A lovely little gem in the Washington Heights area, despite the coldness of gelato, every time I…read moresee that Cold Spoons is still open, it warms my heart! While not much to look at, and certainly not a place that anyone would consider "fancy," they are fancy where it counts: in the service and the quality of the food. Over the years, no matter who is on staff, they are always friendly and patient, even when I'm a bit more indecisive, or ask for a shake (if you can get a shake, always get a shake) which is more time-consuming. The last time we were there we totally hung out until a minute before closing and never did the person working glare at us or start sweeping our shoes with the broom, we got the hint all on our own!

Must try: Mini Flight!…read more Why: Chocolate Chip Cherry, Salted Caramel, Milk Cookie, and Berry Sorbet mini flight was a great way to sample multiple flavors. My favs were Milk Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cherry. Also love the mini sugar cone. You could get 4 mini cones if you want but I opted for just one since I had a large lunch. Notes: Location was a short walk from my hotel. After ordering, I took a walk towards the river to see the Harley-Davidson Museum from across the way. It was a beautiful sunny day so I enjoyed eating the ice cream peacefully while walking on the Hank Aaron Trail.

Probably a 3.5 on my first experience but I'll round up bc I didn't try too many flavors. I got a…read morewaffle cone with a single scoop of salted caramel. The ice cream was solid, good texture but not the best caramel I've had. I would still get it again. I tried the honey bee but it didn't have much flavor. They did have a promo for a free mini topper of the sunflower butter which was unique and tasty! The downfall was the waffle cone. They were homemade but somewhere mine was like soft and soggy... and not even the part touching the ice cream. Strange but maybe bc it's so hot?

Have been here several times before and have always enjoyed the Gelato. Stopped in after having…read morelunch down the street. The place has several small tables inside, and there are a couple of tables outside as well. Got greeted with a friendly smile by the two woman behind the counter. Let us take our time to order, and willing to have a friendly chat. They have a selection of Gelatos, Fruity Ice Creams, Cannolis and Ice Cream sandwiches. They make the gelato in small batches, so you are assured that they will be fresh. I got a medium dish with a couple of flavors, fudge brown and stracciatella (aka Romeo and Juliet). Our server did a great job of packing as much into that little dish as possible. Thanks! Since the dining room is small, it can get a little cramped or noisy. A definite go-to for a gelato treat.

The right atmosphere is here to sit alone to contemplate or read, or to chat with a friend or play a game of chess but ceramic espresso cups and saucers are a basic requirement. I'd like to see a couple more fruit flavor sorbets which do go well with espresso. Only disposable containers is not very classy, and the plastic isn't healthy for humans or the planet.

The open kitchen lets you see the craftsmanship that goes into every order, and the team is friendly, welcoming, and happy to interact with guests. Their passion for what they do really stands out. I definitely ordered more than I could finish, but it was worth it! I recommend enjoying the pizza at the restaurant since it's best fresh from the oven. Since this is an authentic Italian restaurant, they don't serve ranch with their pizza, which I completely understand. I personally love a good ranch with my pizza, but that's just my preference. The Caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and the pasta ball appetizer was delicious. Between the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere, and getting to watch everything come together, this was one of my favorite dining experiences in Milwaukee. I will definitely be back.

12/10 Absolutely a must go!…read more One of the only places willing to accommodate a larger reservation for my graduation dinner which was a huge plus. I was also excited to try this place because we have had Calderone club (same ownership) and we love it. This place exceeded expectations with a specialty of neopolitan pizza from a brick oven it truly is great! I would also recommend their cocktails which are just as good as the food. We also enjoyed their special pasta and the eggplant fries. Everyone was silent during dinner as they were busy enjoying. We also enjoyed our server who engaged with us entered great conversations and made tremendous recommendations. We loved the Friday night atmosphere as well make sure to grab a reservation.

Gelato is very good but just rubbed me the wrong way in customer service definitely not the same place.

They occupy a small corner of the Crossroads Collective Food Hall and while their options are small, they're mighty (in flavor). I got a scoop of the Door County brownie in a cup. My date got a scoop of the dirt cake in a cup. We switched half way through so that we each got half a scoop of each. I will mention, 'scoop' is deceptive. My scoop filled my entire cup. They're very generous with the scooping! The Door County brownie ice cream was chocolate ice cream with generous chunks of brownie, and, of course, Door County cherries. The dirt cake was chocolate ice cream with crushed oreos. They were both fantastic. The service was friendly and the prices are reasonable. Get to it!
