Had the espresso-ice cream mix which was absolutely delicious! Highly recommended. Good value too - 4-7 dollars per dish depending on what dessert you choose.

Great place for a sweet treat after museums or shopping. Every flavor is outstanding. We tried salted caramel, mango, orange, pineapple - all good!

We've been trying to get here for a while and now can say its worth the trip! The lemon is the best gelato we've had . . . Even better than the ones we had in Italy. The staff at 20th and Sansom location were great.

So good. We try not to be the jerks standing at the counter sampling every flavor...but it's hard not to. Even the flavors you may think sound strange...aren't. We've tried to find something closer to home that comes close but have yet to find anything that compares.

Rated the Best Ice Cream in the world by NatGeo, this place was delicious! The flavors were so different. I had the Vietnamese cinnamon, burnt sugar, and dark chocolate flavors. Depending on the size of the cup you get, you can have multiple flavors.

This place was awesome. I used to think my gelato place in Annapolis, MD was the best until I came here. The quality of ingredients and ingenuity in flavors was far superior. The service here was outstanding as well. I loved the Tarocco-Siciliano Orange as well as the Bacio. Look forward to coming here when I come back to town.

YUM! This was the best gelato I've ever had! The guys working the counter were really nice too. Try the samples, and find your favorite!

The gelato here is so creamy and delicious. They have a huge selection of dairy free options which is a rare find. Expensive, but well worth the splurge. Their flavors change with the season so there are always new things to try! And, they give you a ridiculous amount of free samples. The people are always so friendly...well worth it!

We went to Capogiro Gelateria for dessert. There are more than twenty flavors to choose from. The gelato was very rich tasting and creamy. I tried the dark chocolate and vanilla striietta. My husband had the dark chocolate and milk chocolate. We both truly enjoyed our desserts. We look forward to returning here.
