| - Buongiorno! Amato Gelato Café is located on Kensington Road in the NW. They share a parking lot with other small shops so parking can be limited and it can get full on hot summer days.
Amato Gelato specializes in authentic Italian Gelato & Sorbetto. When you walk into the café, you are greeted with a large display case that features 72 different flavors. The flavors are rotated daily to provide as much variety as possible.
I stumbled upon this place with my oldest brother. He was visiting and we were out running errands when we started to get hungry. We were on Kensington Road and saw this place so we decided to see what they offered. When I walked in, I was in awe. I couldn't believe how large the display of gelatos and sorbets were. It was just...awesome!!!! We took our time to look at all the flavors offered. They offer SO MUCH....fruity, coffee, chocolates, green tea, lavender, black sesame and classics like vanilla, cookies and crème and mint chocolate chip just to name a few.
How it works is, you order and pay at the cash register and get a receipt. You then give it to the people who will take your receipt and then your order. When they know you've paid ...you can sample as many gelatos and sorbets until you find the right ones that satisfy your taste buds. We got the two scoops in a cup. I tried different flavors but always go one scoop peanut butter chocolate and the other is usually something new....pistachio, caramel...white chocolate raspberry, depends on my mood! They use to offer a plastic cups as the cup but now they've moved on to paper cups but that doesn't interfere with how delicious the gelato is!!!!
Amato Gelato also offers grilled paninis, coffee, pastries and customs cakes. They've got a freezer display of Italian goodies as well.
When I hit up Amato Gelato...it feels like I'm back in Italy with only the best gelato in the world. :) Give them a try..they've got great hours!
