I love gelato. When I lived in Venice for a month, I was sometimes having gelato three times a day…read more It was out of control. So I've had my fair share of quality gelato. While this gelato shop is not in Italy, there are a good number of gelato shops in Germany. Dolce & Gelato was close by, so I stopped by for a pre-dinner treat.
Service (1/5): This soured the experience big time. You can order at the counter or sit at one of the tables on the patio. There are also a few seats inside. There were no seats available on the patio, and while there are some inside, there's no A/C and it was June so that wasn't happening. They have a weird policy where you can only order gelato in a cone if you're ordering takeout. If you're sitting at a table, you can only order gelato in a cup. What the heck?! This makes no sense. I like my gelato in a cone, so I don't understand the weird policy. I always get annoyed by a lack of logic or reason.
Ambiance (3/5): If there's a seat available on the patio or you're getting it to go, all is good. If you're sitting inside, I don't recommend it. No A/C and tight quarters.
Drinks (N/A): I didn't order any drinks.
Food (2.5/5): I went with the medium, which comes with two flavors. Amarena and watermelon (which I thought would be perfect and refreshing for the summer). Unfortunately, this gelato is not up to Italian standards. It was mediocre at best. It lacked the burst of flavor that you expect from some quality gelato. They have a nice selection of flavors, but they are lacking in the flavor department.
Given the rest of the logistical hurdles, not worth it in my mind.
