Hollywood Gelato

3.5÷5
I like availability of unique flavours even tho it’s not in the major season but I find that their gelato is too heavy and lack in flavour. Will go to other gelato place around the corner.

one of the best gelato places on TO
The size is way above average per scope.
Very friendly team.
Thank you!

Good-​sized portion for the price! I enjoyed the lime and pistachio gelato. Will be back here for more :)

I like Hollywood Gelato because the atmosphere of the shop cheers me up. It is located in a nice family oriented neighbourhood. There are lots of young children and parents and young couples. The shop is always packed. The taste of gelato was good. By considering the location, atmosphere of the shop, and the taste, the price was pretty reasonable. I look forward to going back there in the next summer.

My boyfriend and I pass by this place quite often on our way back home. It’s our favourite go to for a quick, refreshing snack (even when it’s freezing cold outside). Can never go wrong with two overflowing scoops of hazelnut gelato on a waffle cone! Definitely worth the $ 5.45. I’ve tried many other flavours but I just can’t seem to stay away from the hazelnut gelato. It’s nice, smooth, rich and creamy, yet still subtle and has just the right amount of sweetness and nuttiness to it. Love it. :)

Best gelato in the city. I’ve come here probably 50 times in my life and I am never disappointed. Very rich and smooth. Rocky rocher is still my favorite after all these years. Their fruit ones are good too.

Great selection of flavours, good portions, good service, nice sitting area, always great value

I don’t know much about gelato to be honest, but I always get pistachio when I do get some. Their pistachio is good, but I’ve had ones that are more on point with the flavour. Also, this place doesn’t seem to have as much varieties compared to the gelato that’s just a few blocks over.
I did try what everyone else talked about already, which is the Rocky Rocher. If you love Ferrero Rocher, you have to get this. It seriously does taste like the real thing. If my review is only based on this one thing, I’d give it 6 out of 5. Yes, it’s that good.

Hearing that this is the best place in Toronto or one of the top tens for gelato I was curious about how the gelato would taste. I was so excited once I got to see all the flavours they had. The display for the gelato a was very organized and tidy. There’s a tiny line up sometimes but usually more settle during 6:30 until close. After looking at the flavours and debating which yummy flavours to try out I then order. I had no idea once you tell them how many scoops you’re getting you don’t need to tell them the flavours because a different employee would serve you and hand you the ice cream. Non of the employees smiled and they were really rude. The cashier told me in an awful tone that you don’t need to tell me the flavours. I had the 6.95 $ 4 scoop. The flavours I got were rocky rocher, cappuccino, blood orange, and cookies and cream. There really isn’t anything special about the gelatos here and I personally would not come all the way back here. The gelato isn’t pricey at all and there’s no tax. But their scoops are not generous at all. It’s still a place worth trying out since they have patio seating to enjoy gelato with a nice breeze with your love ones.

Hollywood Gelato is one of my favourite places to get some delicious gelato on a nice sunny day. I was introduced to this place by a few friends a couple years ago and I haven’t looked back since. You can ask for some samples to try out a flavour or two before picking which flavours you want in your cone/​cup/​tub. One of my favourite flavours is Rocky Rocher, very delicious!

Gelato in Italy was one of the best things I ever tasted, and I didn’t think that any of Toronto’s gelato could compare but I was wrong! Hollywood Gelato has some of the best gelato! They’re one of the busiest businesses in the area, so I’ve learnt to always expect a crowd. And given that the employees have to serve a lot of people quickly, they’re really good at their job. They’re efficient and super friendly to customers. I’m always greeted with a smile and they never seem bothered if I want to taste the different flavours before picking one or two.
I’ve tried a couple of their gelato flavours, and so far I’ve never tasted a bad one. I’d have to say that my favourites are the nutella and the berry one. I usually take a small cup, which is priced at about $ 5, a good price considering you get two scoops fairly large scoops (one or two different flavours).
This is my go-​to gelato place in Toronto and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a sweet tooth!

Gelato is hardly ever done correctly in North America and I have found that it usually has the consistency of ice cream. Hollywood Gelato does it right! I had a small, that actually came with a lot of gelato. You get two flavours — I was feeling light so I got pear and strawberry. The pear was amazing — not only in taste but in texture. It actually had the texture of pear. I found that very impressive. The strawberry was tart and delicious. I enjoyed both and I usually am not that interested in fruit-​based gelato.
Unfortunately I do not live close by but when I’m in the neighbourhood I will stop in. The interior design is quite interesting — meaning it is quirky so be prepared for that!

Great gelatos.
This is one of the best spots in town.
They have a great patio for a nice and relaxing chat on a summer night.
Great flavors and the quality is superb.
Must try the pear flavor which is hard to come by. Hazelnut is to die for.
They are also open during the winter with a welcome addition of hot choco.
They only get 3 stars because some of the younger employees need training in customer service and manners. But aside from this, the quality of the gelato and the flavors they have available is second to none.

Very good gelato and flavours
Tried pumpkin pie and rocky road
Very creamy, fresh, well made
Price fair
Nice décor
Staff helpful

Ah, I feel like Homer writing positive reviews and getting everyone fat. This place is so good. Favourites: chocolate, chocolate with hazelnut, and cookies and cream. The staff is friendly and will let you try many flavours before picking one. Supposedly the owners are very careful to keep their recipes a secret. Love it.

I heard this place was the king of gelato in the GTA according to websites and online reviews. I decided to give it a shot since I was around the area one night. My gf and I huddled in here during the winter to try some of their famous gelato and grab a cappuccino as well. We were greeted to friendly staff eager to help us out. The store was completely empty for a Friday and I guess it’s due to the nature of the weather and what they sell. I figured a few people would be there for the caffeinated drinks though.
The gelato was delicious and just what the reviews described. I had the pear flavour and pistachio and both tasted fantastic! They tasted pure and not artificial. A great find for people looking for a good gelato place in the area. I wish there was more to do around the location as I would definitely be eating here more!

The staff make this place feeling friendly and inviting.
I had the best latte ever.
The Gelato is FANTASTIC!!!
The Owner is a great guy that supports Holland Bloorview, and even has a day when 50% of Gelato proceeds go to the Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation.
Next time your in the neighbour, make sure you stop by!

Great neighbourhood gelato place where you can satisfy your sweet tooth after dinner. Generally most of the flavours I’ve tried were pretty good and creamy. I think the best ones were Tiramisu, Ferror Rocher, Hazelnut, Twix, and Mango. I don’t think I liked the Pistachio flavour that much. I do agree that their service is definitely lacking, that’s why they are only getting 4 stars. So they should really try to improve on that!

Deliciousness! Had the Skor flavour and the Rocky Rocher together (2 to 1 scoops) and just swooned a little bit.
Had a bit of my date’s pear flavour too, and it tastes like the truest pear taste ever… Kinda like a juicy Bartlett pear got juiced and turned into Gelato.

This place is a great hang out spot during the summer, and their patios can fill up quite fast. I tend to have my gelato cravings later into the night, so there’s ample street parking and no lineups!
On my more recent visits, I noticed their service going downhill. Within 30 minutes before closing time, the staff is evidently impatient when answering our questions and taking our orders. I usually get the $ 4.50 for 3 flavours — pistachio (my all time favorite), peanut butter & mint chocolate. The third scoop was very sloppily slapped onto the cup, when I reached out for the cup, half my thumb was in the sticky mess. The staff didn’t apologize, and just proceeded to clean out the tubs of gelato, barking out instructions for his coworkers to get ready for closing.
I hate to give them a bad review, as I do enjoy the gelato here, but they need to improve on customer service.
