Amato Gelato

Address: 2104 # 7 Kensington Road NW, Calgary, AB
Website: http://www.amatogelato.com/index.html
Hours of Operation: Forgot to capture them sorry!
Intro: This place won the best gelato in Calgary award in the 2011 FFWD magazine contest. I went to junior high right across the street. When I was in school the gelato shop was a Dairy Queen.
The Food:  I love gelato, and this place has really good gelato. The quality was really good. I had the caffe latte flavour and it had nice hints of expresso. There are 72 Flavours to choose from. You can enjoy the gelato in a cone or in a cup. They also have some take home options as well as they serve sorbet. They also have a lunch menu and serve Italian specialty coffees.
The Price:  It is a bit on the pricey side. For one scoop (which was enough for me) it was $3.50 in a bowl, $4 in a cone. For a double scoop it is $6.50 and $7.00 respectively
The Service: The service is what is holding this place back, the employee's seem to all hate their job, they don't smile. Also you need to pay before you can sample any flavours!
Other Items of Note: There is a patio outside for those nice summer days. Also there is a 25 cent charge to pay with credit/debit.
