Dalmata Gelateria is praised for creative, flavorful ice creams and an artisanal quality that shines through in not overly sweet, well balanced flavors. Flavors like apricot, Fior di latte, raspberry chocolate and a brioche with chocolate ice cream and pistachio swirl are repeatedly highlighted as standout twists. Staff are described as cordial and the decor charming, lending a friendly neighborhood vibe and, at times, a lively line. While many consider the quality worth the price, some reviewers feel portions are small and prices high for the value. The menu is described as curated and changes often, with seasonal twists that keep the experience fresh. Some notes mention that flavors can be intense but not overly sweet and that fruit notes feel natural rather than artificial. Overall the place is seen as a standout local gem with a stylish setting and a tendency to draw crowds, though not everyone ranks it as the absolute best in town. A few critiques include service slips and occasional portions not meeting expectations.
I used to see the line-up after their opening. I could finally go with my daughter & we tried their ice cream. Very nice service & the ice cream was OK. To be honest I was quit dissapointed. Not too much flavors' choice 😟

10$ for ice cream slushie in a tiny cup? No thank you. The ice cream & the slushie had nothing special. At that price I would rather go to la cremiere & get myself 2 floaters.
We had the apricot/fior di latte swirl & the chocolate/strawberry swirl. So fresh, not too sweet, just the right amount - delicious! & the staff were so kind :)
Délicieuse découverte. Le petit comptoir semble être un décor tiré d'un film de Wes Anderson. Le service est cordial. Le menu est court, simple, mais qualitatif.
It's a nice new place in the neighborhood. I tried the brioche with chocolate ice-cream & pistachio drizzle. The brioche was not my favorite, but the rest was soo yummy & not too sweet. Would love to try the ice-creams with abricots next time.

Tried Dalmata for the first time & was blown away! The Apricot twist was insane as was the brioche with chocolate ice cream & pistachio swirl…..superb!
Super delicious & fresh! Not overly sweet which is a huge plus for ice cream.
It's the perfect treat to have on a warm day or just to end your meal on a good note.
They don't have many items on the menu which means they really take care of the batches of ice cream they make daily.
Would definitely keep going back!

I tried their apricot & fior di latte soft serve today & I absolutely loved it. My fried who had the gelato & brioche was very happy too. Not only what they serve is incredibly delicious is also not super sweet & well balanced
Visited Dalmata to try this new local gem! It is owned by the same team from Le Violon. I tried the 2 twist combinations as well as the sundae (yes, I went with an appetite). The twist combos were tastefully put together for the summer season. If I had to pick, the strawberry chocolate is my new go-to flavour! I enjoyed them in a cup & it was perfect. The sundae had vanilla ice cream with a hint of mint infused in it. The chocolate sauce & strawberry pieces made the piece come alive. As someone who dislikes strawberries, I cannot imagine the sundae without it because of their texture & added sweetness. It just goes to show that every detail & flavour is considered at Dalmata. The price matches the high quality food & service, in my opinion. 5/5 recommend!
tried here twice, positives:
+sundae is really good, you can feel the high quality
+barbotine zam is amazing, must try.
+apricot is really nice, best apricot ice cream I've ever tried
+design is super cute
negatives:
-sundae should be 30% bigger, for 10.50 I won't eat it regularly, it's so small. too many good competitors next streets, I think this is the smallest portion per price
