Sweet Home Gelato hits that perfect "treat yourself" note every single time…read more My wife and I have made this our go-to stop after date night dinners or a stroll through local boutiques. Whether we're dressed up from dinner or rocking comfy post-shopping vibes, this spot always welcomes us like regulars. The service? Top tier. Friendly, fast, and always ready with a smile and a spoon. They don't rush the process -- they want you to find your flavor soulmate. Pro tip: ask to sample, they're always down to help you discover a new favorite. Speaking of which -- here's mine: get the Small (trust me, it's not that small), because you get to combine two flavors. Lately, I've been hooked on the combo of classic vanilla and pineapple. It's like creamy meets tropical vacation -- light, refreshing, and oddly sophisticated for something in a cup. The ambiance is casual but cozy, making it the perfect cherry on top to any night out. Whether you're with your partner, your friends, or just treating yourself (as you should), Sweet Home Gelato is always worth the detour.

This shop is such a treasure! The staff are always friendly, and the cannolis are so good!…read more Today, we purchased several three packs of mini cannoli, including chocolate peanut butter, traditional, chocolate orange, and lemon. These are not grocery store cannolis--these are made with real ingredients--pistachios, peanuts, lemon and orange peels. We also had to grab a piece of cannoli cake. The shop is small, but in the cutest midcentury style building, and in the warmer weather, picnic tables are available outside. Don't be surprised if the staff offer you a fork with your purchases, so you can enjoy the treats right away! The owners also conduct classes, which we really want to attend in the future. They also offer catering. So happy to support this small business!

It's the kind of place where you'll want to try everything (and luckily, they let you sample before you buy!). The kids loved it, and honestly, so did we!

The service was fast, and there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream instead of having to rush out the door. Highly recommend if you're looking for something sweet, fun, and family-friendly. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

The locals love it and during warm weather days, it's busy especially during and after dinner hours. Their frozen custard is creamy and flavorful. They have a wonderful variety of rotating flavors and on Fridays, they alternate between Butter Pecan and Pistachio flavors. They have a nice menu variety and the pricing is very reasonable. They also have frozen pints in which you can also usually find the Flavor of the Day from the previous day. The service is friendly and good. The shop is a classic, old school looking with a walk-up window to order and pick up your order style establishment. Check it out. They are worth a visit and more.

I scoped it out and decided to try their gelato as I am a big gelato fan. I tried a few samples including their Mango, Taro and Matcha green tea. They were all good. I opted to get their Regular size cup of gelato which comes with three scoops (same or different flavors - your choice). I got Pistachio, Coconut and Taro flavors. The total came out to $5.33 after tax. I got good portion size in the scoops. All the three flavors were tasty. They were nice flavors. The gelato was smooth (not dense and not too soft either). My favorite was the Taro flavor, followed by Pistachio and then the Coconut. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the gelato here. I was happy. They were a bit busy as they are a part of the Food Court. Thus, I didn't get to ask about their gelato as in where it's made, who makes it etc. Most people who came while I was there were going for the Boba Milk Teas which brings me to my next point. Besides gelato, they offer gelato milkshakes, fruit smoothies, and Boba milk teas. I liked their menu variety. I would definitely recommend this place. I can't wait to check them out again for other stuff they have to offer. Go check them out while you are at the mall. They have good service, reasonable prices and their menu variety offers something for all gelato, smoothie and milk tea lovers.

The interior, however, is very dark and could benefit from better lighting. Service was disappointing. Despite having plenty of wait staff and not many customers, we waited long and had a hard time getting attentive service. The food itself showed promise and was flavorful overall. Unfortunately, the pasta was cooked too al dente for my taste, especially the ravioli, which was on the verge of being undercooked. The biggest letdown was the cleanliness. An ant crawled up my arm during our meal, and we noticed several flies, bugs in the dining area. I truly wanted to enjoy and support this local restaurant, but the lack of attentive service and cleanliness issues made it difficult to overlook the negatives.

We were excited to finally try Olivia's. We decided to go for an early dinner (5:30ish) on a…read moreFriday evening. First impression, the parking lot was empty. We had heard they were busy, many times with wait times. So we were surprised. The ambiance is really nice, A really nice Italian dinner restaurant. I started with an Old Fashioned and it was one of the better ones I have had. They really nailed it. There are a couple on their menu so I was sure to say "not the one with soda/selter". That a Wisconsin one :) We asked if the Caesar was large enough to split to start. They said yes. Great. There were 3 tables filled so it was finally not empty. Not sure why the bar seating was empty- looked like a great place to sit too. After ten minutes we gave our order, Chicken Piccata for my wife and I had the Pork Chop special. The waiter didn't come by and we didn't get our salad. He was busy making drinks for one larger party (the 4th table). Finally our entree's came. I asked what happened to our salad. He looked confused. I reminded him we asked if it was large enough to split and we would start with it. He was genuinely sorry. It happens. Then we ate the entree's. My wife's Chicken was flavorful and served hot. It was very good. My pork chop was closer to room temp rather than hot. The flavor was really good. Unfortunately I have a thing about eating my food hot, not on the cold side. I told the waiter. He was sorry and asked if he could have them heat it up. I passed .... Didn't want dryer food while my wife ate alone. The manager came over and insisted it didn't sit at the window. Not sure WHY he wanted to argue this point. I offered the plate so he could taste or even feel the dish at that point. He seemed genuinely wanting to help, but he didn't need to make us feel like we were wrong. Again - not the end of the world. So why 3 stars? My wife's food was great. The taste of mine was good. They didn't charge us for my dinner. Their Old Fashioned was out of this world (ask Omar to make it). The truth is we want to try it again and see if this was a glitch. If it wasn't a glitch, it's why they weren't packed on a Friday night.
