I recently visited and was greeted by a young woman with the sweetest Italian accent. When she overheard my mother and me speaking Spanish, she immediately switched to Spanish and began chatting with my mother, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. She was incredibly kind and took the time to suggest flavors that my mother might enjoy. As for the gelato, it was once again top-notch! With so many flavors to choose from, it's hard to decide. Everything is made in-house and simply delicious. read more

Always a great variety of unique and standard flavors, I'm trying as many as I can and they've all been delicious. This is a big hit with kids, great portions and friendly staff. There's a small area outside to sit and seating inside if you don't want to take your gelato home. I recommend the Sicilian pistachio and the Almond Joy, and anything chocolate! read more

Dolce Freddo Gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

I came here after work with my boyfriend yesterday and I loved it! I got the Berry Good sorbet while my boyfriend got the Orange Creamsicle gelato. You can tell it's fresh and they give you awesome portions - we both ordered one scoop and definitely got more. Together it was $9 which I felt was a fair price for gelato. They had clean bathrooms and outdoor seating. The staff are also super nice, Andrew and Jarieoo (sry if I butchered your name!) helped us and were really patient while we sampled flavors. We'll be back soon!! read more

This gelato place is exactly what I needed in a random Tuesday night. I had the lemon gelato and the raspberry one and really enjoyed both. I loved how the lemon was tart and not overly sweet. The women who were helping us out were very kind and let us try a few samples before deciding. Plenty of parking in the lot. I want to come back and sample more of the prepared desserts e.g. tiramisu read more

Dolce Freddo Gelato - Lemon and raspberry gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Came here with a few friends on a Sunday night. They close at nine which was convenient since we were driving back from New Hampshire. There were a ton of gelato options which it was very difficult to pick from. The staff were more than happy to allow us to try as many flavors as we wanted, without feeling rushed. I ended up getting the mango sorbet and coffee with caramel. You really can't go wrong with ordering from this place. Will definitely come again. read more

Very nice and very kind service. Excellent taste!! Seating inside and outside. Very clean. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely love this hidden gem. Love the quality of their gelato and have been coming back for years...

The one scoop serving is enough for two people. This is one the details that makes this place amazing!

Friendly staff and a great product! It is really just a cafe with expresso and cappuccinos, Tiramasu, Creme broule and of course some of the best Gelato this side of Haverhill! If you are fortunate enough to be there, some afternoon, when Vinnie B. is holding court, you have really "arrived" at the heart of the "Minga Valley"! read more

Best gelato and best service - every time we go! The staff is always pleasant and very friendly! There is such a great selection of gelato and the many we have tried are so good!! We went tonight and got the strawberry and orange creamsicle, they are our favorite flavors! read more

Tasty Gelato, nice portions, clean space and friendly help. Been going there since it opened a bunch of years ago and the quality has stayed at a high level. Also, love the hours and the location. Always a crowd but never a long wait... read more

The Alphonso Mango Sorbet was like biting into a big juicy mango. Was the best sorbet I have had - ever. My son had a mint chocolate chip and he loved it as well. Very small place, seating is limited. Allergy Procedure: YES. They use a different scoop and get the gelato from the back so it is not contaminated++++ Choice for Food Allergy patrons: lots of choices for people with nut allergies. This is a great find. I am coming back here read more

Best gelato I've ever had, including places in Boston. It's shocking to me that a place in Methuen (classy, right?) has better food than its competitors downtown. I've been a few times with my friend, Tori G, and we're always excited to see what new flavors they have. I would guess there are about 20-30 flavors to choose from but they are always rotating in new ones--esp for seasonal purposes. The pumpkin flavor in the fall was great! Most recently I walked in and didn't even need to think about what to get...my eyes, like a fat kid sensor, were immediately drawn to the CHEESECAKE and BLACK RASPBERRY. The owner even asked if I wanted to sample first, and I said, "Don't bother. I KNOW WHAT I WANT" like some demonic Fat Albert took custody of my brain functions. Prices are very fair, $3.00 for a cup which is two big scoops of your choice (feel free to mix n' match flavors like us fat kids do). If you're not sure which flavor to order, they'll let you sample as much as you like. The employees are VERY nice and are always pleased to see customers...never had to wait to be served and their tip basket is always very full--everyone loves them. *Never tried but I do know they also sell coffee, espresso, chocolate, and whatever else might kill you sooner than your doctor would prefer. read more

Dolce Freddo Gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Needed a break from the car driving. Stopped in with my daughter and sexy wife. Plenty of different flavors of Gelato to pick from. Lots of parking slots in small strip plaza. Very limited on toppings but we made it work thank God!!! They have been here for over 10 years so they have stood the test of time. Cool art work on walls for sale. Space is clean and staff is friendly as they give you as many samples to try without giving you that hate look. Will stop back in when weather is nicer. Can't really make a review on taste as my daughter is not a sharer!! We need more Bernie in our life. read more

Service :5 Service is always great here they really take care of their customers. Overall:5 Great place to go too. Definitely a gem for methuen. read more

My final stop on the tour was here - we rolled ourselves over here. Although this is no in Haverhill, it is not that far outside the environs. Sadly, I could only partake of one flavor, although they let me sample a whole bunch, which was so nice! I partook of the pistachio and it was gooooood! I am a bit of a pistachio snob - this was right on the mark, even though there were no actual pistachios in it. The got the flavor just right. I am told the owner, who was not there on Sunday, is a character and a Watertown native so you know he can't be all bad. This place is definitely on par with my beloved Angelato in Belmont. I wish I had room for more gelato but .............. sorry I just woke up from my Haverhill food coma - what did i miss? read more

Wonderful gelato! Try before you buy! (sample a few flavors first). You won't regret it!

LOVE the Gelato here. Forest selection. I'm obsessed with their pistachio gelato and I don't even like pistachio ice cream. Coconut is dreamy. Owner is always professional and kind. read more

The best gelato in my area, the staff is very nice and helpful the flavors are unreal
