    Littles living their gelato

    A sweet family run gelato and candy shop tucked away on Sealy Ave. The gelato flavors are wonderful and we love that they offer smaller than small servings for little ones. The staff are all very kind and friendly.

    Yummy gelato
    Brad M.

    I'm not sure how many gelato (soft Italian ice cream) stores are in the Fort Worth Dallas metroplex, but this is THE one you don't want to miss. In business about 2 years, the owner Nick and his son (of actual Italian decent), are killing it! They are making the real thing! Both are super friendly, and appreciative of your drive, and business... these guys are the actual reason we #shoplocal !! Yes, it's almost December, and I was drawn in by the Christmas Tree cake gelato! It's sweet cream based, with actual Christmas tree cakes swirled in! It's absolute #divine! I certainly did not miss the Stratichella or the Tiramisu either! #BestinFortWorth #BestinFW They also had cranberry orange sorbetto! That mean's dairy-free, for all my vegetarian and vegan lovers! They have a great assortment of muffins as well! You probably already know them for their Sweet Cream Cruffins (think cross between a muffin and a croissant: a light, fluffy, layered, treat injected with homemade Italian Pasty Cream!) However, we haven't even gotten into the pro-tips!! First, learn this word: Affogatto: it means Drowned in Italian! What is means to you: creamy gelatto "drowned" in delicious fresh espresso! Then "sink" into one of their couches and simply melt away! If you really want to power up, and feel like you are in Italy.. it's Brioche con Gelato! Nick's Grandma's recipe for lemon-orange brioche, with a gelato filled middle... you guessed it, the Ice Cream Sandwich on Steroids! Whether you are in Fort Worth, Northlake, at the Speedway or visiting Justin Boots, you owe yourself a stop in here! Easily 5 stars, 10 if I could give them!! DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE SOME HOME!! And if you read this far: GET THE GELATO FLIGHT!! Great Value, Try them all!!

    Mom and pop gelato shop in downtown Justin. Amazing find. Very surprised. I did not expect to find such an amazing gelato shop in Justin. The shelf to itself was amazing and the options were great. The staff was very polite and welcoming. Another cool thing was that they have espressos and even a gelato espresso. I could not try it out it was late in the evening but I shall try it on my next visit. They also have shop baked items and a small candy store. Very unique place. I will definitely return.

    Not only was the Bourbon Apple Crisp amazing, but the service was amazing! They make you feel like friends who stopped by for a chat.

    Joe's Pizza and Pasta is one of those places I can't believe I slept on for so long…read more I have driven past this spot a bazillion times since we moved to Justin (and even back when we lived in Northlake, which isn't far at all). We'd always notice it, but for whatever reason, never stopped. Finally, we decided, "Let's just go"--and I'm so glad we did. First off, it's BYOB, which is always a nice bonus. The food feels very homemade and clearly made to order (I know for sure the Alfredo sauce is). I started with the bruschetta, and let me tell you--it is not the bruschetta you're expecting. It's different, unique, and absolutely incredible. So good it deserves its own shoutout. I ordered the three-cheese ziti, and it was fantastic. Honestly, the biggest compliment I can give is that none of us left with leftovers. Every single bite was eaten. That never happens. The place has that cozy, mom-and-pop feel, with limited tables, so there's a chance you might have to wait--but it is 100% worth it. If you're on the fence like I was for years, take this as your sign to go. I'd absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back.

    I've been craving a meatball sub and yelp led us to this little gem of an Italian restaurant…read more We were greeted warmly and seated right away. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxing. I like the gentle soft music playing in the background. It adds for a super relaxing lunch experience. We started off with the fried mozzarella "sticks". They were delicious. Light and airy and their marinara sauce was the perfect compliment. If this sauce is on the meatball sub I'm gonna be a very happy guy! Our waiter, an absolute Gent brought out some homemade garlic rolls that were simply exquisite! Fresh and tasty. A real treat! Of course I had to order the meatball Parmigiana sub. Spaghetti. It arrived in no short order and was perfectly prepared. Served hot. I especially liked the sub. Light and airy and toasted to pure tender perfection. The meatballs were good. I'd argue a bit more seasoning was needed. The sub needed a bit more sauce. I want a messy meatball sub. I remedy this by using some of the marinara from the bread and mozzarella sticks. We also tried the Fettuccine Alfredo. For me the Alfredo sauce was a bit of a disappointment. I like it salty. It was creamed based and needed some fresh Parmesan cheese and salt. I was sitting on a 3-4 star review landed on 4 overall.

    This place was amazing and tasted very authentic. We got calamari for a starter and it was crispy…read moreand delicious and served with a side of sauce. It had the rings and the entire animal -those are my favorite! You order at counter and food is brought out to you when ready. Service was great and quick. It was 3pm. So it wasn't busy at all. The pizzas were fantastic and the crisp was perfect and crispy. They have clean high chairs-that's a plus. It was quiet with us being the only patrons. Music would be nice but all in all it was A+ and we will go back!

    We live nearby and wanted to try this place after we saw the positive YELP reviews. Once again,…read moreYELP for the win!! We started with the Arancini, a deep-fried ball of rice, pesto and mozzarella; rolled in bread crumbs. Never had anything like it before. It's amazing. Their tomato sauce is so fresh and salted perfectly. For your entrees, you "build your own"....choose your pasta, the sauce and the protein.My wife had the penne pasta, tomato sauce and meatballs. Very good. I chose the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. Excellent. The bread is also terrific. Prices are fair. Service very attentive. It is a very minimalist dining room, boardering on spartan, but who cares, you can't eat ambience. We will definitely be back. Want to try their margherita pizza. Also saw another diner's entree of pasta with pesto sauce. This place lived up to its stellar YELP score!!
