"Good little place with outdoor balcony seating overlooking the river and the plaza below. Nice choices of ice cream and good friendly staff."

"Delicious treats, great for a nice cool treat on a warm day. Staff was nice and patient, and even gave us an extra little tasting spoon so our little one could try some as well. The line had a few people in it but the staff were quick to serve and keep things moving. Flavors were delicious, I enjoyed the espresso and cookies and creme and my wife had almond and pink grapefruit, all of which were enjoyed by all. Would definitely recommend if you're out for a stroll on the waterfront!"

"I loved this location and when we got off the boat tour I was so excited to get some gelato and have a view of the water. There was a big selection but employees weren’t super friendly and the gelato wasn’t as creamy as I like. The portions were big but I tossed half of mine"

"Very good Gelato. I got 2 scoops on a sugar cone and it was under $7! Great location in Georgetown Waterfront. You must go there for desert."

"Ignore most of bad reviews, most of those people who said they couldn't taste anything are probably suffering from long COVID. This place is pretty good and it's right next to the water. The sorbet and the gelato were both delicious. Just eat it quick under the sun, it melts fast."
