    Be sure to save room after dinner for a visit to our Portland, Maine gelato shop. Located in the heart of the Old Port, we've been serving Greater Portland since 2010. Made from local, all-natural, and high-quality ingredients in small batches by our Milanese-trained gelato makers, our authentic Italian Gelato has fewer calories and 70% less fat than premium ice cream. Best Gelato west of Italy!!

    • Q:

      Do you serve vanilla gelato? It is surprisingly hard to find!

      A:

      Yes, we have it a couple of times a week. Thanks a lot, Donato

      So good we went twice on our trip! I didn't have a flavor I didn't like, but I especially loved the pistachio and everyone really liked their special gorgeous flavor.

      Highly recommend. It's definitely at the center of everything and easy to walk to if you're already around the area.

      It is a bit of a smaller shop so if you have a large group, it might be hard to accommodate.

      We didn't have great service the first night, but perhaps we came too close to closing with a lot of people. They limit samples to 2. Put the second time we came, the person helping us was very friendly.

      good gelato place with good portions-- the person at the counter filled our cups a lot! i enjoyed the hazelnut flavor a lot and liked the wafer they added. also appreciated the amount of vegan options!

      the place is really cute and in the cute little shopping street in downtown portland.

      Lovely gelato, I tend to go once or twice a week. The service has always been lovely and each person behind the counter has been very sweet, often chatting about small things like Star Wars. The aesthetic is lovely and fits the downtown Portland vibe. Major recommend. I love the espresso gelato.

      vegan blood orange and chocolate!!! After recovering from an ER stay, this was the first thing I ate to help me get my appetite back. So delicious and light. This is the best ice cream in all of Portland. Super quality.

      Wow wow wow. What absolutely wonderful gelato! I had rum chocolate and chestnut, and my husband had the rum chocolate with coconut. The flavors were so fresh and delicious; I'd never tried chestnut gelato before and it was excellent. The wafer-like cookie on top was a nice touch.

      The owners make their products on site and we enjoyed chatting with one owner while we enjoyed our gelato.

      Excellent gelato, can't fault it. This time I tried pistachio and amaretto which were both excellent. They were served at the right temperature which made the texture perfectly creamy and spoonable. I downed the cup so quickly without getting brain freeze! A must for a hot Portland day.

      I get tripped up by the entrance on my annual Portland visit - there's a handle to pull but it is actually a push and I always think the door is locked and end up standing there baffled for a minute!

      My husband and I went out on a date night out of CT and had the opportunity to try out this gelato shop! Everyone there was very kind and friendly. It's a small shop but you can tell the gelato is fresh and made with the best ingredients! Everytime we go to Portland now we look forward to coming back here!

      My boyfriend and I noticed this place on our walk before dinner and knew we had to come back! First off such a cute little name and the owner is a doll! He was so friendly, helpful and extremely passionate about his gelato flavors. Not only does Gorgeous Gelato have gelatos but they also have Italian coffees, espresso, and Italian liquors! Such a nice touch!

      We decided to split a medium cup of the pana cotta and the gorgeous flavor! Pana cotta was my favorite! Honestly one of the best gelatos I've had outside of Italy! There is a gelato place across the street that we tried and did not enjoy as much! This place is the real deal! Def a must go to when visiting Portland!

      We got the gorgeous & the pana cotta medium cup! So DELISH! Moto bene!

      After our spicy Thai dinner last night, I mentioned to my wife that any "Thing" sweet would be great put out the fire in my mouth.
      She recommended that instead of Uber'ing back to our hotel, we should walk back and we would probably find something on the way that would work.
      Low and behold she was correct!
      We walked by Gorgeous Gelato on Fore St. and the line was out the door.
      What better endorsement it that?
      We waited in line and I took notice of all of the flavors and concoctions people were buying.
      It was eye candy for me.
      I ended up ordering a 1/2 caramel gelato and 1/2 coconut gelato in a cup with a cookie. I couldnt have been happier.
      My wife orderd a fudge gelato and she too was a happy camper.
      Portland, Maine has been one exciting culinary journey. One thing after another is just working.
      Gorgeous Gelato was part of this odyssey!

      Cozy nice little ice cream shop in downtown Portland. I love the pistachio and rum chocolate flavors. The vegan flavors are more on the sweeter side though. Staff is super nice and everyone can try two flavors.
