    Recommended by locals. This place is a gem. All hand and home made ice cream. We had to wait a little while to get in but man was it amazing. Some of the best ice-cream I have ever had. Make sure you go out of your way for a special treat! My favorite is the peppermint batk and cherry cheese cake!

    We LOVED this place. I had mapped it out before we arrived into the area and we all decided that instead of having desserts at the restaurants we would walk after dinner and get a ice cream and we did it several days in a row. It’s a wonderful place for a big treat or a little treat

    We went here every single day in the 4 days that we visited Staunton. There's snow outside but their gelato is good so, here we are. All the flavors were good. I remember the coffee toffee and espresso, the apple pie, peppermint, maple walnut... Also they served hot choco which was perfect for the snowy week They're also open until 10pm which is great for when you want some dessert after dinner

    Me and my husband came here and this is absolutely delicious! It’s not too sweet but isn’t bland at all. If we lived in VA we would definitely return! Would recommend :) Also- side note: I’m from Italy and this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to authentic pistachio ice cream in America.
