Amorino

Searching for a good dessert after dinner on Newbury, and saw Amorino from the search. Saw the beautiful Rose sculptured gelato and decided to give it a GO! Especially love the milk chocolate flavor! Definitely will come back to get more for the beautiful and delicious gelato!

I’ve wanted to go to an Amorimo ever since I saw the beautiful rose shaped gelato on Instagram. Not only is the gelato delicious, it’s absolutely picture worthy. I usually love chocolate hazelnut gelato, but I would say the fruit flavors (raspberry and blood orange) stole the show!
The service was also amazing. The servers were so nice and when I joked about wanting the best flower shaped cone for a picture, they definitely did their best to make it perfect!

The taste of love, Coffee. Amorino is not only known for their unique flower ice cream but also for their coffee. Science has once again ruled in our favor that coffee is the worlds best medicine. Our local Harvard University came out with some studies that say everyone should start drinking coffee. People that drink coffee are 15% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart disease. So like drink up Bostonians…

I totally recommend this place to anyone who passes by. I thought long and hard about giving this 5 stars, but I landed on 4 just because it seems fairly expensive for what it is– but considering its Newbury St., it really ain’t that bad. My wife was feeling 5 stars too.
The gelato crêpe is absolutely delicious though! The espresso is also awesome and has a serious kick. The staff is friendly and works hard and fast. There isn’t a ton of seating for a huge crowd, but if you have between 4 – 6 in your party you have decent shot of getting a seat (2 – 4 people will have a very good chance of landing a table). The quality of the ingredients are really what make this place great– they are second to none in boston.
The ambiance is really fun and it’s in a great location to grab some ice cream and take a walk down to the Charles. This ain’t JP licks, but it has its own really fun vibe ;)

Baby it’s cold outside, but man oh man I wanted ice cream. And was I in for a treat today. Walking into Amorino was a such a delight. Gelato, macaroons, pie, and yup old school Italian fudge.
I fell in love with the dark chocolate and pistachio gelato. Weird combo, but amazing. The pistachio wasn’t the typical flavor. To me it had a hint of green tea and rich creaminess, while still keeping the traditional flavor. My husband loved it and he hates pistachio. Lol
Can it get any better you ask? Ohh heck yes!!! Gelato macaroons. To die for, a perfect little sweet bite of you don’t want a full on dessert.

Amorino is on Newbury Street where all the awesome cafes are located in Boston. They have a good selection of Italian Gelato Ice Cream, but not as big selection with cakes and pastries. And while their seating area is quite limited, the ambiance is quite comfy. Best of all, my cappucino was delicious and staff was great!
Until then Cheers! ~ :p

Came here for the macaron gelato … For 2.5 a piece it was pretty decent, I really like the gelato and the shells were pretty decent

The sit down area is little small but this is a great Italian coffee shop. Has a wide selection of beverages and coffee. Had a sample of the Italian hot chocolate and it may not be for everyone. It tastes great but very rich and thick. Almost as thick as pudding. If in doubt ask for a sample. That may be enough.
The gelato selection was large and diverse. You can fit 3 – 4 types in the small cup. The raspberry was the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come here again when I’m in the area and on an empty stomach.

Amor a Primera Vista
Gelato at Amorino is fantastic! Love the variety they carry and how nice the staff can be to their customers. I got a small cone, but they have unlimited flavors, so it didn’t really matter what size, I def don’t need anything bigger than a small.
Loved their homemade unique flavor, hazelnut chocolate, pistachio, and their tiramisu!

The gelato here is delcious and they give you plenty of flavors (whatever can fit in your rose thingy). The pistachio and hazelnut and nocciola tonda are BOMB. I’ve tried to get several different flavors in my cone and they’ve alll been pretty spectacular.
I’d say its a pretty unique concept, however its expensive and the place has always been a packed zoo. If you don’t have a tourist with you and you’re not craving gelato, I’d skip the wait and come on an off hour. Also definitely not a place I’d come to sit and relax with a friend.

Pretty good gelato I must say and unlimited flavors!
Anyways, I really enjoyed this place aside from the fact that my server was a tad rude trying to explain how to order. (It also was not busy at all) Once my friends and I figured it out we all paid but my server did not tell me to keep my receipt so I tossed mines and was given a somewhat hard time to get my damn cone.
Luckily another host helped me and all was well! This place is still somewhat new but it would definitely help in finding better ways to explain how to order!
Also with everyone complaining about price: Gelato was never really cheap & Back Bay rent was never cheap too!

I’m rather wary of chains like Amorino, which many seemingly possess more style than substance. My first visit, I went for scoops of mango and chocolate hazelnut on a medium-​sized cup. You can have as many flavors in a cup, regardless of the size. Of course, the greater number of flavors and the smaller container, increases the chance that the flavors will blend together and become one cluster you-​know-​what.
The chocolate hazelnut was the store’s most popular flavor. The mango had a pretty intense flavor and tasted fresh, which I liked. The chocolate hazelnut had a fine balance of nuttiness and chocolate. While the flavors of both were the highlights, unfortunately, the texture left much to be desired. The chocolate hazelnut had a lot of icy chunks inside and a more harsh of a texture. The mango was significantly better in that regard.
After a Unilocal event one evening, I came here for some caffe and tiramisu. I liked the softer texture of the caffe and tiramisu more than my previous trip, but it still had quite a few icy parts to it. Both were more elastic-​y too. However, the flavors of both weren’t as strong as the mango and hazelnut.
My plus one seemed to like her stracciatella, though I thought it didn’t hold well in terms of temperature. The stracciatella melted a lot easier than my choices.
The price for a medium cup seems rather excessive (around $ 6), given the overall quality of the product. While I liked the flavors of the gelato, a very important element in gelato, texture, was lacking for the most part.

Yessss finally got to try this place. I got a small cone because I really wanted a pretty flower of gelato like everyone else. It’s $ 5.50 for the cone and unlimited flavors. You pay first (so hold onto your receipt) and then you pick your flavors!
I went with a friend and she asked for all the sorbet flavors and the staff actually tried really hard to get a all of them on there! So props to this guy. I ordered the mango, raspberry, strawberry, and lemon. I’m not a chocolate lover, but the sorbet flavors were delicious! I really like the mango, raspberry, and lemon flavors. I tried the banana and the cantaloupe… Mehhhh.
I would come back to this place! Next time I’ll order a cup since I thought the cone tasted like cardboard. Gelato was good, but slightly overpriced. But for somewhere on Newbury St that gives you a dessert shaped as a flower… I’ll know where to go for my craving!

I stumbled on this place because it was on a few lists online on must eats in Boston. I thought this gelato place was overpriced but they do pack a lot in their tiny small sized cup. Since we only came here for a taste/​snack, we split a mango and melon one. I thought they were both bursting with flavor but found it too sweet for my liking.
This place got packed for a weekend but there’s a good amount of seats inside and outside as well to enjoy.

So pretty! So delicious!
Sample as much as you can; I wish I had tried everything but that does seem a bit much. Guess I’ll have to go back and do that.
They have a fake Nutella. Get it. With caramel. Mmm.

Just beat the rush around 3PM on a Sunday! The place is nicely decorated and has some seating in the back.
I ordered a small cone (expensive at $ 5.50, but had to have that «gelato rose» experience!) with Tiramisu, Dark Chocolate, and Strawberry.
They do fit as many flavors as you want, which is great, but 2 – 3 seems like the ideal amount of flavors for the best «rose» look, and indeed it’s very cute!
The Tiramisu was by far my favorite! Rich, creamy, coffee-​y, with what seemed to be ladyfinger mix-​ins? Awesome. The Dark Chocolate texture was also awesome but it was slightly too bitter for me – but I’m probably just not used to the option of Dark Chocolate ice cream. The Strawberry wasn’t creamy like I expected, and it was so sweet it tasted like lemonade. Not my thing.
On my next visit I’ll go with a cup as I’m hoping it fits more delicious gelato!
If you’re set on the cone «rose» I’d advise you to ask them to put your favorite flavor in the middle, because it seems like that’s the biggest portion.

He likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not… Who cares if you have delicious gelato!
Amorino started in Europe and they have locations in LA and NY, and it finally made it out to Boston! I love their flower shaped gelato cone! It definitely makes a good food picture. The must tries are:
pistachio verde di bronte
mango alfonso d’india
nocciola tonda e gentile
frutto della passione
fragola camarosa
tiramisu
All of their other flavors are great too, but these are my favorites! The servers mold the gelato into petals and make it look beautiful and more appetizing that it already is. But the presentation isn’t everything, the gelato actually tastes delicious! If you haven’t tried this, I recommend going to try their small cone!

I was browsing along instagram to see what was the best food to check out in Boston while I was visiting and I stumbled upon the Rose Gelato. I had to get this it was just so adorable and photogenic.
I was surprised to find out that this was Amorino and that they had just opened shop in Boston. I had tried a branch in Paris and absolutely loved it. The quality and taste were just so on point I had to see if it was the same here.
You’re allowed to put as many flavors of gelato onto the Rose gelato. The guy told me that he made one with every flavor once before. I choose lime, mango, raspberry, banana, and passion fruit. Mango is straight up the best with passion fruit coming in a close second. Lime and raspberry are always standard flavors that taste great at any place. I didn’t care much for the banana, just tasted like banana.
Even though it tasted amazing unless you want a pretty picture I’d just settle for getting a scoop. It’s quite expensive at 5.50 for the smallest size.

It’s perfect gelato. It’s beautifully presented. It’s luxe, and hey girl hey, you deserve a little luxe.
The buzz of this wee shop is bountiful, so expect a bit of a line whenever the mood to get a lot o’ gelato strikes. And it’s probably best if you order, grab and walk, as the tables or nestled in the back, and the bending, winding queue makes it difficult to navigate to a seat. Also, leave the stroller with a bro-​ler — babies shouldn’t be indulging in this ish yet.
A deep, rich display of macarons is visually appealing, but Amorino is all about dat frozen. Order a cone, and prepare to watch the seemingly gimmicky aspect of floral panache actually cause you to salivate, especially if you opt for the game-​winningest combination…
Pistachio and L’inimitable (think hazelnut-​cocoa like that spread that rhymes with Shootella, but isn’t Shootella)
If you decide to diverge from this one-​two punch of everything that’s wonderful in this world, explore heavily — you’re afforded as many flavors as your cone can hold. Don’t be that guy, though; four is a comfortable max. After that, you become the bratty Little Leaguer that pours all the soda flavors in one cup and realizes it tastes like shit.
Heads up, penny pinchers: premium quality comes with the matching price tag, but ohbygooness, if this isn’t some of the best gelato I’ve ever hastily devoured because my flower is about to melt DONTHITTHESIDEWALK

After coming back, I realized there is an art to getting your flower-​shaped gelato picture-​perfect.
Follow these steps to get your insta foodie pic:
1) Larger cone
2) Fruity gelato is prettier than the savory gelato, as they are softer and easier to mold into shape. Also, the gelato with chunks of chocolate or nuts make the texture not ideal for flower petals unless it’s the first flavor in the middle.
3) Get a lot of flavors, so that one or two petals is a flavor. The more flavors, the better the flower turns out.
The Boston location is definitely getting better at making their flowers with the increased throughput of customers!
