I am a gelato connoisseur and was excited to try Belgian Gelato. Unfortunately, the tip off should have been "Belgian" and "Gelato" in the same name. The gelato was just ok. About on par with regular ice cream in my opinion. It just didn't wow me like most gelato I have had. It's nice for a cool treat, but not... More

My husband and I went to Belgian Gelato to ride out the rain with our two little girls (3 yrs old and 3 months old). The girls working that day were so sweet to my 3 year old! She had a great time talking to them and dancing for them! The gelato was so very good, too! And they had... More

They are handmade and delicious but it is very expensive for the portion sizes. With the hot weather in Charleston you have to eat very quickly.

They were very busy and the service was so-so. I ordered two flavors in a cup and they got one of them wrong. When I went back, they gave me a small cup of the second flavor (ok ... I guess). But now I had two overfilled cups to carry to the park next door. We discovered that gelato melts... More

On a long walk exploring the city streets we stumbled upon this great establishment. Located on a charming little street there was a crowd of customers who knew where to go. We ordered the pistachio and lemon sorbets and we both said simultaneously " best I ever had". A must do on a hot day for your sweet tooth.

I usually go more for sorbets or frozen yogurt, but couldn't resist giving this gelato a try. I'm SO glad I did! Went for the Chocolate Praline and you could immediately tell they use the good stuff! My companion had the pistachio and it was crazy nutty! Can't say enough about the staff! Super friendly and offered samples to ensure... More

The servers were very friendly. You can taste test the different flavors - I fell in love with the Pistachio. I also thought they were very generous in their scoops considering a lot of ice cream places go kind of skimpy (I got one scoop but it was plenty). While there is no seating in the actual establishment, it is... More

The gelato is fairly good. But, I wouldn't call it remarkable or significantly above average. The high price and lack of seating (i.e. no seating at all) is a negative. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

I fell in love with gelato on a trip to Italy and wanted to compare this to what we had there. I had a chocolate gelato that definitely met my chocolate needs! If you're looking for fruity frozen treats, this has only a couple of options, but creamy selections are quite good.

This place is delicious! Try the chocolate mint or the lemon which was very good! Also, if you get a cone, it has something extra delicious to it!!
