What People Are Saying About Ciao Bella

In Short – Locals and tourists alike line up for more than 20 rotating flavors of creamy, velvety gelato. Flavors include everything from the expected, like strawberry and chocolate, to the more obscure, like banana paprika and coconut with sweet corn. There's no seating, so customers take their treats to go. Samples are given freely and generously, and sodas and bottled water are also available.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best gelato I've had since Italy

by dernachtwind

This place is awesome for gelato on the go. On my way home from work I always stop in to try something new. So far the Blackberry Cabernet Sorbetto is my favorite, followed closely by the Blo od Orange Sorbetto. The Sharffen Berger chocolate gelato is my favorite, but if you get a small cup, try pairing the blueberry gelato with the Fromage Blanc. It is so good, and the service is first rate as long as you don't do the tourist thing and crowd the front of the case asking for sample after sample. It also helps to actually read the labels in the case by the flavors to save time and headaches while ordering. Great place!

The gelato here is delicious and the nice thing is you can get two flavors even if you are just getting a small size.
