Our server never checked on us we had to find another server to let them know. She also never returned so we could not get refills on our drinks. She returned to offer us cheese but after 3 of the 4 of us had finished our meals. However, we had reservations and arrived early and they were able to seat us in a comfortable corner where we got to enjoy our conversation. Again, our past experiences have been positive and so we will not let one bad evening stop us from returning.

As Tecora has stated, who would have thought downtown Buckeye would have such wonderful shops such…read moreas The Gelato Tavern?! The Gelato variety is amazing, and I had a mixed-berry. Sinful, with berry pieces in it. I kidded with Joe, the owner (see the photos) that his store looks like an escapee from Scottsdale, without Scottsdale prices. He laughed. There are so many other fun things you can buy there. Joe's so incredibly friendly, and he gave me a sample to try. There's more seating, lots of it, than the pictures imply. It's all beautifully decorated, so you'll enjoy the experience for more than just the gelato. Wherever you dine in the Buckeye area, leave room and stop over at The Gelato Tavern for a fun and incredibly tasty experience! And go next door to Barbon Asadero for a wonderful Mexican lunch or dinner. We dined there first, and had gelato for dessert. As I said, leave room for a gelato dessert wherever you dine!

This place is awesome and located in the perfect spot! My wife wanted to go for a drive from PHX so…read morewe headed this way to go look at that big statue no one talks about. As soon as we got there I googled "ice cream near me" and this location popped up! The lady working was extremely nice and helped me decide what to get, letting me "over sample" all the samples. They had a variety of flavors and sorbets. I liked the vibe and the couch, I just wish it was busier. Overall, a fun little mini trip outside the city, and a reminder that these ice cream shops can be well priced! We're not use to these below average prices (compared to PHX)!

Funny enough, my sister & I were watching Nonnas & the first ten minutes made us want the pastries…read more So, we stopped to think where could we get a pastry? I remembered this place. It happened to be a little under twenty minutes away from us so we decided let's do it & they were open late. Hell yeah. There's not a crazy amount of pastries but the selection was great. We got two tiramisus, one vanilla custard lobster tail, some mini cannolis, & the wedding cookies. Everything came out to about $50 so beware, prices aren't exactly cheap. But for one, if you're going to do "bad" then do it right & we also shared with our family of 5 so plenty to go around. & Holy cow, everything was incredible. So indulgent, decadent & rich in flavor. My nephews liked the cannolis, personally they're not my favorite, but if you're into it the mini's are a great option to quench the craving. The lobster tail with the vanilla custard took me by surprise. I didn't think I was going to care for it, but the cold custard was refreshing & the flakiness of the bread was crazy, my taster buds were confused by the textures, but in the best way. They complemented each other well. My ultimate favorite was the tiramisu & the wedding cookies. I honestly wish I had gotten more of the wedding cookies, those things took me back. I grew up eating the Mexican ones & the Italians did it right *applause* But damn, the tiramisu was to die for. I would order that again & again. Perfectly chilled, the dusting of the cocoa powder didn't taste like nesquik--incredible. At first the price had me thinking if we were doing too much, like damn, should we have just gone to Sprouts bakery? But after being able to indulge in a great quality dessert, it was worth every dollar. My only feedback, careful when you're paying at the register. If you're not paying attention, the tip automatically defaults to 18% on the tablet. Only thing I didn't care for. I could see if I was eating at the restaurant, but I just popped in to take pastries to go. So, that was kind of annoying. The service was fine, the girl that helped me was nice, but again I just pointed at desserts I wanted & went home. The location is part of the main restaurant, but it has its own entrance & little room making it feel separate to the Sicilian Butcher. They also carry gelato which I haven't tried yet. I believe they have little tables to sit at also. Highly recommend checking this out so save room for dessert!

I finally got the one that is daily up for grans, and I was so excited! My sister and I can't figure out why there's only one bag per day, but it's very coveted so we were excited to see what was actually inside! We walked in to the bakery with the intention of ordering more treats, in addition to what was in the too good to go surprise. When we walked in, it was 10:05, and they closed at 10:30. They had already put away half of their gelato and baked goods in the cabinet. I understand closing time is at 10:30, but if you still have almost half an hour left, I'm sure there are customers that are gonna come in and buy things. There were three parties of people that walked in while we were in there and then sitting out on the really nice patio. There is a little bit of seating inside, but the patio was very nice and there was plenty of seating out there too. The vibe is super cute, and I love the decor. Hopefully next time we go back, we can actually try things because they won't be put away!

We tried two different flavors and I have to say that both of mine were delicious--really hard to pick which one is better! I went with the chocolate peanut butter cup and the dark chocolate, the two really complimenting each other very well. After hearing the backstory of the family that started the business, I would definitely put Cimmino alongside some of the gelato that I tried in Italy. Staff was friendly and while the space is unassuming, it was a perfectly fine place to hang out until venturing out into the desert heat. So why four stars instead of five? They don't do shakes and that's always my favorite way to enjoy gelato.

The gelato choices are plentiful and delicious, even if the prices aren't super cheap. But you get great quality, and you can't go wrong with most flavors, so just choose something that appeals to you. I've been to a number of gelato shops over the years, and I saw flavors here I had never seen before. They will let you taste as many of them as you'd like, and a variety of sizes are available, with the ability to have more than one flavor in a serving for most sizes. The ambience is Old World Italy with several indoor tables, and service was super friendly. It's a perfect summer snack or dessert spot and a great stop on date night. :)
