With a strong Italian heritage, the Garden State makes a great destination for this joyous dessert…read more Gelato is the Italian word for "frozen" ice cream originally created in the 16th century. It came to the United States in 1770, is made with milk, typically does not include eggs, and has a dense texture from a slower churning speed than ice cream. Located on Market Street in Elmwood Park, my partner and I came to this family-operated establishment celebrating 25 years. Upon entering the cozy Four Seasons as first-timers, we were in the mood for some homemade gelato. There were a few classics one will find, such as chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, and stracciatella (vanilla with crunchy chocolate pieces), as well as pistachio, all written in Italian. They also feature hard ice cream, cakes, pastries, and coffee. We decided on a small chocolate and medium banana and sat outside at one of the two available tables. The texture was silkier and softer with a bold, intense flavor and authenticity. The price was comparable to the area. The young staff could have been a bit more sociable. We can recommend this place.

The small little shop filled with robust flavors and dozens of choices for you to enjoy from. I'd recommend anyone to taste the gelato. This place makes for a perfect dessert shop after a big meal since the portion sizes aren't too large and nothing is too overly sweet.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ PLENTY (32 at my count) of gelato flavors to choose from, from fruity sweet to savory. + Flavor sampling is available upon request. + Tropical Fruit gelato was verrry good and refreshing. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Pricey for the size of the gelato cups ($6.99 for just a small). - Employees were suppppper blah - no greetings and no verbal exchange whatsoever. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = As expected, busssssy on a Saturday evening at the mall. Constant foot traffic inside of this little gelato shop. = No tables or chairs inside, but there are tables set up outside of it.

Craved some frozen yogurt and came across this place via Yelp search..I thought it would be a fun…read moreexperience for my 5 year old who's never served frozen yogurt himself PLUS a choice of toppings. Initial thought of the place- bright and small. Not inviting people to stay with only two metal tables and 4 chairs at each table. Ice cream flavors were "meh" at most. Typical chocolate, vanilla, twist, coconut, cookies n cream, pistachio, and some pumpkin flavors for the season. Two kids "working" at the register - both on their phones with AirPods in. I wasn't sure if we served ourselves with the toppings since some of it I had to reach my hand further back to try and grab. Surprised I even needed anybody there to assist me with payment. Ice cream itself was mediocre. Frozen yogurt was whatever and not as creamy as I normally would've like it. Melted way too fast (maybe cuz it was toward the end of the night)? I wish I took a picture of everything but between two ice cream cups, coming out to $15, definitely wasn't worth the drive or the price.

There were so many issues! Walking in the music was super loud and not ice cream shop appropriate?…read moreI'd expect that music at a smoke shop not at an ice cream place. I looked at the menu board first, silly me should've looked at the ice cream they had through the window. They did not have one of the flavors that was listed on their menu board so I picked another one...didn't have it either. I went with their available options. I asked for the ice cream on a funnel cake. Went to pay and the system took a little bit of time to load so be patient. Then I saw him put a funnel cake in the mini oven, AGAIN silly me for thinking they would make the funnel cake fresh. He put some strawberry stuff on top which I didn't want. Sadly I threw the whole thing away, $10 wasted. It's a shame because the shop is nicely decorated I loved their ice cream wall. I won't be coming back that's for sure.

I do have to say, the dinner options are only okay. The chicken tenders were pretty basic, the broccoli bland, and the grilled chicken wrap was plain (but to be fair I asked for it without sauce which was a mistake on my part). There aren't really a lot of low cal options and what they do have are not very exciting. But oh man, the dessert was great. Come for just that. The Hunka Chunka PB Fudge Lava Cake was spectacular, plenty for sharing, and a really reasonable price. The peanut butter lava cake was unique and oozing with salty sweet goodness, piled on with ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. All the food was promptly delivered as were drink refills. So to sum up: come for the desserts, take or leave the entrees.
