“I’m avoiding sugar for health reasons, and I was so happy to find that D’lites had sugar-free gelato made with Stevia instead of chemical sweeteners! I had the chocolate and it was delicious… Couldn’t even tell that it was sugar-free. They are revamping the space, and I’m excited that they are going to be carrying Italian specialties! Happy to have found my new ice cream spot!“

“Just visited their new location (by Trader's Joe); greeted by staff members as I walked in. Great atmosphere, spacious and clean; always appreciate free samples - they had quite a few - Bonus points!!!!I was craving Mango and Coconut gelato; unfortunately, it was not on the display. As I was browsing... I really didn't want anything else. As I was about to leave... Eddie started a conversation with me where I shared that I came in for Mango and Coconut gelato inquiring if they carry it at this location (I've been to all locations - Fort Myers, Estero, Naples).Eddie asked me to hold on, went in the back and brought Mango and Coconut gelato. Exceptional service. Thank you Eddie... that definitely hit the spot... served the craving... and made my day!!!“

“The ice-cream was great, although there was quite a long line, it moved quickly and we didn't have any trouble finding a spot to sit and enjoy. This place is NOT a brick and mortar though. It is pretty much a food truck alongside another building and it's parking lot. There is nowhere to use the bathroom.Dietary restrictions: They did have 3 or 4 dairy free options on the menu.Parking: There were a significant number of spots considering its just an ice-cream food truck, but the lot was very full. They were quite busy.Kid-friendliness: Menu had a kids cone/dish option (still very large), the seating area had small kids picnic tables, and although no bathroom, there was an outdoor sink for kid washup.“

The service was friendly, and I heard it was family owned. The ambiance is quite nice with both outdoors and indoors seatings. I was hoping that their fruit-flavor gelatos were not limited to just sorbets, hence the 4-star review. I would come back again regardless though.“

“I think this would be a great place to take kids--sundaes are super fun, colorful, and full of toppings. Also a sweet spot for instagrammable ice cream concoctions, especially if a spiked dessert is up your alley. The ice cream was a little rich for my taste, but tasty nonetheless! A simple regular size was too much for me to finish in one sitting, and I will usually inhale ice cream. Overall, would recommend for a kitschy & unique ice cream experience.“

The location at Northgate is a bit hidden, but I was warmly greeted and assisted with my order once inside! They have so many flavors to choose from, and thus far I’d say the Mexican Chocolate and the Root Beer Float (photo of it attached) are my favorites! I definitely recommend stopping by to pick up a delicious treat! I was told they sell their popsicles at other various locations around the area, so I also suggest keeping your eyes peeled for them!“
