Good Gelato collection. My favorite coconut flavor.

Always good. I remember coming here when Nadia Comaneci was in the Olympics.

Posted this under the shops new branding but repasting😊******Cute little shop, very nice staff. Love the texture of the gelato here--just a small cup hits the spot. My go-to wherever Im in the area is half/half: blackberry cabernet sorbet and stracciatella. So good!! Crunchy chocolate bits, and then the tart wine-y flavor is an amazing contrast.Honey lavender is creamy and pleasant--I much prefer this subdued lavender smell than the version around the corner.

Good flavors but pathetically small portions. A size large would be a small elsewhere. There is a similar shop on University Ave.(about 2 blocks away) which has much larger portions for the money.

New branding and management who decided to double (!) prices since 2019. I used to get an espresso here for something around $1.9-2. Now it’s almost $4. Same with ice cream.

My favorite ice cream place in Palo Alto for 30 years. So many others have come and gone in the surrounding area, and some of those were the hot spot with super long lines for a while, but this place has outlasted them all because of their great selection, taste, AND value. Usually over 30 flavors in stock, and a small cup split into 2 flavors for less than $5 is usually all you need. But your first time, or on some hot day when you really deserve it, upgrade to the 3 flavors (

Good gelato that were used to, just like in SF.

Tried pistachios, no flavor of pista, and the texture was not good :(

The best Gelato ice-cream in the Bayarea. If you are in the Stanford area a must experience place. You will not regret it.

Nice selection of flavors here. A unique one is lychee ö!

Pistachio is so good. Love the vanilla waffle it comes with too. By far my favorite

Its delicious!

Awesome gelato and really fresh! I wonder why people wait in line for 15 minutes in other locations nearby (e.g. Salt and Straw) while this place is cheaper, it’s tastier, and you will have more choices.

Although right next to parking it is not easy to find a spot here during dinning time. It is a small shop and only one person behind the counter when we went. She was very friendly and fast. There is a bench to sit outside. They accept credit cards and have a NFC machine also. Metal spoons are for tasting, dont forget to leave them behind.

The gelato was yummy! The perfect reward after a tough week.

Good variety and yummy gelato

Not good gelato.When I was there the gelato was sweaty (melting) which gave it an icy texture. They should have better procedures to keep the gelato at the right temperature.I sampled a few flavors and they were all pretty flat. I would not recommend this place.

The store had a make over.My favorite is the dark chocolate. It has a thick texture which is great.Staff is super friendly.

Cool ice cream place

Nice place to stop by when walking in Downtown Palo Alto.

Gelato made from buffalo milk !My gastronomy astronomy map unveiled all the gastronomical signs and led me to this gelato-cally ripe location! It was clear to me that I needed to go for some frozen sweet stuff after filling up with super spicy Burmese food down the street. Yes, something to calm the gurgling excitement caused by red peppery heavenly platters.Ah, palette pleasing and sweet tooth satiating! ... also the staff laughed at all my silly jokes. A perfect day to a perfectly edible adventure in downtown Palo Alto.

This place has some of the best flavors Ive ever had. I highly recommend the lavender, ginger & pistachio.

Im Italian and to me Gelato Classico is the most authentic gelato in Palo Alto (if not the Bay Area). The best!

Have none of these 5-star raters actually eaten Italian gelato before? It certainly isnt whats offered at this place. EXTRAORDINARILY icy. I was actually crunching on ice. And the fact that some of the flavors were melted before even being served is a testament to the of ice-to-cream ratio. Its made cheaply.

A small gelato and sorbet parlor with just enough walk-in room to stand in front of the showcase and consider your choices. Gelato Classico may offer 300 flavors, but note that this location does not provide them all at once - just a handful. Still, this location is in convenient distance to a high school, a university, and the public transportation lines. Great for a student to walk in on a hot day, get a quick cold treat, and get back to studies.

This food place offers a lot of flavors and great consistency texture and the colors is what I say. Its a small place on one side of the street apart from the main downtown area so you will have to look for it.

Great ice cream! Friendly staff.

If you walk here from Menlo Park in the summer, you will find it easy to justify getting 2nds and 3rds.

FYI closes at 10 not 11 on Friday ☹️👋

Flavors are delicious and so unique! The honey lavender one was nothing like anything I’ve tasted before.

Incredible ice cream. My dad grew up in Palo Alto, and every time we visit he goes to Gelato Classico (this location) twice a day. Its delicious; try the chocolate carmello crunch

This place has some of the best gelatos Ive ever had. Its well reviewed and for good reason. My personal favorite is Pistachio, but theres tons more and youll certainly find a flavor that you like.

Neat, not crowded, off track gilato bar. Some flavors are not cold enough.

This is the sister store of the one located on Castro St in Mountain View. Just as good!

My favorite Gelato place for last 20 years. Try its caramel, hazelnut, creme brulee and lavender flavors. Best in town.

I gotta take advantage of all the warm days we get in the Bay. Considering it was a nice day and I just finished a hike, I thought some gelato afterwards would fit in well. There was line out the door and down the sidewalk a little, but mostly because its a super small place. There are 2 tables outside you can hang out in if youre lucky enough to grab a seat. Otherwise, you can take it across the street near where Pizza My Heart is and enjoy it in the picnic area there which is what we did. The have a lot of flavors to choose from and they let you sample it. To be honest, I cant even remember what flavors I got, but I remembered them being pretty good. It was definitely something chocolate-y and mocha-y. You feel a lot of pressure choosing your flavors quickly because the place is so small and theres probably a line behind you. The cool thing is that you can choose 2-4 flavors in one cup (depending on what size cup you get).Overall, this is a good place to satisfy your sweets craving on a nice day.

Small and nice place for delicious ice cream and coffee is good

Great flavors, great service

Good gelato that reminds me of Italy. They have a location here and in Mountain View that can get pretty busy. They have all the traditional Italian flavors, I always go with stracciatella and it is fantastic.

Very good gelato. Not too sweet, not too heavy, just perfect.

This gelato place is really cute and tiny and the best way to top off a date night after strolling through University. Flavors are awesome (ginger, pistachio, tiramisu...) really helpful staff.

Delicious homemade ice cream. Flavor is so natural you wouldnt believe it!

Tasty gelato. Unchanged for years, and in this case, thats a good thing. Line can be a little long.

Was a bit runny when we were there. No line though. The one in Mt. View is much better, though has a very long a line most of the time.

We have been coming to this place for gelato for more than 10 years. Highly recommended.

All of University avenue has a certain charm about it, and this gelato place IS really classic. You can spend the day here or even just go for dinner and wrap up your night with gelato and it just completes your night in a perfect way.

A lot of good flavors to choose from. Lavender and ginger are favs.

Yummy. Kind of melted quickly but it was good. The scoops here are small but the taste of the gelato flavor is huge.

The expresso bean gelato is the best... i may be lactose intolerant but id have that gelato anyday.

Great selection of flavors and I have never been disappointed!

This is horrible, overpriced, frizen foodstuff. Doesnt even deserve to be called gelato.

Rudest customer service I’ve ever experienced. We walked out after the cashier barked at us to shut the door.

Our family stops here after every meal at Jing Jings. Lots of good flavors to choose from.

Very good gelato with various size options.

Very good Gelato - espresso bean always.

This is and has been my favorite ice cream store in Palo Alto for the last decade plus. Forget any other options this the place to go

Still my favorite gelato place in the world and Ive still never been to italy
