worth the money because the gelato tasted sooo good!! Would definitely come again, maybe on a weekday! read more
This place is SO SO SO GOOD!!! Definitely my all time favorite gelato ever! The workers are so sweet and there's a wide selection of flavors offered! I was so indecisive and could not choose, but then was told that I could pick as many flavors as I wanted which was every indecisive persons dream come true. I ended up getting 5 diff flavors in a small cup! Also there were multiple flavors of chocolate and coffee for all the chocolate and coffee lovers out there! Will be back indefinitely! read more

Yummy gelato! I liked the pistachio much more than the chocolate. The pistachio was subtle with a sweet nuttiness that was addictive. The chocolate was okay, it was a bit too sweet and not dark enough for me. They had an interesting ordering system where you pay at a screen, and then a server calls your name to pick your flavors. It feels a bit impersonal to me, but I can't lie that it was efficient and avoided the dreaded long ice cream shop lines. I'll definitely be back! The pistachio was yummy! :) Service was very kind as well. I also found the portion size perfect! read more
I ordered the classic cone and it was supposed to be an enjoyable moment while I had this beautiful flower ice cream. However, the clerk gave me a bad attitude with her eye roll when I told her this was not the flavor I was asking for and this ruined everything. Ice cream tasted great but the whole experience was really bad. read more

I came here to eat gelato for dinner bc everything else nearby was closed :D grande was around $11 which is pricey seeming but it was filling and tasty. Mango was refreshing and the hazelnut was good. I couldn't tell where my tiramisu flavour was but it's fine. Aesthetic place and it's cute vibes with seating. Some flies inside for some reason though. I was confused at first because you need to order with the cashier first before deciding the size and flavours you want for your cup of gelato so I looked lost at first but eventually figured it out lol. read more

OMG! This gelateria is amazing! I am vegan and ordered their vegan chocolate gelato on a waffle cone. Holy Moly was this excellent and a rare treat! Vegan ice cream is typically decent at best. The only time I've had vegan ice cream this creamy it tasted very strongly like coconut because they made it with coconut milk, even though it was supposed to be a chocolate peanut butter flavor. This was so rich and decadent and only tasted like fudge chocolate. As if it tasting amazing was not enough it was also the most beautiful cone I've ever been served! They apply it to the cone in layers to make it look like a rose read more

My favorite place for Gelato in Chicago. Be aware that the line gets too long sometimes. Depending on how fast the staff works, anticipate a wait from 15 to 30 min if it's busy. But definitely worth it. read more
Kind of a tacky place, with the flower petal shaped gelato, and is also expensive. Considering it's right across Millenium Park, it's always crowded as well. I'd still recommend this place, as it is solid and a unique experience, but just know that you're probably ending up at a tourist trap. read more

You can order as much flavor as you want. Unbelievably the long waiting time. We went the gelato cafe around 6pm on Saturday and waited for at least 1 hour. read more

I stopped in late at night because it wasn't crowded. The line was confusing because I didn't know where it started. I wasn't able to see what they have and found out you have to pay first before you can go along the displays so I bought a cone and hoped they had a flavor I like. With so many people looking and tasting samples, it was painfully slow. They didn't have a lot of flavors so I went with coconut and got out. The experience was ok. Hopefully, it'll be better next time. read more

The fruit flavors of the sorbet vary, so I suggest sampling each one to evaluate which one is "fresh." I think the gelato were much better tasting than the sorbet. The black currant was awfully sour. The mango had a weird fake texture with a mild flavoring of mango. Maybe that is why it was untouched? Hopefully meant they just refilled it. Be aware the cheesecake doesn't really have a cheesecake flavor. You can get as many flavors as you want on the cup as long as it fits. However I can't tell if putting more sorbet instead of gelato was on purpose. The gelato is pricier so use less? I liked the seriously ample seating, and decent calming mood. There is a water bottle station on the wall for free water in cups or for bottles. I would go back but probably steer clear of sorbet. They have giant and normal size macarons, but these are not made in house. You must go to the register to order your size before picking flavors! read more

Ok, first off you need to know how it works/ you need to pay first. It is very confusing when you walk in but get to the register or a kiosk screen (I did not see these my first visit) to pay and don't worry about your flavors yet, that comes later, focus on the spice you want. They take your name and will call you when you are up. You can select as many flavor "petals" as you like to build your gelato rose. Upgrade that : (ahead of time when your first ordered) with a macaron on top. I went for black currant, lemon and blueberry cheesecake with a blueberry cheesecake macaron on top and lovvvvved it! I plan to return and hit up some chocolate and caramel type gelatos. read more

Ahh! This used to be That's Our Bag, remember that? They used to be on State St. between Ohio and Ontario in River North several years ago. This is the first location here and in the state. Had a coffee. Staff and service is superb. PS. They don't have a phone yet. read more
