Is it ice cream? Is it junk? You decide! (I'm telling you: it's not worth eating.)

Terrible ice cream combined with rude service from Fior.As soon as she started scooping the half melted ice cream, we were regretting our decision to order a sundae

Coffee and pistachio are my favorite dessert flavors. Cappuccino was not bitter or intense enough - very sweet. Pistachio was pretty good but needed more nuts. Both needed some salt. Texture is amazing and I enjoyed taking it back to eat cozied up in front of the TV.

Decent amount of gelato for a fair price :)

This little Gelato shop is located at the Lowes Portofino Bay hotel at Universal! They have a variety of flavors you can choose from including drinks and candy bars! If you are unsure about a flavor you can try it first and you can get two different flavors! I got a small cup with Birthday Cake and Caramel Cookie! I definitely recommend these two flavors. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars out of 5 is because I also bought a water bottle and it cost me $7.50, now I completely understand that this is a tourist place but $7.50 for a water bottle is absolutely outrageous.

Cheap AF for a resort place.

It was ice cream, not gelato. It was very icy. Chips of ice would come with every bite. Very faint flavors with some of the gelato ice cream flavors. Favorite part was the waffle cone.

Good gelato. Happy hour is around 2-4ish and gets you a bigger size for the price of a smaller.

Online prices are completely wrong and this ain’t good quality gelato if it’s even considered real gelato..
Tried, pistachio, lemon and mint chocolate chip. All were excellent and reminded us of past visits to Italy. Bravo.

Gelateria Caffe Espresso is a gelato spot at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel within Universal. It's one of the few sweet shops located onsite at the hotels. There is a wide variety of Gelato flavors inside the Gelateria. It's located right next to Starbucks. There are other options that you can select from inside the Gelateria such as candy bars, cereals and much more! If you're looking for a amazing Gelato place, you should check out Gelateria Caffe Espresso. There are plenty of different and unique gelato flavors, but limited, to choose from. You can also sit outside at the tables and get amazing views of the Loews Portofino Bay Plaza/Bay area.

This is one of my favorite spots for gelato. I was a little wary beforehand. I had mixed expectations because it had to be high quality for its location, but it also shared the room with a Starbucks. The price was decent, getting two scoops inside the small size cup. The gelato itself was very creamy and the flavors came through very well.

We had some gelato after finishing lunch on the way walking to the hotel, they have the best chocolate gelato.
