Staff is always super friendly and helpful, the gelato is always amazing (some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had) and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint is you never know what flavors they will have on a particular day but I’ve never had a bad one and variety is the spice of life so it’s not that big of a deal.
Sometimes you Google and win. Other times you Google and get Romeo’d. Challenging access, nifty back view, bad coffee. While I saw her make it, I could swear it tasted like instant with artificial sweetener.
I stopped by for some sweet for my birthday, and got the Lemoncello and candied mango sorbets. So good, remind me of Little Italy (NYC).
If you are looking for great gelato, this is the place! If you are looking for good (or even mediocre) customer service, look elsewhere! We were clearly an inconvenience to the girl that was working here. I was very disappointed especially given all the rave reviews about the customer service, even my kids commented about how incredibly rude she was.
Second time visiting and another fantastic selection of home made gelato! Coffee is delicious. Staff friendly. Perfect pre or post supper treat!
Great flavors of gelato and excellent coffee! Friendly staff and all around exceptional customer service.
We almost stayed in after a long day at the state science fair, but my son wanted "ice cream" to celebrate his achievement so we went back out. Best decision ever. Everything was terrific. Mario, the owner, was wonderful. We talked and tasted several flavors of his amazing gelato before selecting our favorites. We're all extremely sad to be back to almost 5 hours away. If we find ourselves back in Charleston, we'll be back to Cafe Romeo as often as possible. Even if you don't know you need Cafe Romeo, trust me, you do. Just go.
Delicious! Everytime we go, there are new tasty flavors to try, too. We met the owner on our last visit, and he was very friendly. Overall a great experience, and I would recommend trying it!
Buonasera. 5 stars . Incredible coffee and gelato. Chef Mario made us feel uniquely special . What an excellent experience
Yummy gelato, cozy setting, excellent espresso
Our baby girl had her first strawberry ice cream cone here! She loved it & we loved ours too. I got the latte flavor and salty caramel. It was so flavorful and creamy. I also tried the Latte as well, so good! Our boys got birthday cake (the blue one) they didn’t leave anything behind. Owner was super friendly and very helpful. We really loved this old house and the character it has, you even have a place to sit outside. You won’t be disappointed, lots of flavors to choose from, coffee and nice place to hang out.
Delicious little Gelato spot! The person working was super sweet and helpful with suggestions! We ended up so pleased with the affigato with amaretto and the kettle corn, pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. The tiramisu was a close runner up when we tasted it. Lovely place, can't wait to visit again soon! ☕️🍨
The gelato is amazing with more flavors then you'll be able to try in one or even three trips. The owner is jovial and enjoys talking and teaching his customers. Stop in after dinner for an espresso before heading home. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a tasty treat or top-notch espresso.
The gelato is fantastic! The strawberry is a personal favorite but I recently had a coffee (maybe espresso?) that did not disappoint. The flavors change regularly so go often!
That's the Best Ice Cream I've had for a long long time. It's was outstanding. I had the Blueberry Cream and my wife the Hazelnut one and they both were awesome.
Great place with comfortable inside back porch to relax! Espresso too
Intimate and Amazing!!! It reminded me of home. I love the fact that it’s kinda hidden and you have to dig a lil deeper to find this gem of a place.
Love this place! Great gelato and great coffee! Always a good stop when going through Charleston! All quality and amazing. Mario is an awesome guy and fun to talk to!
Very authentic gelato and it couldn't be more delicious. The customer service is outstanding and so is their coffee. It's always a wonderful treat to get a large coffee and some gelato. Go on by and give them a try! It's so worth it. I live nearby and can't stay away lol.
Love stopping at Cafe Romeo when I come into town. The cutest place with the yummiest gelato!
