    Small cone. So pretty.
    Melanie S.

    So so busy. Much chaos. Really hard to hear everyone. The macaron were lovely, and the gelato so pretty.

    Amorino is the perfect spot for a sweet bite after dinner! The gelato was so good, and don't forget to add the macaron. Such a cute little treat to end the night.

    I fell in love with gelato in Milan and when I saw this place across the street from a ln awesome mexican taqueria, we had to stop in. Stracciatella and Dulce de Leche were my two flavors Super cute they do this rose with the gelato. I got the large and my eyes were definitely larger than my stomach. Tasted great and cant wait to come back. The worker was very friendly and welcoming. The inside was very cute, relaxing and welcoming too

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

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.

The interior had a major nostalgia factor, with every kind of retro, old-fashioned candy you could think of filling the space! I saw treats that I haven't seen in decades. As for the frozen treats, they're beautiful in their simplicity. This place is not Jeni's, and they're not trying to be. There were only three custard flavors with seemingly every kind of traditional candy, sundae, and fruit topping available. I heard great things about the concretes in particular and opted for the OMG, which was a peanut butter lover's dream! I ordered it with a swirled vanilla and chocolate custard base, and every bite had chunks of brownie bites and butterfinger pieces. The junior was plenty big and I felt like a pretty good value. If you're in the Edgewater area and craving a sweet treat, I highly recommend paying a visit to this shop regardless of the season!

It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
