    The amount of times I've driven across the river to get Golden Gelato is laughable at this point. They are always friendly and will let you try a couple samples. The flavors are great and love the new flavors weekly to sprinkle in with the staples. The texture is so smooth! My wife and I enjoy sitting at the window seat in the main shop, but plenty of extra seats in the space attached. I almost didn't want to review because I want to gate keep but this place is just amazing and I think everyone should try it.

    This is now my favorite ice cream/gelato in the city. I got two flavors, hazelnut and passionfruit cheesecake. I could have cried it was so good. I will be back; I LOVE hazelnut gelato and I can never find a simple hazelnut base gelato anywhere in the state. Now I can!!!!! Amazing showstopping gelato. Thank you, the staff were so nice!!!

    My son and his friends enjoy outings to Covington. After taking me out for a Mother's Day Brunch, we walked about a block away because he thought I would really enjoy the gelato at Golden Gelato. It was a quaint shop with all of these wonderful flavors. Truly, it's hard to decide. I sampled two flavors and got a medium-sized container with a scoop of Biscoff and a scoop of Pistachio. They are two of my favorites and they did not disappoint. The Biscoff gelato is smooth and creamy with a light cookie flavor. You get a bit of cinnamon and caramel, like the taste of a Biscoff cookie. Pistachio Gelato was delicious. The pistachio flavor is soft and real--not fake or too strong. It's simple, smooth, and a nice change if you're in the mood for something less sugary. There was an indoor seating area there, so we opted for that. I will definitely be back to try many of their other offerings.

    I adore this place! They come out with new flavors every week, so there's always something exciting to try. The staff is so friendly. You can enjoy your gelato outside or in their cozy annex room. The best is by far the biscoff flavor! Truly anything you get here is fantastic though.

    Absolutely delicious! Unique flavors that are bold. Friendly staff and plenty of seating in the room next door. I enjoyed my pistachio gelato and the comfy couch to sit on. I will definitely be back.

    I'm so glad this little gem is part of our community! The best gelato I've ever had! The shop has rotating weekly flavors which keeps it more exciting. The workers were super kind and let us sample different flavors. We sampled pistachios, hazelnut and stracciatella (chocolate chip). All were amazing but we ended up going home with a pint of the pistachios. The flavors are vibrant and the gelato is super creamy. They also sell pints at St. Francis Apizza in Hyde Park too.

    This place was recommended to me and did not disappoint. I got two flavors - Bacio (hazelnut) and the Espresso Chip, and both were delicious! I will definitely be going back! Also had great service - the person helping me was friendly!

    Easily some of the best gelato I've had -- fresh ingredients, rotating flavors, and perfect texture. The store may look humble on the outside, but this place is the real deal. Simple setup when you walk in with the fridge straight ahead. We were greeted warmly by the staff and they gave explanations for many of the flavors that were available. They genuinely seemed excited to share what they had to offer with us. We ordered the Fiore di latte, dark chocolate, berry cheesecake. Every flavor was a banger. Deep, rich, and creamy with strong flavor. You honestly probably couldn't go wrong with any of their flavors. Will definitely be back when we are craving gelato! Looking forward to the summer already.

    My daughter and I were in the mood for a delicious dessert on a beautiful day. We decided to try Golden Gelato and were very pleased with our choice! My daughter decided on the Biscoff and the blueberry mascarpone in the waffle cone (that is what drew us in the first place, the smell of the fresh cones being made...). The gelato was perfect, the flavors were so fresh and delicious. I asked if we could buy the cones to take home.... They're that good!! I ordered one scoop of the black cherry/chocolate cake flavor (forget the original name) and it was insanely delicious! We will be back to try the rotating flavors and they also have a super cute game room/sitting room that is connected called "the lounge" and there were nice sitting areas and games! Friendly staff and the prices were very reasonable! Thank you for the wonderful gelato and fun experience!!

    Best. Gelato. Ever. This is my go-to for any time I want some kind of frozen dessert. Their options always rotate and they include seasonal options. The one flavor they have every day is biscoff, which is great because it's my favorite. I've enjoyed the pistachio and stratachella flavors. They also include vegan options daily. Service is always excellent. It's a tiny place, but they have seating in the room next to theirs, as well as a couple of tables outside. Highly recommend.

    Getting the last of the pistachio gelato!

    Facciamo una passegiata nel Cov! Walk south on Madison and turn west on Pike. Golden Gelato. Two scoops -- stracciatella and pistachio -- boom! Transport to Bella Italia without the scary, improbable, but mysteriously operable physics of Italian vehicular traffic. This is good stuff. Buonissimo, as they say. Choose traditional Italian flavors (see above) or local ones like Bourbon Old Fashioned or Pumpkin Spice. (See photo.) The friendly gelataio invited our dogs inside and offered them an Italian version of a pup cup --Fior di Latte -- milk gelato. Lucky dogs. (Golden Gelato also makes dog treats, the proceeds of which are donated to a local rescue.) We sat outside (one bench and one cafe table available), watching the Covington traffic -- on foot, wheels, and rails -- go by. Un gustino della dolce vita!!

    It was just so,so. It just didn't do much for me. Service was good but the gelato was mediocre in my opinion.

    I would give this place 6 stars if I could. The owners treat you like family. The gelato is nothing short of exceptional
