gelatiamo was a cozy hideaway spot from the crazy seattle wind and rain (someone had to be by the door to let people in and out). overall very vibey with a few tables to sit at! staff were friendly as well. for the smallest size, you can get two scoops of any flavor! the berries and cream flavor reminded me of the plain tart frozen yogurt flavor (but much creamier and a bit sweeter from the berries). the strawberry sorbet was also very good! you can taste the strawberries for sure. eggnog was an interesting flavor! i've never had actual eggnog before so i don't have a good comparison point but it was good and not overwhelming in any flavor profile. cookies and cream was good too :) read more

This dessert and pastry place is close by to Benaroya hall, so I would get here by public transit if you can. When you do walk in here, you feel like you're in a fine-dining like area with dim lights yet it also has the feel of a cafe where you can sit and relax with whatever you get. Since one of my friends knew I haven't been here before for desserts, he decided to take me and out other friends here to try their gelato for the first time. I got a scoop of their marionberry swirl and had a taste of my bestie's salted caramel gelato. Both were really good though my marionberry had a lot more taste and wasn't as sweet as the salted caramel. Staff up front were very patient with us when we asked to try several of their flavors at once. read more

I've taken cakes home from here, but never posted an evaluation. Those cakes factored into this rating. The ice cream is creamy and a split scoop (two types) is still a very generous portion. I was able to try a few before settling on my selection. Pistachio tasted exactly as it should, and the rice pudding ice cream was an unusual treat. Coffee was made perfectly. The raspberry cake was okay - a little sweet and a tad dry. Whipped cream would enhance the flavor and texture, so I was glad I ordered ice cream. On other occasions, I 've had their mille feuille cake which is phenomenal. Even picked up a whole one for Mother's Day. This brings the overall rating uo to a 4. Solid place and convenient location when walking around downtown. read more

Gelatiamo is a great stop if you're in the mood for gelato. I got the cappuccino gelato and really enjoyed it. The coffee flavor was rich without being overly sweet, and the texture was super smooth. The employee helping us was very friendly, she answered our questions and let us sample some flavors. There's a nice cozy vibe inside with a decent amount of seating, and the pastry case looked great as well. I'd definitely come back to try more, especially if I'm nearby. read more

What a great spot to drop into before checking out a concert at Benarpya Hall across the street. It's small and can get crowded but they have a nice selection of gelato and make a wonderful caffe con panna -- feels like the whipped cream was homemade. It's not always easy to find a good hot chocolate but my child finished theirs happily so we give a big thumbs up. Service was friendly, ambience a bit crowded before the show. read more

If you're looking for creamy gelato, daring flavors, and an overall phenomenal experience, Gelatiamo is the place for you. As the name suggests, Gelatiamo serves authentic Italian gelato, providing a perfect break for guests exploring the nearby Pike Place. I actually went here twice because it was so good, and I only got the gelato, but they also offer coffee, cakes, and other goods. I would certainly recommend the usual, safe flavors like the coconut and the mango. However, where Gelatiamo really shines is in its experiential selection. Namely, the fine matcha tastes freshly ground, slightly bitter, slightly sweet, as true matcha aficionados would appreciate. Definitely worth a try. The rice-flavored gelato was a pleasant surprise for me. I've had my fair share of rice in various forms but I've never had it in gelato. I was expecting something bland, boring, and disappointing, but it was instead light, creamy, and with a slightly sweet turn at the end. Overall, Gelatiamo is the perfect sweet treat for anyone in the area and totally worth the visit! read more

Wow. The moment I tasted the gelato here, I was impressed. Silky, smooth, flavorful. I sampled the rice pudding, crème brûlée, pistachio, and salted caramel and ultimately chose the rice pudding and pistachio for the 2 flavors for the regular cup. Regular cup was $5.95+tax and looks tiny but it is a very satisfying dessert. I'd say this is one of the best gelato spots I've tried so far. The pistachio has chunks of pistachio and is the real deal since it's a beige not green color. The rice pudding is subtly creamy and the rice is perfectly cooked - more chewy than soft to get an appetizing combination. This spot is located conveniently in downtown along bus lines and close to Pike Place for those visiting the more tourist spots, so it is convenient to check it out and enjoy high quality gelato! read more

I went to Gelatiamo with my friends yesterday. Staff told us that the mini cup comes with two flavors and the large cup three flavors. I chose the mini cup with orange cream flavor and rice (pudding) flavor. I usually don't get rice pudding but the staff told me it's the most popular so I wanted to find out how it tastes. The flavors were both good and I'm glad I got something citrusy and something creamy. It was a good size for one person too. The first responders were right outside the shop, seemingly trying to save someone on the ground, so the vibe was bleak. The shop is charming, it's just the location that makes it a little hard to visit. read more

So very happy finding this delicious business. I was hankering for ice cream and this was so much better. Loved that there were bakery items we took home with us. The business has limited seating inside this corner business. You can get cones or cups and I chose 3 scoops. This was truly a delicious experience. Service was fast once we got to the counter. The line is a minor inconvenience when you taste how fantastic the gelato is. What a treat for those that are local. read more

Good (but not great) gelateria at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Union street. Ambience inside was nice, with a clean industrial look and high ceilings. Service was prompt but transactional - not a single smile was bestowed upon us. Prices were reasonable, and my hazelnut gelato was good (but not great). The kids ordered without asking for samples because it didn't appear they offered any - neither of them finished their gelatos! They got my wife's order wrong but she didn't feel like complaining as the server looked unapproachable. Finally, there were some aggressive panhandlers hanging around outside and we didn't feel comfortable sitting outdoors. Won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM. My bestie and I have both walked by this spot a thousand times and harbored a shared desire to go in - we finally did! After lunch at Mendocino just up the block, we walked in here where it was quiet and sunny, a few small bistro tables, and outdoor seating available. I got stalled immediately by the array of packaged treats, coffee, and merch on the shelves, as well as the cakes behind the glass. Finally remembered we were there for gelato and wooooowwww, what a layout of mouth-watering options. I chose purely by what I visually thought was the coolest looking lol. Ended up with salted caramel and chocolate (you get TWO FLAVORS even in the tiniest size - how cool is that???). Also got an espresso (nice to see the actual Italian names on the menu!) and some cookies to go. It wasn't very busy at the time, one customer every few moments. The attendant behind the counter was friendly and efficient. I just love the smoothness of gelato and I did put some in my espresso - YUM. read more

What's not to love about gelato on a hot summer day? The gelato here is creamy and has a good variety of flavors.

Plenty of seating indoors to enjoy your dessert. Great pitstop in downtown! read more

We visited here a year ago in our last pre-cruise Seattle visit. I remembered the gelato being very good. I have had gelato all over Europe, many, many times. I love gelato and tend to over dose every time we are in Europe. Sadly this was not as good as the last time we were there. Maybe I should have gotten a clue whether label stracciatella as "chocolate chip." Sadly, the ice cream was as Americanized as the name. The ice cream had a kind of sticky texture, not quite as bad as Cold Stone but along that line. The place was jammed all the time we were there so other people seem to like it. read more

OMG!! I was waiting for my bus and saw this place across the street. I've never been to a Gelatiamos before. It was 90 degrees outside and I thought a cool treat was in order. I ordered a grande cup and at first thought I would just get mango. The nice girl behind the counter asked if I would like three different scoops. I immediately went into search mode to see what might go well together. I got a scoop each of mango, yogurt with berries and chocolate chip. I'm not much of a gelato expert but WOW did those three compliment each other nicely. It was an amazing way to get out of the heat (air-conditioning in the store) and enjoy a cool treat. I will now have to find one of these closer to where I live. read more

How have we never eaten here? We were walking home from an afternoon symphony and stopped in for a treat. The customer service here is very efficient and pleasant. The young woman was kind and fast and got us in and out. I had gelato (hazelnut and coffee) and boo had chocolate and coffee. All our flavors were delicious and we also chose some macaroons to go. Prices are reasonable and the products are amazing. Now I know why this place has been here for 30 years, they have the formula DOWN. Cute restaurant too, we'd have stayed if we were on our way elsewhere. read more

- Lovely spot for a quick rest - Food: 4 stars Price: 3 stars Service: 2 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Overall: 3.25 stars We got a two-scoop affogato here with creme brulee and rice flavors. I can't taste the creme brulee that well with the coffee but the rice flavor was delicious with grains of rice there. It's a good resting spot next to Pike Place Market since it's not too crowded regardless of how busy it is at the market. Our two scoops affogato was $7.66 after tax. It was pricy, but it's like this everywhere else. You can sample the flavors too, but we weren't offered to sample anything *shrugs* (hence the 2 stars for service). read more

Delicious Italian style gelato. The Crème brûlée was perfect. Creamy and not too sweet. I also indulged in a Diplomat pastry, which was just ok. I would come back for gelato, not pastry. Service was friendly and helpful. read more

I've been meaning to come here but every time I forget that they close quite early. This time however, I managed to make it before closing hour, and there was still quite a long line inside. Upon reading the reviews I knew I had to try the rice gelato since it was so unique, and I also had to get my favorite classic flavor, pistachio. I was able to choose 2 flavors in a single scoop which was nice, and the portion size was definitely generous. The texture and flavor of the gelato was absolutely spot on! Super creamy, smooth, and pure tasting. I loved the nuttiness of the pistachio and how there were little bits of the nut inside. The rice flavor was quite unique and unlike anything I've really had before, and even had small chewy grains of rice inside. So rich and creamy that I couldn't really finish it all, but a great try! I would definitely be here more often if they didn't close so late, but I'd highly recommend trying this spot for some delicious gelato! read more

What a gem! I popped in and ordered the pistachio gelato, raspberry sorbet and a slice of tiramisu cake, and all three were outstanding. The pistachio had that rich, nutty depth you only find in truly authentic gelato--it instantly brought back memories of Italy. The tiramisu was equally impressive, with bold, layered flavors and what tasted like a hint of bourbon or whiskey for an extra kick. Everything was beautifully balanced and thoughtfully made. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Incredible gelato, so many flavors to choose from. The flavors are delicious and the texture is so creamy. The owner/manager even gave us an ice cream sandwich to try which was so nice and it was amazing. We are only here for 3 days but we are talking about going back every day. The location is right on the corner so it's convenient to get to. And the inside is so nice, a decent amount of tables. Very relaxing feel.

Came here during a visit to Seattle. Opted for the pistachio gelato, which was very good, but it was very steep. I only wanted a light snack so I got the kid's scoop (not on the menu), and this tiny scoop came out to be over $5... The service was ok. There is plenty of seating. read more

This was tasty!! Quick to be served and a good amount of flavor options. I loved the chocolate and my mom loved the lemon!!

Very disappointed. I've had Whole Foods Tiramisu that taste better than this. It didn't taste like it had mascarpone cheese. It tasted dry inside. It tasted like whipped cream only. A cheap way to make it and this is an Italian Ice Cream shop. My Tiramisu taste 20 times better and more decadent. I thought there would be something more special and unique with an Italian store tiramisu. Their Gelato was very good though. I had the mint chocolate, rice, and caramel something. That was the saving grace. read more

Gelatiamo always hits the spot with me for Gelato! It is one of my favorite spots in Seattle. I really enjoy Gelatiamo a lot. I enjoy all of their flavors. I have been there multiple times. I especially love their chocolate flavor. It is really good, creamy, and has great Gelato texture. It is a very small establishment, so seating is limited. Make sure you are prepared for that. During the summer tourist months, it is very busy and there can often be a line out of the door. The employees have always been nice to me, and I have no complaints. You can get a bowl or a cone, and there are limited options that you can add on top. Overall, I highly recommend Gelatiamo if you are craving good Gelato! read more

This was a very unexpected find. We were looking for a restroom as my child had the sudden urgency to go. Boy, am I glad we found this place. It's a cute gelato shop that serves coffee as well. We ordered an espresso and gelatos for the kiddos. They had a wide variety of flavors and will also let you sample if you're indecisive, like me. The service was friendly and the place seems like it was owned by a mom and pop. I highly recommend if you're in the area and want something sweet- you won't regret it! read more

Diamond in the rough. I have passed by Gelatiamo at least 100 times, as it's on my route to work. Because of its unfortunate location at 3rd and Union, across from the post office and Benaroya Hall, a block from the stabby corner, with meth heads aplenty in the vicinity, I had never stopped to go in. I'm usually in a rush to get away from the area. I decided to give it a try when searching for an ice cream cake for my birthday. I wanted to try the gelato before springing for a whole gelato cake, so my boyfriend and I stopped by on a Friday before dinner. Having lived in Europe and eaten a very ridiculous amount of gelato in Italy, I'm something of a gelato snob. Any gelato snob will know the first potential indicator of quality is the color of the pistachio gelato. If it's green, you know they're using a lot of artificial flavors and colors and the place can't possibly be good. At Gelatiamo, the pistachio flavor was brown. I got a small with the pistachio and rice flavors, and both were heavenly. The rice was like a rice pudding, not super sweet, just right. My boyfriend and I shared it. It was so good that he wanted to stop by again AFTER dinner. He got the cookies and cream and the peanut butter cup. Cookies and cream was his favorite. It was a homemade Italian cookie, not an Oreo, and he described it as something between a cookie and a brownie. He said he'd never tasted anything like it. I inquired about the ice cream cakes. On the website, they had individual gelato cakes, but it looks like they stopped making those when COVID hit. They had 6" tiramisu gelato cake and another flavor in 10", and they require several days advanced notice for a custom order. I needed something for Sunday, and I wasn't sure about the tiramisu flavor, so I decided to sleep on it. The next morning, I woke up with Gelatiamo on the brain. I needed that gelato cake. I returned and got myself a decaf affogato (yes they do decaf!) with hazelnut gelato. It was so smooth and heavenly. I've had a lot of affogatos where the textures turn weird when it melts into the coffee. This one melted beautifully like cream and blended perfectly with the flavors. I can only guess this is because they require fewer stabilizers and preservatives since they make everything onsite. I left with a 6" tiramisu gelato cake. I wasn't thrilled that this was the only flavor, because I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to tiramisu, but it was great. My friends and I had a couple of pieces left over, and my Italian friend (real Italian immigrant with an accent and everything who had made a lasagna from scratch earlier in the day) loved it so much that he insisted on taking the leftovers. I will definitely plan better in the future so I can make a custom cake, but it really was a huge hit and easily in the top two ice cream cakes of my life. Flavors and textures were excellent, and the decorations were beautiful and delicious. I will add that service was fantastic and prices were VERY reasonable for Seattle. Yes, $37.50 for a 6" cake may feel like a lot for some people, but it's quite reasonable. They are paying Seattle rent and making EVERYTHING from scratch from high quality ingredients. They literally make the cakes and ice cream in the basement of this facility. Also, I got the same size ice cream cake at a different local ice cream shop for $70. Gelatiamo was half the price. Go there now, please support local businesses. I would hate to see a place like this disappear and be replaced with another chain restaurant. read more
