Customer Reviews

Cute husband and wife run gelateria. The owners spent three years researching and experimenting with recipes in order to replicate authentic italian gelato. Friendly service and delicious gelato. There is also a very European vibe with the numerous coffee choices and unusual soups and paninis. A must try!

We have mostly bought Via Gelato from the various concerts a festivals at the Glen.  Just about every flavor is amazing and the staff is so nice.  Don't miss the raspberry with chocolate chip gelato or especially the Pomegranate/Blueberry Sorbetto.

Most of me hates going to The Glen for anything. Fake downtown and chains stores abounding. But Via Gelato completely redeems this shopping center, and I'm here at least two or three times a week.  It's a small business owned by Ron & his wife who knew me by name after my first visit. The staff is incredibly friendly & helpful, the place is clean & has a great atmosphere.

They have the best Gelato I've ever had in the US, and they learned from a Venetian so it's truly authentic. Every flavor exceeds your xpectations, and if Gelato isn't your thing they also have a variety of Sorbetto (water-based, like Sherbert) & also sugar-free flavors are offered daily.

Their espresso is also awesome. They offer a drink where the espresso is brewed with some hazelnut Gelato which is better than anything Starbucks down the street could dream of imagining making.

Best Gelato in all of Chicago!!!
By ndavid1 from morton grove, Sep 6, 2008

This is by far my favorite gelato place in all of Chicago. Having lived in Italy for six months, I can tell you that Via Gelato's homemade gelato is the closest you can get to eating authentic gelato from Italy. Their sorbets are my favorite...I always get the Pomegranate and Lemon flavors together. I love that they have new flavors almost everyday. Even their food is great. Their tuscan panini is delicious and their salads are amazing as well. The owners are extremely nice and welcoming. The cafe's ambiant environment makes me feel like I'm back in Italy again. If you are in the area, definitely try this place out!

Absolutely Delicious

I work in the Glen, so I'm stuck having Glen food... all the time. It's the only place I have yet to get tired of, even though they have been here for over a year. The food is fantastic, and the owners are the sweetest people you could meet. When everything gets slow, we always toss one person outside to grab us some gelato, which is always lovely. I'll occasionally bribe someone to get me a crepe, which are absolutely phenominal, trumping some that I've had in France.

It's something to try out once, and I'm sure something you'll go back to again. =)
