    Medium gelato with a cookie
    Jen P.

    The gelato was delicious! A stop on a road trip. We had been once before and sought out coming back. Was sad when yelp said closed on Mondays but so happy to when we walked by after lunch and saw it was open! Service was fast and friendly. Cute indoor or outdoor seating. Next time will try the crepes.

    Pros: Great location in downtown Delaware - very walkable Friendly, knowledgeable staff Fun decor Fantastic homemade gelato You can get a couple of different flavors Gelato is creamy and delicious They also have hot coffee, iced mocha and teas, and espresso Cons: There were only about 10 flavors of gelato or so. I was hoping for a coffee flavor, but they didn't have anything. Prices are a bit high - small $5.50, medium $7.50, large $9, but worth it since they make the gelato in-house Pro tip: Stop in after dinner in downtown Delaware. They have cannoli and baklava too if you don't want a gelato.

    Ukraine Freedom gelato.

    Always great service from the owners. Best gelato! Tonight I loved their support for Ukraine with their special flavor! Only unfortunate thing has been the discontinuation of the 8 sisters bakery products. 8 Sisters can no longer do wholesale so they had to switch to der dutchman which honestly just isn't as good. Threw away my blueberry fritter tonight which I never do. Hope they find a replacement soon.

    I think this place is known for their gelato and coffee but I needed a quick lunch and saw the sign for "panini" - it was so good! Like, I realize this is just a sandwich but it really did taste like every ingredient was freshly made, like it does in Italy! They are cold in the case and then they toast it in their press and I did not expect so much flavor. Yum!

    Ciao cafe is on the corner of N Sandusky and William street in Deleware. Quiche spinach & Fetta was amazing. Loved the white mocha also. They have gelatos, warm and cold drinks, muffins and macaroons. Outdoor and indoor seating. I would highly recommend Ciao Cafe.

    Wild Berry Sorbet
    Steve A.

    Ciao Cafe has really good gelato and sorbet. It might be the best ice cream in Delaware. They aren't usually busy though. It usually only has you or a couple of other people in it. The staff is helpful in choosing a selection. It has a good selection of flavors. A few change all the time. There's a few sorbettos and these are vegan. I had the wild berry. It's about $6 for a cup. This is a moderate price considering quality. It was a pretty long lasting conversation. They don't pay enough for anyone good to work here. I could get something from here again. It has good vegan options. The sorbettos usually comes in several vegan flavors for you.

    Nutella crêpe with strawberries

    Right downtown delaware is the Ciao café! They offer delicious Gelato, coffee and baked goods. My personal favorite are their nutella crêpes! The staff is nice, and put a lot of effort in their work. Their coffee is also delicious.

    What a fun addition to downtown Delaware! We went on Friday night to get gelato after dinner and it was delicious. They had tons of choices and the staff let us sample as many as we liked. We got gelato but I think this place offers tons more like baked goods, coffee, drinks, an overall good assortment of items. It is slightly pricey for ice cream, but keep in mind this is a richer, most delightful experience then just your regular ice cream place. The medium was $6 and the small was $4.50. It would be a great place to sit down with friends or go and get some work done here by yourself!

    Crepes! This one has Nutella and strawberry jelly donut with cream cheese icing in it!!! Yummy

    See all
