One of my all time favorite spots in all of Portland! This is quite the gem! Some of the best Italian gelato made in house with seasonal creative flavors! We make it a point to drive all the way across town to visit in all kinds of weather because they are that good. I recently traveled up through Italy sampling gelato all along the way and this shop remains at the top (it made it much easier to come home when the trip was over. The service is friendly and knowledgeable with great flavor combination suggestions and explanations of the flavors and samples. The ambiance is spotless and upscale with minimal indoor seating and 3 tables of outdoor seating available. Keep an eye out for seasonal flavors and be warned their pistachio is spectacular! read more

Pinguino's Gelato - 3 flavors in the medium cup- pistachio, cioccolato, strawberry - Gelato Near Me - Provo, Utah

By far my favorite gelato shop. All of the flavors that I've tried taste are amazing. Each of them very creamy, just as gelato should be. They do offer pint and quart sizes if you'd like to take some home with you to-go. It's the perfect sweet treat. The workers are all so kind. Also, sometimes I go there to study and it's always peaceful and quiet. read more

Such a great experience! The gelato was delicious, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was super fun and welcoming. Anna is the best! She helped me choose which flavor to get, and her recommendation ended up being perfect. She was so friendly and helpful and made the whole experience even better. The store was extremely clean and well kept, and the vibes were high all around. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

All the flavors I tried, I enjoyed. Even those I don't typically lean towards. They have the art of nailing flavors down. Theres a good mix of classics and artisan flavors. My favorites were the olive oil, the apple cider pear, the honey lavender, and the lemon basil sorbet. The parking is easy bc you can use the back of the smiths parking lot. read more

Pinguino's Gelato - Flavor menu - Gelato Near Me - Provo, Utah

We went with a group of 8 people, luckily it was a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy, the person scooping was very patient and allowed us to sample multiple flavors, she was very knowledgeable about the flavors.. After a few samples we all made our decisions ( which was not easy).. The gelato was delicious and smooth to the palate. We throughly enjoyed sitting in the comfortable chairs, eating and chatting. read more

This is a pretty popular spot. I walked up to in a very modern office building facing north, but I was thinking there'd be nobody around because there's not too many that live within walking distance but they sure were a lot of people driving here from campus or nearby. other homes they were big group gathering states pretty busy for Wednesday night Their seasonal flavors and regular flavors pretty wide selection. You get up to three samples and the size of zirs are good for the dollar amount. I was a little afraid seeing the crowd that was there and how long it take me to get served, but it took about three minutes even with about 20 people in front of me read more

The ambiance and space inside the place is great for big groups! However, the gelato is not as good as other places nearby...the texture wasn't thick/dense enough in my opinion, and my gelato was melting veryyyy quickly. The flavors I tried and got were also too sweet! So not the most pleasant experience. The dark chocolate one is very yummy and rich though, so 9/10 for that flavor. Overall, it's a nice space to come with friends, but doesn't have the best gelato in town in my opinion. read more

Pinguino's Gelato - Dark Chocolate & Rose Lychee - Gelato Near Me - Provo, Utah

It was a beautiful experience. From the moment we walked in, a quiet relaxing atmosphere and the friendliest face welcomed us. He was eager to help and pleasant and truly meant for customer facing role. Gelato tasting was good and our choices did not disappoint. Too bad we are not locals. Or maybe it's a good thing for my wallet and waistline. read more

Very cool design and flow. This place feels very authentic and real. Not sure the background of the owners but they pull it off. I think too many samples were handed out. We waited behind a couple for 15 minutes as the samples everything. It was too long. I mean come on, you've lived life this long you should know what chocolate is going to taste like. Love the chocolate wall and seating. The gelato was tasty, creamy, and filling. Cheers. read more

This is a knock off of Pinguinos in Grafenwöhr Germany. To top it all off, this places gelato doesn't even hold a candle to the originals. If you're going to steal the name at least try and make it as good. The REAL Pinguinos charges €1.50 for a cone. This knockoff charges $5!! The gelato you get at the real Pinguinos is Amazing. Admittedly there are better places in Europe but the Pinguinos in Utah is an overpriced imitation. read more

We had Pingüinos cater a big event for work and were eagerly awaiting the opening of their brick-and-mortar location--and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait! Their flavors are absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for sitting, chatting, and enjoying your meal (with plenty of reasons to go back for seconds!). Their bases are incredibly fresh, bursting with flavors that taste like summer. If you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out--make sure to give them a visit! read more

This marks the first time I've seen a gelato cart at a wedding and this may be non-negotiable from here on out. The line was long and for good reason, yet still the staff dishing out sweet cold goodness was very polite and quick to attend to each order. The key lime and strawberry cheesecake are a thing of legend read more

This is hands down best ice cream/gelato shop in Provo. Hands down. SO much better than the gelato place on 500 N. This place doesn't use syrups and you can tell from the quality and taste. I am hooked on this place!! Also love the variety of seasonal monthly flavors. Can't give this place enough stars. I've been waiting over 6 years for a place in Provo to stand out as the best ice cream/gelato and Pinguinos has finally arrived to fill that role read more

I went to the grand opening and loved it! Amazing service and the place is beautiful! I can't say enough about their delicious gelato, which is perfection! They have a chocolate wall that really sets the tone of the whole restaurant that they mean business! Everything is delicious and everything is made in house and fresh! And they probably have the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my life! read more

Pinguino's Gelato - Gelato Near Me - Provo, Utah

I tried this place at the Festa Italiana. I chose the stracciatella and also tasted the dark chocolate. The stracciatella was good, but I was not blown away. The dark chocolate was very strong and bold. It was close to $14 for two scoops of the gelato. read more

Pinguino's literally changed our lives. Came here for a treat on my birthday and left with it being our new favorite gelato place in Provo. The service was amazing, the staff was so friendly and willing to let us sample flavors. They explained the process of making the gelato and the natural ingredients used. Their seasonal flavors were UNREAL (We got the apple crumble, dark chocolate, and pistachio). The portions sizes were large too. We are pretty harsh critics when it comes to ice cream/gelato and really haven't found a favorite place in Provo until now. Try pinguinos!!! We can't wait to go back! read more

The most delicious classy experience ever. I was looking for unique ice cream/ gelato flavors because I was missing an ice cream place in Colorado called High Point Creamery, but I didn't know of a place in Utah with the same unique concept. Well my search is over, i'll be visiting this place as often as I can. read more

Pinguino's Gelato - Gelato Near Me - Provo, Utah

Awesome gelato, recommend the pistachio made with real ground pistachios. Very comfortable atmosphere. Great employees.

I went on to a friend's s wedding last night that was catered by pinguinos and was very disappointed. The gelato was very good but my real problem was with the sandwiches. They looked horrible. They looked very sloppy and were hard to eat. I tried both of them and the bottom of my sandwich was nowhere to be found so I got tomato all over my hands. They tasted good but they looked so unappealing and were so messy I didn't want to go back for seconds. My husband was equally disappointed. I loved the gelato but was very disappointed with the presentation of the sandwiches. read more

Listen listen, I don't even mess with gelato on the account of me being lactose intolerant. But for the service you get here, I'd take one for the team. Andy and Anna were so nice and so helpful. Felt like I was at a mansion and I had a butlers attending to me. Glady would go again with my wife whenever she's craving it read more

This place was terrific! I dislike ice cream or gelato when the primary flavor is sweet. The gelato we had tasted so fresh & tasted like the flavor listed, not simply sweet. And they have a cool chocolate fountain that is REAL chocolatev& looks like a river of melted chocolate oozing down the wall. We will definitely go back again! read more

Went here with three other friends and we had a great experience! We got 4 small gelato's (which are not very small) for just over $22. None of us had been here and received the absolute best service from Kimbell. The store was clean and well lit. Overall a wonderful time and will be repeat customers! read more

Visited the new Pinguino location in downtown Provo. There is a wide range of unexpected gelato flavors: brown butter Biscoff, Key Lime Pie, Baklava, Chai Tea, Horchata. I expected the flavors to disappoint, but our whole party was frankly blown away. I was shocked by that the apple pie gelato tasted like real apple pie but somehow also replicated the texture of apple pie. We stayed at the Hyatt Place next door and made it our daily routine to visit. Since this review is so effusive, it might seem fake or exaggerated. The gelato flavors were really that good. read more

I came here for the hot chocolate and it was incredible! The staff was very friendly and helpful and there was comfortable and cute indoor seating. read more

The gelato was amazing. I got the biscoff and dark chocolate flavors. There was a good combination of easy comfort flavors and new exciting ones, like olive oil or lemon basil. Staff was super friendly and easy to talk to. The store itself was gorgeous and also has a chocolate fountain wall with 250lbs of chocolate (not for eating unfortunately). read more

It's very good gelato! I got the dark chocolate one and it was very creamy. I've been to a lot of gelato places and one thing I would recommend is there isn't a lot of variety of flavors.Too simple of flavors! Need more options read more

I recently tried Pinguinio's at their cart at the Italian Festival in SLC. Having been to Italy twice, I can say this stuff is the REAL DEAL! Perfectly decadent and creamy, exactly like what you get in Italy. 10/10. read more

Our band was playing at a private gig where Garret was set up. After we were done we got a chance to have some of his gelato. Outrageously delicious. Really nice guy who learned how to do it after spending 5 weeks in Italy. I've had lots of gelato in m life that's been really good, but this was the best. read more

Pinguino's gelato is creamy and perfect for any occasion. I highly recommend it. Having lived in Italy for a few years, this is some of the best gelato I have had in the states. You will love it. I highly recommend the Pistacchio flavor! read more

It's delicious! The consistency is so good, I love the strawberry cheesecake flavor. I can't recommend this place enough.

I freaking love this gelato! Garet is so nice and helpful! he will take care of you no matter what and he is jus the best!!! the gelato is even better! read more
