Really great unique options. For gelato, it was reasonably priced. Tried lavender,, holy canola, just ask (pb chocolate), pralines & cream, but got a salted Carmel shake. It was delicious. Clean establishment & very friendly staff.

Oh my sweet creamy stars this stuff is amazing! Today I indulged in a cup of Dark Chocolate Orange at Gelati Celesti I savored every spoonful of the smooth sweet silky sensational goodness! My taste buds sang! It was a perfect balance of semi bitter chocolate and sweet orange. My only regret is that I ordered the small cup and not the large. Warning: this gelato is highly addictive! They had a decent selection of flavors available, and the service was top notch. You can bet your sweet tooth I'll be back the next time I'm in Richmond! Hopefully they will have the Lemon Lavender available then.

This place was packed today and that can only mean one thing right? Excellent ice cream coupled with an efficient team serving it up. My wife and I always go for the two scooper (small) to test out new flavors and then take a quart of Chocolate Decadence (our fave) home. I tested out the s’mores and cinnamon crumble cake and enjoyed them both. My wife got coconut and pineapple upside down cake and also liked her picks. FYI you can sample flavors. I really should try out the shakes eventually because I bet they’re fantastic.

The ice cream is amazing and building is always clean. I would have given five stars if the employee had not been so rude to me today which is not what I typically encounter here. My husband and I have been coming almost daily since stumbling across this place but not sure I’ll be returning to this location.

Had to stop by to try the new Brick Batter which is cake batter with m&m + sprinkles, it was delicious. Service was quick, they still have the most flimsy containers in my opinion.. but overall ice cream is good! Sample until you find your favorite flavor

Superb location to enjoy the ice cream. A bit pricey but worth it...even if you are full from eating out at one of the many nearby restaurants, get a "toddler" size one scoop like I did. I am very specific on my tastes (specifically sorbet) and theirs is top notch - I ordered the raspberry. Went on a Friday night and a regular flow of people but quick service and the shopping center has a good area to just enjoy your ice cream walking around or even sitting in various spots. Tables inside and outside dedicated to the ice cream place too!
