What People Are Saying About Capogiro Gelateria

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.

While walking around Rittenhouse Square during the summer, my daughters and I stopped here for some gelatos - the best we ever had! It was very busy but the staff was courteous and friendly.

This is the best place to go on a hot summer evening. It is located in a prime area for shopping and dining. It has seating, and is nice to hang out and have a coffee and/or sandwich also. Delicious.

The Details on Capogiro Gelateria

Save Money:

If you're light in the wallet, you can get a mini-serving, which still allows you room to taste two varieties.

When to Go:

Weather permitting, you can people-watch from an outdoor table.

Know Before You Go:

Gelato 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.
