Although it is not yet the season for frozen treats in Chicago, "Frio Gelato" is open for parents with munchkin like us. Our kids love sweet treats and they are always looking forward to stopping one on the way home after some playtime.
Flavor choices at "Frio Gelato" are great, ranging from anything chocolate to anything fruity. Our younger one likes anything berries, so he immediately picked out mixed berries and strawberry. One of my personal favorites is "tramontana," which is a popular Argentine gelato flavor featuring creamy fior di latte with dulce de Leche. The profile is rich, so get a cup of Americano standby.
There are some beverage offerings on the menu. For "cafe-lato," one can request a choice of gelato to be blended in with the latte. The shop itself is clean and spacious with a few tables. Every time we came in, we were the only dine-in patrons so our kids exciting, loud speaking didn't bother too many people (except the very friendly staff...lol). I bet this place will be super popular during summer when people are hanging out on Central Ave. here in Wilmette.
Parking is convenient and street parking can be found nearby. read more
