Treat yourself!!!
by gabbyso
I've never had gelato before but my husband, kids and I decided to go here with a friend on Sunday who has raved about this place on more than one occasion. Now I see why. It's just awesome. They have such an excellent selection of flavors and every one I tried tasted great. Sampled the Wedding Cake flavor (which was fantastic) and the Strawberry Sorbet. Ended up ordering a cup with the Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Turtle and Black Cherry. They were all great but the Black Cherry was by far my favorite. I asked the girl who was working there about the calorie/fat content and she said that a small cup has around 200 calories. My husband found that hard to believe because the taste was better than ice cream but I have heard that gelato is less fattening than ice cream. Even if it weren't, it'd still be worth the splurge. Great place!
- Pros: Great service, great selection
- Cons: None

THE BEST

I love this place. I am a desert fanatic, and this is definitely one of my favorite places in town. I do prefer the regular flavors to the sorbets. Of the non-sorbets, I haven't had a single bad one. The coffee flavor is great. Recently, I tried vanilla lavender, which was interesting and very good. The cappuccinos are pretty good, too.

I am writing this because I completely disagree with the last rating. Since I first tried Paciugo I have not even touched ice cream and not only because it is better for me, but because it taste better. I think it is better because it is made with whole milk and not cream. Plus, this taste just like the gelato in Italy if not and probably better. I also could not believe the reviewer used the name Baskin Robins in this review. They are obviously on two different levels. I recommend Panacotta and chocolate chocolate chip, however my boyfriend likes the coffee chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, and pistachio. My sister loves the chocolate sorbet since she is lactose intolerant.
