My friends and I wanted ice cream after our Ramen at Domu, so we walked next-door to this little gelato bar. there are a few seats inside, as well as outdoor seating to enjoy your gelato. The woman working behind the counter was very nice. She let me sample a gelato before I tried it. She also explained all of the different desserts they have from crêpes to tiramisu and the different flavored gelato. They have a huge assortment of flavors for gelato. They have one full side that is all fruity flavors, and the other side, which has everything from chocolate orange to almond. I got the almond and the pistachio gelato. This is honestly the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. It was so creamy! After I ordered, I realized that they also have espresso here! The next time I come, I am absolutely getting an affogato with the gelato! read more

The gelato didn't disappoint. Same as Firenze. I'll go there again while I'm here. Service was ok but gelato made up for their service

Cute spot in a strip mall. We got there towards the end of the evening. Some of the selections were near empty. Not everything was labeled. The server did answer any questions. Our gelato was good, but not spectacular. My wife had a small Boston cream. I got the Oreo. Definitely need to try this place again next time we are in Orlando. I'm thinking that since we were there late, we didn't have the best experience. read more

Still the beat tasting Gelato in Orlando. Pistachio and my other favorite/nut flavors have been consistently creamy and satisfying. Good sized serving. Service has been consistent without issues for all the years I've been. The white tables look dirty from stains we couldn't wipe off. read more

After enjoying a nice meal at DOMU, my friend and I spotted this gelato place a few doors down and decided to get some to enjoy. It's between DOMU and the former Chamberlains location, almost tucked in. Depending on the time of day you go, you can find parking but in terms of close proximity parking, that is all dependent on what time you go. (As the plaza has many businesses in there and you may compete with people for spots.) It's a small shop that offers various flavors of gelato and the gal behind the counter was nice to let us sample some flavors. I went with Hazelnut only and my friend chose something else. Prices were comparable to other gelato places I've been to, but they seemed little bit more fair compared to the place in Disney Springs. They have a few tables outside and we were fortunate to grab one to sit and enjoy our gelato. Consistency was pretty smooth and the flavor profile was balanced without being too sweet or lacking in the hazelnut flavor I chose. read more

Four stars for amazing service by the girl that was there all by herself on Sunday! We arrived and decided to try a couple of different flavors before we selected our final choices. She was very friendly and not bothered at all that we tried more than one flavor. She was very sweet to my daughter as well. I bought a bottle of water and she was very kind to accommodate me with ice. It was a very busy day and there were a lot of people coming in and out and she handled it very well. The restroom was also clean. If I am in the area again and want to gelato, I would definitely visit. I did see some people getting milkshakes and I would love to try one of those! read more

Service was quick, ordered a waffle cone with strawberry cheesecake, portion was huge and yum!

My favorite medium size 2 flavor combo is MINT and NUTELLA. There is NO better combination. (All views expressed on this review are solely the opinion of the consumer writing this excerpt.

WOW. This place is HIDDEN in a shopping center. The gelato was SO GOOD. The lady who helped us was very nice, let us sample so many of the options. I had the mango and it was out of this world. They also serve coffee and other desserts. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. read more

1000% this gelato is THE BEST outside of Italy that I have ever tasted. It felt as if my mouth traveled to a small cobblestone village in the middle of the Tuscan countryside...yep that good. This is the kind of gelato that will make you take a special trip to grab a bite of this delicious sweet treat. So worth every dime. I felt welcome in the space. We took our treats outside to sit at the tables and people watch as we savored each delectable bite. I felt as if I wanted to return the next day for another helping but I need to keep in mind my figure. However the next time I'm in town, I will be back. read more

I bookmarked this place some time ago and I finally had the chance to stop in. It's very close to Chrisitini's and there is plenty of parking. The shop is small and there are maybe 2 tables inside, but there are 5 or 6 tables outdoors and in the shad to enjoy your gelato. Prices are a bit above average, but it's gelato not ice cream and it's in a high rent area. There were about 24 flavors available on the day that I was there. Many of them were traditional flavors like chocolate, hazelnut, and pistachio, but there were some more unique ones as well. I opted for the lavender cream which I thought was very good. The flavor was on point and the quality was top notch. They had 3 types of cones and 3 different size cups to choose from. I will definitely be back with my child who I expect will love it. The only thing that was off putting was a strong smell of cleaner/disinfectant. I'm not sure if it was inside or just outside the shop, but it was strong in both locations and once I walked to the furthest outdoor table I could not smell it anymore. read more

Good portions, quick service, and super clean environment. Pretty pricey, but the product is good.

I am a fan of gelato and this is by far my favorite in Orlando! Staff is very firendly and their gelato is made fresh every day right there. It is not part of a large chain of restaurants, which I also love. My favorite flavors are pistachio and nocciola. I can't visit this place without having my gelato there and buying a gallon to take home! read more

Not what I expected at all. Will not be coming back. Poor quality. Flavorless ice cream tastes like water and sugar.

We do a month long ice cream crawl every year, and this is one of our regular stops. The flavors rotate but there's always a great variety of dessert and fruit flavors to meet everyone's tastes. The prices are reasonable for the quality and size of scoops. There is a covered patio area with seating if the weather is nice which is a good option. Staff is always friendly and happy to help. read more

Great service. Delicious flavors and they deliver too. Gelato heaven. My favorite flavor so far is sinfonia.

Nice little gelato shop if your craving something sweet after dinner. Great that I was able to sample some gelato before purchasing. I did order the chocolate hazelnut, since I do like the flavor of hazelnut and chocolate is an added bonus. Great amount of flavor that mixed well. Small place with limited tables inside, but they do have outside tables as well. Staff were okay, they overcharge and added another order, but they refunded. read more

Small little gelato shop with 3 indoor tables for 2, and more covered seating outdoors for 4. Service was fine.

Ok, not great. I had the pistachio and the wild berry flavors. The atmosphere is cute, but the gelato is way overpriced, and it's not that good, quite frankly. In a town that has lots of great options, this one fell flat. I am not certain why it has high reviews. One of the employees was randomly making screaming noises because she apparently didn't notice I was there, which os odd for a place with like three tables, and the other employee pointed me out and told her to stop because there are customers. She seemed to forget and did the same thing. It startled me both times. Not a good thing. read more

Gelato LaCarraia is a small but lovely gelato and sorbet shop in Dr Philips. The staff is always quick and friendly. The gelato is rich and not overly sweet, very delicious. Sorbet is packed full of flavor. It is usually open till 11pm so it is perfect for an after dinner treat. There are a couple tables inside, most of the seating is on the patio. Bring a date, bring the kids, stop off for yourself. The sorbet options also make it wonderful to take someone with allergens as it gives them actual options to choose from. read more

Great gelato!! They also have nondairy options. The ladies helping us were very friendly and patient while we made our decisions. The seating outside this evening was beautiful! We will come back. There is a unisex bathroom that was clean. We got the non dairy chocolate, pistachio, and coconut almond. read more

First let me say that the girls that are serving need more training in customer service. After one gal served her customer, she just walked away, just ignored me. She didn't help me even though the other gal was busy. Finally the busy gal helped me, but seemed flustered. Maybe that was just her personality, who knows. I was told by a local that's just how people in Florida are. Wow I thought Seattle was bad. Someone said it's because it's the south. I don't think so because in Texas, I had nothing but amazing customer service. Even more friendly people by the beaches of California. So to me....no excuse for not being at least friendly with a smile. That being said, all that wouldn't bother me if the gelato was to die for. Unfortunately it didn't hit the mark. I also picked up a few items from cooler. The macarons were sufficient, I've had better from Paris, Canada, and Seattle. But at least it helps the sweet tooth craving. My husband took one bite of this tiny pudding type of dish with Oreo crumbles. Then threw it away. He didn't care for it. We brought everything back to our hotel room. Only reason we drove here for Mother's Day was because of all the good reviews. I should've listened to my daughter, and checked out Gideon's bakery instead. read more

Found this hidden gem as I was searching for ice cream and Publix had closed at 10pm . LaCarraia was open until 11 pm. They have little tables outside we took our desserts to go . The flavors I tried were delicious definitely recommend. I did mine in a waffle cup the waffle was great and crispy ! I brought a dessert home from what I thought was a fridge but I guess it was a freezer the rice pudding was hard as a rock. The place is clean staff is great , oriental young lady didn't get her name was amazing wish she informed be about the rice pudding . Pros open till late , good flavors, great quality awesome staffed read more

Been here several times and it never disappoints! Decent prices for decent portions and large variety of flavors switched over time. Out of the many times visited, today was my 1st time trying the "Sinfonia." It has a hint of Orange flavor mixed with Chocolate Chips. The other flavor was the go-to "Stracciatella", or Italian Chocolate Chip. Yes, they are allowing samples at the moment and Customer Service is also pretty good b/c they dont make you feel loke they're rushing to get you out. *Highly recommended read more

On Saturday evening (9/23/23) at around 7pm I was excited to try the Italian Ice at this place as I've never had it before. Fist, I tried a tiny sample of the Raspberry Italian Ice. Then I asked for and paid for a large waffle cone of Raspberry Italian Ice. They gave me something different that was more tart, less creamy, and it apparently was the Raspberry Sorbet. I tried pointing it out to the two young ladies who were working there but they indicated it's what I asked for and ignored me to focus on new customers. The sample was delicious which is why I am annoyed enough that I didn't get what I sampled and asked for. read more

This place was yummy and the employee was very kind. With 4 sorbets to choose from this Vegan (me), was in heaven. My choice was the dark chocolate sorbet...yes, sorbet and it was epic for a dark chocolate lover like myself! read more

Didn't have the opportunity to try the product because I traveled over there at 10:20 pm since the website says it's open until 11. When I arrived the person was mopping the floor. When asked what time they normally close the person said "11:00". When asked what time they close today, the person said "right now". Don't post times on your website that aren't accurate, and don't allow your employees to spontaneously close shop when they feel like it. read more

It's not often that I find authentic gelato in the US. While I may not be a connoisseur, after visiting Florence and trying their gelato on a nearly daily basis, I feel like I at least have a better grasp on what gelato should taste like. It helps that La Carraia has one other location in Florence! The owner at La Carraia was so sweet and friendly! He explained his business and helped us pick flavors to try. My sister let him know that she had been to the location in Florence and it was actually her favorite gelato shop that she had tried while studying abroad for a semester. That definitely upped my expectations for this gelato - and I wasn't disappointed. I ended up ordering the coffee gelato without sampling, and to my surprise, it was the best choice. It felt like I was drinking a real coffee but in iced cream form. There were bits of coffee bean in it, too, which seemed to make it that much more authentic and fresh. I definitely could have come back again a couple times the weekend I spent in Orlando. Good thing I don't live close by, for the sake of my health and my wallet! read more

Located between Christini's restaurant what a great find. Yelp check in get you 15% off your ticket. I was impressed with the mango flavored gelato I got! It was a refreshing, creamy texture. They make all their gelatos in house. There were so many choices, I tasted a few to finally pick the mango. Dairy-free gelato options available as well. They also serve milk shakes, espresso, cappuccinos, macaroons and pudding that I will have to try next time. Service was excellent. There are indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

The ice cream was delicious and it was relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the cool temperature.

The flavors are not nearly as strong as what you usually get in gelato, or even regular ice cream. I got the Butter Pecan and Italian Cookie and it all just tasted like vanilla...and not a very good one. My husband got Baileys and Waffle Cone and both were bland. Don't go here if you really have a taste for real gelato. I would even take Cold Stone over them for regular ice cream. I threw away the rest. read more

This is a gelato shop that is franchise from Italy. The owner was very friendly and provided all the samples we desired. All their gelato is from Florence. As expected, the gelato is very tasty and served generously. It's in the Marketplace so there is plenty of parking to be had. read more
