    I’ve always loved Caffe Gelato’s brunch; their eggs benedict and bottomless mimosas are my fav ! I went with my family for my birthday , it also happened to be move in weekend for students. My parents had never been so i sent them the menu beforehand and they knew what they were going to have and were excited. When we got there it was a condensed menu-there was 1 breakfast item on this menu. We asked where the other menu was and they said they “shortened it for this weekend”. There was no notice of this on their website or at booking for the reservation. I was very disappointed and will probably not go back since you’ll never know when they won’t have their menu.

    We had a terrific evening last night. Ben was very attentive and a wonderful server; everything paced well so we did not feel rushed. The mussels were delicious and we tried to soak up each drop of the fantastic broth. Both of the specials, scallops and pork tenderloin were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Loved the corn shoots which were added to accent the plate.

    I have been here a few times and leave feeling the same way every time, disappointed.The food is ok and tends to be bland. The space feels cluttered and is need of a deep cleaning. Service could be better, for example, our main dishes tend to come out within 5 minutes of our appetizer every time. I am not a fan of this place at all.

    The food took almost 45 min to reach our table, which was a little bit too long for my taste. Food was really good, but my wife's dish was a little salty. Aside from that it was a pleasant dinner. 4.5/5⭐️

    Had not been to Gelato for a while. This used to be our most favourite restaurant in Newark. Glad that we gave it another try. Food was as good as before, if not better. Even with the increased prices, it's worth it. You want good food, pay for it. We were greeted by Tori, a new "charming" addition to Gelato. Then we had Karen as our waitress. She was very attentive and thorough with our orders. Poor Karen, it seemed like she's the only waiter in the whole section. Fortunately, Tori stepped in when needed. It was a very pleasant lunch, would have been even better if they had cranked up the air conditioner to lower the temperature. Granted it was brutal outside, they should have kept it more comfortable indoors (maybe because of the pizza oven??)

    Food was extremely average. Beer was warm. There were lots of flies in the restaurant that were extemely annoying - more annoying were the employees walking around just swatting the flies with napkins.

    The food was very good. They have gluten free options which for me is always a plus because I have celiac disease. The variety of different drinks was awesome, most of us tried something different. The wait stuff was super friendly and eager to assist in any way including offering to take the picture we could not accomplish.

    Beautiful restaurant inside decor and outdoors. Excellent server. Great food. Relaxed atmosphere, not rushed. Gelato and sorbet were great especially raspberry. Next to a beautiful college campus, University of Delaware- the campus looks like a blend of Harvard, and a fancy boarding school like Exeter. Very nice dinner.
