Small store off Hidalgo, run by an Italian ex-pat. He makes his own gelato, and it's really yum. The sherberts are really flavorful and fresh, the mango and the strawberry especially so.

This wonderful homemade gelato has been our dessert for years. Many ice cream/gelato stores have cropped lately, but none can compare to this gelato. The proprietor is from Italy, so it's genuine. He is friendly and SO accommodating! His tiramisu is to die for. It's made in a glass dish and he even let me return the dish the next... More

Loved the gelato. Sometimes the wife made homemade pastries that were excellent. Went there everynight for dessert. The wife loved our 2 year old granddaughter.

We have been frequenting this little shop of off Hildalgo Street for years. The owner is a friendly man who makes awesome gelato himself! This year there a quite a few new shops on Hildago Street but do not be confused. His is the best! Take a couple steps off Hildago Street and you will find what you have been... More

I am not a fan of ice cream or gellato but my daughter convinced me to have some after dinner and I really enjoyed it here. Worth the stop.

The gelato is amazing! It's dangerous to have something this good -- and authentic -- right outside my door. I'm tempted to try a new flavor every day. But there's another reason you should go here, The proprietors make and sell lasagna bolognese and canneloni (80 pesos each) that is the best I have ever had. No joke, amigos y... More

I take back my earlier comment - eh, review - on Trip Advisor and another gelateria that any and all are just average. Gelateria Montebianco (even though we've passed it numerous times) is tucked away quietly on Ave. Matamoros and is, in this not-so-humble reviewers opinion, the best I've found and definitely worth a trip. Molto bene!
