Prices are comparable to other small ice cream businesses. -soft serve: less creamy, more icicle-y than, say, Carvel. okay -hard ice cream: decent amount of air component so it's less dense/filling and melts faster. okay. I was quite disappointed they had no inside seating and basically no outside seating (except 2 benches in the sun) so our family had fo sit in a mound of stones behind our car but there were too many of mosquitos ao it was not enjoyable. read more

We always love coming here, especially when I'm with my husband and mother-in-law who are both diabetic. It's definitely a nice treat for them because they can eat sugar-free ice cream. We get to enjoy some dessert together without the guilt. It's a great place to come with your family. Service is always quick and attentive. Many times we sit and enjoy it right there because you can leave without enjoying the ambiance and delicious treat. read more

If you want delicious ice cream, then you're at the spot! Classic and staple of NNJ. I've been coming to Gelotti's since I was a young kid. It never disappoints! My latest obsession during this heat wave ~ mint chocolate chip(1st- on the bottom) and then Chocolate Fudge Crunch(2nd- on top). Service is always quick! They have a set system that isn't broken. My kids are a huge fan of Gelottis! This is a must if you're in NNJ read more

"And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am" A total "GELATO" junkie I can't drive past this 1984 Paterson establishment without stopping in. I have never seen the Real House Wives of New Jersey stop stop in on any of my visits. They have been featured on the show buying ice cream here. I need to point out that their products (32 flavors of Italian Ice, 33 of Ice Cream. 26 of Gelato and 8 of Yogurt are "NOT" nut, soy, wheat, egg or other allergen free. I'm fortunate not to have allergies. Well this time I stopped at 11:01am for my fix. They open at 11am and purchased a pint of Stracciatella, gelato. The pint cost $13. It is made with bourbon vanilla gelato with chocolate shavings. I hope that this pint will keep me satisfied for the day. As always, it was delicious. read more

There wasn't a line during this visit but even when there is they move relatively quick. The ice cream is delicious and the sprinkles to top it off bring me back to my childhood. Definitely recommend stopping by this ice cream spot if you're in the area. My kids love it as well. Sign up for their rewards! read more

It could be 2 degrees in the middle of the winter and I would still make the line at Gelottis for some good old ice cream! So this time around I got the coffee ice cream in a junior size (just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth) with some chocolate chips. TO DIE FOR. I usually get their coffee chip, which already has the chocolate chips in them, but they were out. Their Italian ice is also amazing! All the flavors are pretty good, but their strawberry and mango are must tries! read more

I've never been here but have heard plenty about it, so gave it a shot this Summer Sunday night. The place was pretty packed with a lot of family's but the line moved quickly. I got a vanilla chocolate soft serve and my family got sugar free vanilla chocolate chip and another soft serve. From a soft serve perspective, I thought it was very good and would go back for it, but it wasn't as excellent as it was talked up to be; however, the hard ice cream may live up to the hype from what I heard. One problem I did notice was the quantity I received differed significantly from another patrons. I got a medium and as my picture shows, it was certainly a hefty, good sized medium for the $5 it cost, and totally worth it. The customer next to me got a medium that barely toppled over the side of the cup and then asked to upgrade to a large. Now I do understand the kids working behind the counter are just doing the job the best they can and servers can vary with this but hopefully addressing it in this post allows management to teach their team how to have (somewhat) even portions. If I was that customer I would've been a bit disappointed. I'm hoping my constructive criticism helps out everyone else! read more

First time and it was amazing!! You can get all types, gelatos, ice cream, Italian ices, so good. The employee was super helpful and recommended items to me which I really appreciated. The mango ice was light and fruity (duh), BUT THE ICE CREAM. LET ME TELL YOU..it was just Perfection. I think it's called chocolate fudge crunch, the type of decadence I needed. It wasn't super hard, it was a little soft, which made eating it so easy! read more

Will go again - Gelotti has amazing homemade ice cream, Italian ice, and gelato. I visited them many times by now and, as always, they are amazing. I go here time and time and again for my sweet cravings. Usually, I always get the ice cream and Italian ice. My go to ice cream is cherry vanilla, while my go to Italian ice is green apple and pina colada. Depending on the flavor, their Italian ice has the actual fruit inside. Like any other ice cream, if you're ordering a flavor that is heavy, it will be sweet given the quality ingredients they use here. They have a quart size option for ~$8 and that is usually what I get. During their busy time, the line is very long but moves rather quickly as they have multiple workers serving their customers. the long line is not a bad thing as it represents how good Gelotti is. There are no seats inside but there are some spots outside that you can either stand or sit to enjoy your dessert. Although there are ample parking spots, during their busy times, it is quite filled. However, if you are patient, a spot opens up. read more

Hands down still the best ice cream Around even for vegans! The only drawback Is the area. I am 46 and have been coming here since I was a teen and sadly the area has gotten worse. It's not awful but I try to only go during the day . This spot is worth it. Their custom cakes are out of this world and the variety of flavors s insane! I get dizzy reading all of them! My favorite is the vegan peach . Omg it smells and tastes like fresh peaches that were frozen at their peak. The vegan banana is another winner.

We ended up getting mango gelato. The mango flavor was delicious and refreshing. It was light, creamy and perfectly sweet. The entire shop was packed by 8:30-9pm.

There's a reason that this place always has a line through the door. Their ice cream is delicious and they have so many different flavors. I've yet to get ice cream that completely mimics the gelato I've had in Italy, but this place is the closest I've come. The flavors they have remind me of being in Italy and they hand make everything using fresh ingredients. I'm also a huge fan of their ice cream cakes- the Nocciola/Bacio combination is incredible. read more

The portion sizes here are absolutely crazy large. I got a small wafer cone with cherry vanilla and hazelnut gelato and wow, the scoops were two massive, massive scoops. Would've been the equivalent of 4 scoops elsewhere. The hazelnut gelato was absolutely delicious; I loved it. The cherry vanilla was good but it just tasted sweet - I didn't taste the vanilla or the cherry (except the cherries themselves that tasted quite artificial and like they came out of a can). I would recommend coming here but would only get hazelnut and perhaps try a new flavor:) The lines are decent; I came on a Wednesday afternoon and there was a steady small line but it was just a few minutes of waiting. read more

Very impressive with its enormous space and wide variety of choices. They serve from gelato to soft serve to scoop-able (apple says that's not a word but today it is lol) ice creams. They have pre-packaged take home selections as well. It's a perfect stop during a hot summer day/evening. They have a few sitting areas that consist of blocks but the parking lot is very spacious that hanging by your car will do the trick too. Only downside I noticed was the lack of a restroom. Visiting after a day in the park with kids means dirty hands... would of been nice to wash up before and after their treat. Still great place to swing by. Thanks read more

It was bitter and did not catch on. People couldn't understand why the South American natives loved the stuff. It took about a hundred years until a group of friars added honey to the bitter liquid, making it sweeter and much tastier.

If you're not in the mood for a dog they have other stuff too, like Mac and cheese topped with pulled pork Doug, the owner, was a really nice guy also. Eric (from Cultinary Road Trip) and I planned to eat and get going, maybe a half hour stop at the max. I think we were there like 2 hours talking! Dogs we tried were: 1. all the way - chili, onion, mustard 2. the en fuego - hot pepper relish, hot onions, sriracha, red pepper flakes, mustard 3. Oregon Trail - baked beans, bacon, cheese, potato stix 4. Buff-Aloe - Franks Red Hot, blue cheese dressing, potato stix, celery seed 5. Vermont Bob - bacon, sauerkraut, maple syrup (had to get Quebec Eric some maple syrup...he was starting to shake haha) Video is out now, but these were all super tasty. Dawg house absolutely - Didn't Suck!

I'm loving Gelotti Ice Cream. They have wide selections of delicious ice cream. They have the best ice cream in town. That's the reason why I am addicted to Gelotti Ice Cream. Among my favorites are the chocolate chip mint that has chocolatey and minty flavor, cake batter ice cream and nutella gelato. You may also try their chocolate peanut butter ice cream and chocolate gelato. These two ice cream are delicious too. Money you squander for their ice cream is all worth it. You get what you pay for, which I like very much. The place is crowded but the atmosphere is nice. Their customer service is terrific. All the staff at Gelotti Ice Cream are friendly and accomodating. They treat their customers with highest respect all the time. This is the place to be if you love licking ice cream! read more

I love going to gelottis and I especially love what they have done -- the new place is amazing; however, I feel as though I have to express how discouraged I felt ordering the other day. They don't have signs on the walls that list flavors, and so we have to fish through everyone to look at everything that they have to offer, thus, making it chaotic not only for ourselves but for the workers. I believe if they had a sign that listed everything, perhaps, it'd be an easier system ( and more convenient -- for people on line and the workers) and I'd leave with another flavor besides the basic chocolate. read more

DAYUM! Incredible ice cream from an awesome little homemade ice cream shop. They have a HUUUGE selection of ice cream, Italian ice, and gelato flavors to choose from. Along with some unique and delicious flavors (banana oreo and red velvet cake, anyone?) they have killer toppings to match (fresh blueberries, cream cheese icing, cereal). It may be packed in there, but squeeze through for some great treats. The staff is friendly, hustles hard, and isn't cheap with the scoops or toppings! read more

I recently visited Gelotti for the second time, and once again, it did not disappoint! Despite being very busy, the lines moved quickly, thanks to the efficient staff. My strawberry milkshake was absolutely divine, and everyone in my group loved their gelato. There are countless flavors and items to choose from, so there's something for everyone. The quality and flavor of the treats are consistently excellent. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Love this place not only because it's close to home but always great service. The shakes and banana boats are amazing and since the remodel even better place due to the space inside now you don't feel like you're cramped up elbow to elbow with anyone else. Love it just got a milkshake a loved it as usual. Can't go wrong only thing missing would be more seating outside for the spring or summer seasons but hey they are still best in the city in my opinion. read more

The shake was more like a McFlurry or Blizzard rather than a shake. It still tasted great, but if you order a shake you should get a shake. A friend ordered fried Oreos and they were fantastic. I'd definitely get these again. My brother told me their fried Nutter Butters are even better. Service was average as were the prices. My experience wasn't bad enough to completely turn me away, but next time I'll have to try some other things on their menu.

So I told myself the next time I pass by I would definitely stop to try some. This was the day. Walked in to find one family seated at a table, enjoying their gelato.And then a girl and a guy behind the counter, they were both sitting but when I came in , the girl popped up immediately to help which look , I don't mind them sitting at all , I wouldn't want to be standing the entire time either. What I didn't love was that the boy looked like he could care less that there was a customer and continued to just play on his phone. The girl was really nice. I asked her to try the cheddar cheese flavor which I thought was incredibly wild to even have as an option.And i'm still confused how you can make gelato taste like cheddar cheese , but still be a dessert, it was good! I decided on marscapone and black sesame and had a seat to enjoy my Gelato. The Mars Capone was absolutely delicious.It was creamy, it was the right consistency.On the other hand I didn't love the black sesame.It didn't have a very strong flavor and I didn't like the crunchy whole black Sesame seeds. Usually when I get black sesame somewhere , the seeds are pretty much ground up. Before I left , I took a second look at the flavors and definitely have to go back to try some more of the unique ones. I'm actually pretty shocked that they only have 3.7 stars, I enjoyed the Gelato, hope it wasn't a fluke!

Cookie Monster, which is usually one of my favorites, wasn't great. It had a slightly bitter taste and way too much food coloring. It was extremely blue and stained everything, which wasn't ideal, especially with a little one whose favorite flovor is cookie monster.
