It isn't fancy , and it's a bit hard to find. But if amazing gelato you want, this is the place. They also have a few dinner options on the menu that LOOK amazing. WIll try those next time!

Leo Bulgarini and Elizabeth Foldi use milk from nearby Montebello, pistachios from the motherland, and other locally-sourced ingredients to make what most consider the best gelato in town . Read more

While known especially for his pistachio gelato , Bulgarini's non-dairy sorbets and granitas (a traditional Italian dessert somewhere between a slushie and a snow cone ) are equally full of flavor. Read more

Salted chocolate macadamia gelato . When you find the Rite Aid plaza at Lake and Altadena Dr, find the little deadend mall next to it with same parking lot . It's far left in the picture.

Gelato is a must get here! Get the pistachio or almond . Goat milk with coco nibs is also solid.

Natalie Noblitt

Hard to find tucked away in a shopping strip that's hidden by construction , but worth it. Delicious gelato . I loved the buffalo milk .

Frank Pigeons

It's not cheap but it's the best gelato I've ever had. You literally can't go wrong with any flavor here.

AD Nys

Pistachios are imported from Sicily. Worth every penny. Season fruit flavors like peach , pear + strawberry are lucid, too.

Richard Murillo

The owner is very nice and makes amazing product. Feel free to ask questions and try different flavors--they rotate frequently.

$2.50 per scoop, three scoop minimum. Pricey for the small cup, but every mound of gelato packs a punch. Worth the try.
