As an extablishment trying to portray itself as "fine dining", Caffe Gelato should look within itself and embrace all that comes with this title. Attempting to cover up bad or unfavorable reviews on their own... (more)

While the dinners and lunches at Cafe Gelato are extremely tasteful, their best "hidden" gem is definitely their Sunday brunch. It is reasonably priced and tastes delightful! It is not you typical brunch, rather a... (more)
