Inside

Love, love, love DeLuca Gelato! We've had it at local restaurants and by the pint at a few RVA restaurants though somehow missed there was a physical location where you can see and try dozens (approximately 50) of intriguing flavors! Oh my, walking in was like going to Disneyland! They have Sorbetto, Gelato, and Gelato with nuts all clearly labeled by color in the case, all made with fresh ingredients and NO corn syrup. Plenty of dairy free and nut free options They also offer Milkshakes, Smoothies, and Frappecaffe - gelato blended with Italian coffee. AND Affogato - a scoop of gelato "drowned" in espresso! They make their cones on site too! Ambiance is bright, cheerful and inviting Service was outstanding!!!!!! Plenty of seating inside and outside Generous portion size Cutest little gelato spoon :) My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

Delicate Gelato is an adorable gelato shop and so many delicious flavors! Choose your size cup or cone and fill it with any of their delicious flavors. I love the Amaretto, Cookies & Cream , and Biscoff Cookie flavors. However, with choices like Chocolate Hazelnut, Cookie Dough, and Dark Chocolate, you cannot go wrong. The sweet spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy where you please depending on the weather. It's really nice to enjoy your gelato on one of their outdoor tables during the spring & summer months.

As soon as you walk in the amazing smells hit you of freshly made waffle cones and you can see the gelato being made in the back they have SO many flavors and also flavors for vegan or lactose free ! The ice cream is amazing this is one of Richmond's best kept secrets! You are treated like family ;))

7 sample platter

We were trying flavors for an event, so we got three sample platters which are $9 each. They have a lot of flavors to try. I would say the flavors are hit or miss, but the ones that are good are very solid. My favorites include white chocolate raspberry, raspberry sorbet, watermelon sorbet, tiramisu, chocolate, biscoff, and oreo. The staff was soo friendly and even pointed out the 7 sample platter.

I believe this is the best gelato shop in the Richmond area. Authentic consistency with tons of different flavors to choose from. They use real ingredients so everything is bursting with flavor. The shop is located in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. The staff and management are super friendly and patient. The shop is very comfortable with plenty of seating. They make homemade cones and the shops smells of the cones baking when you walk in.

Biscoff & chocolate hazelnut gelato!

I was extremely eager to give this place a try since I LOVE gelato. The gelato itself was good they have so many flavors, but apparently than one man working thought 2 samples was too many because when I asked for another one he did the most dramatic sigh & eye roll ever. I almost walked out with getting anything. When we came in he expected us to already know exactly what flavors we wanted. No welcome in or suggestions.. just "hurry up, pay, & get out" vibes. I've read other reviews about a rude man there from 5 & even 10 years ago, & I'm definitely wondering if it was the same guy. He made it seem like we were such a burden going in there & we were disturbing him. Other than that the place was cute, with lovely Italian murals on the wall, & the prices were reasonable. Furthermore my friend got the waffle cone & it was great. Customer service can really make or break a place & it was just awful in this case.

Good option for dairy-free / vegan ice cream. The staff were extremely kind and helpful when we…read moretold them we were vegan and even let us try the two options before we selected their dairy-free peppermint patty. When we asked if their cones were vegan, they also brought out their ingredients book to confirm which options we could have (their cake cones and sugar cones are vegan btw lol). Super nice and we really appreciated the extra support. Ambience-wise, there's no seating indoors or outdoors, but it's very clean and bright - definitely well-kept and busy. Overall, pretty good and a thumbs up from me :)

This is my first time to the Richmond shop. Took the kids up to DC many years ago to try out the…read moreone there before it came to Richmond and remember really liking the brown butter almond brittle. The Richmond shop is bright and airy and the service is very friendly. I like how they're very open to giving you samples and not making you feel bad about it. At least on my trip. My family and I ordered the salted peanut with chocolate flecks (which I thought was good but needed more chocolate), Texas sheet cake (which I think is the dairy free version of the chocolate blackout cake. I didn't realize it was dairy free so I picked it thinking you could taste the chocolate more but I think most of us preferred the chocolate blackout cake) green mint chip (which was very good and my daughter smartly combine this with the chocolate blackout cake. Salted peanut butter would've been good with the CBC as well ) and double dough which was pretty awesome. I'm actually normally not a cookie dough ice cream fan because I prefer the cookie but I thought this was done very well. My only disappointment was that they did not have any kind of coffee flavor, which is my go to for most ice cream stores besides the classic chocolate, peanut butter and mint chip. It would be nice if they had some indoor seating. I feel like there is potential for it. As for parking- it's on Cary so it's a crapshoot.
