Caffe Antico

Had the wild cherry and it was wonderful! Real cherries in it. Killer. My only complaint is they don’t offer samples. Really? It’s not as if the flavors are just chocolate and vanilla– some are unique and deserve a sample before committing.

Cute décor, actually reminds me of Italy. Good coffee. Small and cozy. Barista not so nice but won’t let that ruin anything.

Came here for some gelato after dinner. I got two scoops, flavors I cannot recall. But they were pretty darn tasty. This is some good gelato that I would highly recommend.

We went to eat pizza at Antico and then saw this place for dessert! Me and my husband tried Tiramisu here! We just loved it! It was the best tiramisu we had so far in Atlanta! There coffee liquor at bottom was outstanding! It had thick creams on top and great blend of coffers with sugar! I recommend this highly!

My friends and I came here after a lovely dinner at Gio’s. We walked in and there a line and as we waited, I noticed that they only had one door as the entrance and exit. It was a bit annoying as we continually had to move to let people go by. Then, I found that they dont do samples! I was initially panicking because how I was I going to decide what to get!!!
After some serious back and forth, I decided on the cookie and cream gelato on a cone. They give you a huge scoop for $ 5.
The gelato was absolutely delicious. I generally cannot finish huge scoops of ice cream but I finished every bit of it. The only thing I would have changed is the cone. It tasted a little funny so I will probably just get it in a cup next time…

Went to Italy this past summer + also went to ATLy a couple weeks ago to Antico + then Caffe Antico for dessert. Wasn’t planning on getting gelato + then we walked in. Who was I kidding, we were getting gelato.
We asked the server what his favorite flavors were + he said salted caramel + cinnamon vanilla. Oh boy. My 2 friends + I split the beautiful richness of that gelato. And ATLy gelato was as good as the kind I had in Rome in front of the Coliseum.
Go. Go with your friends. Your kids. Your husband. Your boyfriend. Your parents.
You won’t leave sorry. And go on a warm night when you can sit outside on the patio and gaze at the lights looking at the mural on the wall. You don’t even feel like you’re in the city anymore.
A gem.

Surprised there’s so few reviews… I recall there’s a sweet corner within Antico, this is the new expansion? Still the best Gelati place in ATL! totally reminds me days in Italy. The seats area is quite small, more like a living room homie style.
As Vicent mentioned, the cons are:
1. they don’t offer samples (I think even in Europe, Gelati stores are very generous to let you try); to some point, if the gelati is really good, people gonna still buy, pro the same amount matches the price at Jeni’s.
2. the other dessert options are quite limited, I only saw a few items in the counter.
However, guess since it’s backed by Antico, the boss is quite confident about the quality. Luckily, you can feel the difference & premium taste once put them in your mouth.
I tried $ 7 «little Italia» — Pistachio Vanilla & Strawberry, as you can see, these are the Italy flag colors. You can see & chew the crunchy pistachio nuts, vanilla beans and smashed strawberry, a bit sweet to me, but should be great go with some illy coffee. I would like to come back for more flavors.

Great little spot for coffee and sweets. They have a few baked items which I have not tried, but the cannoli was not bad and the prize item is the gelato which is awesome! They have pretty comfortable inside and outside seating that is good for large parties or with children.
The cons are that it is a little expensive, they don’t give samples and can be cramped at times.
It is a great follow up to a meal from one of the three restaurants surrounding it. They also serve illy Coffee which to me is one of the more smooth Italian brands! Each gelato comes with a cookie and a smile when given to a child. Good little spot if you are in the area :)
