10Best Italian
Gelatiamo
(Restaurants - Italian)
1400 3rd Ave, Seattle  98101 • 206-467-9563
Distance: ~556 ft *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. At the upscale Gelatiamo ice cream parlor, located downtown, patrons can enjoy Old Country pastries along with potent espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes. Stop in around noon, and you'll be able to savor a hot panini prior to your favorite sugar-dusted treat. Of course, the wise choice is always a few scoops of their gelato, a dense Italian-style ice cream that's nothing short of addictive. In particular, the frutti di bosco (mixed fruit) and classic "cioccolato" (chocolate) earn high marks.
