Gelateria – Caffé Espresso

The fresh strawberry gelato covered in candy chocolate sprinkles was excellent. We all agreed that all the flavors were great. We of course tried almost all of them and the friendly staff was patient while we did.
If you’re staying at the Portofino this is a must stop. Several times during your stay. Yummy.

The Gelateria is located within Loews Portofino Bay Hotel.
The ladies behind the counter are super sweet and helpful. They sell Gelati, Smoothies, Shakes, and Sundaes. You can ask to sample any of the Gelati flavors. There are two sizes available for the Gelati: Small ($ 3) and Large ($ 4).
I ordered a large, which came with 2 scoops. You can ask for 2 different flavors. Flavor options include Swiss Chocolate, Dolce De Leche, White Chocolate Raspberry, Spumoni, Mango, Vanilla, Mint, Strawberry, Cookie Dough, and Tiramisu.
I was able to try the Swiss Chocolate, Dolce De Leche, and White Chocolate Raspberry. The Swiss Chocolate was smooth and creamy on my first visit. It was more chunky and icy on the second visit. The Docle De Leche had a wonderful caramel flavor and the White Chocolate Raspberry was fruity and refreshing. I wouldn’t say that this is the best Gelati I have ever tasted, but it was impressive for a Universal Orlando Resort on-​site Hotel. Sal’s Market Deli is also right beside the Gelateria.
Overall, this is a nice place to satisfy your sweet tooth and cool down from the heat.
