Love ice cream / gelato? Take the time to go a block or two off the main strip to Italian Ice Cream. The shop is clean, and the staff is welcoming. I ordered a medium chocolate and cinnamon goat cheese. Each flavor was smooth and creamy, and the depth of flavor was nice. Definitely worth the extra steps. (They do have a parking lot if you're driving.) read more

Italian Ice Cream - so good - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

We stopped in based on an enthusiastic recommendation from another restaurant owner, and their gelato was delicious as well as reasonably priced, especially for an establishment in the tourist district of Niagara Falls. Service was friendly, prompt, and efficient. Free parking in back was most welcome given how hard it can be to find parking spaces on the street and the pricey pay lots nearby. The converted house is cozy, and the patio out front is a great place to savor cold treats on a balmy summer day! read more

This gelato--Soft, creamy and mind blowing delicious with many flavors to choose from. Best gelato I've ever tasted in the U. S., hands down! Friendly and generous in giving you as many sample tastings as you want....so, I sampled just about every flavor!! I was so excited at finding this little out of the way place, high upon a hill in Niagara city. The rich gelato tasted like high quality ice cream that I found it so difficult to decide which gelato I wanted. So, I ordered two large size gelatos with four flavors! Every flavor was so creamy and full of flavor that I wanted to go back and order a third double cone but the cones were so generous in size they totally filled me up and unfortunately, I couldn't eat the third gelato cone. This gelato ice cream reminded me of the great little gelato stalls/shops all over Italy. Definitely search out little place as you will never forget it and will want to return. I highly recommend this Italian Ice Cream (gelato) business made by an Italian family that has continued their many yrs old family tradition... read more

I've be coming here for about 9 years when I first discovered it. It was a freezing February weekend and there was a 2-for-1 Coupon in our Hotel Room. The owner had just finished catering a wedding so he had stocked the Gelato Freezer Displaywith one of the flavors he made for the wedding. Goat Cheese and Honey. He had me at "Goat Cheese and Honey". It was heaven in an ice cream bowl. So delicate and decadent. We frequent this place often. My friends enjoy their Afogatto normally choosing a dark chocolate gelato. You can just chill with a steaming hot espresso and a liqueur on a super cold day when you're out exploring. Or you can order a quick sandwich to eat in or take out. To date I've enjoyed each and every flavor of Gelato I've experimented with. The Lemon Ice and Pistachio being my favorites. Today I tried their Taramisu for the first time. It has all the classic flavors the cake would have including the lady finger biscuits. #HighlyRecommend. read more

Wow I wish I got pictures!!! So many gelato flavours here and excellent service at a great price point in the falls. What makes this place great is it's off the strip a bit making it far less chaotic and more enjoyable! They serve many gelato and coffee options, cone or cups. The hazelnut gelato was AMAZING!! Mixed with the chocolate ice which is a dark almost bitter sweet flavour that perfectly complimented each other. Medium gives you 3 scoops and small is 2 with awesome size to the scoop! Definitely recommend especially if you are trying to avoid all the touristy places and far less superior in quality ice creams. Check them out!! read more

Amazing gelato! So glad I found this gem during my vacation at Niagara Falls. The gelato here is creamy, flavourful, and not too sweet. They have some unique flavours which include nougat, cannoli, ginger yogurt with peach or chocolate ice which is a dark chocolate without any dairy. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The large cup comes with 4 full scoops which allows you to try many flavours. read more

This cafe looks very unsuspecting from the outside, but it was outstanding! It's a less than 10 minute walk from Clifton Hill and better than most ice cream you could buy there. The employee at the counter was so kind and let us sample multiple flavors. We were originally going to order a small, but decided on a medium (3 flavors) because everything looked so tasty... I ordered Stracciatella, Raspberry Cheesecake, and Chocolate Caramel Brownie. All were flavorful, creamy, and delicious. I can not recommend this place enough- I will definitely return whenever in the area. read more

Found this gem really close by to our Airbnb. If it's close to you, I highly recommend coming here for a refreshing treat. Everything is decently priced, considering that it is still very close to the tourist area. I made 2 trips here during my 4 day trip to Niagara Falls. The first time I ordered the Mango and Lemon. The gelato was smooth and refreshing which is just what I was looking for. My friends also ordered the hazelnut gelato which tastes really similar to ferrero rocher. If you like chocolate-y or love nutella, I highly recommend this one. On my second trip here, I ordered the take-home 500mL box which costs only $7!!! This was a freaking steal considering how much gelato they give you. I highly recommend this box if you would like to share with 2 - 4 people. You can get a variety of flavours to try and they fill the box to the brim. I was really happy with all the flavours I tried, but one of my favourites was definitely the strawberry gelato. No artificial food colouring or any of that sort, just really good strawberry gelato. My friend also had the espresso with ice cream which he fell in love with. He kept thinking about how good it was when we left and pretty much raved about it. Overall, if you're looking for a sweet treat or dessert in the area, come here. read more

Italian Ice Cream - Lemon and mango gelato - $4.75 medium cup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Such a mundane name for such a cool place, pun intended. Yes they have gelato aka "Italian Ice Cream". With a variety of flavors I will always judge a place by whether or not they have my 2 favorite flavors or not if they want to call themselves gelato slingers. If they are missing one of my flavors they will fail plain and simple. Italian Ice Cream however had both of my flavors so they passed with flying colors, just like their gelato's rainbow and shades of glorious tastiness. Oh my favs are hazelnut (nocciola) and lemon together. One is sweet and creamy and the other clears the palate. Yummy! This place is also licensed so if you want a beer to go with that gelato, sure... and they have other food like paninis etc so yes they are not just an ice cream shop. This place has been here a long time and for a frozen treat in a tourist area it's not that expensive that being it's under 5 bucks for a large. The sizes are 1, 2, 3, or 4 scoops. In ordering terms that's baby, small, medium and large. They offer take home sizes (trays) too. They also seem to have more tables outside than they do inside. read more

Come to Niagara Falls for a weekend to celebrate our son's 15th Birthday. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza which was in the center of everything but we decided to go for a walk and check our the restaurants around the area to get away from all the crowds and line ups. We finished our meal and my wife said let's look for some Italian ice cream. So we looked on Yelp and there it was. As we walked out the restaurant it was across the street. The Italian ice Cream cafe, ice cream parlor. We walked in and we found our favorite place in the whole of Niagara Falls. This establishment makes all their own Italian ice creams. So many to choose from there ice flavors to old school Italian style. The espresso bar and shots you can have are amazing. It took us back to when we were kids. It was the highest quality you could ever ask for. Forget all the ice cream on Clinton Hill. Go for a nice walk for 5 minutes up the street and you will never regret it. The establishment was clean, people who served us were happy and wanting to make us happy. Quality of everything it top notch! I know it's just Italian ice cream and espresso, but I would and will drive from home 2 1/2 hrs just to come here for a night to enjoy good desert and espresso with my wife, friends and family. If anything forget all the commercialized crap and get back to basics! They even had a older Italian gentleman playing music. I would give the Italian Ice Cream shop 6 out of 5 hands down, all day long! read more

We stopped in here since it wasn't too far of a walk from our B&B and our host recommended it. It's a nice little shop with a cozy outdoor patio as well as a few indoor tables. I had a medium size and got strawberry, vanilla and chocolate brownie. It was delicious! I love gelato and this was some good stuff. I definitely recommend going here for some deliciousness! The girls working were very nice also. read more

This is a quaint little ice cream shop, just past all the noise & bright lights of "Circus Hill." It's worth going a few more steps, not just for the quiet, but also for some of the best ice cream, gelato, & Italian ice. Rich & creamy, handmade in the kitchen, their flavours are intense & creative. I had a scoop of Hazelnut Gelato & a scoop of Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownie (with chunks of brownie!) that was out of this world. read more

Tried this place and minutes after here I am writing this review. Came down to the Niagara area to check out things regarding university and decided to make the rest of the night by having dinner and finishing off with dessert. I had done my homework before hand to make sure this place wasn't closed or just to save us from some type of disappointment as such. We pulled up to the shop and drove through a small entrance that lead us to the rear end with just one perfect parking spot left. (The good signs started here) As we entered we were greeted by friendly young ladies who did a great job at explaining flavours as well as if they were dairy or ice based. All fruit flavours were ice based which threw me off as I didn't know this when trying the strawberry. As the taste tests went by I settled on 4 flavours which filled a large size cup, one scoop of each flavour. I chose chocolate caramel brownie, berry cheesecake, raspberry sorbet and finally a delicious orange chocolate chip called "G___ Mia gelato". (The blank is for the rest of the word which I do not remember. lol) Exquisite gelato in terms of quality, texture and flavour at wonderful prices (the large costed $4.79 pre tax) read more

I would have to agree with Yelpers. The gelato is very good here! It's homemade. They have been in business since the 1970's. Small ice cream shop with a handful of tables. Employee was very friendly and have my family samples to try before hand. My family tried, pistachio, mint chocolate chip, coffee and stracciatella. All the flavors were great. Not too sweet and not overly creamy. Pricing was good. Toppings are extra. They also serve coffee, cappuccino, and sandwiches. When coming time visit to Niagara falls, this place is a must visit because I think it's the best around, unless you're looking for frozen yogurt. It's' located on the side of American falls by the Sheraton water park and casino. Only a short walk from there. read more

Interesting flavors, and a nice clean store with competitive prices makes this a very good desert place. I tried the honey and goat cheese gelato and it was fantastic. You can get your favorite flavor in a bowl, regular cone, sugar cone or waffle cone read more

Italian Ice Cream - large (4 flavors) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

We went here after having dinner at the Sandstone Grillhouse across the street. They had a TON of gelato flavors to choose from. We chose the chocolate caramel brownie. It tasted like chocolate gelato sans caramel and a wee crumb of brownie in it. That was disappointing but it was still decent. (Just wanted the actual taste of everything named in the gelato) But if you eat it there it's served in this cold metal bowl with a metal gelato spade to eat it with. Charming. I'd go back if in the area, just might try something else. read more

Quaint place, friendly staff, excellent frozen treats. Coffee was great too.

We were referred here by the folks at Antica Pizza, and we're really glad we were! There was a nice selection of 20 or so gelato flavors, and all three of us enjoyed ours immensely. I've been a big fan of salted caramel ice cream for years, especially as a compliment to another flavor. Here they have Sea Salt Toffee gelato, which served that same purpose. I combined it with banana for a wonderful flavor combination. My girlfriend had pistachio with banana. I typically don't like pistachio ice cream, but the pistachio gelato here was pure, creamy deliciousness. We are planning another trip across the border tonight for more! read more

A rare example of successful local business in Niagara Falls, Italian Ice Cream is a summer staple for me. You won't find better ice cream/gelato anywhere, but isn't just about the frozen treats this is also the best place to grab a coffee downtown. An authentic European café in a great spot, with a nice patio, and good prices. This is the summer in Niagara, and you'll be hooked. read more

Found this little gem, just off the beaten path while on our trip to Niagara Falls! The service was amazing, she really knew her stuff! The ice cream was so good, and such a great value! The flavors are always changing, which is neat. But all of the ones we tried, we loved! We ordered mediums, and it was a large serving size. More than enough! read more

Sooo good. Very good gelato. I had straccitella. I know I spelled that wrong. Little flakes of chocolate in vanilla gelato and also coffee Great. You can get two flavors when ordering a small which was a bonus. Kids had brownie caramel and Italian ice. We all loved it and the prices are less than half what you pay a couple blocks away on Clifton hill and tastes so much better. Walk a couple blocks and go to this place. They sell espresso also which smelled fantastic read more

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place as we found ourselves hungry on the wrong side of Clifton Hill on a hot summer day. We thought some ice cream would tide us over before we could find a proper meal. We were so happy to have wandered in here. This is some of the best gelato we've ever had. Authentic, delicious, and very reasonably priced. The girl working the counter was very friendly and helpful. We liked it so much and kept talking about it that we made sure to visit again before we left town - almost missing a guided tour in the process! I paired up the mango & raspberry ices which was fantastic. My girlfriend had the mint chocolate chip and the salt water taffy. I can't recommend this place enough. We'll be back! read more

If you are in Niagara Falls you have to come for a late night treat! I've been to Italy and had world class gelato, this is the closest comparison.

OMG. It's been 6 months since we visited Italian ice cream and I still dream about this ice cream! Our server at Sandstone Grill recommended that we try the tiramisu. Sorry to say, they were out. So we tried the pistachio instead. This is the most amazing ice cream ever! It's sort of a fresh, organic type of ice cream. Not the usual sugary sweet stuff. Pure and simple goodness. Should have brought home a gallon. read more

SO DELICIOUS!!! I always try to find a yummy ice cream place when I visit a new city and this one is a favorite! Friendly staff and the Italian ice cream is rich and flavorful! I got the coconut and strawberry flavors and they were so fresh. Definitely coming back tomorrow! read more

This gelato shop was worth the drive across the border to try. It has a wide variety of homemade gelato flavors. They have seating inside and on a patio out front. There is some parking behind the building and a city lot across the street. It's just a short walk from Clifton Hill and has better offerings than anything similar on that strip. read more
