My family stopped in on a weeknight to indulge in gelato. Absolutely zero wait and friendly service. We selected smalls of tiramisu, birthday cake, and chocolate dirt. My husband seemed most excited by his chocolate dirt and it hit his crave. Our birthday cake and tiramisu were a bit subtle and underwhelming. I'll opt for another flavor next visit. Tiramisu is softer than ice cream and served at a bit warmer temp to keep it smooth. I'd describe it as a chillier version of pudding. Several flavors to choose from. Indoor and patio seating. We enjoyed having a seat on their indoor bench while enjoying our gelato. read more

Delicious Gelato on a Friday afternoon. I love the texture and creaminess of their items. Though it has a slight alcohol flavor which i didnt expecr. We ordered their chocolate cheesecake. My bf got the tiramisu. There are some sitting outside. And it is located next to CM chicken. read more

Excellent gelato!. Absolutely the best!!! Great , friendly service too I. A cute venue.

We visited Gelato Gilberto in Norton Commons to order crepes. It clearly says outside on their window they have crepes. When I asked about crepes,the worker had no idea what I was talking about. Consider getting a razor blade and scraping that word off. We punted and ordered salted caramel and stratciatella gelato. Delicious!!!! A decent outside seating experience. Maybe worth a stop if eating at Waldos Chicken or Karem's Grill and Pub. read more

Pre-lockdown review (my last one of these). Is this thing still on? I am really out of practice. Crazy how something that used to be such a central part of your life fades away. Wild. But this review isn't about my time on this platform*, it's about the last review I was set to write before the (literal) world changed. Apropos of me, it involved something sweet. I've written time and again how Norton Commons makes no sense to me. It still doesn't. It probably never will. But on an unseasonably warm Saturday in early winter (alas, the norm now), I found myself in NEED of something sweet. I found it at Gelato Gilberto. Despite the weather, my party was the only one in store. I thought that was odd but I wasn't about to complain about the lack of crowds in between me and gelato. As a former ice cream shop scooper (as a teen), I knew how to engage and not annoy the young lady behind the counter. Even without these protocols, though, I would have been received with smiles and grace. She was a real delight and added to my experience. She indulged my sample requests (I limit myself to two -- max), answered my questions and made small talk. Still a bit undecided, she took the initiative and suggested I go with the blood orange sorbet. I took her up on the suggestion and she was 100% right. The sorbet was crisp, bright, authentically fruity, and given to a color found in nature, rather one found in a lab. Every bite was enjoyable and none left an odd aftertaste. The sorbet was also surprisingly dense. It took me a while to get through my cup. Granted, I wanted to savor the flavor but the makeup of the sorbet lent itself to be appreciated, rather than rushed through. Had I known what the 2020s would bring, I would have made it a triple but, in hindsight, I can just be happy that it happened and hope that *this* closure really is just temporary and not another victim of my black widow tour of local businesses I frequented. And *that* closes out a series of reviews from 2009 to 2019... just a few years late. *But there's a story there. A long one. read more

Excellent as always. I had the strawberry sorbet when I saw the trailer at the Cresent Hill 4th of July Festival. Was very refreshing on a hot day. Owner and staff was friendly and helpful. The sorbet was very fresh and delicious! Highly recommended! read more

I really liked this place. I got a small key lime pie gelato. It was so good, but it had too lime zest in it. It had graham crackers or like pie crust on top that was really good. The cookies and cream flavor was delicious. I got a small and it was plenty for me. It was $3.50 for their smallest size so it wasn't bad. read more

Somehow we found ourselves driving through Norton Commons a couple weeks ago. I honestly have no idea how we ended up there, but suddenly my wife was buried in her phone and started giving me "turn left down this street", "go around this corner" and "no that that corner, THIS corner". After winding through several streets in the greater Norton Commons area we stopped in front of Gelato Gilberto. We got out of the car and she said "Follow me". What was I going to do? NOT follow her? I didn't make it 24 years by not following her, so in we go. This Saturday evening was pretty quiet as my wife dragged me in (ok, she didn't really drag me, but I was missing the James Bond marathon on TNT) for Gelato. Gelato Gilberto is a quaint little place that offers more than just Gelato. 24 flavors of Gelato, to be exact, in 3 different sizes and a waffle cone option. What's really cool about it is that you can mix/match flavors in your cone/waffle bowl. I had a medium bowl with a mix of Mango and Mixed Berries and it was a very good combination. The girl behind the counter was helpful in educating us what our options were (sizes) and to help answer our questions about the flavors and providing samples on an itty bitty spoon. Gelato Gilbert also offers Nutella crepes (which I REALLY need to make a return trip for) and a small section called Itty Bitty Italy where you can find a few items specific to Italy. It was a great experience for a frozen treat when we ended up somewhere we didn't expect. A treat not entirely unlike James Bond might have gotten, had not stayed home to watch his own marathon on TNT. read more

When the going gets tough, the tough go out for ice cream. Or gelato. On a hot August day, nothing sounds better than a refreshing cold treat. It had been years since I had gone to Gelato Gilberto. I had been to their location in Norton Commons, and I'm old enough to remember going to their original store. We pulled up in front of the gelateria and stepped right in. A smorgasbord of unique flavors greeted us, and I was pleased to learn that they are offering samples. After trying a few, I settled on one that I had sampled, their goat cheese and fig. Although sizes are generous here, I decided to go for a medium serving. With plenty of seating outside, we had no problem sitting in a socially-distanced manner to enjoy our gelato. I ate mine just slowly enough to avoid an ice cream headache and enjoyed every spoonful. If you're looking to beat the heat with something delicious and different in the quaint setting of Norton Commons, Gelato Gilberto is a cool spot to try! read more

Gelato Gilberto is an absolutely fantastic authentic Italian gelato shop in the heart of Norton Commons. A family run establishment, Gelato Gilberto has been a staple of the area for years. Their gelato is made from scratch in house using the finest local and imported ingredients. Their machines are special ordered from Italy. Their flavors are fun and rotate regularly. This gelato shop and cafe is truly one of a kind! read more

Love that we can get Gelato Gilberto in so many places! Great tasting gelato and always a smile. Saw them tonight at the Speed Museum Ball!

If you're looking for something different and love ice cream, go here. Just go you won't be disappointed! It's in a very unique part of town. It's very quiet and peaceful. They offer many flavors and they are ever changing so you could try new flavors often. Both types we tried were very creamy and flavorful. They do offer outdoor seating. I recommend sitting outside and enjoying it. It's a very relaxing experience. One of my new favorite ice cream spots ! read more

Over the hills & through the woods....just playing In the middle of Norton Commons is this little gem. If you enjoy gelato it's worth the drive. Their goat cheese & fig gelato is silky, sweet & slightly tangy. It was divine. It brought me back to my trip to Germany where I had gelato for the first time. They also have pastas, espresso, and other Italian items to purchase. È Delizioso read more

Take the deliciousness of a regular ice-cream cone, times it by a million, then sprinkle it with crushed-up unicorn horns. That's my review about the Italian gelato I had here. I love this place! It's perfectly located, has great flavours, is inexpensive. What else do you want? I had the birthday cake, blue sky, chocolate dirt. AMA-ZING! 2 small sized flavours will cost $7.29. You can also get 2 flavours in one cup. read more

New sweet spot off Frankfort ave & I'm hooked! I live down the road and have already tried 4-5 flavors and each one is amazing. The Pistachio has been my favorite! He has some crazy cool flavors he mixes together & the gelato itself is such great quality. Smooth, creamy, and yummy! The owner is always so nice & as are the employees we've encountered since they recently opened. Glad to see they have made there way from Norton Commons to Frankfort Ave for a 2nd spot! read more

This place was the best tasting ice cream I have had in a minute. The store is so nice and so are the workers. One of the workers named Julianne helped me decide which flavor to pick, she was so nice and sweet about it. I ended up getting chocolate dirt! It is chocolate on top of more chocolate and it was truly delicious. The establishment was pristine and cozy. Definitely a must for anyone who wants good gelato. read more

Had the orange cream sickle and tiramisu flavors both were overwhelmingly sweet. Also 9 dollars for two very small cups.

Cute little Gelato store in an adorable city with lots of shopping. There were a decent amount of flavors to choose from and they all sounded great. The cups they served the gelato in were super cute. I got Salted Caramel and the toffee, both of which were fantastic. My husband ordered a chocolate cherry which was good (mine were better ^^) The decor in the place was nice, clean and pinterest cute. My only complaint is that the person serving the gelato wasnt wearing gloves. read more

Just ok. Has a nice seating area inside. Served to us and was melting already. Good selection of flavors.

Absolutely delicious, fresh gelato. The last time I had gelato this good was in Brooklyn at a food cart outside a NYC Italian restaurant. The staff was kind enough to let us try a few samples, and we were very happy with what we ended up with. Not to be missed! read more

We walked from a local restaurant to this gelato shop. The shop is small and clean. The case had condensation so we were unable to see the Gelatos. However the staff member working the shop was very courteous and helped recommend a popular flavor "Birthday Cake." We went with her suggestion and shared a small Birthday Cake Gelato. The flavor was so delicious it was thick consistency with little pieces of sprinkles and actual cake in the mix. We thoroughly enjoyed it. There were some tables outside to sit and eat at on the sidewalk. We will be back. read more

Gelato Gilberto was set up at Worldfest this year and I couldn't help but give it a try. (Therefore I have not been inside the actual shop.) All I have to say is *chef kisses* MUA! So good! I have been to Italy so I know what legit gelato tastes like, and this my friends, is pretty damn legit. I went with the strawberry sorbetto and it was so fruity and delicious! It has such an authentic flavor, almost as if it was made from real fruit. They had a few other yummy looking flavors, and offer a good deal for the amount of gelato that you get. The girls working the stand were very friendly also! Just another reason why I need to visit their actual shop sometime! read more

My wife decided she still wanted to try the gelato on one of our trips near the Norton Commons area, and so a few weeks ago I begrudgingly agreed. The gelato was good, enough so for her to want to come back again the next week. I'm still a little bitter about the original trip that gave us a negative experience but I'll give credit for the gelato. read more

The gelato is comparable to what I had in Italy and they are always coming up with new flavors. A must visit if your in or near Norton Commons. They have also gone above and beyond to make customers feel safe during COVID-19. There is a walk-up window that allows for no direct contact and staff is always wearing masks/gloves. read more

My family is Italian and have traveled to Italy. Gilberto serves the real deal, made from scratch and delicious! I highly recommend the goat cheese and fig gelato. read more

Incredibly nice people with wonderful gelato flavors. Loved the chocolate hazelnut. Give it a try:)

Phenomenally delicious ice cream and great service! Nick O. was very kind and friendly to us and let me sample every single flavor and they were all delicious. He was very knowledgeable about the gelato and history and gave us a lot of interesting information about this place and other flavors. The gelato is the perfect texture and consistency. There are so many lovely delicious unique flavors, I'll definitely be coming back!​ read more

Actually it's quite good and no more expensive than a trip to some of our local ice cream shops. I had a peanut butter chocolate/salted caramel that was rich and filling. Service was very good and friendly. It's not a large place so seating is limited. However, on a warm day you can sit outside. read more

Was passing through Norton Commons today and the 97 degree heat called me to try this place Glad I did About 23 selection made it hard for me to just pick one, all looked and sounded great Picked the Italian Wedding Cake and was that a good choice Friendly prompt service in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon was also welcome I definitely recommend this place read more

Excellent selection. Service was prompt. The staff courteous. We had the strawberry and chocolate cheesecake gelatos, along with a pumpkin sugar cookie. Serving size was generous and really just right to satisfy everyone. We came after a stop in the park. Gelato Gilberto is right next to a few dinner places as well: a bar, Asian food, and Italian. Everything is walkable. Parking is easy. read more

THE CUSTOMERS: We had a total of two adults and two children that went to this restaurant on a weekday. THE LOCATION: The location is not exactly easy and somewhat deceiving because it's in a neighborhood. But once you arrive it is in a very nice location. FIRST IMPRESSION: Love the little neighborhood that it's in. It's in a small "sub-city" type neighborhood with quaint shops and such and all the stuff is very "high-end". I am middle class type person so I really didn't feel like I fit in but its one of those neighborhoods that has condo-type, very little yard, skinny house with high end materials where the houses run about $400k. THE SELECTION: Really good selection of Gelato. I had the Chocolate Strawberry (which should have been chocolate because I didn't taste any strawberry at all) and the wife had the "dirt and worms" to split with our little one. THE PRICE: The price came out to be $10.49 for two "larges" (the cup was very small but they overflowed the cup). THE FOOD: Very quick service. The Gelato was good. Tasted like Gelato. Nothing too special. THE FINAL "SCOOP": I think this place was very nice but I don't think I'll be going back unless a friend or someone else wanted to go. I thought the price was okay but I like some of the other "dessert" places better (e.g. Homemade IC&PK, Cold Stone Creamery, etc.). As I said I am regular guy with middle-class tendencies so I feel like this place was more of a yuppie ice-cream shop than anything. Not a bad place though just not for us. If you're curious, try it out...at least you know you'll get some Gelato. ______________ Reviewer-Type: This may help you on seeing whether or not my review will help you because if we have similar taste, then we may have similar opinions. I am not food yuppie by any means. I am regular guy loving regular food. Among my favorite places to eat are Jimmy Johns, Five Guys burger and fries & Moe's Southwest Grill. My family consist of my wife and two children so I try to find places that aren't too pricey but still offer good food. I don't mind trying new food at new places but hate when I have to review a bad place to eat. read more
