Tonight was amazing! Finished our night with gelato from Rosso Gelato. Tonight, Jeffrey and Else graciously and continuously served the delicious handmade gelato to customers where the line was out of the door! For me, I selected chocolate hazelnut that was out of this world! Thank you Jeffrey and Else for working so diligently serving all of the customers to the peak of the evening. Very dedicated and hard working employees! Outstanding job! read more

I'm very surprised about the reviews on this gelato place. We stopped in this afternoon for the first time in several years because usually it is closed. First off, the counter person was extremely rude, the gelato was OK but not great. I'm not gonna talk about the restroom because it was that bad, Inside the shop the windows were filthy dirty as well as the floors and the front door. So gross! We will not be going back. read more

I visited for the first time on 8 March 2024, right after I had dinner next door at Valerio restaurant. I arrived at the gelato shop around 10pm and there were about 5 other people in line. This is a little ice-cream shop that serves a variety of gelato flavours whose owner is originally from a small town close to Venice, Italy. The owner was working in the shop when I arrived and he is a sweet old man who I briefly spoke to. I forgot his name, my mistake (maybe Charles?). GELATO FLAVOURS -- There are many to choose from. After reviewing all the flavour offerings, I decided to get the Salted Caramel and Lemon Custard flavours. Both favours really complimented each other - the sweetness of the caramel coupled with the citrusy lemon custard - just perfecto. The gelato was very rich and creamy. It tastes so much better than traditional ice-cream. AMBIANCE -- The ambiance inside is nice with a couple of chairs/tables to sit on plus some wall decorations. I love the red seating and the red motorcycle that sits by one of the front windows. I'm hardly on the east side of Cleveland but I can't wait to visit again. I love supporting small local businesses like Rosso Gelato. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 16/150 total reviews in 2024 - 666 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 16 March 2024 read more

The gelato at Rosso Gelato was so good! I'm usually an ice cream girl but Rosso Gelato was recommended to me and my family and we were glad we went. We were able to sample different flavors before making a decision but I knew right when I walked in and saw the strawberry gelato, that's what I wanted. Two of us got strawberry gelato and one blood orange. Check them out if you're visiting Little Italy and looking for a sweet treat. read more

The gelato was delicious. The service was bad. The lady working the shift didn't even greet us, I said "hi good afternoon" and she barely open her mouth to reply back, insane. I told her if she could speak louder, and to have a good attitude and she got very upset at me and while serving the ice cream she was cursing. It's crazy, you go to spend money in their business and they couldn't have a good customer service! Disappointed about it. read more

YUM! Rossi Gelato was delicious! We went on a Saturday afternoon when the weather was nice. We had to wait a little while as there was only one person working, but it was worth the wait! When it was our turn to order, he asked if we had any questions about the flavors. I decided to try the stracciatella and hot chocolate flavors - you can dive up any size into two flavors. Both were amazing! I got the size small and it was more than enough for me. There's also seating inside. I didn't the any of these, but they also sold coffee drinks such as lattes and some desserts. I will definitely be going back! read more

The best gelato I've ever had. The prices seem pricey for Cleveland, but they really cram the gelato into the cup size of your choosing. I had the mint and sea salt caramel. The mint tasted like actual mint toothpaste, which I don't mind the taste of. The sea salt caramel was delicious. It was smooth and not too sweet! The interior of the cafe is bright and clean. A bunch of retro car-related items are on display. Definitely check them out if you're a fan of motorcycles or cars. Parking is rough in Little Italy. But Rosso Gelato is worth an extra walk compared to the other places located in Little Italy. read more

We used to go to the old location when it was in Rocky River. It seems that things have gone downhill since they moved. The people working were nice. However, the flavors weren't as intense. My sister found a large hair in her gelato. Several of the flavors were out. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, with no paper towels and a tiny toilet paper roll wasn't even in the holder, just placed on top of the grab bar. Unfortunate that things aren't as good as they used to be... read more

Visiting Cleveland today and explores their little Italy region. I live this little place. First off appreciate your precautions for Covid and the staff being so friendly!!!!

How could you not get gelato when in Little Italy? Ate dinner close by and the bakeries were already closed, so happy Rosso was open. Beautiful selection of gelato and sorbets. Many, many flavors to choose from! Bright lovely colors. I had a small cup of lemon custard and raspberry truffle, cost $4.50. Love how the server scooped it tall. So creamy and delicious! read more

Place: This place is in in little Italy. The store is pretty good and spacious. There are covid precautions. Service: The service was amazing and helped with what to choose. Everyone is wearing a mask (yay). Food/price: The price is pretty worth it. I got blood orange and black raspberry. I got the small and it is around $3.00. They don't sample due to covid so why not be adventurous to pick a new flavor. There are many other flavors if you like tangy. My friend got ube and vanilla custard which also was pretty good! Audience: Great for family and friends. Recommend/tips? I recommend this place! I plan to come here again :) read more

I'm happy this shop has opened to Little Italy. Cleveland was missing some good gelato! I love the creamier flavors and have been able to try the salted caramel and hazelnut. Both delicious. But i will say my two favorite flavors currently are grapefruit and blood orange. Paired together, they are super refreshing on a hot summer cleveland day. read more

I love coming to Rosso Gelato after eating too much pasta at the abundance of Italian restaurants in Little Italy. It seems like a relatively new place here in Little Italy and it's super clean with a nice ambiance. The A/C is also blasting. It is definitely one of my favorite finds after my recent move to Cleveland. There's a lot of flavors, a variety of sorbet and gelato, as well as one or two non-sugar options. Sizes are small, medium, and large- $3.50, $6, and $7, respectively. After some taste testing, I decided on Frutti di Bosco, which has 4 different type of berries and is very refreshing, so I got it twice! I also tried green apple, which tasted like green apple Jolly Ranchers. My boyfriend picked coffee and then salted caramel. Coffee was a bit tame flavor-wise and definitely too milky. Salted caramel was absolutely delicious, tasted exactly like those delicious caramel chews, and had crunchy salted caramel bits sprinkled throughout. Portion wise, I felt like small was enough for me and they really loaded that small cup up. Definitely worth a visit (or two!) in Little Italy. read more

I've been in town 7 days, have been to Rosso, 4 out of the 7 days. Need I say more, the Italian cream and the Hazelnut are favorites so far, but I'm sure I will have others to rave about in the next few days. read more

On such a hot day, we decided to visit Little Italy to enjoy some gelato. With such high ratings on Google search, we decided to give this place a try. We wanted to love it as there were many regulars there, and the line was long. Let me first start by saying the place is clean and the customer service is excellent. There was only one guy handling everyone's orders. He was polite and patient, and definitely working hard to quickly serve us. You can get two flavors in any size cups which is a benefit when you can't decide the flavor you want. There were so many flavors to choose from. We ordered the Lemon custard and the raspberry in a mid size cup for $5.50. Very reasonably priced, but it just did not hit the right spot, maybe it was just the flavors we picked. We've tasted better raspberry gelato. Lemon custard was a new flavor for us. read more

Wide variety of gelato favors! Flavors could've been a little richer, but still not bad for a late night gelato spot in the cute ambience of little Italy! read more

Excellent gelato!!! I had the cookies and cream and the Nero. Nero is a water based (vegan) chocolate gelato. It kinda tasted like dark chocolate, or like brownie batter. The cookies and cream was absolutely delicious. Great gelato at an excellent price and portion size! Highly recommend! read more

They changed something about the gelato ingredients. The flavors tasted so fake, not the same. Even my husband said the same thing. This was my first time here since they closed in Rocky river which we used to love. The bathroom was so disgusting I don't think it's ever been cleaned, worse than a gas station bathroom. I hope the owners take note that their old customers know that the gelato is not the same and clean the bathroom. read more

Take this review with a grain of salt knowing we came here during the Feast, so operations may have been a little different that day! My husband got a small cup of the brownies and cream which he thought was good, not mind-blowing. I got a small cup of the blood orange which was tasty and different, kind of along the lines of a sherbert. It was $5 for each small cup which is a little expensive, but they do load the cups up pretty full. We wish we could've gotten samples before ordering, but it might have been that just during the feast they weren't offering samples? Not sure if that's different on a regular day. Overall, good gelato, I might not go out of my way to come here, but reasonable for a sweet treat if you're in the area. read more

Awesome place for ice cream if you are in little Italy. I truly believe its one of the better gelato/ice cream places in Cleveland. We also tried their Italian Hot Chocolate - very good. Exactly as European Hot Chocolate should be. read more

first time i got the coffee flavored and wasn't a huge fan. It wasn't super sweet which is nice but the coffee was very strong (felt like you just chugged two shots of espresso). Still very good quality gelato but it just comes down to personal preference i suppose. second time i got half salted caramel because they're almost out, and half chocolate brownies. the combo worked really well together and i'm glad they let me combine multiple flavors in one cup. my friend tried their chocolate and strawberry sorbetto and absolutely loved it. she said it was super creamy and not heavy at all which is a rare find. read more

Rosso Gelato - chocolate brownie, salted caramel - Gelato Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Not cheap but not outrageous for the high quality gelato and many flavor choices sold here. They range from no sugar added chocolate to dark chocolate (nero), deliciously tart green apple, coffee, amaretto, banana, and many more. The smallest single scoop is $3.75. You pay a 25-cent card fee if total bill is under $5. They sometimes have small Italian bakery items like mini biscotti but all of these I've tried are really not worth your time and are all totally "meh". If you don't want gelato you should however try the panna cotta which is a cooked cream or the pistachio cheesecake which is light in texture and richly flavorful. read more

A pristine spot to grab some gelato or macaroons. Located at the East end of Little Italy's Mayfield strip is Rosso Gelato. The corner store is sparkling white with Mediterranean pictures and a red scooter. Gelato is the Italian ice cream, bright in color and with vivid flavors. Rich, smooth and creamy, Rosso does a great job with its gelato. They offer a nice variety of flavors and are still offering samples. I got the large which allows 3 different flavors. The mint was nicely balanced, fresh and flavorful. The salted carmel had a nice carmel flavor, but I missed the salty contrast I was expecting. The Noir was the standout, among the darkest most chocolaty flavors you will find, if you love dark chocolate this is the flavor for you. A very welcome to the Little Italy neighborhood, Rosso Gelato is well worth a stop for dessert after dinner or as a great snack. read more

I'm so happy they added a gelato place in Little Italy! It is the perfect place to go after a nice dinner in the area, especially now that the weather is getting nicer. The times that I have been to Rosso Gelato, I've been warmly greeted by the workers who are so patient to answer all my questions (as well as waiting for a while for me to choose my flavors). They are also generous with letting people try samples, which is a must especially since there are so many tempting flavors. They have flavors that range from fruity, chocolately, nutty, minty, and more. My favorite flavors so far are dark chocolate, hazelnut, and passionfruit -- but I definitely still have to go back and try others! My only caveat (hence the 4 star rating) is that some of the flavors tasted rather "ice-y, " instead of the smooth texture I expect gelato to be. So yeah, would recommend trying it before you buy it! read more

This is one of Little Italys newest cold confectionary shops. It's on the far eastern edge of the commercial strip. Italian Gelato. Many different sweet and savory flavors. There's a sugar-free chocolate option, which is very good. The lemon custard and chocolate hazrlnut are really great. Average size cup runs 5.50 per serving. They offer about 16 varieties or so. Park on the street. Easy walk to most of the restaurants. Very clean and bright inside. read more

Great gelato, wonderful flavors , you gotta try it when you visit Little Italy, , you will Thank me for it, PS great customer service....

This place is SO good. I love their almond and hazelnut (although they don't always have almond which is disappointing). Their coffee varies- first time I got it I loved it, the next two times it didn't taste as fresh. I'm not big on ice cream in general but this gelato has me going back to them every week! read more

We stopped by Rossi Gelato while walking through Little Italy last week. It's a small shop with a nice selection of gelato and various treats. I ordered the small, which is $3.75 and can include two flavors. I had coffee and chocolate malt. The coffee gelato was sweet and creamy, and the chocolate malt had a few pieces of candy in it. Both were delicious. My son had lemon and blood orange. He said that they were both very tart and the blood orange was not as sweet as he had expected. He would not recommend getting them together as it was just too much "sour" and not enough sweet, and would likely try two different flavors next time. My husband had cookies and cream gelato with chocolate malt and highly recommends both! If you aren't sure what you'd like, they do allow you to try any flavor, which we should have done to avoid the lemon/blood orange combo. read more

Went here for a Valentine's snack with my boyfriend. Wanted try a new gelato place instead of going to my usual stops. So glad I made that decision! I was pleasantly surprised that they allowed samples despite COVID still lingering around. They had a wide selection of gelato flavors both sweet and fruity. You are also able to get 2 flavors in a cup if you really can't choose! I picked birthday cake and chocolate hazelnut. Great combo! I also got a hazelnut latte to go with it. The staff were friendly and very sweet. Brought the latte straight to my table. Next time I come back I'm gonna pick of some macrons because those looked just as good as the gelato too. read more

Such a cute little shop! I love the atmosphere inside and so many choices of delicious gelato (including tons of dairy free options). I've been here twice and have gotten the blood orange and coffee flavor. Both so delicious. The blood orange was amazing on a hot summer day, cool and sweet. The coffee was so creamy and delicious. I also love how they pack a lot into a size small, always over-the-top full! I will definitely be back for more! read more
