    Gelato of the gods
    Randall B.

    Usually 5-star. Today the gelato was mushy and sticky. Not hard at all. Portion sizes also seemed much smaller. Overall a disappointment when it is usually top notch.

    Red Velvet Marquise
    Caroline P.

    Stopped by on a Saturday night with a friend for a sweet treat and had a great time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was super cute and there was plenty of outdoor seating to choose from.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were helped very quickly, and the line was not very long. in fact, we took longer to decide what we even wanted than it did to get to the front. My friend got the mixed berry, vanilla cake, I got the Oreo cheesecake, and we split the red velvet marquise the mixed, very vanilla cake was phenomenal, same with the Oreo. We got the red velvet marquise because we thought it would be fun to try something new, it was definitely interesting! Didn't get much of a red velvet or cream cheese flavor, and the outside was very jelly, but it was still fun to try. The server was really nice, helped us decide between a few options, and answered our questions really well. Altogether this was a fun, quick outing For our weekend.

    Huge strawberry Nutella crepe
    Kimberly E.

    Really enjoyed this place and all the different options of dessert they had. Definitely something for everyone. My friends and I shared a huge crepe and it was delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was really good and vibes were great as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't go wrong with dessert!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place with good atmosphere and friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The mango sorbet was very tasty and my friend liked the pistachio gelato. Next time I plan on trying a crepe

    Stopped in for dessert after dinner about a block away and the shop was relatively empty for a Sunday evening. Extensive menu, quick service and the most delicious looking desserts you could find! We ordered a panna cotta to dine in on, and then gelato to go. The panna cotta was my absolute favorite: well balanced and not too sweet. It was a vanilla cake with I think Nutella which was so good! We did pick up gelato to go, and the raspberry fell a little short to our expectations but I think that's personal opinion more than anything. Thr passion fruit was an absolute favorite and if in the area we would 100000% get it again.

    Chocolate Marquis (Gluten Free)
    Aryelle S.

    Service was great. The ice cream was delicious. The tiramisu and fruit cake were just okay. However, the chocolate marquise was fantastic. Highly recommend that if you like chocolate.

    Wooo!

    An's Dry Cleaners lines remain notorious so my friend recommended this spot. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking, some metered, some not. Seating: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside seating, good for small groups, individuals, and pairs. Room for about 20 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Vibes: Welcome to the gayborhood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the vibe is cozy yet modern--comfort meets artisanal. There's plenty of seating, soft lighting, and a mix of locals and dessert-lovers unwinding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The scent of gelato and freshly made pastries fills the air which makes you want to say "yaaaaas"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] FOOD/DRINKS: Honey Lavender (Recommend) Smoooth. A lite floral feel that's subtle, elegant and soothing. Hazelnut Cremino (Recommend) You got to love that chocolate hazelnut taste. Creamy and sweet. I think the hazelnut and lavender gave it a good balance. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly and quick service. Brian was great! TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Good flavors, selections, all at a reasonable price. Figaro Dessert Café brings creative, high-quality desserts to San Diego. The gelato stood out for flavor, texture, and presentation. If you're in the mood for something special (and dessert-focused) in North Park, this place is a strong call. I'll definitely be back to try more of their flavor lineup. TIPS: * Go with friends so you can share multiple desserts and sample more flavors.

    Located right in the heart of Univ Ave, Hillcrest, this dessert cafe has a wide variety of deliciousness to choose from. They def have a lot of GF options on the baked goods and Vegan sorbet options on the gelato side! They also have yummy crepes which we are looking forward to try next time, as well as their hot chocolate! Bookmarked!

    I love gelato. Today was a very good day. We'd had some dinner and we decided we wanted dessert so we took a walk. We saw some interesting places, and I saw the gelato sign. Many gelato places will also have espresso. This place, however, has a wonderful variety of goodies. They do crêpes, they have all sorts of little chocolates and some other pastries, but I ordered gelato. They had a really nice variety of flavors and I appreciate that It didn't have that artificial color enhanced look. I decided to have a single scoop of a mango and it was delicious. Now I'm not an expert so I couldn't tell you how authentic it is, but I will tell you it was yummy. I had the mango gelato and was such a nice balance of mango and creamy without being overly sweet I debated on getting an affagato however, I wanted to avoid the caffeine however I think this place probably makes a very nice one Some of my party had a latte and they really enjoyed it The girl who waited on us was very helpful and made us feel incredibly welcome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And I'd love that there were two cows on their ceiling, but upside down. Such a conversation piece[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    Passionfruit Tart and Mango Strawberry Cheesecake
    Winnie L.

    Pro-tip: They are one of the dessert places that open pretty late so it's a great option. Only a street parking available. Highlights: I was pleasantly surprised by the passionfruit tart. I thought the flavor was not too sweet or too tangy but just right and the tart crust was really crispy and yummy. Lowlights: I do think it's a bit overpriced especially for the size. It's a bit odd to me how they still have such a huge selection even just 30 minutes until close. It makes me wonder how fresh the desserts are.

    Reminds me of a couch but pretty good

    Hmm not really sure what happened to the quality of service at this place but the two guys today really couldn't get it together. We LOVE the desserts here but somehow the two guys working today just didn't know what they were doing. Boxed up our desserts, left them on the counter and continued to serve other people coming in. Then one asked the other "bro, whose are these?" And the other had no idea until we spoke up. Honestly, wtf. Order on DoorDash. Probs a better experience than coming in person.

    Sometimes dessert is a work of art, sometimes it's just something yummy to satisfy a sweet tooth. This visit proved to be more on the artistic side than just sweet. Everything in the display case is absolutely beautiful and I wish I had time and physical capacity to try them all. But alas, I have my limits and had to stick with what I came for-the crepe. The nice man behind the counter whipped up a couple of delicious crepes for us-I had the banana, strawberry and Nutella and my wife had a cheesecake something or other. They were both sooo good and plenty large to share. I should have stopped halfway through, but I pushed myself to finish it. The whole thing. Yup, I ate it all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cafe is beautiful, clean and a little dark. I know it's probably mood lighting, but would have loved just a touch more light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, as we got used to it, we settled in and enjoyed our mid-morning indulgence. I'll definitely be back to try some of those beauties in the display case.

    Fígaro, one of my favorite sweet treat spots in north park. I'm always guaranteed something yummy. Either gelato or a crepe or a chocolate marquis, there's so much to choose from and you can't go wrong with anything you choose. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is always clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

I felt it was more of an experience as they started you with a palate cleanser and walked you through all the flavors, having you sample each one rather than you asking for specific samples like every other ice cream / gelato shop I've ever been to. They provided a description of each flavor and a sample. The flavors are definitely unique and most nothing like I've tried before. They change their menu every two weeks. There were two stations of flavors, so two parties being helped at one time. I can see how the wait can be long on weekends or summer evenings. The shop is small inside with a little bench by the window for seating and just three small tables outside. I was able to find parking a short walk away, but that could also be a challenge on a weekend. I ordered a tall cup with two flavors side by side (lingerie and ripstop). The gelato was creamy and delicious. I'd love to be able to come here again and try new flavors!

    Damn. I love pizza…read more I really do. The issue here is that Gelati & Peccati has made it very difficult to enjoy other pizzas. It was so good that I've had to compartmentalize a bit so I can go about my life enjoying lesser pizza such that I can still kind of find a "bad" slice of greasy pizza satisfying. Anyway. Gelati & Peccati, roman-style pizza extraodinaires. I have tried a few of their slices by now, but my absolute favorite is the Lussuria. Potato on pizza is something I've always loved, and don't see enough of, so I knew I had to get it here. It did not disappoint. When I stop by to try something new, I always, always have to get a slice of Lussuria. Others I've tried have been the Meatball, Piccante and Mangia.

It is not fine dining but fast and casual. Perfect for a summer night with friends or family. Both times I visited from Chicago. I have never been to Italy, but I am fairly well traveled and have had my fair share of quality pizza. Gelati and Peccati offer a wide variety and great quality pizza. The ingredients are fresh, the employees are fresher and serve people well. While the place isn't always the most clean on the outside, they keep the inside pretty clean. I have left it at four stars because the gluten free pizza was not very good but I am pretty picky with my five star reviews. What more is there to say? If you're looking for some of the best pizza I've tried in the USA, this is the place for you. 8/8 would recommend to my mates.

I liked how many varieties were available to mix and match, especially since this was my first time trying this brand. There are also plenty of gift sets, choco spreads and what appeared to be a fudge/brittles case in this section as well. The bacio di dama, panna cotta, and tiramisu flavors were my favorite. All were super creamy, and had distinct layers of rich flavor. In the case of the tiramisu, the espresso and marscapone notes really shone through, culminating in a very well composed chocolate treat. Hats off again to the good service - I was offered additional samples during my visit, and while I declined, this generosity truly added to the experience and is a favorable note that will linger in my memory of this first Venchi experience.

I've been to other Venchi locations before, so I knew what to expect -- and like all of them, it delivered. The space is glamorous inside: bright colors and what feels like a million displays of fake ice cream everywhere. But what really made the experience was the guy working the front -- an Italian gentleman with an accent who brought so much authenticity to the whole thing. He was nice, accommodating, super efficient (making cones in between taking orders), and genuinely friendly. Now onto the gelato. My husband usually gets the dark chocolate, which is always a winner. We've had the pistachio before too -- rich, slightly sweet, and earthy. This time I tried the white coffee, which was nutty, sweet, and herbaceous with virtually no bitterness. We also got the coffee crunch: sweet, buttery, with slightly bitter espresso or mocha notes, layered with a satisfying, brittle crunch. The coffee bits weren't overpowering and were small enough to chew easily. And of course, we love getting the waffles coated in chocolate and sprinkles. Highly recommend if you're at UTC and want a little taste of Italy.

There was hardly anyone in line when we walked in, but by the time we got our gelato and turned around, the line was out the door! I travel to Italy regularly for work, so I've had my fair share of authentic gelato. I have to say, the quality and flavors here were outstanding. Rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the staff. One of the employees was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the gelato. He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. It felt like talking with a wine sommelier--someone who truly understood flavor and wanted us to find the perfect match. You could tell he genuinely loved his job, and that enthusiasm made the whole experience even more memorable.

The shop itself is casual, with just a few seats inside and several tables outside. It's a great stop whether you're on a date, out with friends, or enjoying a family night in Little Italy.

One thing that always makes me smile is that the gelato is stored in the classic stainless steel cylinder containers instead of being piled high in display cases.

I love stopping by for a sample before picking the flavor of the week. My kids are the adventurous ones, trying something new flavors every time (this week's winner: watermelon ).
