    This gelato shop is tucked off the side of a building on Milwaukee. As you walk up, you'll see cute outdoor seating and a dog bowl, so they are dog friendly! They didn't have many selections as a typical gelato shop, but I did overhear them saying their flavors change weekly. I wasn't interested in any of the flavors they had currently so I tried a pistachio gelato bar and it wasn't bad. My husband had an affogato with vanilla gelato which he enjoyed very much. They have games available, which was nice to keep my children entertained. They also had a cute kids' table indoors. It didn't look like they had a restroom, and that's unfortunate because I desperately needed to wash my hands after my toddler ate a blue birthday cake gelato!

    Best ice cream bars! They have so many combos, my favorite being the oreo and mint one. Accessing this shop is a little difficult as there isn't a close crosswalk if you're driving on the other side of the road.

    Small business with great quality gelato. Always greeted with a smile and great neighborhood spot for the family. Small outdoor seating for pets.

    Mayan Chocolate, Mexican Vanilla, and Mascarpone. The triple play of gelato.

    Homemade Gelato, Gelato bars to go. Very fair inexpensive prices considering what your getting. Family owned,small business,local. Just had the Mayan chocolate, Mexican vanilla and Mascarpone gelato and 5 stars is an understatement. Try this place and you will fall in Love with it. Good to go by yourself,with a friend; perfect date dessert spot and they're going to have panini sandwiches and soup just in time for fall and winter. Right next to the Kennedy expressway on Milwaukee tucked back from the street. Steps from Jefferson Park transit center. You owe it to yourself to try this place. And once you do you'll see why it's 5 stars and you'll be back to try another flavor.

    DUDE!!!! "Damn, how do they make it taste so good!?"-my wife LEGIT AF HOMEMADE GELATO. This made my day that this is in my neighborhood. Many vegan / no dairy options! They also have smoothies and coffee. Gelato flavors include: Toasted Marshmallow Tiramisu Butter Pecan Pistachio Granny Apple Hazelnut Strawberry Mexican Vanilla Mint Coconut Vegan: Mango Limone Chocolate And other ones that I forgot haha COME HERE NOW

    Absolutely amazing! The place is clean, the decor is inviting but not overbearing, and the options aren't overwhelming but enough. As soon as you walk in you feel as though you are about to eat fancy gelato with insane price tags but nothing can be further than the truth. The gelato is amazing because it's fresh and homemade. Flavors that are usually too sweet (birthday cake) are perfect and refreshing. Let me backtrack a bit, I ordered two scoops in a cup, hazelnut and Mexican vanilla. Both were delicious but the vanilla was out of this world (I should have tasted it before). The Mexican vanilla bursts with flavor but none overpower the other. The owner say me and my kiddos enjoying the gelato so he offered us a small portion (for free) of birthday cake. My kids instantly wanted it. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and a great place to make summer memories. I highly recommend this place!

    I didn't know that gluten is an issue for icecream or sorbet - if it is check with the store

    Are there dairy-free gelato options?

    Yes, theres a dark chocolate sorbetto that really rich. Also mango, raspberry, grapefruit, limoncello, and a few others.

    If you get anything at all from here, make sure it's the wagyu skewer and tiramisu…read more It is the best tiramisu in Chicago!!! This was my fourth time at Monteverde and out of those visits, two were just for the tiramisu lol. Although this time I came mostly because I wanted their wagyu skewer and pesto pasta again because they were so delicious the last time. We came on a Thursday evening around 5:45 and we sat at the available bar seats. The only downside is it was the bar seats at the end which had no space to put my legs so I had to eat facing side ways. But I guess we got lucky because everyone who arrived after us had to be put on a waiting list for the bar. We've never had an issue getting a seat at the bar or waiting for a table. It gets crowded but service is incredibly quick so I wouldn't worry about the wait times. To start, we ordered the wagyu beef skewer and mozzarella shooters. The skewer is so tender and the flavors are perfect. We also were curious about the mozzarella shooters and ordered two because we thought they'd be small (we were wrong--they are much bigger than you'd expect lol). Personally, I didn't like it because I couldn't get past the thick texture of the liquid, but my boyfriend liked it and ate both. For pasta (which you can watch being handmade in the mirror if you sit at the bar!), I ordered the gnocchetti con pesto. I love how refreshing and light it is. It's the perfect dish to eat on a hot summer day. For a side, we chose the crispy yukon cold potatoes and they were definitely crispy!! And of course the tiramisu for dessert. You just can't leave without getting the tiramisu.

They had some…read morelimited-time St. Patrick's Day specials that caught my friend's eye, including the Pot of Gold, a special dessert only available for the weekend. The food was really excellent, as was the service. But it was ridiculously priced. The reuben sandwich was $28. It was a great sandwich, very lean, but you could get a sandwich as good for half the cost elsewhere. They only have a couple of kid's items, but my friend requested buttered noodles for her kid rather than the cheesy noodles. I got the hibiscus drink and lavender lemonade, both non-alcoholic, and they were very good. My little one especially liked the hibiscus. And we ordered the appetizer of whipped ricotta and honey; my daughter liked this more than anything else we ordered. We didn't have dessert at the restaurant, but ordered to go. The pot of gold was really good. There were little "gold nuggets" on it and that was my daughter's favorite part; good thing since I didn't realize it had a layer with Bailey's in it. It was very rich, and the cauldron was really thick chocolate (and actually was a struggle to get into, a bit!). The restaurant is small but it didn't feel crowded. We never felt rushed or unwelcome, and we were there for a couple hours (longer than I realized; it took an unusually long time to make two reuben sandwiches). Their pastries are really nice but somewhat expensive, like the rest of the menu. It was a nice, sophisticated experience.

    Literally the cutest café. This was my favorite breakfast spot while visiting Chicago…read more The second I walked in, I was obsessed. The green and white color palette immediately reminded me of Ralph's Coffee. It felt classic and polished but still charming. Everyone working there had a smile on their face, and the warmth felt so genuine and comforting, especially first thing in the morning. They had such a huge selection of pastries and cakes that it was honestly hard to choose. I ended up getting the cake shaped like a cherry because it looked so interesting. It was a black cherry cake and I paired it with a cappuccino. It was the perfect combination. The cake was beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. We also ordered the breakfast burrito, which came with a small side salad. It was fine, but not the standout for me. If I came back, which I would, I would probably stick to the pastries and coffee and try more of their baked goods instead. Service was amazing. The ambience was adorable. I loved how all the silverware, plating, and dinnerware matched that perfect green tone. Every detail felt intentional. It was just perfect.

Took me awhile to process the menu but it was pretty simple as there are only three steps but plenty of add-ons. Pick your custard base, pick your add-ons and size.

I like it as this was not too sweet and rich coffee flavors. $9 (medium). There are other favorites listed but I was not looking for anything crazy. The store has many candy items that you can buy which does not have to ice cream. There is a long bench in the back of the store where you can sit and enjoy the dessert. I like it and will come back for more.

It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
