I ran in for lunch one afternoon and they had a wonderful selection. The staff was all pleasant happy and masked and the iced coffee was perfect. Lovely place to sit outside and eat while you watch the world go by

Got the tiramisu and cherry gelato, along with the mint and Oreo. The tiramisu was very flavorful, but the cherry tasted very plain. Couldn’t taste any cherry flavor at all. Mint and Oreo were both very good. A little expensive in my opinion, but it was fun to try out. Good quick service. No wait on a Saturday afternoon. The guy serving us was very polite as well.

Their gelato is definitely homemade and they always have a great selection of flavors that taste so good! It is nice to sit down and have an espresso and chat with friends. I highly recommend this place!

We just returned from Italy about 1 month ago and was craving some good gelato. We tried a couple places until we found this one tonight. The gelato was just as good if not better than what we had in Italy. It was so good. I had the classic dark chocolate and vanilla and it was delizioso. My other had pistachio and one had apple pie. They all raved about how good it was. I found my new go to. They also have breakfast stuff which I can’t wait to try. The owner, I assume he was by his accent, was super nice and tolerant of my attempt at keeping up with my Italian. Chow!!

Just thought Id try this place.. first time there, ordered BLT on a fresh bagette, it was fresh but bacon was that microwave stuff, not real . Latte lacked that latte taste .more like like a cup of cappuccino. Maybe Ill give this place another try, another day. 3 stars for a very clean Cafe and that fresh bagette .

Tiramisu tasted amazing, but my experience checking out irked me. Probably a one off thing, but it was enough of an issue for me to comment on it.Went in a little before noon just for a quick snack, and brought a box of tiramisu from the fridge to the front counter, hoping to just buy it and leave quickly. It wasnt busy at all, just two other people seated with laptops, no line.I probably stood there with my friend for 5 or 6 minutes in front of the woman at the counter to pay for my food but she was talking on her phone and fiddling with the payment tablet. I wasnt acknowledged or even greeted.

Beautiful place with a very mild jazz music playing in the background. The mocha latte and Hazelnut latte are one of the best I tasted. Egg and cheese croissant with guacamole / pesto is mind blowing.. definitely a good place to hangout on a lazy weekend

After two months away from Italy I needed a real Italian ice-cream. I finally found it here! It is the best Italian ice-cream in Boston and neighbourhood! I was looking for ice-cream and in addition I found real espresso (the best brand) and original homade Tiramisù cake. Gorgeous!

Review №24

GBA raves about Toscanini’s in Cambridge; if I lived in Cambridge I would still be a regular here. My favorites are the tiramisu and pistachio. A little extra for pistachio, b/c the pistachios are imported from Italy... just like the gelato’er himself! 😋

If you want to indulge in some truly awesome, worth the calories dessert then this is the place. Ive never had pistachio gelato like that before and on top of a waffle. Cant even explain how good it was. Must try. Even the plain cup of coffee was excellent.

Neat Cafe serving Gelato, coffee, and food. Definitely with a stop if you are in the area. The food was pretty food(ordered a small Gelato and coffee) one Sunday evening. The store is open fairly late, which can make this as a quick first date stop. The store is very clean. Will stop by again.

Good gelato, but they only let you have two samples. Uh, how am I supposed to make a decision on two data points? Be a little less stingy - it is not a good look.

First rate espresso drinks made with a genuine Italian batista! This local place has great coffee and the Gelato is to die for! Been here 5 or 6 times the last few months and I cant say enough good things about it. Much better than the chain coffee places.

I have visited at least 10 times in the past month! Every staff member is friendly, and knowledgeable about their product. My favorite Gelato is the tiramisu, and Roasted Almond. In the beginning the price seemed a bit high, but I completely understand now.You get what you pay for! I would choose one bite of Gelato, over a pint of Ben & Jerrys, strong statement, I know. They use all premium ingredients and it tastes that way!

Second time here and I can confidently say I love this place. Amazing sandwiches on freshly baked baguettes that taste just like Italy (we were there less than a year ago, so we know for sure!). GREAT cappuccinos, and totally delicious gelato. Recommend the Sicilian Cannoli! Bright and airy and you can hang around as long as you want without feeling rushed. This place is exactly what the doctor ordered in this blossoming section of Quincy Center. A little on the pricier side but the food is clearly made with high quality ingredients - the flavors are all the proof you need!

Best gelato outside of Italy. Try the pistachio, nuts imported from Italy. Made in house. Read the article posted on the wall to try other unique flavors (seasonal) but every flavor is good. I go everytime Im in area.

Visited this place for the first time yesterday (3/25/19). The decor was very nice. Even the bathroom was quite fancy! Lots of delicious gelato flavors to choose from and the individual who waited on me was so nice and patient. You can get two flavors or more in one cup. I tried caramel and the cannoli gelato and both were delicious! I hope places like this get lots of local support and can stay in business. Its a true Quincy treasure, so be sure to check it out!

The Tirramisu gelato was great. It was my first time going in to try the ice cream. They have many flavors ranging from passion fruits to coffee. My friend has been going in there alot just to try the passion fruit gelato but from the last one I saw her she has yet to try it😅. They have very good cakes too.
