  1. There are a lot of ice cream shops in the area. I've tried them all and I can say that Gelotti is the BEST!  Great selection of ice cream and it's so creamy, rich, and delicious.  I like that you can sit outside as well when the weather is nice.  This will always be our, "go to" ice cream shop.

  2. I grew up going to the totowa gelottis and was expecting the same type of place.  The workers did not move the line as quickly and one girl was cleaning the ice cream area at 10 when they closed at 11 and kept telling those helping the customers not to mess what she just cleaned – this surprised those waiting in line and even prompted a customer to ask what time they closed.  

    Also the lack of all the flavors a was disappointing.  My dad loves rum raisin and they said they don't make it this time of year – what?!

    They do have an email list for coupons but I am not sure that I will be back. Maybe for the occasional cherry ice but nothing else.

    From now on I will take the longer trip to totowa to get my ice cream.

  3. Spectacular ice cream with creative flavors to suit a variety of preferences. I had cherry vanilla, one of my favorites, which had ginormous chunks of cherries. Also had a scoop of banana Oreo, also bomb. My boyfriend had cookie dough and Cookie Monster- an initially frightening bright blue color, but was actually freakin amazing.. Cookie dough and Oreo pieces inside.

    This place also has gelato and ices so there is definitely a flavor for every liking.

  4. Very friendly staff.

    Decent portion sizes for the price point.

    A fine selection of flavors of ice cream, gelato, sherbet, and soft serve, with low fat, non fat and no sugar added options taboot.

    Most importantly, the product is very good.  Today I tried both red velvet and Nutella gelato. The Nutella is outrageously good, while the red velvet was more of a simple (but good) vanilla gelato, with a generous mix in of fresh red velvet cake.

    On subsequent visits, I've tried other flavors, most of which are very good, though none of which are in the conversation of best ever version. The coffee ice cream is a fine, satisfying rendition as is the chocolate. The pistachio gelato was not on par with that served up at nearby Calandras village.

    That being said, they are doing a much better job than Applegate Farms or Super Scoops, and needless to say a way better job than the mass produced belch of Let's Yo, Twisty, Red Mango, etc.

    There are more familiar flavors for adults, and fun flavors with fun names for kids, such as purple cow, and cherry bomb.

    This is just a local shop with a quality small batch product that's sure to satisfy in a friendly environment.

  5. The gelato is yummy and the prices are fair.  The staff generally seem more interested in talking with each other than serving guests in an efficient manner, but what do you expect with a bunch of high school/college kids behind the counter.   The gelato is worth it.

  6. Hands down the BEST gelato and ice cream around. I'm a huge ice cream fan and compare any place I go to Gelotti- and nothing comes close.

    Highly suggest the Bacio, Nocciola, and Nutella for gelato. The Mint Oreo, Banana Oreo, S'mores, and Cookie Monster are the best ice creams. They also have amazing seasonal flavors, such as Pumpkin Pie.

    You can also customize amazing ice cream cakes- my family's favorite is the Bacio/Nocciola gelato cake. They are never skimpy here and the staff is always helpful and friendly.

  7. Cute little shop near Caldwell College that gets packed on summer nights. Despite the crowds of people that come here, service is always fast and the people working behind the counter are always nice and have good work ethic.

    Great ice cream. I have yet to try a flavor that I do not like.

    I'd say I'll be coming back, but I already have been back at least a dozen times.

  8. I LOVE Gelotti's! They are so nice and friendly. They have a very big selection of ice cream, as well as Italian ices and gelato flavors. My favorite is the Cookie Monster ice cream – a combo of cookie dough and cookies and cream. Yum!
