Genuinely authentic gelato! And I've had gelato in Italy. Never visit Sarasota without visiting Settimi's! It's the best.

My family and I went back everyday to Settimi's!! It was delicious! In the picture is he chocolate peanut butter gelato on a waffle cone. That was my personal favorite. It is a must try. read more

Settimi's Gelato - Gelato Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Lovely shop and absolutely delicious gelato! My kids and I stopped by and were lured in by the lovely aroma! The gelato was the best I have had in a very long time and the service was wonderful. There are a few patio tables outside to enjoy the gelato and people watch. Lovely! read more

Cute spot with a variety of options. Everything from pizza to gelato! Service is extremely nice! We stopped here early Monday on Labor Day after brunch. My 6yo nephew was determined to try Gelato for the very first time at this precise spot. We had popped in a few days ago, but had not had lunch yet and promised a return. (Did I mention he has an excellent memory? ;-)) They opened at 10am. We arrived at 9.05am. They were inside, obviously setting up and very sweetly let us know. No problem- we played in the park for a bit while waiting. I tried to distract him with ice cream from another spot to no avail. He wanted gelato. From Settimi's. Only. At 9.28am, he wanted to go back and check. We walked around the block and he peeked in. They were still setting up. I distracted him again and off we went. Finally, at 9.40am, he couldn't take it. My nephew went back to the store, politely knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me sir. I have been waiting a very long time and I would really like to try gelato please. May I have some ?I have been very patient. It's ok if you need more time, I can wait if you need me to. I've never had gelato before." The owner looked over to the gelato case which was still empty and back at me. I was about to apologize when he said, "Sure, do you know what flavor you would like?" "No sir. I have never had gelato before. But yours looked very good. May I try a few flavors?" The owner happily obliged, going back and forth to the freezer and returning with spoons of the requested flavors. Finally my nephew selected his flavor and placed his order. The owner then introduced himself to me and said, "I am honored that your first taste of gelato will come from my shop." He tried not to charge us, but of course I insisted (and included a tip!). My nephew was ecstatic. The smile on his face as he tasted gelato was priceless. He loved it! Said it tasted like "extra tasty ice cream"! ;-) This spot is FIVE STARS on Service alone!!! Great spot!! And yes, the gelato was good too! read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to get some ice cream, frozen yogurt, or some gelato when we stumbled on this place. It's a small little shop, but has big taste! I liked the fact that you could peak into the store before fully committing to the gelato life. It looked good, so we went in. I fell in love with the banana split flavor the first time it touched my tongue. I liked it so much, I went with the medium instead of the small. The gelato was very creamy, smooth, and tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes anything sweet! Oh, and my wife had the chocolate peanut butter flavor. She said it's everything you expect with chocolate peanut butter, but better. read more

Gelato!!!!! Anyone who knows me knows gelato is my favorite thing ever. When grandma needed to sit down and rest, I ran across St. Armand's to grab us some gelato! The girl at the counter patiently waited on the couple in front of me who was definitely only there for free samples. And then continued her patience when I asked for recommendations on her favorites. I ended up with one hazelnut and cappuccino and one hazelnut and raspberry. I didn't actually want hazelnut in both cups, she misunderstood which is fine because it was delicious anyway. The raspberry sorbet was my favorite of the three, it had that perfect sorbetto consistency! I'll definitely come back next time I go to Lido and St. Armands! read more

This place is legit and truly a gelato place. The flavors, light airy and not too sweet gelato is right on point. Gotta try it!

This was a small gelato shop located right by the The circle and the little shops. It is a great stop for a cold treat while shopping and walking around. There a listing of flavors and you're welcome to sample them too. I'm glad the guy was patient with us!!! We had a hard time deciding! We were sold ok the mint chocolate and the lemon. read more

Velvety smooth gelato! After several samples. I settled on mint chocolate chip and it didn't disappoint. Very generous sized small. Perfect way to end the night! read more

Settimi's Gelato - Gelato Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Great way to finish the evening This little gelato shop is right on the circle, so after any dinner, it is an easy walk to a delicious desert. There are very many flavors and every one we tried was great. read more

BEST GELATO I probably ever had. My family and I are vacationing here from New Jersey and we came here based off reviews and decided to give it a try. We are 100% Italian and restaurant owners so we are tough critics and this gelato was EXCELLENT. The banana split & Nocciola were amazing. So creamy and tasty. We have had gelato in Italy and honestly this might top it. We will be back!!! MUST TRY!! read more

Nice staff who don't get mad at you for testing five different flavors of gelato.... Very clean, easy to sit, and have a gelato & coffee inside in the restaurant with music:). Clean bathrooms too. read more

Gelato was amazing, very fresh and tasty! But do not recommend the cappuccino drink, they were not appetizing

We had the mint chocolate ship and the coffee gelato today. They were delicious. Very smooth and highly flavorful. It is a little place but then you keep going towards the back and there is plenty of space to sit down. It was great! read more

Great flavors and fun menu! Best gelato in the area! Will come back!! I loved the Carmel waffle cone.... a small was the perfect amount to share! read more

It is the best place for chocolate and pistachio ice cream Also the service there is excellent.

Got there at 10 PM (when they close at 10:30) and the employees locked the doors and ignored us. Terrible service.

We enjoyed this after dinner! It's a little pricey but, fresh and tons of flavors. We enjoyed the mint chocolate chip! It's a cute place if you are walking around. It's touristy ;) aka pricey! read more

Mom, sister and I needed something sweet after dinner and saw this shop. We tried a few different flavors and all of them were amazing! I highly recommend the limoncello and the tiramisu! We will definitely come back here again! read more

Delicious, but they lose a star for claiming its gelato. Real gelato is not healthier and lower in calories than ice cream. It's the opposite. That said, their ice cream is excellent and should not be missed. read more

Can't go wrong with a simple scoop of gelato! Fluffy and light and perfect after a meal at the end of a relaxing day at the pool and beach. Highly recommend. The ladies here were super sweet and the gelato is delicious! read more

While visiting Sarasota, my wife and I stopped for some gelato. We ordered 2 waffles bowls with 3 flavors each and sat at one of the tables outside. She had Almond Chocolate, Almond Joy and Rum Raisin. I had Nociolla, Coconut and Almond Chocolate. We both agreed that the best one and the least sweet was Almond Chocolate. The service is good and fast even though it was very busy (St. Patrick's Day weekend). read more

The best Gelato in St. Armand's Square... My husband and I heard about this place and we stopped to get a small cup to share and we both ended up filling ourselves with a larger portion each. True Gelato.... read more

Excellent service good espresso crema but the gelato amarena ad pistachio are too Sweet for me!!

Hands down best pizza in Sarasota! The gelato is also great come here for a true New York/European feel. The pizza is handmade fresh while you wait. read more

Best gelato in the Sarasota area. Small little gelato shop with a few tables outside. I tried the dulce de leche and cappuccino gelato. The texture and the taste were just perfect. If you're looking for a sweet treat this is the place to go! read more

Just a great selection of amazing gelato. When you're needing a pick me up from walking around St. Armand's Circle, stop by Settimi's and you won't be disappointed. I recommend a scoop of pistachio and a scoop of chocolate. read more

Kilwins is so overrated for its ice cream. This is the place to go for gelato in Sarasota. Friendly service as always. Favorites are nociolla, coconut, dulce de leche. It may be made out of mix like someone mentioned, but it's damn good mix if it is read more

Nice little shop. Locally owned. Gelato was good and you can sit outside which is nice and relaxing.

If you need more energy to keep shopping, the gelato hits the spot. Got a strawberry for my son who was hot and tired of walking, med. $4

Best frozen dessert on the circle. We had the pistachio, noccola and the cherry. All were great. I could say dangerous amounts of the noccola and the pistachio! Skip kilwins (my former go to spot for frozen treats on the circle). While they aren't bad, this is so much better. Better service too. read more

Stopped in after dinner. The place was pretty empty. We ordered chocolate and birthday cake for the kids. Both said it was good. I tried coconut. It was not bad, but it needed more coconut flavor. Still love the gelato back in Orlando more and also the toasted coconut at Kilwins! read more

I've been wanting to try this place but every time we were out at St. Armands I was full. Well today I was in between meals & finally got to try it. I ordered a small Nocciola....oh my goodness it was sooo good. It reminds me of the Baccio gelato I had in Italy. I can't wait to come back & try other flavors! read more

Gelato is delicious, always a must have in Sarasota. Small gelatos consist of two scoops for $4. If you want two flavores in one cup you have to upgrade to a medium size. The best flavors in my opinion are Cappuccino, lemon and raspberry. read more

Amazing pizza!!! We were in from Chicago looking for some good, authentic pizza and happened onto this gem. The owner is from New York and has been making pizza for the last 40 years and it shows in the quality of the pies. Don't hesitate to give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Went here for the Gelato and now want to return for the pizza. Excellent selection of Gelato, with the invitation to sample. We had the cookies & cream, pistachio, nocciola, and chocolate almond. All were very good, especially the pistachio and nocciola. (kids ordered the other two). Chef Gino worked the back of the restaurant in the pizza kitchen. He is a 43-year NJ pizza veteran with his off-the-boat Italian voice. The pizza looked thin and great. We have had several pizzas in the area (Ciao, Oma's, and Pizza Pi, and none were great. Next time we are looking for pizza, here is where we will try. read more
