Our family loves Rio de Gelato! Stopping there is a MUST every time we go downtown. The gelato is, hands down, the most delicious I have ever tried. It is so fresh and the flavors are so vibrant! If you go for the gelato, you may as well try the pizza and coffee too. The coffee is authentic, imported Italian coffee, so rich and flavorful! And the pizza! It is wonderful too! The crust is simple and soft with a slightly crisp bottom, which doesn't overshadow the toppings (like greasy fast food pizza crust tends to do). And if the wonderful food and coffee weren't enough, the owner, Alfredo, is simply the kindest, most genuine person around.
Just went in for the first time this past weekend with my friends - we LOVED it. Words cannot describe the amazing experience we had here! The owner, Alfredo, is a kind man who cares a lot about the food he makes. He sold us on a delicious margherita pizza to share, and we loved every bite - the freshest basil and tomato I have ever had on a pizza. After, he was happy to have us try all of the DELICIOUS gelato his son had made. All of them were equally delightful and made the experience so much better. Even if you don't have time to stop in and eat a whole pizza (which you should), at least stop in for the amazing gelato and Alfredo's fun stories and jokes. I can't wait to come back!
