    Vanilla gelato with chocolate chip cookie
    Heather W.

    Fantastic! Service is great and all the flavors we've tried have been wonderful. Our kids love the milkshakes but I think the cookie sandwich is the best I've ever had.

    Really good!! I am glad we have something like this in Jacksonville. I am just selfish and wish it was closer to my side of town.

    Disappointing Experience from a Long-Awaited Visit…read more As a longtime fan of the British show Escape to the Country, I was excited to see an episode featuring a family returning to the UK after starting a gelato business in Wilmington, NC. Despite living over 1,300 miles away in Texas, we have family nearby and made a mental note to visit their shop the next time we were in town. That opportunity finally came yesterday. We headed to the Riverwalk with high hopes and found the gelato shop easily. The area was bustling, thanks to a nearby conference, and there were a few customers inside. When we walked in, no one was immediately visible behind the counter--until a young woman popped up from behind it with a rather odd, suspicious laugh and asked how she could help. We told her we were looking at the menu board and needed a moment. As we browsed, she pulled out a sample spoon--not to offer us a taste, but to stick her head into the cooler, dig around in a container of gelato with the spoon (as if picking something out), and then eat from it. No gloves. No hand washing. All of this happened right in front of us. Perhaps this is their normal routine, but it was a major red flag for us. It raised concerns not just about what we could see, but especially about what we couldn't--like their broader hygiene and food safety practices. We made a polite excuse, left without ordering, and ended up at another nearby shop on the boardwalk. There, the first thing the employee did was put on disposable gloves before handling our order--exactly the level of care we expect from a food establishment. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. I really wanted to love this place. But after what we witnessed, we simply couldn't bring ourselves to take the risk.

    Walked in on a Monday and the lady at the counter welcomed us and offered to help…read more We got a passion fruit (vegan) option and the hazelnut. $13 for three scoops total which is pretty pricy but this seems to be the average for gelatos. The ambiance of the shop was trendy and clean and it's right on the boardwalk so easy to eat your gelato right one the water.

The gelato is actually fantastic and definitely amongst the best in the area (including quite a large radius). The texture is just so smooth, creamy, and perfectly rich while somehow still maintaining some lightness so I could keep eating more. The flavors were relatively simple and traditional, but just packed and executed incredibly well. Overall just some truly great gelato. The shop itself is quite nice with a modern and well decorated interior, offering a good amount of seating inside, a bench outside, and with its location in the center of Downtown Cary there are plenty of places to walk around or to where you can enjoy. The service was friendly and efficient. Prices, while definitely on the higher side, are acceptable given the quality, especially for this quality of a sweet treat! Will absolutely be coming back for more and recommend all to give it a try.

Food: got the sour cherry and hazelnut chocolate gelato. The hazelnut chocolate was ok (just expected more flavor) but the sour cherry was surprisingly really good and the cherries definitely had a sour sweet tang to it. They put wafers on top of the ice cream which is a nice touch Service: they were nice and let us sample different flavors before we decided Ambiance: a small gelato/ ice cream parlor. Few places to sit. Had an old ice cream/gelato cart in the corner
