| - I went to Vivido Gelato over the weekend, and it was my first time having gelato since I was in Italy a couple of years ago. I got a small cup of the swiss chocolate and my friend got a small cup of the tiramisu gelato.
One reviewer who posted back in May 2010 said that a small cup of gelato cost $4.55. Either Vivido has lowered their prices since then, or that review was misleading.
The small cups are $3.55 each, and the mediums are $4.55, and the small serving is quite sufficient for a normal human being. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who consumes a medium or large serving in one sitting is committing the sin of gluttony. It's an ugly sin, and nothing to gloat about.
We decided to sit and enjoy our gelato in the small lobby, while the two other parties of customers took theirs to go. Although I cannot say it was the best gelato I've ever tasted, I thought it was very delicious and worth coming for.
When the party with children left, our server came out from behind the counter with a bottle of Windex and wiped the fresh hand smudges from the window glass in front of the gelato. Then the manager came over to our table to make sure we were happy and satisfied.
Located in the Boca Park shopping center, Vivido has a lot going for it. It has a large selection of flavors, several size options, including by the pint or quart if you want to take some home with you. It also serves coffee, although I didn't try any. The service was friendly, the prices not unreasonable, and the establishment is very well maintained. The employees are meticulous about keeping the window glass clean and smudge-free, and the chairs, tables and floors spotless.
I will definitely be back to try other flavors and maybe some of their coffee.
