My husband and I felt like we were transported back to Italy when we tried the coffee and pastries. My husband loved the wonderful espresso and I enjoyed my London Fog tea. But the true standouts were the authentic and amazing pastries. The pistachio bomboloni was so soft, fluffy and filled with delectable pistachio cream. The chocolate pastry was also fantastic. We took some pastries home the lemon filled cornetto was so flaky, fresh and decadent. We will definitely return to try the gelato which looked amazing. Our server was so friendly and engaging he obviously enjoys his job and he definitely enhanced our experience. It was a really lovely way to start the day and we look forward to returning and enjoying fresh, authentic and delicious Italian treats. We would highly recommend you go.

We probably would have passed on by because there is an abundance of cute places in this town, but we saw the word "vegan" appliqued to the windows of this charming shop, and we decided to poke our heads in. So glad we did! They have a wonderful vegan apple strudel, with tender, flaky crust that is caramelized on the bottom. The chocolate sorbet is delicious, and my oat milk latte had a smooth coffee flavor. The staff were so enthusiastic and helpful in making recommendations, and offered a treat to our little dog.

It's a cute and cozy little place with a small patio where you can enjoy gelato. Real Italian gelato. While visiting Niagara on the lake on 12th August it was definitely worth stopping at this place, before continuing with our trip. I had the pistachio and salted caramel cone and especially the pistachio was amazing and as a true Italian I couldn't help but appreciate it. I highly recommend it.

Proper gelato made by the proprietor, in traditional flavours with plenty of choice (but not so much as to be overwhelming), crisp cones and a tasty wafer to boot. As a welcome alternative to increasingly sweet ice creams in the wider market, the fruit flavours were refreshingly natural and even pleasantly tart. (Also as a welcome relief from increasingly contrived flavour combinations elsewhere, this range celebrates the classics by doing them well.) Worth a visit every time we come to NOTL.

Delicious gelato and very friendly service. We stopped in two nights in a row. The dark chocolate gelato was my favorite, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the flavors. A local winery employee said it’s the best gelato in NOTL and we believe it.

My husband and I came here on a “Niagara Wow Tour” for gelatos and I thought I’ve had good gelato before but not like this. It was soooooo smooth. If it hadn’t been one of our last days I would be in real trouble of being there everyday! Staff were friendly. I think there was just one or two tables so plan to eat on the go or take it to the lake :)

The quality of their homemade gelato is amazing and when they told me that their coffee was imported from Italy I didn't have a hard time beliving that, for it was the best coffee I had ever tasted. My son also tried delcious pastries. The store was clean, cozy and welcoming. Their staff was also very helpful and made sure all safety covid rules were respected by their costumers. We 100% recommend it.

Stopped by for dessert after dinner. Had the mandarin and giandula gelato's - both were tasty and went well together. It was tough to select since they had many good gelato flavours and they had a lot of nice treats other than gelato. Would stop by again for gelato or dessert when in the area.

Discovered this a couple of years ago. I had never liked Gelato UNTIL I had Gelato at II Gelato de Carlotta. We live about 45 minutes from NOTL but we can always find an excuse to take a drive for this Gelato. The Staff are so kind and friendly. Love the variety of Gelato and Chocolate Orange is my favorite - my husband is a chocoholic and so his favorite is the Chocolate! So recommend this establishment.

This is my absolute favourite gelato shop! No matter the weather I always stop here for a gelato. They have a great variety of flavours and each one I’ve tried has been delicious (my favourites being strawberry and stracciatella). They also have a good coffe menu and make a great espresso! The staff there is amazing. Each time I’ve been there they’ve been so welcoming and friendly. The service is always quick and efficient as well. My family is from Italy and this brings us back home.

We had several different flavours and we have to say they were all amazing—coconut, gianduia, mixed berries, limone. The quality of the gelato is quite evident from the moment you take the first taste to the last bit you scape off the cup. The flavours are true and they are not at all pasty or overly sweet. We will definitely come back when visiting NOTL.

Loved this place. The staff working was so nice, interacting with the people sitting in the cafe, just so friendly. The coffee was perfection and the treats were melt in your mouth amazing. We will definitely be back the next time we are visiting the NOTL area. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast.

The quality and choices that were available were amazing. Marco was great at customer service giving spot on descriptions and also recommends some great flavours. I went with my friends recently and also came back to have some gelato early this week. Overall the experience was welcoming and pleasant.

Love this place for their coconut gelato. My favourite coconut gelato is in Thailand, but this place has changed my mind. Lots of coconut and ever so tasty. Have dropped by twice this week. Worth the drive to NOTL.
