Lovely little spot. The whole indoor setting is really like brought you to some Italian small town gelato shop. Nothing fancy, just good gelato. Straightforward, order-eat-go. Come here, if you crave for some sweet creamy icy treat. More...

This is the best gelato I’ve ever tasted! My husband and I were in Portland for 3 days and we had Gorgeous Gelato 4 times! The owners were very warm towards us and we genuinely enjoyed hearing their story... We are currently planning a trip back to Portland centered around this amazing MUST HAVE gelato.... More...

The very BEST Gelato in the state!! I’ve had gelato in Italy and this is just as good if not better. They have so many wonderful flavors one of my favorite is the cinnamon gelato it’s just absolutely heavenly, but then there’s always gorgeous which is just to die for!

Excellent!  Superb gelato (better than ice cream!).  Besides the wonderful owner (and staff) the coffee is superior and the gelato is amazing.  Don't miss this place if you're in Portland. More...

We've always been a Gelato Fiasco family since my in-laws moved to Portland and had a bad experience at Gorgeous. 8 years and one honeymoon to Italy later, and we have now been converted to Gorgeous, which tastes closer to what we enjoyed in Italy. The flavors are strong, and the selection delightfully authentic. Every time we take our first bite, we're transported to the streets of Florence. I especially love the pistachio, which is toasty, nutty, and delicious. Prices are reasonable for gelato in the city. Everyone at the front has always been very nice and patient. Best of all, there is always plenty of seating inside to enjoy our gelato on a really hot or cold day. We always try to make a stop here every time we visit now, and I'm glad this place exists to give everyone a little taste of Italy. More...

This was one of my favorite places to go on my trip to Portland! I have a milk allergy so I couldn't enjoy the gelato but the cannoli was one of the best I've ever had! (And I'm picky!) My friends said the gelato rivaled Europe's!! If your in the area this is a must stop! As Donato put it when we walked in "Life Changing" More...

True to milan. Light, almost fluffy, bursting with flavour without any of the crap. Can't go wrong with the OG "Gorgeous" in a fresh cone, and the seasonal peach was fantastic. Shame the set up is so silly (the line forms right by the door, so if it's busy, entering the shop will take you a little while). Beautiful lemon tart, nice and zesty with a perfect shortcrust. Cannoli in window looked superb More...

I love Gelato and this is a great place. (Please know that I also LOVE Gelato Fiasco, across the street - Like a parent says to a kid - I love you both equally and appreciate, your different qualities)The selection is decent and very unique - if you would like to sample, they will provide you with one, although not as enthusiastically as their competition - probably because they are usually busy? Anyway...I have sampled from my friends and what they ordered vs. asking at the counter and everything I have tried has been unique and delicious - very decadent, a little goes a long way.One stand out for me....they have so many non-gelato desserts - baked goods galore!!! I want to come back for more treats, I just didn't plan well in the last visits.Great location if you are eating/shopping around Old Port, otherwise it will take some effort to find parking and walk to this location.I highly recommend this place for a sweet cool treat that isn't ice cream.

I can't say I've had more than 3 servings of gelato in my lifetime, but this after lunch treat was very very good. Is it high quality gelato though? The hell if I know, everyone seems to think so. I had vanilla and my other half had the Gorgeous flavor. Even if people didn't call it the "best gelato outside of Italy" I definitely would come back. More...

I literally came back 2 days in a row to make it a point to try different flavors. I had just gotten back from Milan in May so my expectations for gelato are somewhat high. THIS PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I haven't had good, no great gelato like this since Italy. Between the 3 of us, we tried 6 flavors- clementine, lemon, hazlenut, I can't even remember, I must've blacked out from how delicious it was. If ever I am back in Portland, you can find me here.

Great gelato spot located in the Old Town of Portland. Lots of really good flavors that you can sample as well as some great dessert selections like cannollis and pie as well. As we were contemplating our decision to go in, a local told us to get the Oreo flavor. I sampled it and it was awesome but we decided to go with their coffee and chocolate flavors which were awesome as well. More...

Owned by 2 Milanese natives, this was excellent gelato.  The Clementine tasted delicately of orange. And it was vegan. I'll be dreaming about this one, it was so unique and delicious. Since I ordered a Medium, I got a 2nd flavor. Had to go with the classic chocolate.  Not vegan but so rich and with tremendous depth of flavor.Ample seating.I would come back here again in a minute!

Pretty good gelato place that I think is up there with my favorite gelato place in Brooklyn. I'm glad we came after our dinner at Eventide! I had the pistachio and something with chocolate and hazelnut (I forgot what it was called.....) and it was very satisfying while my husband got the chocolate sorbet (which was super chocolate-y). Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! More...

Some of the best gelato I've had. Really liked the whiskey chocolate. Panna cotta caramel was good too. So many creative and interesting flavors. Lots of vegan options if that's your thing.For a gelato shop you would think they would have decent AC...it was hotter inside than out! Maybe that's the incentive to get you to eat more gelato.

I really wanted to like gorgeous gelato more than I did. It's good gelato in my book but it'd been so hyped up to be better or more authentic. Having traveled extensively throughout Europe I was looking for a gelato that reminded me of Italy and this place fell short. The lemon cookie was nice and tart if a little sweet. The mango sorbet was nice and I enjoyed the flavor but had a somewhat strange mouthfeel and graininess. More...

I was very excited to have good gelato after having not so great gelato a day prior at old Orchard Beach. If I'd had my way we would have gone to both gelato places on this street, but to be fair we were both pretty stuffed after dinner. We shared a large pistachio and amaretto and the flavors and textures were on par with gelato from Venice. I did feel a little rushed (the line is not really their fault though) and the AC did not seem to be working, but this satisfied my craving for authentic gelato. It was also cool that night so we took a nice walk around old port while enjoying our gelato. More...
