Gelato Time - Gelateria Italiana

Authentic Italian Gelato

Located next door to Pizza Time in Historic Downtown, Gelato Time serves up handcrafted Italian gelato in a range of traditional and seasonal flavors. Whether you're looking to cool off, satisfy a sweet tooth, or cap off a meal, this popular dessert stop is a favorite for both visitors and locals.

Made Fresh, Served Fast

Gelato Time is designed for quick service. The staff serves steady foot traffic, especially during weekends. Despite the rush, service is typically quick, and guests rarely wait long.

The gelato is made in small batches, ensuring freshness. Each batch is stored and displayed in traditional pozzetti-style cases, keeping the texture smooth and the flavors exactly how they were meant to be.

Classic & Seasonal Flavors

Gelato Time makes all of its gelato in-house. The menu features a rotating selection of flavors, including creamy classics like stracciatella ("little shreds" of chocolate mixed throughout), hazelnut, and tiramisu, as well as fruit-based options like lemon, mango, and strawberry. Flavors change regularly, so there’s always something new to try.

Guests can choose between cups and cones, with the option to mix flavors. Toppings and waffle cones are also available, and portion sizes are generous.

Local Favorites

Some of the most popular flavors among regulars include pistachio and bacio (a chocolate-hazelnut blend similar to the famous Italian candy). On hotter days, fruit sorbettos like limone and blood orange are refreshing favorites. For kids, cookies and cream and birthday cake are top picks.

A Sweet Finish to Pizza Time

Gelato Time shares a wall with Pizza Time, and many guests enjoy a slice of pizza before stepping next door for dessert. It’s a convenient one-two stop, especially for visitors walking St. George Street looking for quick options.

Quick Stop, Cash Only

Gelato Time is a walk-up counter with no indoor seating, though there are public benches and shaded areas nearby. The shop does not accept credit or debit cards, so guests should bring cash. An ATM is located on site in case you forget.
