Raleigh

Yummy flowers were blooming today at Amorino. They had a variety of different gelato flavors displayed in a very clean case. I decided to go with a small cone with a blueberry cheesecake macaroon. Everything was soft and filled with flavor with each bite I took. The staff was dressed very nicely in their uniform. She told me I was able to choose up to three different flavors, but the milk chocolate flavor had me. Lol

The challenge of being gluten and dairy free is spontaneity. . Its very difficult stopping to have a great like everyone else unless you do some research. And in the heat of summer who doesn't want an ice cream. . But I researched and found Amorino had several dairy free options of Gelato which was great for our date day seeing the spider exhibit at the museum, the Lego experience, some shopping, we stopped by Amorino's I got the dark chocolate and mixed berries Gelato, my hubby got the blueberry cheesecake and a lemon Gelato, but what made this experience exceptional is the setting. We sat outside at the little bistro table and enjoyed listening to the gurgling water fountain and people watching and midday there was no trouble parking on the street. It was a sweet end to our day.

This was our first time here and we'll most likely be back! The staff is very friendly and helpful. When you walk in, you pay for what you want, and they'll give you a ticket. When they call your ticket number, they'll fix your dessert. Basically, you pay first and then choose what you want. I didn't get one but apparently they'll give you a taste if you're not sure what you want. Plenty of flavors to choose from. The three flavors I got were delicious: pistachio, blueberry cheesecake, and caramel. I was able to take others from our group and, like mine, they were delicious too! The staff keeps the space clean. There is indoor and outdoor seating. My only complaint is the price. Prices seem a little high. I don't mind splurging every now and then, as I did today. But I couldn't make this a regular stop.

Very good gelato. Kind of pricey, $6 for small. The ordering process was a bit confusing. They request that you select your order size and pay before selecting your flavors. However, no matter the size, you can only choose up to 3 so I guess it works.
