A nice place in Seattle downtown. Selection of desserts $4 each. Not too sweet and decent. Wish they had something warm for the cozy Seattle weather…

Best place in Seattle for cold treats! The flavors of the gelato are bold and tasty, and it’s really hard to decide which was my favorite, but their pistachio was the BEST I’ve ever had! They also have tiramisu and fruit cakes which are also lovely

We came here to get dessert right before the Seattle Symphony started. It’s right across the street and closes before most shows at 7 PM. There was about 15 minutes to closing, and it felt like the staff was not happy about us coming in, but there was already people eating in there so we felt what’s another two person order? The gelato is very well made with the traditional flavors of Italy and at least one seasonal flavor that’s more contemporary. The flavors aren’t sugary and fake like you might find at other places, they taste like what they actually are with the pistachio being quite nutty and the cappuccino one being very strong and slightly bit of delicious cappuccino flavor. They have a lot of baked goods to take as a gift to wherever you’re headed to.

I thought Vegas had the best Gelato. Not correct. It is in Seattle- specifically at Gelatiamo. I had x3 flavors in my own cup (and tried the x3 out of my boyfriend's as well).

Really good gelato which does truly use a unique base for each flavor. This really makes the flavors rich and deep. My favorites are easily the pistachio, rice, and coconut, though their sorbets are all solid too. The waffle cone isn't necessary; the gelato shines on its own.

Delicious! My server, Luna, recommended a fruit tart to me, and it was amazing! She was very helpful and the pastry was so good! You can tell they’re all made in house, it was very fresh and not to sweet, I will definitely be coming back!

Stopped by Gelatiamo and tried their pistachio and chocolate gelato in a cone. The flavors were rich and creamy—especially the pistachio, which had a nice nutty depth without being overly sweet. The chocolate was smooth and indulgent, a great complement. The texture was spot-on and the cone was fresh and crisp. Overall, a solid gelato experience in downtown Seattle. Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving something sweet.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Seattle, Gelatiamo - Seattle offers a sincere taste of Italian tradition coupled with cozy café charm. This ice cream shop, located at 1400 3rd Ave, is a destination for lovers of authentic gelato and artisanal desserts that capture true flavors without the overpowering sweetness found elsewhere.

The highlight here is undoubtedly the gelato. Their expertly crafted scoops and pints showcase classic Italian flavors like pistachio and cappuccino, alongside seasonal variations that bring a fresh twist. The pistachio gelato stands out with its nutty richness — bold yet balanced, a sentiment echoed by many patrons. Beyond gelato, the menu extends to elegant desserts such as tiramisu cake, cannoli, and their delicate biscotti tray, complementing the smooth espresso options perfectly. Gelatiamo’s bakery selections—croissants and chocolate cake—add another layer of indulgence that cater to both sweet cravings and a comforting café vibe.

What resonates most is the authenticity in each bite. Unlike other dessert shops where flavors may be artificially amplified, Gelatiamo maintains purity. For instance, the cappuccino gelato captures the strong, slightly bitter essence of real espresso, enhancing the experience rather than masking it. The salted caramel and stracciatella ice cream cake further demonstrate their mastery in blending textures and tastes with finesse.

The atmosphere is inviting and intimate, a spot praised for its cozy ambiance ideal for both casual meetups and working quietly with a warm drink. While some have hoped for warmer offerings for Seattle’s chilly days, the combination of rich gelato, hot chocolate, and quality bakery items still manages to soothe the soul.

For those seeking a genuine Italian dessert experience downtown, Gelatiamo - Seattle is a gem that pairs rich heritage with consistent quality — an essential stop whether you're before a symphony show or winding down your day in the city. It’s a place where the art of gelato is celebrated with every scoop and every thoughtfully crafted accompaniment.
