Came again today after lunch and have two new flavors to update. Both the black sesame and lychee flavors were delicious! I can't wait to try more flavors!

There are few foods I enjoy more than a fresh deli sandwich, and I was quite pleased with the sandwiches at Cafe Stellato! Cafe Stellato is a very cute cafe that greets you with a display of fantastic looking gelato (which I will be trying next time I come in!). But there are also a plethora of sandwich options available to those who make their way in toward the back of the cafe. I ordered the Stellato Special with the works, and my partner ordered the Alpino. The combination of turkey, artichoke, and sun dried tomatoes were delicious, and the ingredients all tasted very fresh. When asked, I opted for the spicy calabrese spread, though I was slightly disappointed that there was no real spice to it. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the Alpino as well, and commented multiple times on how tasty the pancetta (Italian bacon) was!Our order was taken very quickly, and the sandwiches were prepared nice and quickly. Everyone working there was friendly and efficient.I will definitely be coming back to eat my way through more of their sandwich menu. And next time, I think I'll be topping it off with some of that great looking gelato!

Lots of flavors, and tastes pretty good, but there's a gummy, stringy texture that I'm not sure about. Maybe too much thickener or xantham gum? Not sure. Flavors we enjoyed - mint chocolate chip, mocha chip, and triple fudge brownie. We did not enjoy - peppermint dark chocolate, hazelnut chocolate. I would return and recommend, but make sure you taste some samples before you commit.

this place is INCREDIBLE. i have no idea why there's a line wrapped around the corner down the street at salt & straw when this place exists in the same area. in my defense, i had no clue it existed when i was searching for ice cream/gelato. it definitely deserves more attention.i got the nocciola hazlenut and stracciatella , and MAN is it good. very thick. perfect consistency. i'm italian and have lived in italy and i think this place absolutely nailed their gelato. my favorite was the nocciola hazlenut. they had two different hazlenut flavors and this one was better in my opinion. highly recommend you come here!!

Incredibly rude service. I hate to leave one star reviews ever but they deserve it. If you have a nut allergy or any allergy, don't come here. I asked a worker what the "Tony spaglioni" flavor contained because you can't tell from the name. He said to just try it but I said I can't, I have a nut allergy so can he tell me what's in that flavor. And he said there's nuts in it and said to try it if I want. I again reiterated that I have an allergy and he says, don't try it then and rolls his eyes. All I asked was what the flavor was. I will not be back and their gelato gave me an immediate stomach ache. Do not recommend at all.

Amazing yummy gelato! They have so many flavors so it is definitely hard to choose just one! The banner in the storefront says 60 flavors! Of course you can taste the flavors before you choose which to get, but you'll have to come back over and over again to enjoy them all (which you should)! And it is definitely well worth it! The staff here are super nice and attentive! There's always a line especially the peak times for desserts! They also have beverages, snacks and other goodies too! Our group of 7 all had different flavors and every single person enjoyed the flavors! Raspberry, fig balsamic, pistachio, rocky road, coconut, green tea, mango, and even vanilla! The line may be intimidating as it may line along the sidewalk, but it moves pretty quickly. The staff are efficient and we did not feel rushed at all, as we tried several flavors before pin pointing our final flavors. There are tables out front to sit and enjoy while watching the passers by. Will be back to enjoy more options!

Was in the neighorhood, so I thought I'd give myself a little treat! There were *so* many flavors offered; it was definitely difficult to choose! Since I usually go for something tart and not too sweet, I settled on a single scoop of passion fruit sorbet, passion fruit being my go-to choice for anything if it's offered! It didn't disappoint. It was smooth and tart and not too sweet. They offer food, too. There's a whole sandwich or food menu board in the back of the store and there was a refrigerated case that contained single servings of some of Dianda's pastries. They have a candy section of packaged offerings. I didn't really look around too much because the person at the counter didn't seem too friendly or welcoming. Maybe next time!

I absolutely love love this cute shop!! The sandwiches are delicious, and fresh all the time. The Gelato is so delicious and they have so many flavors. My family absolutely loves the Gelato and all the candy choices. You see a candy on TV or tik tok and the probably have it and my kids love that. I know some people have negative remarks about this place but you seriously must not have good taste to not like this place or maybe have nothing better to do so you give negative remarks. This place is a family buisness and they strive to make it delicious for everyone in the family.

This not close to 5 stars. Love the amount of flavors but I had two and this place is not quality/. Dense not light. Flat not delicious flavors. Really hard to eat as it should have a natural gelato creaminess. Would not return.

Gelato is top notch. Perhaps melting a little more than it should be on a cool day but the flavors are fantastic.Rando thoughts: aesthetically I would love to see more effort put into fun and interesting top decorations and swirls like they do in europe instead of just mashing with the scoop marks. But whatever. Also the whole wall full of candy is a bit odd to me. Would love to see more authentic italian products since there's no specialty shops in the area but I'm sure candy sells well. I see they have sandwiches which look amazing but I don't usually spend more than $12 for a 6" sandwich so I probably wont partake. Finally, looks like they have crepes coming soon. It seems like crepevine has that pretty well covered and this place doesn't have many seats for sitting down and eating amessy crepe. Honestly I'd like to see the candy go and add a few booths and we would probably come here to sit down for lunch.

Amazing ice cream! So good we came back a 2nd night in a row. We're traveling so we're not from here, but if we're in the area I would go again. They had a big store and so many flavor options! They let us sample, but after like 2 samples the amount on the spoon got really small, which when you have that many flavors people are going to want to try them. Between both of us on the 2 nights we got strawberry lemonade sorbet, lemon sorbet, vanilla, cookie dough, peanut butter burst, chocolate hazelnut, stracciatella, and cookies extreme. Wonderful texture and flavors!
