I prefer to get mine with dark chocolate ice cream as it makes for a rich & not too sweet affogato. They have a beverage menu, gelato & sorbet menu, as well as frozen pints of gelato to-go. The three girls working today were wonderful & friendly which was refreshing to see as the last time I came the staff was rather distant & not engaged (miserable). Thanks for a very nice Sunday treat and for your gracious staff.

You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's easy to see why Venchi has built such a strong reputation. Liliana was incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of samples so I could find the perfect combination. The gelato is clearly made with care, and the overall experience feels like a little slice of Italy. Definitely a spot worth savoring and coming back to.

I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

Ordering is a little precious, you pay first but without specifying what gelato flavor(s) you want. Then you wait for somebody to call your name and then a staffer will fill your order. If you've never been here, it's not clear where you stand to get service. But head over to the cash register. I didn't see the kiosk other Yeeps have mentioned in their reviews. I got a small cup with one scoop of orange gelato and one of pistachio. The orange was the better flavor of the two. A wide range of flavors are available. The cups are a bit deceptive. Take a look at the bottom of the cup and you will see that it is recessed pretty deeply in the cup, meaning you aren't getting as big of serving as you would think with a cup that size.

You can see their messaging of seeking the best local ingredients and making sure their delicious offerings can be enjoyed by those who have dietary issues, such as an aversion to gluten.  Everything about Terra's is welcoming and happy.  On this afternoon, we tried the signature hot cocoa with a nice spicy note and the mocha which had a great coffee flavor.  We were able to sample the sprinkle covered waffle chips - yum!  And the cinnamon ice cream - another yum!  I hope more people stop by to enjoy Terra's.  It is definitely worth turning in to the lot for a drink, a waffle cone or any other of their sweet and savory treats.  I know we will be back soon!

This spot has a smaller footprint than other locations, but just as much heart! The atrium-style building allowed lots of sunlight to flow through the shop which made even the chilliest, snowy day feel warm and cozy. Our ice cream scooper was super friendly and was patient while my daughter's tried all the flavors (peppermint was an all-around favorite). I went with the banana pudding and my husband RAVED about the ube which had real chunks of coconut throughout. They were also very cautious with allergies which was appreciated since I noticed several peanut items on their menu. On our way out we noticed they were having a $5 pint sale which was honestly a steal considering a scoop of ice cream is nearly the same price. I'll definitely be back soon!

Love how you could taste each of these three flavors. So good, especially in this Sunmer heat. There's a few tables inside or enjoy your ice cream outdoors (there's cool "swings" nearby). Staff was super friendly and gave recommendations, which I appreciated. Parking is available along the streets and was easy to find on a Sunday night.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. The hostess barely acknowledged us when we asked to sit at the bar, and once seated, the bartender simply handed me a menu without a smile or even a welcome. I asked about a specific cocktail and was told they "don't make certain drinks," which was fine, but the interaction felt very dismissive. I then asked if they could make a simple spaghetti aglio e olio -- literally spaghetti with garlic and olive oil -- and was immediately told "No, we only serve what's on the menu" in a very rude tone. At that point, my husband and I decided not to stay for dinner and left. Hospitality and kindness go a long way, and sadly neither was part of our experience tonight. Very disappointed, and unfortunately we won't be returning.
