Sweetaly Gelato

Went with my wife. We got the coconut and the salted caramel. The salted caramel tasted more like cookie dough. The coconut was pretty good. This place was very alright.

The best gelato I have ever had! Bursting with flavor true to the description! I had the blood orange with coffee… Heaven!

The gelato is delicious! Can’t wait to try everything here. The service is also fantastic.

Incredibly authentic gelato! Sweetaly is the closest to the taste and texture of all of the gelato I ate while in Torino, Italy. The owner is passionate about his craft and it shows in his delicious creations. My husband and I love to go when we have little things to celebrate (and when we don’t). Check this place out… and leave a tip when you do! The staff is so kind.

I enjoyed lots of gelato during my recent extended stay in Italy. I don’t have to wait until I return to Italy to enjoy delicious gelato. I can get it a short distance from my home when they open their second gelateria at 1594 E. Stratford Avenue in Salt Lake City!

This is the best gelato you will have in Salt Lake. The owners are my Italy and make the most authentic gelato. I really loved the pistachio flavor.

We were in Italy last summer and had the chance to try real gelato. When we tried the gelato at sweetaly it tasted just like gelato we got in Italy. It just melted in my mouth and was the perfect thickness and consistency. We talked to Francesco the owner for a while and he was the nicest guy. This is the place for real authentic gelato, for those who have and haven’t tried gelato in Italy.

Friendly service, local and delicious. We spent $ 30 on gelato for 3 people because we want done to go as well, so worth it.

Loved it!!! My boyfriend and I are addicted to all forms of ice cream, so we always search out the local ice cream joints. We’ve had ice cream in a lot of places, with our favorite being a gelato shop in Seaside, OR, so unfortunately we compare every place to that. So trust me when I say this place is amazing! I love the smooth velvety creaminess of the chocolate gelato, and the tingling flavors of the shortbread one. I love that you can have a gelato cannoli! The only downside is the slightly small selection and the early closing time, but quality ranks among the top for me.

I tried the pear, blackberry, almond, and salted caramel flavors and all were fantastic! The service was excellent. A perfect home in the wall place!

We’ve been here twice in the past two weeks and couldn’t be more impressed. We have tried a few different flavors and each has been quite amazing. I especially like the pistachio, chocolate, coconut and hazelnut. Could be the best gelato in Utah.
The owner is also quite friendly and made the visit even more enjoyable. Don’t miss out on the almond cookies next to the cash register.

Absolutely delicious! Made with real fresh ingredients, you can can really taste the difference. Definitely five star gelato!!!

Well there goes the New Year’s diet! Why did I discover this place after my resolutions were made? I would give this place 10 stars if I could. 10 delicious stars.
It is a small unassuming shop off of 33^rd that you could miss if you blinked. But the inside was adorable and filled with tempting sweets and smiling faces. The friendly woman behind the counter with an Italian accent began to describe all the mesmerizing flavors with expert knowledge. She enthusiastically wanted us to sample anything that we wanted… tiramisu, white chocolate, almond, salted caramel, coconut. There were sorbettos too. I tried the pear and the dark chocolate sorbettos. How did they get the dark chocolate sorbetto so creamy? I wound up settling for only two: malaga (rum raisin on Sicilian steroids) and stracciatella (rich vanilla with flakes of chocolate or Italian chocolate chip if you will). Really you could not go wrong with any of the flavors here.
As I enjoyed my gelato, I closed my eyes and pretended that instead of looking out onto 33^rd south, I was gazing out onto some piazza in Firenze. The creamy mouth-​feel of this gelato was just heavenly. Like eating a cloud heavenly. It was served at the right temperature too… slightly warmer then regular ice cream, which lends itself to a perfect taste sensation and provides a smooth consistency. Nobody in Utah even comes close. Did you know you can even get your gelato in a cannoli shell? Mind blown.
If you can bring yourself to step away from the gelato case, you will notice that they offer espresso drinks (they even have affogato), pastries, custom cakes and an ice cream sandwich made from a warm brioche bun with a scoop of gelato and a smear of Nutella if you wish. Dreams do come true fellow Unilocalers.
FYI…I have a weakness for cannolis. I have been eating them since I was a bambina. And the cannolis here were some of the best I have ever had. Top notes of orange, little candied fruits and the filling was as creamy as the gelato. The shell wasn’t soggy at all, which means they were freshly filled.
I even got to practice my Italian a little and talk about where my family is from in Italy. It is these little touches (plus the amazing food) that makes you feel good about supporting a small local business run by a nice family trying to find a little bit of that American dream.
Bravo Sweetaly! BRAVO!

Love this place! The pear and the raspberry are fantastic, but the pistachio is the absolute best. But, take note that they only serve it on the weekends. A little pricey at first glance, but the portions are good size and totally worthwhile

OMG the dark chocolate gelato is awesome. Everything is hand made on site Italian gelato made by an Italian. Very good gelato.

There’s a new king of the gelato hill in the valley and its Sweetaly IMO. While the location may be a bit off the beaten path, it’s worth it. I like the later hours so it gives people a chance to experience all they have.
The flavored are constantly changing and genuine. Pear is my favorite, I could eat an entire bin of that. But they now have other items as well, be sure to check those out. And if you’re lucky enough, you can watch them make some extraordinary custom cakes.
Run, don’t walk here, that way you can work off the calories.

Having never visited Italy, I can’t talk about the «authenticity» of this gelato. But it’s made by Italian dudes. Having visited many a gelato shops in my day, I can definitely say that this stuff ranks up there. It’s quite good!
That’s the thing – you just have to know what you like. You have to go after it. The guys who started Sweetaly have embraced that, and it shows in these reviews. They love what they’re doing and they’re going after it. Now they’re opening a second shop and daring to dream. They’re bringing gelato to the people, the way that they do it.
And as for me, I may not know what’s right, wrong, or in between when it comes to what’s authentic, but I genuinely like this stuff so that’s what I’m diving into here. I’m behind it 100%. The Ferrero Rocher flavor was great, with bits of the candy mixed in. The pear was outstanding – I’ve only had pear gelato on one other occasion and it was tremendously good. Color me a fan.
Not the cheapest thing in the world, but when you want it, you just make the sacrifice and get it. Lots of flavors left to try.

This is the best gelato, made by a real Italian. Love the desserts, they are not that sweet just perfect sweetness not like most American cakes that is load with so much sugar.

Owner Bio: Francesco (a U of Utah alumni) and his wife left Italy to Utah about 5 months ago, after witnessing the decrepit state of the Italian economy (both as a businessman and citizen).
Sweetaly serves authentic Italian gelato, made from fresh and delicious ingredients. The store is small, and the parking scarce, but the passion and interaction from Francesco more than easily makes up for those ‘issues,’ if you can call them that!
My friends and I finished lunch at a nearby (also delicious, keep your eyes peeled for that review) restaurant and headed over to Sweetaly for dessert! What impressed me was the man behind the counter who shared his story with us (and let us sample the goods!) of his wares. I ended up getting a half and half (2 flavors of gelato in a cup), and THEN ordered a pint of another 2 flavors of gelato to go! Am I a fattie? Yes. Do I regret it? *lifts shirt to show ‘no ragrets’ tattoo* NOPE. (Disclaimer: I do not have that tattoo)
Francesco and Sweetaly — when I finish this pint, I SHALL return! I rarely give 5 out of 5 stars for any place I’ve been but this easily receives my endorsement for the «perfect 5!»

There are a lot of juxtapositions in this town, a lot of them. Given by the food offerings in Salt Lake City, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that the most premier eats are in the most avoidable places. Such is the case with Sweetaly Gelato, although this is a place that is far from the avoidable.
I just wanted a quick dessert, something to satisfy my need for a pre-​dinner sugar rush and this my friends, totally blew my sandals off! Talking about the place, it’s nearby the old Granite High School, in a grey building (think kiddie corner) along 3300 South. Inside, you’ll have a warm welcome, smiles, and samples if you please.
I opted for a smaller serving of Frollino gelato. I’m sure a couple of you can school me on what it is or I could google it to be a poser, but nah, this taste didn’t register in my brain for several minutes, hence the review. I haven’t had anything like this before and to describe it would be unjust. Simply stated, this is the best gelato I’ve had in the least likely place. I cannot wait to try more!
