Dolce in Waikiki... Since I was in Waikiki which is quite rare these days I wanted to explore some local biz just right outside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and had a great time exploring around. As the afternoon heat gets intense I just couldn't pass on this tiny kiosk just outside of the shopping center. Gazing in the display case filled with various flavors the color explosion along with matching fruit to intensify the visual aspect was quite intense along with various flavors including a reduced sugar chocolate sorbet and reduced sugar free strawberry sorbet which I was thinking of getting but after much thought it was the "Lilikoi Sorbet" since I do love Lilikoi and gosh I regret that and not trying a sample of it...it was SWEET just a hint of Lilikoi as it was stunning with bits of seeds in it I couldn't get pass the sweetness of it and at $6.50 for a small single flavor I was sad. They do have a priced friendly $4 scoop flavor of the day which was the reduced sugar free strawberry sorbet my first choice...but they do have some fun toppings that got me tempted but a cute spot with friendly service that you shouldn't be afraid to ask for a sample. Thank you! read more

I LOVE their ice cream. And they are the ONLY place that has Ferrero Rocher flavor, since I love any kind of chocolate flavors. The ice cream was super good; I like that they change flavors every time so I always get to try new flavors. The ambience is family friendly and nice. The staff were kind and helpful and gave good customer service. I love that they have a Nutella drizzle and compliments the ice cream very nicely. read more

Icecream was so GOOD! So delicious. Our young girl helping us was very kind and let us try a few samples read more

Stumbled upon this walking down the street and saw they had coconut gelato so had to try. It was good and a small scoop was about $6. Probably a realistic portion size. They top it off with a waffle like cookie. read more

Gelatissimo Waikiki - I have a sweet tooth and this helped satisfy it! - Gelato Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I always walk by the kiosk and I've never gotten gelato but really made an effort this time I was in town. It's actually a chain and I think most of the flavors are actually available at a lot of different locations, but I did end up getting the mango yogurt and the chocolate covered strawberry. My favorite was mango yogurt. They let you get two flavors with the scoop and I would say the prices are average for gelato. read more

Good but not great gelati, prices are what you'd expect at Gelatissimo Waikiki. There were a couple nice kids working the in-the-rush-of-traffic kiosk: they were friendly and seemed genuinely delighted at a $5 tip. Surprisingly (but not that big of a deal), there was a hair well integrated into the bottom scoop of my two-scoop - I didn't mention it to my wife, who would have had a heart attack, even though she wasn't eating any of it. Lots of nice places to sit around - a good pause when your wife just has to stop in at Saint Laurent. read more

Gelatissimo Waikiki - The kiosk is in focus; the gelato was about to disappear! - Gelato Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Friendly customer service from solo worker that offered samples. I tried the following samples: Yuzu with Passion Fruit Sorbet was too sweet and similar to sucking on hard candy for my palate. I changed my mind about ordering this flavor. Pumpkin Pie executed a lighter taste with hints of pumpkin. All gelatos tasted much heavier and creamy very similar to ice cream. Salted Caramel Dulce De Leche was the best match in terms of flavor. Ube tasted similar to consuming lavender ice cream. Not what I expected. Cons: Definitely need a larger size cup to fit three scoops. Each scoop is on the larger side. Very disappointed that gelatos immediately dripped like crazy on both sides when it arrived in my hands. I had to eat half of three gelato flavors before it stopped melting over the rim. Kiosk position outside Royal Hawaiian Center on sidewalk next to Building A and sun striking in that direction didn't help. read more

Gelatissimo Waikiki - Ube, Salted Caramel Dulce De Leche, Pumpkin Pie - Gelato Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Delicious gelato, hot fudge or Nutella topping as an option, great customer service and easy to find!

Stopped here for their happy hour special! $4 scoop and I got the reduced sugar chocolate in a chocolate dipped cone. It was so good! Very rich chocolate, can't even tell it was reduced sugar - not only that but it's vegan friendly and halal certified. This was recommended by the staff that was working and we were really happy with the choice. We didn't get a wafer but hopefully next time! read more

I was excited to find this place but was disappointed to find out they do not have pistachio or hazelnut. I ended up getting Toasted marshmallow. But it was just ok at best. The place is nice. My husband's Oreo gelato was just ok as well. read more

Upset with this spot. Few days ago I went by during Happy Hour 12-2 and was told sign wasn't out because it was raining so they were not honoring happy Hour. Today I went and the excuse was it was Spring break. What does that mean? read more

This kiosk location is conveniently located on the strip, in a small kiosk, on Kalakaua, right in front of Tiffany & Co. I always wondered how they get all the gelato out here but I'm assuming they make it off site and transport it here early morning before the kiosk opens. The space is relatively clean and well kept. They provide samples that allow for you to try out the flavors before purchasing. There was 1 guy and 1 girl working at the time that we went and they were very patient with our indecisiveness. As for the flavors itself, they weren't as strong as I had wanted them to be. And the sizes are rather small, so it left me wanting more in the long run, which accounts for the rating that I provided. If the flavors packed a bigger punch and the serving cups were a little bigger, then I would reconsider coming here time and time again for an afternoon treat. To each their own! read more

Great gelato! Love the flavors! Location was only a block from us. It's a little stand up shop fyi. We went after dinner and surprised there was no line. I always see a line during the day in the past. There were soooooo many flavors to choose from. They had- ube, salted macademia & dulce, hazelnut. Pistachio, piña colada (seasonal), wicked brownie, lime, coconut, guava, cookies and cram, strawberry and more! I narrowed it down to the salted macademia and dulce, and hazelnut. They let us sample the flavors but those two I liked the most. The salted macademia wasn't overly sweet but it did have the caramel or leche swirls in there. I did taste a bit if macademia but needed more!! Hazelnut for me is always a classic! Service was quick. Staff were friendly. Reasonable pricing. Will come again. read more

Went to visit Gelatissimo on their grand opening day. I've seen the sign outside Royal Hawaiian Center for a while and really wanted to check it out after seeing the really slick logo. The workers were really cool despite the crazy crowd. The worker that helped me, Dom, was literally so sweet and was so patient with all my questions and gave me the best recommendations. I asked to sample every. single. flavor. and here were my thoughts: Salted Macadamia w/ Dulce de Leche was pretty sweet with a strong caramel taste. It's on the richer side, and the worker said it won the best gelato award in 2022, which I thought was super impressive! I ended up getting this flavor for my cone. NY cheesecake - one of the workers said this was his favorite and I have to agree that I really enjoyed it. It was tart and kinda of tasted like a plain frozen yogurt with a rich cream cheese taste, speckled with crunchy cookie bites and pieces of cheesecake. pistachio - super pistachio-y kinds tasted like haagen dazs cookies & cream - very light. If i had my eyes closed I wouldn't know what flavor I was eating ahaha Lemon - i'm not usually a fan of any lemon-flavored desserts but this one was really refreshing and tasted like a lemonade in sorbet form Ube - actually tasted like ube with some fruity notes, which took me by surprise Chocolate - SO chocolatey and decadent Boysenberry Swirl - tasted like a jam, or like a mellow sour patch kids haha Cookie Dough - had a caramel-y taste with cookie dough pieces tossed into it Wicked Brownie - I think this was one of their deluxe flavors and I can see why - it was SO chcocolatey and straight up tasted like a bakery brownie turned into gelato haha Cotton Candy - I usually hate cotton candy flavor but this one was actually so good! it kind of tasted like white chocolate with sprinkles Lilikoi - tart & sweet and I loved the crunchy lilikoi seeds Strawberry - a light strawberry sorbet, tart & sweet Mango - The worker and I agreed that this one tasted like the Trader Joe's dried mango haha Coconut - super coconutty it's like the dried coconut strips, but not so strong that it tastes like sunscreen, if that makes sense LOL Dragonfruit & Lychee - lychee flavor strong and light like a lychee juice Guava - didn't taste like guava but it's good haha it almost reminded me more of a fig? Piña colada- stronger coconut flavor but creamier than coconut one read more

Gelatissimo Waikiki - a hand holding a cone of gelato - Gelato Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A new gelato spot opened up in Waikiki! It's part of Royal Hawaiian center and it's located on the street side of the shopping center, outside of Tiffany & Co. They also validate your parking for the Royal Hawaiian center if you spend $10 or more on a single transaction. They have a pretty good selection and you can sample before you buy. I'm usually someone who orders the smallest size, but it was pretty tiny here! I ordered a regular size and it seemed more worth the money. I sampled the guava gelato and it was okay - more sweet than anything. I think it would be better as a sorbet. I did get the strawberry and the mango sorbet. The strawberry was pretty good but nothing too special. The mango was SO good though - it had the legit mango flavor. My friend liked the cinnamon flavor they had today. I would definitely come again if I'm in the area. read more

4.5 Came here after lunch on Friday because we had the coupon book for bogo scoops lol. This place is like a little shack on the sidewalk in front of the royal hawaiin center. We tried a few flavors but we ended up getting pina colada and mango cheesecake. The portions were goood, it came in the medium cup size (pretty small lol) but it was overflowed on top alot which was great. Both flavors were really good too, really refreshing especially in the hot weather. I cant say the mango cheesecake tasted realllly mangoey but it was still good. Overall this is one of the better gelato places imo. It came out to 6$ even with the coupon which is a bit pricey but normal ig, but the gelato was good and alot better compared to other places. read more

My Strawberry Gelato was so delicious! The worker was very welcoming and offered samples of the flavors. I will likely be back for more :) read more

Bomb! I love the lemon sorbet and the choco w honeycomb! Ive gone twice since i got here!

If you're cruising in Waikiki and looking for a quick, sweet treat, head to Gelatissimo on Kalakaua Avenue, right in front of Tiffany & Co. Gelatissimo has at least 18 flavors daily! I really liked the Lilikoi - the flavor was tart and refreshing. I paired it with the very berry cheesecake, which was a good combo (it tasted like a Lilikoi cheesecake). You can order one, two, or three scoops, and you can add a waffle cone for just $1 more. They also have a handful of toppings, such as hot fudge or Nutella. read more

The service was great as they gave samples and they were fine with as many as we wanted, but the actual flavor and texture was sort of lacking. It was served really really cold, which I would assume is because it melts on a hot summer day, but it was more I see the creamy, and the flavors are just too subtle, and I was expecting something more rich. read more

I stopped by Gelatissimo on a whim and was blown away--not just by the incredible gelato, but by the amazing customer service I received from Tina. I was having a hard time deciding, and she patiently walked me through the flavors. She recommended the Mango Sticky Rice dessert and i'm glad she did. Tina made the experience a 10/10. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what Gelatissimo offers. Will definitely be back. read more

Had the vanilla bean and mango sticky rice when i was there last Friday on vacation ! Loved both flavors so much; Tina and Frank both recommended the flavors and I was pleased by going with them. Tina had such a welcoming energy to her while i was at the stand and made the experience that much better. Would definitely recommend anyone visiting the area. P.S. also loved the music being played, such a fan of the kpop that was being played. read more

I had the mango sticky rice--absolutely a 9/10. Tina, the girl working the stand, recommended it to me. She was such a sweetheart and super helpful. Frank was also really knowledgeable about the different flavors. The mango sticky rice was a fantastic suggestion! Great stand overall. As a Thai native, I'd definitely come back again just for that mango sticky rice. read more

Expensive, but hey you're in Waikiki and it's right on the strip so, super accessible. It's also doesn't close super early so that was super helpful. We enjoyed the fruity flavors so much, especially dragonfruit! read more

The best gelato in Waikiki!!! Service varies: one day I had an amazing server and yesterday someone who was clearly upset they had to work haha but everyone has their days. Nothing beats their gelato so it's so worth it. The guava, pina colada and salted caramel were my favorites. It's in a very convenient location. read more

Loved it. I wish they had more locations . The flavors are so good and different. I went there 4 times on my trip to Waikiki.

1 star for convenience and late night hours. IF U KNOW YOUR ICE CREAM & KNOW WHAT GELATO REALLT TASTE LIKE THEN DON'T COME HERE! Not creamy at all and flavors taste very processed and have That preservative taste. Go to the international market place (across from Kona coffee purveyors! or duke lane for a better Gelato. read more

Honestly searched high and low for this little kiosk in Waikiki! I couldn't find it the first time I tried but I blame the crowd and it was later in the evening. My first time having this gelato was in Australia where I either had Gelatissimo or Messina every day. This brings back so many memories! It was deliciously creamy and light and I can't wait to be back in Waikiki for more. read more

It's always a lovely day when there's gelato involved! Don't you agree? If you're a gelato lover, there's a new kid in town! * Located in the heart of Waikiki, a scrumptious kiosk on the sidewalk fronting the Tiffany store at the Royal Hawaiian Center. This is Gelatissimo! * Gelatissimo is a budding business from Australia with just TWO locations in the U.S. We're so very lucky to have them in Hawaii! While they may not be a local company, they do source their ingredients locally and make their gelato on premise here at the Royal Hawaiian Center. * They offer a wide range of flavors from chocolate, to mango, guava, lilikoi, to cotton candy, boysenberry swirl, even drool worthy scoops like: SALTED MACADAMIA NUT & DULCE DELECHE, WICKED DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE, and CHUNKY NEW YORK CHEESECAKE. * I love the fact that they support our local community by using seasonal local ingredients. Gelato can't get any better than that! Go show them some ALOHA, their gelato is fantastic. Creamy, not too sweet, and totally enjoyable. Especially on a hot day in Hawaii! * I enjoyed a cup of: cotton candy, boysenberry swirl, and chocolate. Definitely was NOT disappointed. SO ONO. What flavor do you want to try? read more

The worker was amazing! They gave free samples, gave my full daughter a chocolate strawberry, and helped me pick the flavor I want. This leads to how many good flavors there are. Way more than 90% of gelato places in Hawaii because most gelato places have generic flavors. This place has a wide variety of flavors. Get Cheesecake it's the best. read more
