This gelato is the BEST! So smooth, so creamy. All homemade. I got to chat with the owner and hes very knowledgeable and friendly. He even made up his own flavor, a cookies and cream that was to die for. I highly recommend this place!

Best Gelato on the west coast! And, a small business looking to grow! Owned and operated by beautiful and knowledgeable professionals, who know how to generate outstanding quality for their customers. Looking forward to my next visit!

Wonderful little Gelato place. Ty let us sample many wonderful flavors and we were blown away with all the delicious choices. The place does need some bigger or more visible signs because we almost gave up and went to Dairy Queen. They also need to be listed on the mall guide.

BEST. GELATO. EVER. Was served by the owner himself, who was very kind and took the time to walk my friend and I through how he makes the gelato each night in his kitchen and experiments with his flavors and recipes. The raspberry was the freshest I’ve ever tasted, and the chocolate was so creamy and thick! My friend had the cookies and cream and said she’d never had anything so delicious before. The owner said he hasn’t sold to a bigger company because they want to add artificial, unhealthy ingredients, and he’s committed to his fresh, pure flavors. Please support this amazing business - you will NOT be disappointed!

Best gelato I have ever had in all states! Better than ANY ice cream as the owner grates his own vanilla beans even. Superb quality!! Now he can grow enough in his business to maintain the quality and plant a location at the Waterfront Park. Lets help him expand out of the Mission Valley mall into many locations! Free samples, too. Such a convincing worker handing out samples that I broke my fast!

Quality ingredients and passion are put into the Gelato here and you can taste the difference! Tastes EXACTLY like the small family shops on the streets of Italy. Customer service is over the top and absolutely genuine. Lovely family owned small business. Going here is a MUST for all San Diegans

Ive tried Gelato all over California, but I was completely blown away by this place. The owner, who immigrated from Italy to pursue his dreams of sharing gelato with people across the world, makes all of his own recipes with healthy ingredients. He doesnt try to cut costs to increase his profit margins. You are free to request any taste tests. I personally loved the tiramisu and hazelnut flavors. The hazelnut was not powdery at all like some other places. Covid has hit small businesses like this one pretty hard, so I would definitely swing by and hear his story or just have a bite of world class gelato if you have time! You can even take pints and quarts to bring home! I live about 40 minutes away and it was still good by the time I got home! Just leave in the freezer as long as needed.

Review №18

Delicious, convenient, and affordable. If you think you want to order a Frappuccino from Starbucks that is pretty much ice cream anyway, walk 100 feet to Milkissimo for a few free samples and some top quality Gelato. They have a yummy coffee flavor in their normal rotation and they constantly bring new flavors out to try!

Free samples are the best for new flavors and helps pick better choices for a good taste. Plus, they deliver now and cant wait to get some more.

Extremely delicious 🤤. The owner was friendly, and makes everything himself! All natural, vegan and dairy free options. (My brother who is lactose was also able to enjoy something). Most definitely recommend and would certainly return when in San Diego. I didn’t even know I enjoyed Gelato till today. Bought a total of 3 for my family.

My husband and I came here for the first time today after passing it on a few occasions, and we had been missing out! Between us we got 5 different flavors and all were amazing. Staff was incredibly kind and we would highly recommend anyone in the area to stop here for some of the tastiest gelato. ☺️

The Gelato are tasty and smooth packed with flavors. And what made it better was the owners enthusiasm and manners, as well as his sense of humor. He is great at satisfying his customers with a smile, and lets you try as many flavors as you want while always being friendly. His Gelato are fresh & homemade. I recommend anyone who wants to try Gelato, or something new, to pay him a visit. You wont regret it.

I have never wanted to give a place more than 5 stars, but this was one of the best experiences I have had. The quality of the Gelato is outstanding, and that has to come from the owners pure passion for this. I have never had better service. I honestly left feeling so purely happy. It is another level witnessing someone elses excitement and dedication to their craft, and this Gelato is crafted magnificently. I wish I knew about this San Diego gem sooner.

First of all, the couple that owns this business is so sweet! Both very high energy & friendly which is super refreshing, especially here in California. They alone make it worth purchasing from their small business. Now, the gelato is absolutely delicious! My husband picked up their coffee flavor and I ordered the cookies & cream, both were the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend you stop by and grab some to try for yourself. :)

Love this place ... The Gelato is all amazing. You can taste the fresh ingredients and see the actual ingredients mixed in. I had three servings, fig, pistachio and strawberry mint. WOW ... I havent had Gelato that good ever. They have tons of vegan options as well, I dont eat Vegan but I tasted a few and they were awesome. They have about 20 different flavors if not more, so youre sure to find two or three flavors that youll love! Its easy to find by Target and Outback steakhouse in Mission Valley. They also have a few tables out front so you can enjoy the people watching. Give yourself a little time to enjoy a few samples first.

The owner, Klaudio, was kind and generous. He had a zest for his craft and we could tell that he really enjoys what he does. He caught our ears as he yelled, “free samples!” He did not pressure us to buy anything but we had no choice once we tasted his flavors. We had the raspberry and the cookies and cream. We will be making more trips to this little stand soon!

Review №73

We stumbled across this gentleman and his gelato stand as he offered free samples from afar. We ate the offer, and he proceeded to provide us with just about every sample under the sun. He insisted that we stay and try as many flavors as our hearts desired. There was a story to every flavor, and they were each uniquely spectacular and packed a punch. This man was full of genuineness and wanted nothing more than to make our day just a little better with some gelato. He has a heart of gold. The gelato was amazing, but the service was amazing-er! Highly recommend to all!

Review №85

They are new!I first tried this place about a month ago, only because one of the workers called my friend and I to try samples of their gelato! I got the Italian cookies and cream and the dark chocolate gelato (the dark chocolate gelato happened to be vegan!). It was SO GOOD. I brought my boyfriend there with me another week to have him try it as well. We got the same thing, except we got normal chocolate because they were out of the dark chocolate that day. It was still delicious! My boyfriend said it was probably the best gelato he has ever had so far! Thats a heavy statement.Even if you dont buy anything from them, the free samples are worth trying and their customer service is amazing! They have very sweet workers!
