    Chocolate box
    Hank C.

    A chocolate and gelato cafe, they are a popular treat as they're the only real shop in the mall for desserts like this (a rolled ice cream shop probably would do well?), so little kids and adults line up. While you wait your turn, you can peruse the gift chocolates or the pack-by-piece ($13.50 a pound about) as well as chocolate bars of all kinds of sizes, and you pay at the counter. They also have some coffee and other drinks available in case you need a kick start. Staff was friendly, came to check on the items. The box set that looks like a book is cool, but the pieces do move around inside (the sample one had chocolate all a-kimbo and didn't look that good inside, though the outside was a cool container). No seating, go outside to the shared common space otherwise. Will see how they do once the Eataly opens up, but they are a bit expensive so it's a once-in-a-while treat. Cone or cup, choices.

    Probably one of the best gelato spots I've been too. It's truly delicious! Their chocolate is amazing! Plenty of choco bars in the store that you can buy as well. We went there with a family so were able to try a few different flavors. Service is great! The interior decor is really cute although there is no sit down place. Highly recommended to try!

    After trying Venchi off of Union Square in the city, I was excited to check this one out. It is definitely much smaller and doesn't have the same aesthetic but the gelato was still good. I went with the dairy free option this time and they did not disappoint. The one difference I did notice that the gelato that as soft and it made it hard for the employee to scoop it out. It was almost too frozen. It also made it hard to eat from the cone without it toppling over, but thankfully they gave me a cup. You get to pick your choice of chocolate (milk or dark) that they usually place on top, but because it was too frozen, they left it on the side for me. The employees were very nice. Overall, it is a bit pricey but good gelato. If you want more an experience, checkout the one in the city.

    I decided to treat my family to some gelato and it was a small fortune, but worth it. The service is great and the gelato is excellent. If it's your first time, they'll ask you what size you want, cone or cup, and if you want chocolate syrup as the base. After paying, they will ask you for the flavors you want. The regular is $8 and you can get up to two flavors. We all enjoyed and it was very decadent. A nice treat!

    The BEST GELATO! Located inside Short Hills Mall- the perfect treat to treat yourself with during a long day of shopping. There's plenty of seating and tables next to Venchi There's usually a long line when I go (for good reason), but this time I managed to be the first one in line. They have the creamiest, most decadent gelato I've ever had! My fave flavor is the tiramisu. They have several size options, but I've found the baby (1 scoop) is more than enough to get a good amount of gelato. You can also customize your scoop by adding nuts, chocolate, etc. So delicious and creamy!! Highly recommend!

    This Venchi couldn't be in a better location. It is nestled inside the Short Hills Mall and always busy. We were in a line, behind 7 other customers, and we could see why. Not only does Venchi provide one of the most creamy gelatos I've ever tasted, but they can also present it in a cup, lined with different sweets/nuts. I don't know any other place that does this. The eatery also has other items for sale (candy, merch, chocolate). If you're in the mall, stop by Venchi. You will enjoy top notch gelato and leave a similar five star review.

    So we were in Short Hills Mall and noticed a huge lien to enter Venchi. Obviously India's to check it out. Super glad I did!!! The very best ice cream I have ever had!! I opted for the baby cup (1 scoop) and it was absolutely perfect! I had the chocolate swirl with vanilla and hazelnut_ don't recall the name (started with a C) AMAZing!! Super rich

    Stumbled upon this place when the grandparents wanted to buy the kids some ice cream. Those kids got a real treat. While we were waiting in line, we got some sample of the milk chocolate spread, it was amazing. The mango gelato was so good that my toddler who normally wants to be fed grabbed the spoon and kept scooping on his own. My brother got the dark chocolate flavor and it was pretty amazing. It's not cheap, a regular cup is pretty small and cost $6.75 but it is quality. As you see the decor is fancy.

    The fresh cones dipped in chocolate with the added chocolate pieces make this gelato perfect. Honestly loved the cone more than the actual gelato.

    Good chocolate store in Short Hills Mall. I like their ice cream and coffee. Nice addition for Short Hills Mall. I first saw this company in Italy on vacation couple years ago, Now they are in US. So cool.

    Slow and overpriced. Ordered a 'large' which is three scoops. Guy gave my daughter two scoops and says one of the scoops was big.

    I wasn't expecting this place to be as impressive as it was. My husband suggested Liv's Bakery, and…read moreI'm really glad we decided to check it out. It looks like everything is made in-house, and we especially appreciated that their bread is sourdough. They offer a great variety of breads and baked goods. We kept it simple and tried a gluten-free hazelnut chocolate cake, a chocolate mousse, a chocolate chip cookie, and a latte that came with a small espresso cookie on the side. The service was outstanding, and everything we had was delicious. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items.

    We were in the neighborhood on a Sunday morning and decided to give this Liv's a try…read more There was a line out the door, most of which was for the grab-and-go bakery area. Everything looked so delicious! We wanted to dine in and followed the signs to the seating area which was also bustling. We were seated across from each other at a long communal table, which is fine, but our neighbors seemed offput by having to move their coats and bags off the chairs. We were sitting so tightly together that I could barely shrug my jacket off without elbowing my neighbors. We waited and looked around for about 10 minutes. When no server approached us, we realized we needed to get up and order at the back counter. This was not made clear. Orange Juice for me (fresh squeezed - $12), iced coffee for him, the Spreads and Breads, and the Schnitzel Sandwich. We also split a small cinnamon bun. Our bill was nearly $80. Yowza. I will say that everything we ordered was good. We had things to do so we essentially ate and left. We were in and out in under 45 minutes. This is definitely a locals kind of place. We'll opt to grab-and-go if we are in the area again.
