After a filling Turkish meal in the Gulfgate area, South Sarasota,we wanted something for dessert…read more We focused on gelato and walked in. The owner could not have been nicer and gave samples to try his offerings. The gelato is rich, creamy and delicious with some alcohol mixed in. I had a combo and loved every spoonful.(wish I could remember my combo) Flavors change periodically.

I stopped by for the first time after seeing this place on Yelp. The gelato itself wasn't bad and…read morereminded me of the style I saw in Florence, especially the way the gelato was displayed in the covered containers. The experience, however, could have been better. The employee did greet me when I walked in and let me sample a flavor before I made my choice, which I appreciated. However, he seemed to be in a rush, which made the experience feel less welcoming. I came hoping to try the tiramisu flavor because I had seen it on Yelp, but I was told it was only last week's flavor. I understand that flavors change and that they had just received a shipment, so not everything was available yet. I just wish there had been a little more guidance, such as letting first-time customers know where the current flavors are posted (I had to ask if they update them on Instagram). As a first-time customer, it would have been nice if he had asked whether I had visited before or explained how the rotating flavors work, instead of making me feel like I needed to quickly pick a flavor and move on. One other thing I noticed is that there isn't any seating inside. A few tables or chairs would make it a more enjoyable place to sit and enjoy the gelato. Overall, the gelato was good, and I appreciated being greeted and being able to sample a flavor before ordering. With a friendlier, more engaging customer experience and a few small improvements, I'd be more likely to return. *Thank you for your response. I believe there has been a misunderstanding, as the visit you described was not mine. I visited as a first-time customer and purchased two gelatos to go--one for myself and one for my husband. I sampled two flavor before ordering, which I appreciated. I also want to clarify that I never had a father with me, nor was I part of a group sampling every flavor. Because of that, I was surprised to read those comments in response to my review. My review was simply an honest account of my personal experience. I acknowledged the things I appreciated, including the greeting and being able to sample a flavor, while also sharing constructive feedback about feeling rushed and wishing there had been a little more guidance for first-time customers regarding the rotating flavors. I respect that every business receives feedback differently, and I wish you and your business continued success.

It's like they have about 10 flavors available so it's not like you have that many testers you would want, but only One is rude. Then the cup is tiny for one serving and it's $5. They do not split flavors either. If you want 2 flavors split there an up charge for it. It is nice they have small tables and chairs outside to enjoy the miniature cup of gelato. Now I understand why it's dead inside and they are literally next door to a bustling Italian restaurant. Definitely much better options in the area that are more welcoming and kind to customers.

Ooo wee! It was my birthday and I wanted something sweet besides cake…read more I'm glad I found this place, now normally chocolate places are a hit and miss when it comes to white chocolate. But this place takes all the stars! Lol it was so hard to choose just 1 or 2 things. So I got a bunch of things in white chocolate. - white chocolate covered pretzel - w/c coconut - w/c peanut butter cup - w/c with peanuts And one chocolate covered pretzel All tasted super fresh, not overly sweet and the pretzel were delicious. Probably my fav!!! I wasn't too crazy about the peanut butter cup. I did regret not getting more w/c pretzels. Will definitely be retuning soon!

If you have been to Savannah, GA, you may be familiar with the Pecan Praline treats. They have them here. They are really good and sweet and dissolve in your mouth like soft crystals. They have different flavors but I liked the sample of turtle the most. Besides these Savannah Sweets, they have chocolates, candies, ice cream and sorbet. I really didn't feel like ice cream but my husband did so we shared the butter pecan. It was pretty good. We also tasted the toasted coconut but the butter pecan was better. Everyone here was super nice and walked outside and offered ice water to everyone. Such a great friendly detail considering how hot it is right now. Definitely a cute sweet spot to visit in St. Armand's Circle. Also many shops are closed after sunset but they do stay open later.
