Definitely the prettiest ice cream cones around! Amorino's trademark rose shaped scoop with petals of delicious gelato (choose as many flavors as you like!) on its cones are handmade by the staff. This is why I always order a cone rather than a cup from Amorino, because they really go all out on crafting a gelato rose with petals on the cone. It's so cute. This location is right on the Riverwalk and it's fun to stroll around with your ice cream.
This place is right on the River Walk, so it's easily accessible from river level and surrounded by other businesses. The display cases were clean, which made it easy to see the gelato options. There's no one taking orders since everything is done through self-service kiosks. There was only one girl working, and she was clearly doing the best she could. For a Saturday night, it was surprising that only one employee was scheduled. What we ordered: - Waffle sticks with L'inimitabile (hazelnut chocolate) s/pistachio macaron: The waffle itself was tough and chewy and had absolutely no flavor. That said, the hazelnut gelato was incredible, light, airy, and not overly sweet. The gelato completely outshined the waffle. The pistachio macaron didn't taste like pistachio. I was hoping to get this flavor bomb in my mouth but it didn't have a distinct flavor! The texture was textbook but the flavor wasn't there! - Raspberry gelato with raspberry macaron: The gelato was extremely bitter. We understand fresh raspberries can be tart, but for a gelato, we expected just a touch more sweetness. My daughter loves raspberry, and unfortunately this one missed the mark for her. - Chocolate gelato: Smooth, silky, and just right. The flower presentation was done nicely, but honestly, it's not worth the price. Overall, this feels like a place you try if you're a tourist walking the River Walk, or maybe once if you're local, but it's not somewhere we'd go back to regularly.
I actually LOVE this chain...especially the one I tried in Atlanta, GA. This San Antonio location was a bit rough though. Not really a cafe (like the Atlanta location), but just an order stand and kiosk. Also, the service was a bit rough too. In all honesty, our gelato cones looked terrible...nothing like the fancy ones that truly look like a Rose. Still the taste was really good! I'd love to rate higher for this gelato chain, but part of what makes it special is the beautiful "Rose" presentation of the gelato...and that was not delivered here. Also, the colors were off. The Pistachio flavor was supposed to look green, but looked yellow. This ruined the Tri-Color look of the Rose as well. Very disappointing. Sorry...As much as I love the gelato here, the ones we got were somewhat botchy versions....and the Rose design just wasn't fully there. Not impressed!
The gelato was okay but for the price no thanks. And the macrons were way over priced. You have to order your size and if you want a cup or cone on a kiosk and then tell the people what flavors you want which just seems pointless to put it on a kiosk. Not much to write home about. Very interesting gelato flavors if you're into that.
Highly recommend!! Loved the flavors we chose! Crazy spent $27 on ice cream, however it was worth it! Out of the four flavors we got, blue berry cheesecake, peanut butter, Carmel and pistachio; my personal favorite was the peanut butter and Carmel combined. However I do laalalaloooove peanut butter. So I am partial. The service was great, the worker was soooo helpful with the kiosk and breaking down how the process works and what he recommends. The ambiance is great being right on the river walk, so you have the option to walk with your ice cream or sit and enjoy on the stone wall. We enjoyed ours on the stonewall while enjoying conversation and the relaxing scenery. Overall you will not be disappointed with this gelato experience!
Very average gelato. For what you receive, the price of this gelato is very high. The portions are incredibly small. The "Classic" size (their equivalent of a medium) is going to cost nearly $8 without any add-ons. The flavors of the gelato were very good but they tasted a bit freezer burnt. Here you must order at a kiosk and pick up on the opposite end of the store. The queue area post-kiosk was super busy and crowded. You really have to pay attention to hear when your order is ready. Although busy, for a simple gelato order, we were served very quickly. I am not sure if it would be the same for the blended or other speciality varieties. I wouldn't recommend this place - I am sure there are some better local spots to cool off on a hot day at a much lower price.
Located right on the riverwalk, as you can expect it will a bit overpriced for what you get. The 'large' I would say is a standard in less touristy spots. The flavors are somewhat unique but none really blew me away. There was even a piece of the skin of the pistachio in mine. The 'unlimited' flavors is misleading as it just means you have the option to add any number of flavors but it still needs to fit in the cup size. Flavors I liked: dark chocolate mint chip, hazelnut
Definitely not like the other Amorino locations. I first tried out their gelatos in Boston, Newbury street and became a fan ever since. However, this location in San Antonio Riverwalk is small and tasting is not allowed. If you need to taste, then you'll have to order. The service is not great too as the person looked clueless about anything I questioned about. As usual, I tried my favorite pistachio gelato. It was so bitter!!! Extremely bad and doesn't justify the name gelato. Bad experience
The gelato here is really tasty! I got the stracciatella and it had large pieces of chocolate in it and was super creamy. I do think the portion size could have been larger at almost $8 for the medium. Overall, I would come back here if I was craving a sweet treat on the Riverwalk.
Got there after riding the boats on the Riverwalk and waited in a little bit of the line. The lady helped us with the process of ordering and what to do, so that was really nice. It's a small 'hole in the wall' place, but the ambience is definitely fitting in with the area around the Riverwalk and continuing that. In our while party and different cups we got chocolate gelato, blueberry cheesecake, lemon sorbet, tiramisu, vanilla gelato, coffee gelato, mango sorbet, raspberry sorbet, strawberry sorbet, caramel gelato, and mint gelato. Thoughts on the flavors: - Chocolate gelato: fabulous, great flavor, really creamy - Blueberry Cheesecake Gelato: Good - Lemon Sorbet: sooo fantastic! Had a great lemon flavor but not too overpowering that you would think of with lemon (could've had 20 cups just of that!) - Tiramisu Gelato: it was okay, wasn't a big fan just because the coffee flavor was too overwhelming - Vanilla Gelato: regular vanilla flavor, probably wouldn't get again just because it's vanilla - just a plain flavor compared to all the others - Coffee Gelato: really great, didn't like that it had coffee beans in it - Mango Sorbet: superb - tasted like they were fresh mangos - Caramel Gelato: really great, rich caramel flavor to it, and smooth - Mint Gelato: Great mint flavor with chocolate chips, even had dried chocolate syrup swirled within it that added to the flavor - Strawberry Sorbet: good strawberry flavor, had little flecks of strawberries in it too. Tip when you go: You order on the kiosk, pick what size cup you want for your dessert, keep in mind that you can have multiple flavors in one cup rather than just paying for two scoops of two different flavors like you would at an ice cream place. You order your cup/cone/etc., and they'll call you over to the display window and pick out your flavors. We all got the small cup and could get four flavors. Also the display was easily accessible and had great descriptions of the gelato/sorbet. Also everything is Vegan & Gluten Free, including the macarons. You can taste the flavors, after you purchase the cups.
Ice cream is very tasty and the consistency is just right. You order with an automated machine and the service is reasonably on time
I don't have anything negative to say about gelato. Delicious, nice self service touch screen ordering, hits the spot when you're hot walking around on the river. And you can get a macaron on top!
Amorino Gelato was the perfect pick me up and stop along my bestie and I'd walk along the Riverwalk and such a pleasant surprise! Firstly, it was conveniently tucked alongside the path and it was nice that it was shaded and had a well organized line and self service pay kiosks before you chose your flavors. The staff were very nice and kept the line moving. I chose to do one of the smaller waffle cone gelato macaron roses and it was the perfect size while still allowing me to try three different flavors! Plus the macaron was delicious and complemented the flavors I selected immaculately. It was truly the perfect sweet treat and super enjoyable to eat alongside the river. The ambiance was great and very aesthetically pleasing and peaceful. read more
This place serves superb gelato, the quality you expect in Europe. It's located along the Riverwalk with a good amount of indoor seating down a corridor. The day I stumbled upon it they were having to repair one of the freezers, so the gelato freezer normally facing out to the Riverwalk was empty. My heart sank but then I saw their freezer just inside the doorway was working and had several flavors. Fortunately, they had the flavors I most desired. You pay at a kiosk, choosing the size cup you want. After paying you choose your flavors. You can have multiple scoops, the number of which depends on the cup you choose (they have cones too). I picked two scoops for my cup: stracciatella and coffee. Due to the freezer issues that day, both were ever-so-slightly more melty than usual but it didn't alter my enjoyment of both. The delicious creamy flavor and texture of the stracciatella and the many small chocolate chips within made for an amazing taste experience. The scoop of coffee was also very creamy in texture and had a robust flavor, just the way I like it. Definitely a recommended spot to stop if you're in the restaurant area of the Riverwalk. read more

A little gelato shop on the River Walk. It's really hot so I don't order gelato because it will melt. I ordered a frappe and it was delicious. You can taste the coffee and the drop of gelato included. Staff is very friendly. read more
