    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.

So...not sure the food is good. I just happen to think the attitude is a little worse. Came with a group and someone in our party ordered the French Onion Soup and then a Croque Monsieur. No one else in our group ordered a starter. What's weird is for some reason they decided to course the soup with everyone's mains. Normal restaurants, including like....your local suburban Chile's, know not to do that but this place thought that was normal. So already, my friend is a course behind everyone because they didn't serve his starter first. What's worse is when he finishes his soup...he doesn't get his main. We actually FINISH our mains and he still hasn't gotten his. He makes a comment VERY NICELY to our waitress like hey! Just wanted to check on my meal! She responds, "all our meals are timed perfectly." What!! My buddy goes, "Okay...I've just been waiting for 15/20 minutes so I think I'm ready for my sandwich." She responds, "okay....let me alert the kitchen." Wait? You didn't even tell them he needed his meal?? We wait another 15 minutes. We flag the waitress again and ask where his meal is and she responds "everything is made to order so the kitchen needs some time." Okay. This is a Croque Monsieur. Are you....rising bread right now? What is happening? So I get frustrated and jump into this and say, "Ya but we've been waiting over 30 minutes for his main. We've all finished so now you're asking my friend to eat alone." She responds, "everything is served hot so what is the problem??" !! I get annoyed because up until this moment, we've been pretty nice. But this waitress not acknowledging any issue or trying to make it better and talking back to us like this is weird. So I just say, "Bring a manager over." Well...it didn't matter. This lady learned her attitude from somewhere and it was probably from the manager. The manager immediately is on the offense like, "you ordered a soup and we wanted you to have the soup hot. And we want your next meal to be hot. We make everything fresh and we clean our dishes in between." The heck? All we want is for my friend to be able to eat his main. So I say, now rudely, "just bring the food. We have waited 30 minutes now. Everyone is done with their meal. If you haven't made it, cancel the order and we'll go somewhere else." She responds, "we usually serve the starter first. If you didn't like that, then don't order a starter." SERIOUSLY!? What is happening!? I think about telling her that USUALLY even if only 1 person has ordered a starter, that gets served first before EVERYONE gets their mains TOGETHER. Instead I say, "listen, cancel the order or give us the food but we aren't waiting any longer." And she goes, "we can't cancel it. The kitchen has been working on it." So I say "this better be home baked bread because they've been working on it for 45 minutes by now." IT STILL takes another 5 minutes to get this meal. It is cold. It is an average Croque Monsieur. And they probably all spit in it. At the very end, the waitress comes over and says, "I see what you mean and there were coursing issues but we take pride in our food and we weren't going to degrade that so we could serve you faster." This place literally lives up to a Parisian stereotype, I guess.

    Overall, I did not enjoy this strange turn from Italian food I am used to. I am not sure if this…read moreplace is a fusion restaurant with another culture because the food that I was expecting to be Italian was not giving Italy. Typical bruschetta you see has tomato, which was what I was hoping for when I ordered it, but there were no tomatoes at all. Instead, there were green peas, and a whole lot of cheeses on top consisting of whipped ricotta cheese. The taste made me regret getting the bruschetta, which I usually love. And the gnocchi dish... don't even get me started. The texture made me think I was eating raw dough from my baking sessions. It looked promising when the dish first came out, but the mozzarella cheese on top was chewier than the gnocchi itself. The gnocchi would just become a strange mash when poked with by my fork. The gnocchi was overcooked which resulted in a mushy paste when it should have been pillowy and have a slight resistance when bitten into. Maybe their other foods may have been good, but the combo I got was not filling. I barely touched the gnocchi.

First, I explored the endless snack aisles and selected a bag of chocolate-hazelnut biscuits to take home. I couldn't resist the gelato and tried the pistachio flavor (yum!) On my next visit to Eataly a couple of days later, I ordered a cappuccino, and while my beverage took a long time to prepare, the espresso tasted very high quality. The pastries looked stunning and decadent, and I imagine they'd pair wonderfully with espresso if you have time to linger at the cafe (I was in a hurry to get to a work meeting). The next day, my team and I visited Eataly's restaurant for lunch. I selected the anchovy toast as my starter and the gnocchi for my main as part of the lunch special. The toast consisted of two slices of sourdough bread topped with creamy lemon spread and anchovies. The contrast of the bright lemon flavor with the ultra-salty anchovies was tempered by the creamy butter - these all paired together quite well. The gnocchi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The gnocchi was much too soft (it had the texture of mashed potatoes), and the red sauce was bland. All in all, visiting Eataly was a cool way to experience gourmet Italian food.
