Simply, some of the best gelato I've ever had! My wife had been coming here for years and I can't believe I hadn't eaten here before! If you are in the neighborhood and need some good, old-fashioned, creamy gelato, look no further. Paolo's will not disappoint. They're flavors change frequently, so coming back another day will lend to a new experience! The inside is cozy and feels warm and inviting. Make sure this is on your list when in Charleston!

Family stopped for dessert on the way back to our hotel and both the service and the quality of the various dishes were excellent. The young lady working was very helpful and patient.

The best gelato and cannoli’s! Also, he sells biscotti (and a variety of other authentic Italian items)that is out of this world!!! We had the pleasure of getting to chat with the owner. He was so pleasant and hospitable. We will definitely be back every time we come to Charleston. Thank you Paolo for a great conversation and superb desert experience.

Wonderful little shop with phenomenal cappuccino. My husband and I visited last weekend, got to chat with the owner and it was really a highlight of our night. Highly recommend!!

Authentic Italy ... I cannot express how lovely this place is. Be sure to stop by for a charcuterie board ... not on the menu but amazing! Allow Paolo to make his evening special! Do not miss this place!

My wife and I were visiting Charleston as we’re getting ready to move to the area from NY. We just spent the day exploring the city, checking out the parks and the food (if they were open, which if they were, it was all takeout - friggin Covid). As we were getting ready to leave, we wanted to grab a coffee for the road, but every place we went to was closed. We accidentally stumbled onto Paolo’s place. We were greeted by Paolo himself. Paolo is an awesome guy who takes pride in the work and the service that he provides. The espresso was perfect. Not bitter, not sour. The tiramisu that he had just made was spot on. And Paolo himself was just an awesome guy to talk to. Super friendly and outgoing, and eager to talk to customers as people, not just as customers. When we move to the area, we already have a go-to place picked out. Highly recommend Paolo’s Gelato and Goumet to anyone. Now I tell anyone that I know who’s going to be in the Charleston SC area, make sure you don’t leave without going to visit Paolo’s place first.

Unreal Gelato. Brings back memories of Italy. But the place is more than just Gelato. Great selection of Italian pastas, sauces, beer and wine. If you need anything related to Italian cuisine, stop by and check them out. Also, extremely nice and helpful staff.

Paolo is an awesome guy. Very passionate in what he does, and does it the very best. My wife and I just happened to stumble upon his place accidentally, and it turned out to be one of our favorite places. Now, we will make sure to seek him out on purpose every time we’re in the area.
