Paciugo Gelato and Caffe

A variety of yummy flavors. Everything was delicious and super creamy. A must when visiting the mall.

I tried their gelato for the first time and can firmly say I am not impressed. I ordered the small (with 3 scoops) to share with my boyfriend. The flavors were strong, but not in a good way. It was overly sweet & tasted artificial. We tried many different samples before finally choosing 3– strawberry, chocolate, & coffee. Neither of us finished our small cup of gelato, it was a disappointment.

This is pretty good, but I’ve had better from a pint from the grocery store. They give you a lot for the price, but the gelato is just average. I much prefer the chocolate shavings in my stracciatella to be mixed with the ice cream.

You will never look at ice cream the same way again.
And yes, you can try as many as you would like while you are deciding which to order.
My personal favorites include: Amarena Black Cherry Swirl & Mediterranean Sea Salt Caramel.
The texture of gelato is smooth, luscious and rich. It is an savory dessert not to be eaten in haste. It is to be enjoyed and savored.
Yes, it is that good.
I use to be an ice cream lover. Loving Breyers, Turkey Hill, Edy’s and even the occasional custard from a place like Rita’s. Not anymore. Now I will accept nothing less then the best.
Bonus is that gelato has ½ to ¹⁄₃ the fat as regular ice cream and no additional sugar added. You heard me right.
Don’t believe me? Check out their website.
It is that freakin’ good.

If you have never tried gelato, now’s the time to give it a shot. Paciugo in the Christiana Mall (near the future site of Target) has great tasting and looking gelato, the real authentic stuff. The super friendly staff is more than willing to give you a free sample spoonful of any of their flavors and I highly recommend you give it a shot.
We sampled the key lime, amaretto chocolate chip, and the goldfish flavored gelatos. Being from Florida, I’m pretty particular about my key lime flavored things — most places make key lime pie/​ice cream too sweet but Paciugo made it perfectly. The amaretto chocolate chip gelato is one that you should absolutely taste — it was perfect. The goldfish flavored one tasted just like putting a handful of those little orange snack crackers in your mouth — interesting, but not really my thing for dessert.
Anyway, try them out. I really want to grab one of their expresso over gelato options — sounds damned good.

After trying Paciugo for the first time, I have to say; I’m hooked. Their gelato is sweet, creamy, and delicious! You’re allowed to sample their flavors for free, and you can order multiple flavors for one serving. I had Brown Sugar Waffle Cone, Sea Salt Caramel, and Strawberry Milk (one small scoop of each, for the small serving). Each flavor was true to the title, and all of them were delicious.
