SF Symphony celebrated Elim Chan's debut last night. They had a block party afterwards. This is fantastic. 2000 exited into the party and one of the booths featured Fiorello's gelato. Wow, this gelato was the best I've had in a long time. I can't wait to eat it again. I had vanilla, green tea, and raspberry sorbet. I can't wait to go find it in Molli Stones or do a special run to San Rafael and load up the car. The flavor and texture is fantastic. (Noticed i use that word twice!). read more

Excellent gelato and sorbet. Amazing variety. Fantastic service. My husband loved a competitor's vanilla gelato, but when it was unavailable, I brought home Fiorello's vanilla bean from the market. My husband was hooked. We googled Fiorello and paid them a visit. I love that there are amazing dairy free flavors. No deprivation in the dairy free department. The texture of their gelatos and sorbets is so satisfying. I feel as if I'm back in Venice. (They are in the canal, but it's not quite the same.) We stock up for ourselves and hand out a few to neighbors and friends in place of wine now that more people are not drinking. Cheers! read more

Fiorello's Tony Spumoni has to be the best gelato I have ever tasted outside of Italy. It is similar to a gelato that a company in San Francisco used to make, Coppa Mista. If you want three tastes in one, Chocoate, Almond and Pistachio this is it. It's not sold for some reason in many markets but when I see it I buy up every pint. It's just the best. Bella Figura! read more

We first had this gelato at one of our favorite restaurants. I asked the owner what brand the gelato was that he serves and the name. I googled it and the rest is magical history. The selection is amazing! We bought 7 pints on our first visit. Will definitely go back for more flavors. Bestest quality ever. A must try. read more

The absolute bomb gelato and sorbet!!! We love it so much we literally restock every week like clockwork! Great product and service!

During a pandemic, one needs to stock up on necessities like Italian ice cream aka gelato, and Fiorello's Artisan Gelato is the best! These are one of those local hidden gems you don't want anyone to know about, but sharing is caring. You can order takeout or delivery via Yelp. They're located near Foodles for those who know the area on Kerner Blvd. Not open on weekends btw. I was so lucky to have met the one and only Tony Fiorello; he's the GOAT (greatest of all time) Italian ice cream inventor. He's truly a genious and loves making people happy with his delicious flavors. The list of flavors is endless i.e., caramel with sea salt, Valhrona chocolate, cookies & cream, Dulche de Leche, caramel, green tea, Kahlua Dutch Almond, French Vanilla bean, Tony Spumoni, mint chip, Knob Creek butter pecan, peanut butter burst, rum raisin, tiramisu, pistachio, etc. We've tried almost all of them; they also make delectable sorbet. Can't go wrong with Fiorello's, never disappoints. Our back freezer is stocked with pints of gelato. They sell batches of 6 cups (one flavor per batch). You can find them at local grocery stores, gas stations, MVFF, catering events, etc. It's a nice surprise when I find them at random small theaters and unique stores around the Bay Area. Tony has a passion for making the finest gelato in the world, and he's been doing a spectacular job since 1982! Aren't we lucky to have Fiorello's in our own backyard, not really a question. =) 'Til we meet again ~ Grazie & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

The best in Marin wow what a gelato service is best they tucked away in canal district once you try you be hooked

We booked Fiorello's to provide Gelato for our wedding in September 2022 at Marin Art and Garden Center. Tony and Nancy were incredibly easy to communicate with in the months leading up to the event. We had a few flavors in mind that we wanted to try at our tasting before the event, and Nancy brought out a few extras that she thought we might enjoy as well. All the flavors were great in different ways, but we eventually settled on Blood Orange Sorbet (vegan), Black Cherry Chip, Tony's Spumoni, Triple Fudge Brownie, Salted Butterscotch, and Espresso. The gelato was a huge hit with our guests! read more

I have read a Yelp review a few weeks ago. And that was the es unlearned about this place the first time. So we have a gelato factory in San Rafael!? The city and her endless offering for foodies never stop to amaze me. So I drove by a couple of times never had the chance to stop but today. It looked closed from the outside, but another driver picked up what looked like a restaurant order. So I went and asked if they are open and the lady at the doors said yes do you already know what you want? And lucky me, I did. Cause you have to know this is not a typical ice cream parlor it's not that you see a selection of iceboxes like in a normal ice cream store. So the best is to go online and explore their available flavors before you approach them. And there is a lot! As it appears (I can be wrong) they only sell pints or bigger. A pint on this day 08/14/2020 is $8 which is not cheap but it's also not To expansive for fresh-made gelato. When I have ordered my flavors which have been white chocolate gelato with raspberry sorbet swirls and hazelnut/chocolate she offered me a scoop while I'll wait. I choose a strawberry lemonade sorbet which was fresh and refreshing. I got my pints and paid. All in all a different experience but that's how you get it directly from the manufacturers! At home, I'll have To have a spoon of both. But first, they come in reusable containers and what I love is that they put a small sheet of plastic over the actual ice-cream before they put on the lid. That's alone beside the container showed me they know what they doing. And out of the two, the white raspberry had to be my favorite. Soooo good. But don't get me wrong the hazelnut-choc was good as well. Go discover this hidden germ! They also make ice cream tarts so go explore the flavors and offerings on their website and save your next COVID block party with fresh Ice cream. read more

This gelato company is a true gem. Their facility is right in my backyard, you can't get anymore local than that. This location is not a storefront, but they are open every Friday for pick up orders. Their pint size gelato is sold at a number of grocery stores including Whole Food. They're also sold at Beacon gas station on Bellam Blvd in San Rafael where they have sample sizes. Tony Spinoni is a favorite in our household. I've also had their mint chip, cookies & cream, pistachio, and pumpkin. All of them are delicious. Well worth the price. This is the best gelato ever! read more

Whoa whoa we enjoyed their vanilla bean (assuming ice cream but now realizing it was gelato) at another local restaurant in Yountville.Chef has a penchant for fabulous deserts and serves their gelato in his restaurant and based on the flavor and texture this is our new favorite spot! Off to San Rafael we go read more

What to do when it's the owner of your company's birthday and he wants ice cream - well this place is find in every possible way. It took me a little bit to find it as it's in an industrial complex. The Yelp sticker on the door helped. I was greeted a very friendly employee (didn't get her name unfortunately) and she went through all the flavors. I was able to try the hazelnut chocolate that was so good I added it to my order. I learned that most people call in their order so it's ready when they arrive- so will do that in the future. I started this awhile ago before our shelter in place order. Now I cannot wait to have this again after we open the state up enough to get ice cream. Hey I have my mask and gloves handy like most people at this point. The owner of our company was thrilled and our marketing person posted a few photos on Instagram. Hopefully I will be back with my coworkers soon so I can order more for us all to enjoy. Until then stay safe and well. read more

I have found you! I love your flavors, fig balsamic is the best. Since we have been in the home stay, I did not know where to find your product. Your brand does not show up on the feed of groceries in the local markets. Now I know you have an retail outlet, I'll be there. YOUR FLAVORS ARE THE BEST! read more

Always the BEST in frozen gelato pies and cakes! Many flavors to choose from, friendly people and just an all around great place for desserts. Their gelato is also available in local supermarkets and every taste of ebery flavor flavor is like a trip to Italy. read more

Via my ever-loving son, I get Fiorello's on request. Chocolate Gelato. What's not to like? My childhood all over again. O Sole Mio Pizza on Chestnut Street in the 1950s had a "homemade" chocolate gelato SO CLOSE to Fiorello's 's. SO GOOOOD read more

The best gelato outside Italy, everybody loves spumoni ( that's the key of good artisan gelato). From the lady that takes the order on the phone, to the drivers like Matt ( beyond pro) to the new driver Kevin are very professional. I love to help small businesses like them. read more

Simply the tastiest fresh-made gelato I ever taste here in SF Bay Aera. I am a HUGE Ice cream fan, and I can tell you that this thing is far above any others average ice cream products you can find on grocery stores shelves. Their prices might be a little bit higher but that's nothing compared to the difference of quality. THIS IS A REAL ARTISAN, no doubt! I HIGHLY recommend! read more

The Gelato here is amazing.. gotta try it, oh and get the gallon because a pint isn't enough .

Old Kentucky Butter Pecan Pistachio Pumpkin Cookies & Cream Best. Gelato. Ever. I couldn't choose my favorite so I'm glad I was with family who didn't mind sharing. :) read more

I'm in love with their pistachio gelato!!! Please tell me where I can get them in gallons ：）saw their website that they carry gelato cake too. I cannot wait to make a trip to stock up & try other flavors read more

Fiorello's Artisan Gelato- artisanal gelato, now in your grocer's freezer. Fiorello's is a staple of the North Bay. You can find them at Napa's Browns Valley Market, the Cameo Cinema&a pizzeria in St. Helena, the Sonoma Cheese Factory once scooped it up. Fiorello's is at their best when they do their wine, champagne&bourbon flavors. Their white peach champagne is particularly celebratory. Bubbly, without it going to one's head. They also make an excellent pistachio spumoni. Spumoni is the lesser-known Italian ice cream. Fiorello's is also partnered with this new Napa Valley ice cream company- https://rethinkicecream.us With stunning flavors like turmeric ginger&cardamom pistachio. Their pints cost about $5, and can be found in higher end groceries, like Browns Valley&Whole Foods. Luxurious, artisanal gelato at a reasonable price. The art is in the scoop. read more

We had Fiorello's serve their gelato at our wedding and cannot say enough great things about them! From start to finish, Tony and Nancy have been great to work with. They made the whole process fun from the tastings to the serving. Everyone can't stop talking about how great every single flavor was and how much fun it was to have at a wedding. Hands down some of the best gelato we've ever had! We can't wait buy pints in the grocery store to reminisce about our wedding in the future. Thank you Nancy and Tony for making our wedding that much better! read more

Ate at their food truck. They were super friendly, accommodating and the ice cream was delightful to my taste buds.

Go ahead I dare you. Try to find another Yelp reviewed business that has 100% Five Star ratings. I've tasted (so far) 5 Fiorellos flavors. Both gelato and sorbets. While the sorbets are crystal clear & clean tasting (in other words perfect), I prefer the decadent gelato. When I'm in a particularly Italian mood, (it comes with the built in DNA) I go for a big scoop of Tony's Spumoni. Qualifier: Now understand I've had better gelato in Italy. Those were hand made in family owned one-tiny-shop-only places where the family owns the goats and cows that produce the cream, grandma is making the custard on a 2 burner stove top, and the girls are serving the customers. So for a small factory in Nor Cal to make, package and regionally ship such outstanding gelato and sorbets, we must give thanks. All say Amen! Sold at my local supermarket for $5.79 / pint. Pricey. It's a treat. read more

Incredible. OK, it's true, I'm cheap. ;-)) So buying a pint of Fiorello's gelato for 8 bucks took some effort on my part. But, as the gal who sold it to me said, "It's worth every penny!" Price be damned. A couple months after my first dozen pints, I had to try more flavors, so I decided to drive from the east bay to San Rafael to pick them up. Everything about these gelatos and sorbettos is unbelievable, down to Tony and Nancy Fiorello, the amazing couple that have been creating it for almost 40 years. On my first visit to their san rafael headquarters/factory they were unbelievably kind to accommodate me without knowing how much I was buying -- (they were closed when I called but they waited till I arrived so I could buy it for the weekend) -- every flavor is better than the next -- AND, because of the density, (there's no air, like so much erzatz ice cream and gelato out there), and a pint weighs 19 ounces. Ultimately, for what you get, the price is ridiculously reasonable... Cheapskate that I am, I got 8 pints that day ;-) But screw the price: buy this! I think my favorite is the valrhona chocolate -- but, the stracciatella is fantastic -- mango is great, kahlua is fantastic, coconut almond chip....pistachio...on the sorbetto side, I loved the passionfruit -- but so far the blackberry cabernet is my favorite of the sorbettos. Can't wait for my next round of 8 pints! Thanks, Nancy and Tony, for being so accommodating and for sharing your gelato and sorbet masterpieces. The best! ;-)). read more

This is the best gelato in America. Ive never been to their store. They had this at a grocery store in Sonoma. Amazing. In Japantown can get them at Sophie's Crepe where they have amazing Asian flavors like black sesame and green tea. Went to Zanotti and was stoked they carried Fiorello but a bit disappointed they only carried 2 flavors (mango, mint chips). Anyways Fiorello is amazing. read more

Astoundingly good gelato, far above anything else in the grocery aisle. Love the high density consistency and fresh & exquisite flavor! It does cost 2x haagan dazs but its totally worth it. Tahitian vanilla is sooo good. We get ours at lunardi's read more

The Caramel Balsamic is revelatory. Sounds weird and is weird, but in the most amazing way. I'm so glad I tried it. I'm hooked.

Superior ingredients make for superior products. Wide selection. A bit pricey but worth it for an occasional splurge.

A friend brought some of their Tony Spumoni to a Friendsgiving party and it might be some of the best spumoni I've ever had. The texture was incredible and it wasn't too sweet. Can't wait to get more. read more

I am sorry to say this but i am very disappointed YES your ice cream taste very good a friend referd me to your product so I bought a pint then I looked at the nutritional facts and your ice cream had a 73% saturated fat per serving and you have 4 servings in one pint . I just feel that irresponsible and unhealthy I will no longer by your ice cream and shame on whole foods for carrying it read more

My friends and I came here from LA and found this shop randomly on Yelp and it was a wonderful experience. The owners were lovely and helped us pick amazing flavors and we scarfed them down pretty quick on the first night. The butter pecan was superb! read more

Salted Caramel is hard to find and incredibly addictive. Creamy, caramelly, not too sweet, and manages to have a dense almost chewy texture not unlike good caramel itself (I'm an aficionado). I try to limit myself to buying 3 pints at a time... The place with the best selection in West Berkeley is Country Cheese Market on San Pablo near Addison (right downstreet from the post office). They sell it fresh in cups/cones and then have a whole freezer full of pints, which is stocked with many of the harder to find flavors that they don't have at bigger places like Whole Paycheck and Berkeley Bowl. Plus, y'know support small businesses when you can and all that. It's the same price. I've also tried butter pecan, caramel balsamic, and tony spumoni. Liked them all but the salted caramel blows them all away. It's the best caramel/dulce ice cream in existence. read more

My family has been getting the Tony Spumoni ice cream cheesecake for probably over a decade and we highly recommend it. Nothing like it! We searched for "Gotta Have It" Tony Spumoni cake and thought that they went out of business and were so sad, but I think they've just morphed into Fiorello's Tony Spumoni. read more

Oh Fiorello's Gelato How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Actually, I will not be counting the ways as it may lead to me heading back into my car for a gelato run. My favorite (so far) is the chocolate hazelnut. The flavor is rich and velvety. The gelato melts in my mouth and completely coats the inside of my mouth. Neither the chocolate nor the hazelnut overpowers each other. Instead, they high five each other and let each other shine. You have not seen the last of me Fiorello! read more

Have you tried the Profiteroles at Left Bank? Back from Heaven, huh? Ever wonder what that amazing ice cream was? Well, it's Fiorello's, and it's gelato actually. Awhile back, a FWAG and I bribed one of the chef's at the Left Bank in Santana Row to hand over some to take home. Little did I know that she was going to give us a five gallon tub of the stuff (no, I paid for it, but wholesale)! So good! I hear their other flavors are wonderful, but I'm a purist. Their Vanilla Gelato is simply the best in the world (and yes, I have been to both Augusto Davide's "Gelateria David" and Nino Cioffi's "Bougainvillea" in Sorento). Really, this is it! The best!! I'll try to update this post with locations that serve Fiorello's. Phone's been busy... Hmmm, they are small. UPDATE: I'm told Fiorello's ice creams can be found in Tiburon at "Paradise Hamburgers and Ice Cream" and "Caffe Acri" (sorry, Yelpers don't seem to like this place). On the Peninsula, try "Tasty Treats" in the Crystal Springs Shopping Mall (Ralston Exit off 92). Apparently, you can buy it packed at "Victoria Pastry" on Stockton between Broadway and Vallejo, just a block away from Columbus. I'm on my way!! You can also find it around in Napa and Sonoma. French Laundry, want to regain your fifth star?? read more

Fantastic ice cream. Vanilla bean is amazing! So is the caramel. And the lemon sorbet is super tart, but also excellent. Yes, I had 3 ice creams. read more

OMG this is the most decadent gelatto ever. I have not been to their shop, but buy it by the pint at Whole Foods in Potrero Hill (for a whopping $7.75). Totally worth it. The Tony Spumoni is OUTRAGEOUSLY good. Almond, pistachio and chocolate. I just had half a pint for lunch, and felt compelled to jump back on the computer and Yelp about it. Now that I know they are in San Rafael, I'll have to check out their shop. Good for Wholefoods for finding this local gem!!! read more

I've been a big fan of Fiorello's Green Tea gelato since I tasted it first time at Sophie's Crepes. Back in 1999, Sophie's Crepes wouldn't display where their gelatos are from (now they do proudly!), so we had to beg to find out. I've tasted Green Tea, Kalua Dutch Almond, Knob Creek (Old Kentucky) Butter Pecan, Tony Spumoni, Nocciola (Hazelnut), Stracciatella, Cookies & Cream, Valrhona Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Pistachio, Caramel Balsamic, Valrhona Chocolate, Mint Chip, Black Sesame, Green Tea, Coffee, Vanilla and regular Chocolate. And I could hardly describe in words how creamy and decadent they are. I would have probably gained a few pounds from eating Fiorello's now and then, but I think it's all worth it. Now, I could find 6-8 flavors of Fiorello's gelato at the local United market in San Rafael, so I'm very happy to pick one or two pints up there. I think Sushi Ran in Sausalito serves Fiorello's Green Tea, so if you want to try it there first. read more

While this is not a retail store (though they are incredibly friendly and generous when you do stop by), they can help provide information on where they sell their gelato. This is the best gelato/ice cream available to take home! It is quite addicting once you have tasted it and you'll find yourself looking in all the small grocery stores hoping they carry it - and you'll be wishing they could overnight it to you in other parts of the state! Tony Spumoni is my favorite, though Old Kentucky Bourbon Butter Pecan is a close second! Delicious!! read more
