I first noticed Paciugo when they used to have a stall at the Saturday Morning Market, where they sold mainly coffee, and about 6 flavors of gelato. I never tried the ice cream, but their coffee was always superb. When they stopped coming to the Market, I started bringing my own coffee. Recently, I have strolled into their shop on... More

This is one of those things I do not understand about Tripadvisor. Yes the Gelato is fantastic, albeit a bit pricey, with numerous choices but the #1 ranking for restaurants in Saint Petersburg? There should be a sub category for places like this. They do have at least one Gelato for those that are diabetic which was nice. We sat... More

Went off the advice of Trip Advisor and the reviews. My Virgin gelato experience at Paciugo was excellent! Tried a small strawberry, mixed berry, and raspberry!

This gelato is delicious. Thank goodness I don't live closer or my diet would be ruined! I've been here many times and the quality is consistent. My only complaint is that even the small is very large (fits 3 different flavors) and, as a result I eat too much!! My favorite flavors are: Bacio (chocolate hazelnut) and panna cotta. My... More

I had been to Paciugo many time while living in Dallas and did not realize there was one in downtown St. Pete so was pleasantly surprised to see it while staying in St. Pete for the weekend. The staff is super friendly and when I asked our server what her favorite was, she enthusiastically responded and then readily offered samples... More

Oh man this place is fun! While visiting my parents who live in St. Petersburg, we were enjoying a walk by the harbor. When we came upon Paciugo, we decided to have gelato for lunch and are so glad we did! We each got a small, which was about $4. This size allows you to get up to 3 flavors... More

Great, great gelato. The "small" is made much larger by their generous scooping, and two (sensible) adults can even split one. We went several nights in a row and liked both the chocolate hazelnut (big, whole chunks of nut) and the salted caramel. YUMMMMMMMM

"Better than sex" is not just for chocolate. This is the best gelato I have ever had. So many flavors to choose from! An absolute treat and a must do in St. Pete.

Amazing amazing place. The best quality gelato I have had (besides Italy). It's pricey but well worth it. Plus gelato is much lower in fat and calories compared to ice cream but tons more flavor!! Try the affogato (drenched in chocolate or espresso). Great outdoor seating and friendly staff. You can't go wrong. We are locals here in st Pete... More
