Gelato Fiasco is a place your taste buds must visit! The staff is very friendly and lets you have samples. Even if your not in the mood for a big dessert stop in and at least get a "treat" size; you wont be disappointed!

The gelato was a sweet cup of loveliness with an average cost. The coffee was prepared with the patience of a true master artist. It was handcrafted perfection. Te only downside was the area of the place. A few bars and other somewhat dodgy areas make it not the most appealing for a late night snack. We got two visits... More

From the minute we walked in the staff was welcoming and willing to help us in any way. None of us had been to the Fiasco before but had heard very good things so our expectations were high. And they were far exceeded!! The staff offered suggestions on fun ways to mix and match the various flavors of Gelato. And... More

This place has a great selection of different flavors! The staff was very friendly and you can sample every flavor if you want (we did not). You can also mix different flavors in the size you get. I had the brownie batter and chocolate noir. My wife got the pineapple cheesecake and hazelnut. They were all excellent and rich in... More

Simply stated, this is the best gelato ever. The flavors are fresh and amount to a taste sensation. You won't regret going. The staff are always kind and patient (there are a lot of flavors to sort through) and the atmosphere is welcoming.

So many choices, so little time - this place is around the corner from my office and makes for a sweet mid-afternoon treat! Red Spoon Club lets you earn points for dollars spent and points can be redeemed for free treats. Love their unusual choices - go out on a limb, some of the craziest sounding ones have turned out...

A good selection of stables and always new creative flavors. The Neptune's Delight is dark ale/chocolate and wonderful. Great staff. Unlimited tastes.

The Gelato Fiasco is my favorite dessert spot in Portland. The flavors are amazing and the service is great! They encourage you to sample as many flavors as you'd like. I strongly recommend their Sweet Resurgam...it is my absolute favorite! You can mix and match any flavors for endless possibilities. This is an awesome place to get some delicious gelato!

The Fiasco offers a wonderful variety of gelato and sorbet with amazing flavors - many of which represent the location and season (like "Peeps" for Easter or other local ingredients). The products offered far exceed expectations and are so much better than run of the mill ice cream. The flavors are full and rich and fun! Servings are generous, but... More
