    Gelato Small
    Grace Nicole C.

    We were curious to try it as we had walked past it very often. They have outside seating and a couple of tables inside, there is no bathroom which isn't great. I got their nocciola gelato and it was delicious! The price was okay, $5.5 for a very small cup. They only had 4 flavors so definitely lacking variety but I wonder if maybe they switch them daily, I guess i'll have to go again to find out!

    Hazelnut two scoops

    We were in the mood for a cold sweet treat and satisfied both needs here after a customer outside vouched for the gelato. Unfortunately they only had three flavors of gelato available because they were making another batch. We settled on a medium hazelnut ($6.5) which was good but rather small for the two scoops. They also sell some Italian pastries that didn't look that great. They also sell pints of gelato which may be a better deal. There are a few small tables outside if you want to people watch and the weather is nice. That street has plenty of other eateries and stores.

    Beautiful art, to complement the clean shop.

    Stopped into Benvenuti, again, and enjoyed great gelato. It's not surprising, why this gelateria has such a high Yelp rating, with 100 reviews. The shop is clean, the service is cordial, and the generous servings of gelato are award winning. Hopefully, one day soon, you'll get to experience Benvenuti and enjoy the happiness.

    Continuing my ice cream kick this summer brought me to Benvenuti. I was surprised when I walked in to see a short list of flavors and of course the one I wanted (strawberry) they didn't have much of. They did offer to make another batch with a 15 min wait. I decided to go with the mango flavor with the little bit of strawberry that was left on top. I thought the mango was just ok, but definitely was a fan of the strawberry. Added bonus was the seating outside.

    Pumpkin spice gelato

    I love the gelato from this cute little shop. It tasted very authentic. They have some regular flavors and then some seasonal flavors as well. Normally I get pistachio because its the best, but my recent visit was during October and they had a pumpkin spice flavor. It was really good too! I would recommend it if its in season and you like anything pumpkin related. I love that they offer a little piece of cone with your scoop! The service is always friendly and quick! They also offer a variety of Italian products from chocolate to coffee.

    Quality gelato. Outdoor seating on Church Street. Friendly service, quality product.

    Pistachio
    Adrienne M.

    WOW! I stopped by after creating candles next door at Alchemy and enjoyed the best pistachio gelato I've ever had! I ordered a small which was more than enough to cure my sweet tooth. Whenever I need my gelato fix, I'll definitely be back for the pistachio flavor!

    Mango Sorbet
    Anju P.

    I was looking for vegan ice cream options in downtown Montclair and yelp recommended this ice cream place and the other rolled ice cream place both with excellent reviews. As I am a huge fan of the rolled ice cream, I was at the other place first but I got disappointed seeing the line till the door which was partially because of their slow service, we were asked to wait for 30 minutes, so I had no option but to walk further to this place. This place was crowded too, but the service was quick. I was disappointed when I got to know that they had only 1 diary/egg free option that was mango sorbet. Wish they had more diary free options as their regular flavors looked creamy and smooth. My child got their hazelnut ice cream. He loved it. The mango sorbet was alright.

    While in Montclair, my friends and I were looking for a sweet treat and we came across Benvenuti! The staff were friendly about letting us try the flavors and they had some unique flavors! My friend's matcha gelato was scooped BEAUTIFULLY and looked perfect on top of her cone. I got the hazelnut gelato and it was delicious! Benvenuti is a great gelato spot to try if you're in the area!

    Espresso

    This is such a great spot for gelato in a quiet walkable area of Montclair. Church street has a lot of great restaurants, and this gelateria is a great spot for dessert if you're in town. The employees here are super friendly and allow you to taste all the gelato flavors to make sure you select your favorite. Don't be afraid to combine two flavors as well! They offer cold drinks as well but this time we went for the pistachio gelato and hazelnut gelato. We also added a chocolate chip cookie and an espresso to our order because I can't go without coffee. Gelato here is spot on delicious, some of the best in NJ in my opinion. There is tons of seating outside so it's perfect for sunset and a romantic outing.

    Small Gelato Cup (~$5): half strawberry & half pistachio
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Small Gelato Cup (~$5): half strawberry & half pistachio Aya's take: We were walking around the area after dinner and stumbled upon Benvenuti. They probably have around 10 flavors to choose from, and if I'm being honest, none of them stood out to me. After trying a couple, I ultimately went with strawberry & pistachio knowing they wouldn't disappoint. Don't get me wrong; the gelato is smooth, creamy, and fresh! There's just nothing unique about it - but it is the only spot in Montclair to get gelato. Cute seating area outside and friendly staff.

    Went in to try some gelato..but girl who worked there was MIA for about 8 min so hubby went next door to Chip City to have with our cappuccino that we were waiting to order. Thought we would get a delicious cup being as though this is an authentic establishment but...cappuccino was probably worst I've had..hubby agreed Dunkin was probably better and that is terrible

    Mohamad K.

    5 stars for the gelato! Wowowowowow, they make all their gelato fresh, in house. I tried the mascarpone which was so creamy and tasty & the fruity one which is made with fresh berries. 4 stars for the pastries which had potential but just weren't fresh when I visited. Will be back!

So I told myself the next time I pass by I would definitely stop to try some. This was the day. Walked in to find one family seated at a table, enjoying their gelato.And then a girl and a guy behind the counter, they were both sitting but when I came in , the girl popped up immediately to help which look , I don't mind them sitting at all , I wouldn't want to be standing the entire time either. What I didn't love was that the boy looked like he could care less that there was a customer and continued to just play on his phone. The girl was really nice. I asked her to try the cheddar cheese flavor which I thought was incredibly wild to even have as an option.And i'm still confused how you can make gelato taste like cheddar cheese , but still be a dessert, it was good! I decided on marscapone and black sesame and had a seat to enjoy my Gelato. The Mars Capone was absolutely delicious.It was creamy, it was the right consistency.On the other hand I didn't love the black sesame.It didn't have a very strong flavor and I didn't like the crunchy whole black Sesame seeds. Usually when I get black sesame somewhere , the seeds are pretty much ground up. Before I left , I took a second look at the flavors and definitely have to go back to try some more of the unique ones. I'm actually pretty shocked that they only have 3.7 stars, I enjoyed the Gelato, hope it wasn't a fluke!

    This place is special…read more My wife and I stopped by Guerriero Gelato in Caldwell after hearing great things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype--and then some. Not only did we get to enjoy some of the best gelato we've ever had, but we also had the chance to go behind the scenes and learn about the process. Watching everything made from scratch gave me a whole new appreciation for this craft. The flavors were phenomenal: Mango was juicy and bright Espresso Chip had that bold coffee kick with perfect texture Blueberry Basil was fresh and a little unexpected (in the best way) Coconut was creamy and clean Vanilla Chip (Stracciatella) had delicate chocolate ribbons in a velvety vanilla base--pure perfection The flavors were so delicious, we forgot to take pictures--but we did leave with 5 pints. One of them was Fat Elvis, which tastes like a frozen peanut butter Reese's in the best possible way. Also worth noting: the entire kitchen and shop were spotless. Everything was so clean and organized, it instantly made us trust the freshness and quality of every flavor even more. Mike and Breanna have built something beautiful here, and you can feel their heart in every detail. Also want to give a shoutout to Amanda, who helps bring the story of this place to life online--what you see on social media is truly real. If you're thinking about going--go. Guerriero Gelato isn't just dessert. It's devotion in a cup.

I tasted piece of the chicken in the chicken salad & it was really good & well flavored so it was kind of puzzling to me that The chicken thigh lacked flavor even though the chicken itself was fresh & delicately grilled, vegetables was great especially the baby potatoes, rice was meh! But it came with no kind of sauce. There were at least 3 tables celebrating their birthday which I took for a good sign & place appears child friendly without being annoying so it seems like a great neighborhood spot. With good atmosphere & great service, & fresh ingredients, I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of flavors in several dishes but I would still cautiously recommend this place if you live in the neighborhood but I would not go out of my way to get to this restaurant.

    This has nothing to do with the treat and everything to do with the service…read more This past weekend my wife and I went to Lets Yo. I had received a $5 birthday promo and was excited to use it since it had been a while since our last visit. We originally planned to go earlier in the week but got busy, so we ended up going on Saturday despite the terrible weather. We picked our flavors and toppings and headed to checkout. I entered my phone number but the promo didn't show up. After checking my phone, I realized it had just expired. I asked the attendant if, since it was for my birthday, they could honor it. She went to ask the manager. The manager came over and I explained the situation. She said no, her reasoning? "If I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone." That didn't sit right with me. How many people are really coming in every day asking to honor an expired birthday promo? For a small oversight, I'd have to wait another year to use it? It made me feel like my business didn't matter. We're talking about $5, not a free treat. I work in the financial/service industry, so I pay close attention to customer experience. This interaction said a lot: the attendant likely didn't have the authority, but the manager had the opportunity to create a positive moment and chose not to. Moments like that are where you either create a loyal customer or lose one over something small. Safe to say, this wasn't handled well. I left more disappointed than anything. I don't see myself coming back in the near future.
