Gorgeous Gelato is your one stop shop for amazing gelato in Portland, Maine. They only have this location but I also found out that they have a trailer near Portland Head Lights that also sells their Gelato as well. Their main shop is small but cute with some indoor and outdoor seating. Service is counter service and was awesome because they let us try samples of their Gelato! Most all ice cream places have been refusing samples because of Covid but not here! The gelato was heavenly and so smooth and creamy. We felt as though we could eat it all day, every day haha. There are plenty of ice cream shops in Portland but not many gelato shops and from the many we've tried, this might just be our favorite. Try them out! My wife and I got a large waffle cone with two different scoops. My cone had Panna Cotta Caramel and Bacio. Man, were these good! The Panna Cotta Caramel was SO smooth (all of them were but this one especially). The rich, creamy flavor was so unique and delightful and with the right amount of caramel swirl too. Each flavor complemented the other and it was just too good. The Bacio is a chocolate hazelnut gelato, which some people might compare to Nutella but tastes way better. The chocolate is more of a darker chocolate than a milk chocolate base and there are small bits of hazelnut pieces mixed in. I'm not sure if they also use hazelnut butter or something in the base as well but it was also a delicious gelato. My wife had Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate and Boston Creme. The Boston cream was just like eating a Boston Cream Pie and the Sea Salt Caramel was rich with lots of caramel and little mini chocolate chips throughout. I don't have much to say about hers as I only tried a bite or two of each flavor but I can say that I loved each flavor and everything that we had from Gorgeous Gelato! On a side note, my wife and I wanted to eat outside and it had just rained and there was water all over the tables. The owner saw that we were looking to sit outside and came running out with a towel to clean the tables for us so we could sit without getting our pants wet. That was very nice of them especially since we didn't have to ask. That's customer service. This place also serves cannolis, pints to go, whoopie pies, cakes, cookies, ice cream cannolis and more! With how amazing the gelato was I can only imagine how awesome everything else was. I might just have to order these online to be shipped to my home...

Tasty creamy gelato. Wonderful selection of flavors. Would recommend their Affagato

I had their Gorgeous flavor at the food truck stand next to PHL (never been to the Portland location). Delicious treat on a summer day right outside of the lighthouse. Cash only

The ice cream here is so scrumptious delicious! Creamy and flavorful, just like I used to get it growing up in Europe. The best of all is that I can get the real pistachio, hazelnut or mango, that typical US ice cream makers tend to ignore or fail to produce.

We stopped by on a whim during our recent trip to Portland, and the gelato was excellent! I had a mix of coconut and cinnamon gelato – both flavors were heavenly. The staff was friendly too; I wish I could remember our server's name – he was a great kid! I highly recommend stopping by if you have a sweet tooth.

The sorbetto here is genuinely some of the best frozen dessert I've ever had. It has such a deep, intense flavor and isn't overly sweet. And they have more vegan options than just fruit flavors which I appreciate. Only complaint is that the menu on their website that's supposedly updated daily usually isn't accurate.

A local favorite! My wife and I take everyone who visits and we always make a stop when we are around, no matter if we just ate or if it’s 3pm or 9pm! Staff is always amazing and they are LGBTQ+ friendly! The flavors for the geltato change but the oreo, sea salt caramel, coconut, and panacotta are some of our favorites!! I don’t recommend using the restroom here though as it needs a bit of updating. Everything else is amazing though! They also sell coffee, adult beverages, baked goods, and take home containers of gelato and sorbet.

Authentic Gelato Italiano. Even their Non-dairy flavors were excellent. They also have LavAzza café, which is one of the best espresso to have.

Excellent gelato! Did I mention Affogato! Desserts! Just a wonderful place. For the adults: espresso with a shot. A welcome little place to recoup.

This gelato was in my local produce store and I was extremely surprised. I tried the Oreo flavor and was blown away by how good it was. I was nervous at first because there are no Oreo chunks, but I soon realized that they blend the product together (mind-blowing). It is the perfect blend of flavors. This is going to be my new go-to. I'm excited to try it in person.

Wow...amazing gelato. wonderful and varied flavors. The 'gorgeous' flavor lived up to its name. I recommend it highly.

I was thrilled they had pistachio!! So many gelaterias in USA don’t carry pistachio, very happy to get mine here. Subtle flavor. My bride had the almond, also delicious and delicate taste.

9/30/23 - What a cute spot! I love ice cream and especially gelato. They let you try flavors before picking if you want. I went to ask for the dark chocolate and the gorgeous. He then told me do I want both which how could I say no? His positive and energy was so nice. He was so cheerful and seemed so happy to be there. The inside was cute too. It was busy but went by quick. There isn't too much space when you first get in to get the gelato but not a huge deal.

This place was such a great find! My friends and I fell in love with their flavors. The gelato is fresh, and just so delicious. We had the limoncello,fior di lati, maine blueberry, mokacino, and white chocolate. They change flavors daily! We loved it so much we go back each time we go to Portland.

This is the best gelato I’ve ever had. I went once many years ago and knew when visiting Portland again, this would be one of my pitstops. The line was super long but worth it. You’re allowed a couple free samples to see which one you want to order. They also have milkshakes and cannolis here, which are a nice touch. I got one scoop of coconut and one scoop of milk chocolate. It’s very creamy and smooth. Will definitely be back again!

I had their gelato form their kiosk by Portland Head Light, a stunning spot RIGHT next to the lighthouse. Some of the best gelato, scratch that, ice cream of ANY type, that I have had before! Super refreshing and creamy.

The gelato was delicious! It was creamy and was not too sweet! They also had vegan options which was nice to see. I ordered pistachios and my partner ordered salted caramel. Both were delish! The gelato was made with roasted pistachio and was very fragrance.

Amazing gelato! Tastes like you’re in Europe. They rotate their flavors but I love the almond, hazelnut, the gorgeous… all of them!

What a gem in Portland. Now I've been to Italy and had some amazing Gelato. This is pretty much up to par with any of the best I've had in Italy. Outstanding Gelato and the lady who runs the shop is very nice. From Milan

Stopped by during my sister’s bachelorette weekend! I had the dark chocolate together with coconut and it was sooo good. Smooth, rich and flavorful. Also the interior was adorable and the staff was awesome! Def recommend while you’re in Portland.

The flavors were so good! They do free samples! And we ended up picking the ones we really like!

Looking for a sweet treat after a nearby meal and this place had the perfect solution. Sadly it was so tasty I ate it before I took a picture but trust me if you like an exceptionally good cannoli, check this place out.

Reasonable prices, good flavors, and taste. Friendly and courteous staff. Ambient atmosphere. The gorgeous flavor is delicious.

Absolutely delicious! Haven't had such tasty Gelato since Spain. Will be an annual stop for us.
