It seems strange to write a review about an ice cream parlour as if it was a restaurant, especially as to my American friends it is gelato but this really was good. It was our last day in Tucson before returning to the UK and we had kept it as our final treat and it was definitely worth the wait.... More

I have to agree with fellow reviewers, their gelato is AMAZING! I have enjoyed my indulgences at the Casas Adobes location many times and have recommended them to anyone looking for an alternative to ice cream. Unfortunately after what I witnessed I can no longer enjoy any visit there or by any means recommend this location to anyone. As we... More

Inventive flavors and the gelato is wonderful! They also display the gelato in such an artistic way, you may not want to eat it! You only really need a samll size as gelato is so satisfying, but it is so yummy you may want more :) Also, you can ask them for half of one flavor and half of another,... More

It was nice to be able to sample as much as you wanted before you purchased. The family enjoyed it and wished we had some of these stores at home. It can get pretty busy and tables outside can fill up quickly. Also there is some construction close by which makes it hard to get to if you are not... More

The crowd told it all. Many people were in line at Frost for their special gelato. We all had good luck with the numerous flavors offered at this Tucson parlor. If in the area, stop-by....it was very good....

Here at last, the real McCoy. Too many joints try to pass of icy sorbets as gelato. Here's the real deal, creamy smooth.

My wife and I were in Tucson for a month and had gelato at Frost 4 or 5 times. It was consistently excellent each time. The staff are friendly and courteous and welcome you to try as many gelato samples as you want. Their gelato is made daily and is displayed very attractively in the glass fronted coolers. There are... More

Gelato has the richest flavor, and Frost has many flavor choices - our neighborhood Frost is by Udall.

After reading all the rave reviews my husband and I had to check it out - it did not disappoint! We ended up going 3 times while we were in Tucson. Friendly staff and AMAZING gelato. We loved everything we tried.

I agree that this is not actually the best gelato in the world, or even the U.S., but can you really ever have BAD gelato? I think not. It was delicious and we were able to eat it at a table outside on a lovely Tucson evening. I'm always hesitant to take free samples, but the young man working was... More
