This place has a sign outside the shop that says it serves the best gelato in Atlanta since 1993, and I COMPLETELY agree. It's a one stop shop for anything Italian when it comes to desserts.

Ahh…Paolo's. Authentic Italian-style gelato made with fresh fruits, vegetables and other ingredients. With flavors from Almond to Violet and everything in between, it's easily addictive.

Drinking chocolate is amazing. Affogato (espresso float) is also amazing. Everything is amazing! They have gelato for your pet!

Tropical Falvor. It's good & not too sweat. It doesn't feel heavy either. A personal favorite amongst places to get something sweet.

Best hot chocolate in Atlanta. Get a gelato shooter with one. Perfect combo.

Venetian-born Paolo Dalla Zorza's 62 gelato flavors range from Italian-inspired (tiramisu) to the superquirky (celery).
