Yummy gelato! I'm lactose intolerant but I always sneak a taste of the new flavors that they have. My go-to are the sorbets and they're always so fresh and delicious ! Also- they're super friendly, they will let you try as many flavors as you like!
I came here the other day and got the Chocolate Amaretto and the Pistachio Almond in a waffle cone. The chocolate amaretto was super delicious. If it was a little colder outside, I would have gotten a latte or something. Their coffees look really good! The guy working behind the counter is SUPER nice. He even gave us a Paciugo frequent buyer card with a free gelato already on it to use our next time!
Hands down my favorite gelato in town. While they are an Indian-owned Texas chain, they use all Italian equipment and mixes. I always judge a gelateria by the intensity of three flavors - pistachio, hazelnut, and gianduja. Truly great gelato will sing with nutty flavors as theirs does. They have a large selection of sorbettos in unusual flavors like mango, papaya, strawberry black pepper, violet, even chocolate for the lactose-intolerant and gelatos like cherries jubilee, stracciatella, tiramisu, cinnamon, and rum raisin.

When you come to Paciugo, leave your inhibitions at the door and prepare yourself for a BEAUTIFUL gelato experience... I have had gelato all around Houston: Whole Foods, Gelato Blu, Piccomolo, Trentino, etc... and Paciugo is by far the best out of anything I've ever had. It was like they knew I was coming and were equipped with a million sample spoons so I could try every flavor. The most memorable ones for me were the Rose Chocolate Chip and S'Mores. They were terribly delicious. I apologized after my 10th flavor sample and the associate helping me said, "No worries, I know that the more flavors I let you try, the more likely you will come back again." These are words of good customer service.
My boyfriend had the medium size with Strawberry Sorbet, Lemon Sorbet, Turtle Cheesecake Gelato, and Amaretto Chocolate Chip. He says it was the perfect combination of sweet and creamy with cold and tangy. He was half finished eating his by the time we paid.
I ordered a gelato sundae... I will never have a normal sundae ever again. My flavors were Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Black Cherry Swirl, and Pecan Praline. My 3 decadent gelatos were served in a cup with dark chocolate sauce swirled inside and topped with whipped cream and almonds. Once I started devouring my sundae, I discovered these AMAZING candied black cherries and crunchy mini-meringhe bites in the bottom. Don't even ask what they are, just fall in love with them.
One word of warning though... once you have experienced Paciugo, you will want to go back again and again. It's only been 3 hours, and I wish I could have another bite of that unbelievable, delicious gelato.
