Evanston is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Evanston follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The gelato absolutely just melts in your mouth! They scoop it traditionally as well. The gelato is sweet and creamy. Many unique flavors and different sizes to choose from. Definitely gets popular at night.

The best gelato in Evanston! This little family business has some of the freshest and most fun flavors to try! I got the flan con dulce de leche and the horchata in their cucurucho waffle cone. There were thick swirls of dulce de leche, and the horchata flavor tasted just like the drink. You definitely should try their waffle cone—it’s homemade and so easy thick and crunchy. With so many flavors to try, I’ll definitely be coming back!

When you walk in you notice how clean the place is and we were welcomed right as we stepped in. The customer service was great!! Thank you for being patient with us in deciding since it was our first time here. We got a smaller portion just in case, but next time we're definitely getting the bigger size. The gelato was sooooo GOOD!!

I would say one of the best gelatos I’ve had in a looong while! New favorites will be the: Flan with dulche de leche and Tramontana. Their gelatos don’t skimp out on flavors, it’s creamy and it’s fresh (it’s not old fridge tasting).

The line was literally out the door on Sunday evening - and this young guy who was by himself when we got there deserves 5+ stars alone for how fast he was and how calm he remained - truly over the top service by this young man! My family thought this was some of the best sorbet/ice cream they have had! Don’t go expecting your traditional gelato or gelato flavors -there is a definite uniqueness to their options. The flavors are really unique, ask for a sample taste -you might find something you don’t expect to like! That’s what happened to us! Even with the long line it moved pretty quickly. Limited seating, corner location. Street parking. We’ll definitely be returning!
