    Immediately upon trying a free sample I was hooked on the pistachio gelato. Tastes truly like Italian gelato without all the processed flavors. Order at the counter then pick up your ice cream. The small cup was plenty after dinner but if you want to share I would size up a cup. Ordered a few large macaroons to go and they have been perfect desserts at home. Absolutely obsessed with this gelato, we're going to be visiting far more frequently for it.

    First time trying it. Very rich and creamy! It was packed with people, took forever to order but I think it was worth it.

    I always save room for dessert so of course a stop at Amorino is necessary. This location has plenty of indoor and a few outdoor seats. I highly appreciate places that offer samples before ordering gelato and thankfully Amorino did just that. The staff member that helped me was patient and friendly. I went with the small on a cone and chose 3 flavors; Ecuador chocolate, pistachio, and strawberry. All very tasty! It's hard for me to give a gelato place in the US 5 stars only because I've had gelato in Italy. Sorry not sorry but Italy is the place for it lol. That being said, Amorino is still delicious that I do recommend it. I enjoyed how my sweet treat was crafted into a rose, very cute.

    Never been here before me and my friends want to come here so we decided to go. They've been here before I haven't, but the experience wasn't the best. Honestly one I think it's too expensive for what I got. I also thought they were gonna make my gelato or sorbet shall I say Into a flower and they didn't so... they just put it in there all willy-nilly and it was like eight dollars for this little thing. The staff act like they didn't wanna be there so that was kind of annoying but whatever. Was chill vibe on the inside. Also, I do wish they had some vegan flavors that were chocolate and not just fruit. Not sure if I'll come back but it's the first time for everything.

    Two stars go to the roasted peanut and single-origin chocolate flavors, which were solid, and to the staff, who offered samples that helped us decide what to order. Beyond that, the experience was confusing and underwhelming. The ordering process needs streamlining. When we walked in, two parties were already waiting near the gelato display. As we approached to look at flavors, a staff member redirected us to self-service kiosks towards the back of the store. The problem was that the kiosks neither showed nor allowed selection of flavors. We had to double back to the display, sample a few options with assistance from staff, and then return to the kiosks to place the order. During a busy period, this setup would create congestion and frustration for both customers and employees. A clearer flow would go a long way, whether by relocating kiosks closer to the entrance or integrating flavor selection into the ordering system. The portion size was the bigger letdown. The small cup looked reasonably full at first glance, but the bottom was hollow, making the serving far smaller than expected. I ate what seemed like my share based on the cup's height, only to realize there wasn't much beneath the surface, leaving my partner with very little. He referenced comedian Mitch Hedberg on the misleading cup design, and said it "robbed us of gelato," and called it a "clever gelato-saving technique." We understand that costs are rising, but this portion stood out as unusually small. Between the two of us, we've had gelato across the U.S. and in Italy, and this was the stingiest serving we've encountered--especially at nearly $10 after tax and tip. What should have been a simple treat ended up as a disappointment we will not repeat. We'd rather our hard-earned money go to small businesses that put intention and integrity at the forefront.

    I was in Chicago craving desserts and my friend told me about this place so I went. The gelato was good and the service was good, but I ordered the cup and it had little crunch beads in it and I didn't like it. Very cute place.

    With an environment that feels like an urban Italian gelateria, perfect lighting and ample seating... this shop is a perfect after dinner / post orchestra experience. The servers are kind and swift. The flower petal gelato presentation is world class. So, so beautiful. The gelato is good - not of the highest quality. If they could land that, and present macaroons that kept their ascetic integrity, then Amorino would earn a 5 star rating.

    The gelato is so yummy! It is hard to pick since the selection is vast. Every flavor I sampled was delicious. What makes this place even better is the STAFF!! Friendly, professional, patient (extremely packed)! I will definitely be back!

    Came into try Amorino's, and it was so delicious! All their flavors are made fresh in house. My friend and I sampled a lot of the flavors they had before landing on what we each picked. I got the hazelnut chocolate with the strawberry gelato and it was so beautifully presented. They have so many options and they're all so fresh and delicious. That Ecuadorian chocolate is another level too! Mateo and mikayla made our beautiful rose shaped cones! Mateo was so hospitable and knowledgeable too. We will definitely be back

    The gelato was delicious and looked great in the display. The entire place has a great feel to it, and is worth stopping in to just see in my opinion a bit pricey, but worth it. Friendly service too!

    Amorino is such a cute little café on Michigan Avenue in Chicago! The service was excellent, and the place has a really charming vibe. I wasn't a fan of the hot chocolate; it was a bit too thick for me, but my husband loved it, and I think most people would too. We shared a lemon tart that was really good. Overall, a great spot and a nice experience!

    It was super busy on a Saturday night. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the inside. They have comfortable places to sit, unfortunately you may or may not be able to sit in them. You order from 3 kiosks. We just got a classic gelato cup. You're able to pick as many flavors as you want. We did hazelnut, blueberry cheesecake, yogurt, and I forgot what the last one was. We also got a white chocolate and pistachio gianduiotto. It was very good. We had to stand and eat outside. Since there are not a lot of gelato places close by, this location will always be busy. Service was fine.

    Gelato Stir - Fulton Market's Hidden Gem If you're in Chicago's Fulton Market and craving gelato, Gelato Stir is the spot. I've tried plenty of places, and this one easily takes the crown. The flavors are rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced--never too sweet, never too heavy. The mint chocolate, Amorino-style chocolate, and dulce de leche were absolutely amazing. Each scoop is silky, authentic, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it makes the hype around Amorino feel overrated--Gelato Stir delivers on pure taste. The shop itself has a modern, welcoming vibe that fits perfectly into Fulton Market. Whether it's a quick stop or a night out, this is hands down the best gelato in Fulton Market--maybe even all of Chicago.

    If you get anything at all from here, make sure it's the wagyu skewer and tiramisu…read more It is the best tiramisu in Chicago!!! This was my fourth time at Monteverde and out of those visits, two were just for the tiramisu lol. Although this time I came mostly because I wanted their wagyu skewer and pesto pasta again because they were so delicious the last time. We came on a Thursday evening around 5:45 and we sat at the available bar seats. The only downside is it was the bar seats at the end which had no space to put my legs so I had to eat facing side ways. But I guess we got lucky because everyone who arrived after us had to be put on a waiting list for the bar. We've never had an issue getting a seat at the bar or waiting for a table. It gets crowded but service is incredibly quick so I wouldn't worry about the wait times. To start, we ordered the wagyu beef skewer and mozzarella shooters. The skewer is so tender and the flavors are perfect. We also were curious about the mozzarella shooters and ordered two because we thought they'd be small (we were wrong--they are much bigger than you'd expect lol). Personally, I didn't like it because I couldn't get past the thick texture of the liquid, but my boyfriend liked it and ate both. For pasta (which you can watch being handmade in the mirror if you sit at the bar!), I ordered the gnocchetti con pesto. I love how refreshing and light it is. It's the perfect dish to eat on a hot summer day. For a side, we chose the crispy yukon cold potatoes and they were definitely crispy!! And of course the tiramisu for dessert. You just can't leave without getting the tiramisu.

    Literally the cutest café. This was my favorite breakfast spot while visiting Chicago…read more The second I walked in, I was obsessed. The green and white color palette immediately reminded me of Ralph's Coffee. It felt classic and polished but still charming. Everyone working there had a smile on their face, and the warmth felt so genuine and comforting, especially first thing in the morning. They had such a huge selection of pastries and cakes that it was honestly hard to choose. I ended up getting the cake shaped like a cherry because it looked so interesting. It was a black cherry cake and I paired it with a cappuccino. It was the perfect combination. The cake was beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. We also ordered the breakfast burrito, which came with a small side salad. It was fine, but not the standout for me. If I came back, which I would, I would probably stick to the pastries and coffee and try more of their baked goods instead. Service was amazing. The ambience was adorable. I loved how all the silverware, plating, and dinnerware matched that perfect green tone. Every detail felt intentional. It was just perfect.

The food was really excellent, as was the service. But it was ridiculously priced. The reuben sandwich was $28. It was a great sandwich, very lean, but you could get a sandwich as good for half the cost elsewhere. They only have a couple of kid's items, but my friend requested buttered noodles for her kid rather than the cheesy noodles. I got the hibiscus drink and lavender lemonade, both non-alcoholic, and they were very good. My little one especially liked the hibiscus. And we ordered the appetizer of whipped ricotta and honey; my daughter liked this more than anything else we ordered. We didn't have dessert at the restaurant, but ordered to go. The pot of gold was really good. There were little "gold nuggets" on it and that was my daughter's favorite part; good thing since I didn't realize it had a layer with Bailey's in it. It was very rich, and the cauldron was really thick chocolate (and actually was a struggle to get into, a bit!). The restaurant is small but it didn't feel crowded. We never felt rushed or unwelcome, and we were there for a couple hours (longer than I realized; it took an unusually long time to make two reuben sandwiches). Their pastries are really nice but somewhat expensive, like the rest of the menu. It was a nice, sophisticated experience.
