The mayan chocolate (hint of spice) was my favorite, my children prefer the fruity flavors. Gelato Fiasco is always delicious, its worth a special trip!

The gelato is delicious. It's so good and the flavors so varied, I signed up for their daily flavors' emails so I know when to rush down and get my treat. It delicious and the atmosphere and staff are just top notch - it's like going to a friend's house. Perfect for the whole family.

Wow! That about sums up this place. My wife and I honeymooned in Italy 9 years ago and had a fair share of gelato there. Gelato Fiasco blows away any we had in Italy. It also topped our list of recent ice-cream favorites. We recently visited family in Columbus, OH and had Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream (not our first time)... More

We have visited this place many times during the time our daughter attended a local college, but will continue to do so after she graduates, despite an hour's drive! The sheer number of selections means everyone can have the perfect choice. You can also combine several flavors into any size dish. The gelato and sorbetto are excellent, never freezer burned...

Gelato Fiasco is one of my all-time favorite places. The atmosphere is fun and friendly, the staff are great, and the gelato is simply amazing. It's all made fresh daily on site and many flavors feature local ingredients like Maine milk and wild blueberries. There are so many flavors to choose from and they're inventive without being over the top.... More

A huge selection of fresh gelato and sorbettos. They make it fresh daily and the flavors change day to day. They even give free tastes of as many flavors as you like. They have won awards and are consistently voted as a top favorite gelato destination. Very friendly atmosphere. A fun outing day or night. They dream up the most... More

You can taste the care and creativity that went into your gelato. It always amazes me to watch the staff be so patient with the customer who tries all 30 flavors. I want to scream "IT'S ICE CREAM. PICK IT. IT'S NOT A CAR!!!" The ingredients are fresh and the flavors are inspired. Worth the calories.

This was my first visit to the Brunswick store. I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly and eager to serve. My daughter and I tried several flavors before making our choices and they were all presented with a smile. The portions were generous and delicious. The shop is spacious and inviting. Don't hesitate to stop in.

The Gelato Fiasco has been in town for awhile and made its mark in many ways from helping others in the community to providing a place for people to meet with their friends of all ages. However, make no mistake about it. This does not happen unless the gelato is a great product and it is. Although the hot summer... More
