There was a long line here. There’s no true outdoor seating except the 3 smaller benches in the front.Got a small that has strawberry and rosemary cheesecake. The strawberry was really good and had so much burst of the strawberry flavor. The rosemary cheesecake had more hints and flavor of rosemary then cheesecake but still aster good. Staff was friendly as well.
Oh man. We stopped for some Gelato because we were close and boy did we luck out! The owner / master chef behind the Gelato came out and talked about his favorite flavors / combos and was extremely nice. Every flavor we tried tasted natural and great. I got banana and chocolate mix and pictured here is the thin mint flavor. Definitely worth stopping!
Incredibly delicious gelato... all hand made in flavors that are creative and big-time flavorful (new flavors seem to be on the list every time I stop by). I cant get enough of this treat.
Omg this place is my favorite gelato spot! I picked three flavors and the blended so nicely together. I usually get overwhelmed by the amount I’m served, this was relatively the same amount I get at other places, but I was by no means overwhelmed. The experience was delightful 🤧
I have no photos of the gelato because we finished it too quickly - that’s how good it is!I’ve been here twice and tried 4 of the flavors so far: strawberry basil (amazing and refreshing), mango, chocolate (dark and rich), and Oreo. Strawberry basil and chocolate are my favorites! I love how the fruit flavors have actual fruit bits and seeds, and the chocolate has bits of chocolate too.The owner is so friendly and passionate, and the young man at the cashier is friendly and hard working as well.Highly recommend this place!
Incredible gelato and sorbet. The best part is that it’s not sickening sweet like American ice cream. You feel good after eating this, not like you need insulin.
Great place to eat ice cream! But is pandemic time so only outside seating on 2 bench chairs!!! Parking is easy is all street parking. Ice cream especially chocolate is a bit too sweet for me(thus only 4 stairs).
Great flavor. Not overwhelming with sweetness. Good amount served for the price. A must stop and buy when in the area
This is for sure the best dessert place Half Moon Bay. You can taste the real vanilla in the gelato which is quite amazing and you can’t find at any other ice cream shop. If you live in half moon bay or are driving by, you need to make a quick stop here. I could spend hours describing how amazing this place is, but you just need to try it for yourself. I’d rate it 6 stars if I could.
The best gelato I’ve ever eaten!! The staff was amazing and sweet! You could tell the gelato was made with love and care:)
Excellent gelato. True Italian recipe. Not too sweet. Just creamy enough. Very friendly staff and owner. Home 🏠 made
Delicious gelato!! The flavors are special and wonderful. Great quality, the serving size is also just right, enough to make you wait for the next time and not too much that makes you feel bad after...The owner came to talk with us and was so nice and friendly and you can see ( and taste) how much love he puts into this business.
Delicious Gelato made from scratch daily. We visited during the pandemic and they’ve taken all safety precautions. The pistachio and vanilla bean flavours were a hit. Definitely recommend.
Hands down the best gelato I have ever had. “Every batch made from scratch!” Go try it right now!!! You will not be disappointed. Flavors vary and we tried just about every flavor they had today and walked away with smiles 😃 Deliciousness 💚❤️🤍
Delicious gelato, easy parking, affordable price. My wife got two different flavors(pineapple/blackberry sorbet) for 5$ and both of them were well worth it!
This is some of the best Gelato Ive ever had.
Really worth getting there. The ice cream is excellent. The chef is very nice.
Best gelato ever! Super fresh, made from scratch daily. We try the vanilla bean, Oreo and thin mints, they were delicious!
Love every flavor. Whipped cream. Banana, chocolate, oreo, pineapple! Every flavor was so rich and strong! I am not a huge ice cream or gelato person really, but I was so pleased and satisfied with all the yumminess Gulinos Gelato Posesses. I also love that he makes a few batches of the flavors he felt like making, and serves it till its gone! Less waste maybe even no waste! Yay for that.
Decent little gelato place that is a good option if youre in the mood for frozen dessert
I dont care to much about gelato but Gulino Gelato is amazing
Flavors were amazing!! Best sorbet I’ve ever had! Owner was so nice and friendly too.
It was delish!! And the owner was super passionate about the flavors!
Unbelievable gelato!! Super high quality product and the flavors are amazing. You have to try the Graham cracker gelato it’s a great flavor. And Overall it is the best gelato i ever had. Highly recommend this spot.
Tried vanilla bean and thin mints. Natural flavors tasted pretty good. Must try in Half moon bay !!
Incredible real gelato. Everything is made fresh each morning using organic ingredients. The service is prompt and courteous and the owner is a real gem - extremely enthusiastic about making a high quality product and engaging with his customers.
Gilino is a great guy. Try the guittard chocolate. Excellent
The best gelato outside Italy. Marvelous!
I love this place, strawberry basil is divine. My only wish is for this place to be open all of the time.
Amazing taste and such sweet and helpful workers!
Gelato is very fresh and delicious, a must if you are anywhere in the area. Cant wait til he opens his creperie!!
Yum! Tastes like true gelato, with very friendly workers. It is very close to the beach too, which I love. Thank you Gulino Gelato!
More tasty than you would imagine. Make sure you stop by if youre in Half Moon Bay!
Very subtle flavors. Not as rich as traditional flavors but very good. Really enjoy the mint and mango flavors. Highly recommended.
Gelato is excellent! Definitely more expensive than ice cream but it is a good place to try when in Half Moon Bay when a chain ice cream shop just wont do. Flavors are small batch and limited. Dont know if thats due to Covid-19 though.
This place was so good! Even my 2 and 4 year old boys loved the cookies and cream and mixed berries!
Absolutely delicious! We came here on a whim while wandering the area, and I cannot express enough how great it is. I’m excited to come back as often as I can — and hopefully make it a regular custom once the pandemic’s over!
Amazing gelato, fun rotation of flavors
Excellent gelato, I got the vanilla-like one. So good. The owner is friendly. Great small business.
One of the best gelato I have ever had.
The Gelato was really delicious and the staff was friendly. If I go to Half Moon Bay area again, I want to visit again!
Delicious gelato in downtown Half Moon Bay. I had Strawberry Basil and Thin Mints and it was fantastic.
This place has seriously good gelato with amazing fresh flavors. Worth a drive.
Highly recommend banana ice cream! Best I’ve had! Will be back!
Delicious, fresh-daily gelato. I got strawberry basil and mango, both were delicious. My family got biscotti, chocolate, and vanilla, all equally exceptional. A must for an afternoon in half moon bay!
Such delicious gelato!!!!!! Fresh ingredients and super creative flavors. Today we tried Chocolate gelato and Pineapple/Berry and Mango sorbetto. Whenever we’re in Half Moon Bay we try and stop into this awesome little shop!!
Love this place!. Delicious gelato!
Delicious!! Ill be back :)
Best. Gelato. Ever. Seriously so good and different, fun flavors every time I go. We just tried strawberry basil and biscotti--SO YUM!
Great little place taking a lot of pride into doing its produce with the know how and ingredients for a delicious result!
Amazing creamy Gelato, friendly service, & they are very good about wearing masks. Note: they do not take cash at this time.
Best, delicious gelato! We got the strawberry/basil sorbet, and since it was so good we went back and ordered the same one again :) Also really good and friendly customer service!
The man running the place was very nice and accommodating we will definitely be back
Really delicious gelato! We had the chocolate and fior di latte (cream) flavours and both were great. The owner is also really friendly. Highly recommend!
Hidden gem on Correa at the end of downtown Main street in Half Moon Bay. You can taste Gulinos passion and expertise for gelato in every bite. His sorbet is also divine and always features fresh local organic ingredients. We love supporting local family businesses like this. Just go, now, before they sell out!
The honey one was amazing. The chocolate was too. And Jean-Paul, the owner is really nice. Stop by !
This is a great spot to get something sweet after lunch or a stroll on Main st. Flavors change because all batches are made fresh daily. CC only, no cash, but theres an atm across the street.
Aesthetic and really fun to be in. All sorts of flavors you can choose from. I love this place.
Best homemade gelato place on the SF Peninsula. Very friendly French owner, trained in Italy. Authentic gelato made from scratch.
Refreshing rotating flavors. You are able to get multiple flavors if you want. This is definitely somewhere you should stop by.
Authentic gelato italiano. Really good flavor. The owner is super nice too
Hole-in-the-wall gelato!
I waited two years to finally try this Gelato. After vacationing in Europe I wanted more Gelato but all we had here was ice cream. So while wine tasting near this shop i came across the owner who my wife and I talked to and he said he was going to open up a gelato shop here. We were excited at the prospect of a gelato shop near a beach we like so we promised ourselves we would come back to try it. Fast forward two years we came to the beach with our 16 month old son and finally got to try some of the gelato. It was really good, just like in Europe. I would really recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic gelato.
The most delightful experience in Half Moon Bay!’ On top of making just scrumptious gelato, the owner is a wonderful story teller if he has the time. We were lucky to have found this gem on our way out of town on an overcast slow day for gelato. Ended up hanging around talking with the owner for almost an hour. So much fun! Can’t wait to visit again!!! 🥰
Excellent gelato shop on the corner of a cute little Main Street in town. Fior di latte was phenomenal and a perfect compliment to the Speculoos flavor.
Amazing!!! My son says the owner/maker should be on America’s Got Talent for his Gelato. He’s not kidding. It is delicious. We originally tried Almond Butter thinking we wouldn’t like it and WOW! We were wrong. It was so good!!! We went back the next day and had Banana and it may have been even better. The owner was so friendly and warm. We can’t wait to go back and try more gelato.
The hazelnut ice cream was delicious!! Love that he makes it all from scratch!
We really enjoyed - owner very committed to making first rate gelato
Didnt like their galeto it had a bad tast to it, and staff was very rude,will never go their aguien dont recommend.
Incredible gelato. The owner went to Italy to learn how to make ice cream, the result is amazing
This is a cute little place with great tasting ice cream and very friendly service
So good!! You can taste the fresh ingredients to use to make their sorbet.
Amazing gelato!Home-made flavors, the owner is super friendly and learned how to make them in Italy.
Delicious and fresh flavours. Just the right sweetness.
Excellent. Reminds me of gelato in tItaly. Good flavors.
I went to Guilino today for the strawberry basil sorbetto. I tried it about 1 month ago and I had to come back all the way from Menlo Park for it. I have never tasted anything like it before, this is absolutely delicious. So fresh, wonderful combination strawberry and basil. Thank you Jean Paul
Awesome! super professional
Perfect gelato!
Best gelato, organic ingredients, 64% cacao chocolate, sooooo good!
Very high quality ice cream. Highly recommend checking this place out. Thanks for the great service and delicious ice cream!
LOVE this place! Small little place but big on flavor. The owner is charming helps create an overall positive experience.
Best gelato I have ever tasted!!! Made fresh from scratch by the nicest guy. A must when in Half moon bay!!
Yummy homemade Gelato
Cute, hole in the wall ice cream shop.Honey rosemary was very, very good; dark chocolate OK, vanilla bad. Portions are small, so I’d rather get medium or large. I’ll definitely go back to try other flavors when I re-visit Half Moon Bay.See below: The owner is too touchy and unable to handle reviews from customers.
Great Gelato. Friendly proprietor!
Was super good. the owner is awesome. there is a cool enclosed courtyard to eat at. Best gelato ever
Completely delightful and delicious! Worth the wait if there is a line. Can’t beat fresh gelato!
Having taken an Ice-Cream course I can tell the quality of the Gelato served here is great, you can tell he takes pride in his product and dedicates time and effort for you to enjoy.I have come twice now and each time I’m pleased with the gelato and the owner is super friendly.Be sure to stop by and get yourself a great treat.
JeanPaul and his crew are always super friendky and serves up the best gelato!!!
The gelato here is of incredible quality. Fresh ingredients, smooth and delicious. The owner is welcoming and very corteous. We will be back.
The chocolate and honey nut gelato were great! They were out of most flavors and the person serving us wasn’t the nicest! Great product but should improve on their customer service!!
They have the Best Gelato in San Mateo County. They are always kind, professional, friendly with an incredible Gelato!
