Editorial Review for Capogiro Gelateria – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Wood floors and modern decor constructed from blue blown-glass bottle lamps and cool, curvy glass display cases, make this Italian-style gelateria a hangout for Europeans and wannabes. It's a bright spot on a street that's gradually being brought back to life. The use of fresh, local ingredients make the unusual flavors shine, although the cost (close to $5 for a small size) may give you pause.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyIf you're light in the wallet, you can get a mini-serving, which still allows you room to taste two varieties.
When to GoWeather permitting, you can people-watch from an outdoor table.
Know Before You GoGelato has less calories than ice cream, as it's made from milk, not cream. Also, there's less air whipped into it and it's kept at a higher temperature than ice cream, giving it that concentrated, melt-in-your mouth appeal.
User Reviews for Capogiro Gelateria

Amazing and creative. Every season brings in new flavors and new combinations to try out. I love their variety of local and imported products, especially mixing it with liquor. My absolute favorites are Cilantro/Lime, Mint/Pineapple, Mojito, Scurro chocolate and Grapefruit Campari. All other flavors are still just as amazing. Not so sure about the avocado,, but hey everyone has their special needs. My favorite Autumn combo is Acorn Squash and Chocolate/Ginger. My only wish is that if they will charge such high prices, I wish they could offer a frequent dining card or some sort of specials now and then. My wallet is hurting!
Pros: Creative and soo delcious!
Cons: Expensive, should offer something special for frequent customers

The gelati are good, but not the best I've ever had. If you're looking for a decent scoop, try this place out, but don't expect to be blown away.
Pros: good
Cons: expensive for what it is
