Best restaurant in Newark 8/7/2006

Wonderfully displayed food selection. Upscale/casual dinning with great service. Very special restaurant - no need to go to Philadelphia for upscale dinning. Newark is very lucky to have it. Also great promotions expecially birthday specials. Lovely restaurant although tables are close together and is a bit noisy. Pros: parking Cons: noisy more

A wonderful dining experience! 8/7/2006

After returning from a month in Italy my husband and I were longing for the taste of good gelato. Most of the places we tried left us disappointed...then we found Caffe Gelato! Their gelato tastes just like it did in Italy. It is so good, in fact, that it is worthy of the 45-minute drive from West Chester. Pros: Great food and gelato, ambience, prompt more

Amazing Gelato 8/7/2006

Great Food, Great Wine, Great Time! 8/7/2006

Caffe Gelato has quickly become a Newark institution, and for good reason: it is simply hands-down THE best restaurant in Newark if you're looking for a more upscale dining experience. Reminiscent of the small restaurants in Rome (Rome, Italy - not Rome, New York!), walking down Main Street and letting yourself into Caffe Gelato is like finding a secret treasure. The atmosphere is intimate and spirited, waitstaff always bustling about to make sure every diner is being cared for. Noteworthy is the art on the walls, most of it courtesy of local artists and most of it for sale, as well. Pros: very attentive staff, wide selection, great value Cons: only one bathroom! more

Caffe' Gelato, Be song to on your birthday and feel special every time 8/7/2006

I love going to this resturant with my husband as a nice quiet get away. The food and service is great. It's a small place that can get crouded at times, so know the right times to go. It's not much for kids unless you are going for their great icecream, always a treat to see what flavor is up for that month. I would go back again for their great dinner or lunch specials. I give it a 9 Pros: ambience Cons: parking more

My Favorite Place 8/7/2006

I first visited Cafe Gelatto during a lunch meeting with one of my customers. After that day, I have become one of their biggest fans. I travel at least once a month to Cafe Gellato from Media PA with friends. I have never been disappointed, and have never taken someone there who hasn't gone back themselves. They send me a birthday invitation each year, and have not missed spending my Birthday there once, since I received my first invitation. The food is great, and so is the service. My wife and I took 3 other couples to the Dean Martin Champagne Dinner, and had the most wonderful night we've had in a long time. I strongly recommend Cafe Gelato, and their wine tasting or theme dinners. more

Great Romantice Restaurant 8/6/2006

As new residents of Newark, we are particulary pleased that the city offers a restaurant like Cafe Gelato. The food is outstanding every time and the service is consistantly good. Cafe Gelato is our first choice for dining in Newark. They have a variety of specials every night that will meet anyone's taste. While the restaurant is ""cozy"", it is also very romantic. In addition to the great food and service, Cafe Gelato also sends out a lot of special offers for your birthday and/or anniversary. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Pros: Excellent food, validated parking, great service Cons: A little cozy when the restaurant is full. more

Great Anytime!!! 8/6/2006

I've been to Caffe Gelato many many times! The food is excellent and the service is both fast and courteous. The prices are also very reasonable. A salad and desert for lunch is quite affordable and enjoyable. Pros: Great Food! Excellent Staff! more

Best gelato in Delaware. 8/6/2006

On a tip from a co-worker, it was suggested I try out Caffe Gelato. She mentioned that the menu was very progessive and upscale, yet affordable. Being close to the University of Delaware, I was thinking this has to be another burger and fries restaurant. Whoa, I was blown away. The wait time was short, the service was great, and the menu selections were impressive. Not to mention the extensive wine selection they had to offer. After dinner, we had the best gelato ever tasted. In fact, I ordered extra for the car ride home! I would recommend this restaurant to others and keep it on my rotation of places to dine in Delaware. Pros: Thumbs up. Ambience. Ecletic menu selections. Wine selections. Friendly staff. more

Excellant Italian entrees 8/6/2006

Ryan German is a personable and welcoming. The wine dinners are a wonderfull experience. Pros: parking is funded Cons: Could use a larger space. May be eventualy more

Great local spot for a girls night out!! 8/6/2006

I've been visiting caffe gelato for a few years now. There's always something new and interesting on the daily specials sheet. I particularly enjoy the mediterranean tuna on focaccia for lunch. Wednesday is always busy but worth the wait since it's bogo night. Love the wine dinners they hold several times a year. They offer a superb wine list all the time. Don't forget to finish up with a cappuccino and 'bacio' gelato (so yummy)! Pros: specials, great tasting food, ambience Cons: wait (even with reservation), sourpuss waitstaff more

Great Gelato! 8/6/2006

I ate at Cafe Gelato after I got into U of D and was making the decision whether to attend or not. Despite the fact that I knew I couldn't afford to go very often (I would if I could!), it definitely influenced by decision! The atmosphere, service, and food were fantastic. I always try to go if I have a friend or a relative in town, and they always leave satisfied. I am from NYC where I am surrounded by fabulous restaurants, and I can honestly Cafe Gelato is still one of my favorites. What is also great is that they really make an effort to cater to college students, whether it be with special discount coupons on your birthday, or Valentine's Day specials. I live a block away from the restaurant, and there is nothing better than stopping in on my way home from class for a scoop of their delicious Gelato. more

Wonderful gelato 8/6/2006

This is one of my favorite places to eat. I love the Caesar salads, onion soup, and the marvelous gelato. Always fun to hear the cellist! Tables are close together but the food makes up for it. Great coupons and offers! Validated parking! Good service! Jen is always professional in her job as a waitress! Just love the place--hope it expands soon. Pros: Gelato--especially mocha cappachino Cons: small place more

Excellant Cuisine 8/6/2006

Caffe Gelato offers quite a fine dinign experience. The small size of the restaurant certainly does not take away from the ellegance of it. From the great food to the very personable staff, Caffe Gelato is the place for a night of romantic dining. Even if not dining in Caffe Gelato still offers the finest in homemade italian gelato. Pros: Food, Ambience, Fast Service Cons: Size of restaurant more

Best Italian Food and Ice Cream 8/6/2006

One of our favorites.... 8/6/2006

Caffe Gelato pleases time and time again with interesting menu items, elegant (and reasonably priced) wine dinners and great specials and customer loyalty programs. Weekly specials include half price bottles of wine, buy-one-get-one entrees, lunch deals, etc. The restaurant enjoys a tremendously loyal return customer base which tells you that they are doing things right. Every restaurant has its challenges in terms of wait staff but I have to wonder if the reviewer who complained of poor service raised the issue with the almost-always-present owner. As a frequent diner, I had an experience that was less than what I had come to expect, but a quick word with the owner quickly set things right and guaranteed that I would return again. The true test of customer service is in how problems are resolved.... its unreasonable to expect otherwise.... Go to Caffe Gelato... for lunch, for dinner, for brunch... or for dessert.... you won't be disappointed! Pros: wine dinners, specials, interesting and creative food Cons: space is small, would love to see an expansion more

Make reservations for the wine dinners!!! 8/6/2006

Wine dinners are specialty offerings and a treat to attend (by reservation only). A fixed menu with wines specially chosen for each course is offered. The staff is attentive and professional, without constantly hovering. The chef will often join the dining room at the end of the evening to share a glass of wine! My favorite experience was an evening where groups in turn watched the chef and sous chef create the different courses offered that evening, offering tips about cooking. Menu is creative. Lunch and Dinner are both worth experiencing. One visit made us happy-to-return clients. Leave room for the gelato! Pros: Fun, excellent menu and wine choices, great staff more

Cozy Eatery 8/6/2006

This small Itailian place is perfect for a casual, romantic evening. Caffe Gelato has exellent food, great servisce, and an extensive wine list. It is upscale dining that is not stuffy or pretentious. No one gives you the evil eye for not having reservations. The servers know what they are talking about with regard to the food and wine. We've been numerous times and have never had a bad experince. more

Great food, wine, and customer service 8/6/2006

Best chef ever! He is very creative and after having eaten there quite a few times, I have yet to find any food I didn't like. The daily specials are usually outstanding!!! Great wine selection, service, and gelato! I never hesitate to take out of town guests there, as I am always confident the food will be delicious and we will be treated well. Pros: parking, service, gelato Cons: noise level when crowded more
