I loved trying most of the flavors and enjoyed my gelato when i finally decided what kind to get. A great quality espresso shot washed it down nicely. The service was friendly and easy.

Since I first visited Italy in 2008, I've said I've never tried any frozen treat like a true Italian gelato. That is until I tried Gorgeous this past Friday night... and again Saturday night. This gelato is so fresh, creamy and delicious - words don't do it justice. I chatted it up with the owner about Bologna versus Rome gelato,... More

A highly-rated stop, indeed. But set aside the hyperbole, and simply settle in for a fine, sweet treat. This is a small, very clean, tastefully creative business in the heart of the shopping district downtown Portland, steps from any of the other shops. Gelato, some pastries, coffees, and sandwiches are offered. My wife and I each had small gelato cups.... More

I don't like ice cream but the family wanted some. We compromised on Gelato. Undecided on flavors we were offered many flavor choices to try before we decided what to order. Outstanding customer service. Very patient and polite. Every flavor we tried was great. Mix and match on every size was offered. This is great when we still couldn't settle... More

With all of the amazing restaurants in Portland, Gorgeous Gelato is a nice place to grab a light dessert and an espresso after dinner. Highly recommend.

The place is excellent, in a great part of town. Awesome Gelato especially the oreo cookie one. We also tried the house favorite which was also superb. Friendly staff, very neat and clean shop. The other goodies and sandwiches also looked great, but we had just eaten lunch elsewhere and didn't try the sandwiches. We will be back for sure.... More

Wow! all I can say is WOW! This place is our Portland dessert location. No matter how good a restaurant experience, we will go here for our dessert! The last time I went, it was so good I had to ask for a solo espresso to see if the owner's skills were well versed. And...Yup! No wonder it's #1 in... More

Belissimo... just like the gelaterias in Italy. We came in with a group of people and asked to taste many flavors. Berkley was AWESOME! He was super friendly and patient and cheerful. He was proud to be working here and the owners should be proud to have. Such a nice young man representing them!

I work in New Hampshire and will gladly drive the 2 hours just to get my fix of gorgeous gelato. I have sampled gelato allover the world and this is my favorite. The flavors and texture are perfect.
