Gelarto is located in Downtown Wilmington along the Riverwalk, housed inside the historic J.W…read more Brooks Warehouse Building. The vibe here is so much fun, featuring a whimsical layout with beautiful paintings on the walls that all have playful gelato-themed accents. I'm not sure which I like the best, but maybe the Mona Lisa or American Gothic. For seating, they have unique stools made from upcycled Vespa motor scooters, alongside traditional tables and chairs. The gelato and waffle cones are manufactured directly in Turin, Italy. There are 40 flavors, but they rotate regularly, so not all are available at the same time. Samples are provided before you order. I am still trying to time my visits just right for the cinnamon! Besides their premium gelato, they offer fruit sorbets, shakes, and specialty cakes, as well as coffee if you are just looking for a warm beverage. On my last visit, I ordered two scoops--one of vanilla and one of chocolate hazelnut--and it was delicious as always. Just a helpful heads-up that the actual utensils they give you to eat your cup with are those very small, traditional-tasting spoons rather than standard ice cream spoons! Gelarto does have an exceptionally clean restroom available for customers, though you will need to ask the staff for the security keypad code to get inside. Maybe cinnamon will be available in October, as it is an autumn flavor.

We walked in and as I'm holding the door open she yells for me to not hold the door open, but I was holding the door open for my friend who was literally right behind me with a stroller and a baby! Then as we get inside my friends and I were talking about how rude she treated us as we were walking in and then she walks over to us in front of the whole store and ask us ''if we have a problem! '' this was absolutely unprofessional and embarrassing, we will never come back to this establishment. Needless to say I didn't purchase anything, but my friends did for their small kids, but we couldn't have got out of there fast enough. Very rude staff and unprofessional!

I love macarons, so I'm probably too harsh of a critic, but that was the only miss for me. The texture of the shell was totally lost and the macaron ended up just being mushy, but otherwise it was a tasty treat overall. The space was also very cute and the staff really nice, especially for pretty close to closing on a week night.

I ordered the waffle w/ powdered sugar, tiramisu gelato, and coffee gelato. It was delicious!!!! Once ready, it was brought to my table with great presentation. The waffle was crispy and golden brown on the outside, while being fluffy and airy on the inside. I will definitely be back!

The gelato is actually fantastic and definitely amongst the best in the area (including quite a large radius). The texture is just so smooth, creamy, and perfectly rich while somehow still maintaining some lightness so I could keep eating more. The flavors were relatively simple and traditional, but just packed and executed incredibly well. Overall just some truly great gelato. The shop itself is quite nice with a modern and well decorated interior, offering a good amount of seating inside, a bench outside, and with its location in the center of Downtown Cary there are plenty of places to walk around or to where you can enjoy. The service was friendly and efficient. Prices, while definitely on the higher side, are acceptable given the quality, especially for this quality of a sweet treat! Will absolutely be coming back for more and recommend all to give it a try.

Food: got the sour cherry and hazelnut chocolate gelato.

There are lots of flavor options, and the portion sizes are reasonable. You can try a couple flavors without getting a quart of gelato like some ice cream shops serve as a double scoop (lol). The waffle cone was one of the best I've ever had. The vegan options are equally delicious as the dairy gelato. I had both, and honestly I would have been super satisfied with either option! I chose the vegan pineapple passion fruit and the strawberry and cream gelato. My husband had the peanut butter swirl gelato in a cup. I'm hoping to go back on my way out of town!
