| - So my bf and I came here before dinner to grab a snack. We were scheduled in a couple hours to eat at Michael Mina's for dinner, but it was hot and I wanted ice cream. Art of Flavors had such high ratings, I had to try it and see what the hype was about!
It's a small gelato shop in a small strip area w/ limited parking on the downtown side of vegas. It wasn't crowded when we got there, but we noticed a lot of people just dropping in to buy pints of the gelato to-go. They have so many flavors and the display is so colorful to look at. At the time we went, they didn't have some of the crazy flavors I wanted to try like FRIED CHICKEN LOL :( However, the lady who was helping us, was very sweet. She literally let us sample all the flavors we wanted lol. I love it when they do that w/ a smile! We each got two scoops and a cookie. The cookie was just ok, but the gelato was good.
You can really taste the freshness of the gelato here, it's different than the typical gelatos you get at vegas buffets. Quality is better, but I wished it were more creamy. The portion size is a good amount, but I found that their gelato melts quickly. There were so many flavors it was hard to pick! My bf got the raspberry & coconut, it was very refreshing. I got the cookie butter and their signature fior di latte. It's a good gelato shop, but nothing TOO special. I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here from the strip when there are a bunch of dessert places on the strip.
