The boy and I grabbed a cold brew and iced coffee and it was the perfect afternoon pick me up. They use pebble ice which made our drink all the more enjoyable. Baristas were super friendly as well.

The food is amazing, the service is warm and personal, and the place is small but truly authentic, from Napoli. Don't hesitate to give them a try!

My sandwich was delicious BUT it was missing the avocado (which I went back and asked for separately). I also realized a little too late that I got someone else's order because I got American cheese not Swiss cheese. I think it would be helpful if they labeled the different sandwiches since there were three bagel sandwiches in our order. For my drink, I wanted to try the jewel flavoring (toffee nut and carameand I asked the staffer if it was better in a frappe or an iced latte and she advised the latter. The drink was so delicious that I think she was right. I also ordered a banana nut muffin, which I will have to come back and review as I have not tried it yet. However, I did try the crumble cake and it was too sweet for my liking. The place is really cute with art and merchandise but the music was too loud. However, we were lucky to find seating in the back. I have to say, the staff was nice and responsive. I know it is not easy managing a big party.

I tried the Road Trip flavor along with a seasonal vanilla and chocolate flavor, and both were rich, bold, and delicious.

I also loved being able to scan the menu while waiting in line. The cookies and giant fudge bars are definitely on my list for next time. A great ice cream stop that I'd happily visit again!

The quality, taste and variety of flavors are amazing. I also love that they have other location around the Tampa Bay Area, making it easier to enjoy these delicious gelatos in different places. Definitely a must visit when you're in Anna Maria island. I can't wait to come back and try more flavors.

So, this was not a pleasant experience at all. The person working there is incompetent and…read moredefinitely looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here. First, I asked if we could get samples and she said two per person. That is reasonable. However, the sample size was on the tip of the spoon. Not sure what that achieves. I asked her about the Bacio chocolate boxes on display and if I needed to purchase the whole box, and she said something within the lines of "that's how it usually is" ummmmm the shop has single chocolate pieces for sale, so my question was not entirely unwarranted. Anyways, she put my gelato on the counter and I didn't even realize that it was mine. I had to actually ask. After we grabbed our order, we left, and some of us realized that they did not get a full scoop... Now to the actual flavors, the variety was a bit limited but I have to say that the gelato was delicious. Nonetheless, I did not like the chocolate as it tasted fudgy and I did not get a single hint of the pistachio flavor. I also have to add that she closed the place at around 9:40 pm -20 minutes to closing time. I am saying this noting that the opening time is noted with a red marker on a masking tape, changing the opening time from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This information needs to be updated on the website, since people rely on the internet to get this information. I know someone might say that I should be reviewing the food (that is what the two stars are for), BUT customer service is a part of the experience, especially in a touristy place like Anna Maria. The Gelateria has a lot of potential but the customer service is a genuine loss to the business.

The only donut place that I could find during our weekend stay…read more Small place with lots of variety from desserts to savory treats and even gluten free options. **My issue with this place is that the donuts and bagels that I was interested in were out in the open and uncovered so there were flies over them!!** I purchased a maple glazed vanilla filled donut, an apple fritter, 6 donut holes, and 5 different bagels. I spent near $30 and most of it went to the trash as they were hard and not fresh at all. There was only one young man working, and while nice, he seemed bored and uninviting. Needless to say, I wouldn't return unless they get a covered donut display at least.
