Just a friendly reminder for those interested in quality gelato that while the costly prices may be highly inflate compared to your average American ice cream, tipping is anticipated and appreciated by it's congenial staff! You are paying for quality product that is seldom sold fresh and as unique, at the expense of quantity and the servers. Paciugo's targeted competitor, Starbucks manages to pave way for competitve wages and many financial aid, with a beginning wage averaging at $10.38 while Paciugo's parks mall location begins at $7.90, towards college students.

Ignore the price on the sign because it's much higher than what they ring you up for. $6.35 for a single scoop cup but the menu has it's...
Read moreAn employee stole my wallet in January of this year and very nonchalantly told me that she and the police officer and store security are friends. When I went back to look for it she was coincidentally coming back from her break. I reviewed the mall camera footage which only showed clips but also showed me with my wallet getting ice cream but then cuts away. But how convenient when this store's actual camera footage got mistakenly deleted. I mean seconds before it shows me walking away from this kiosk. I placed calls to their corporate office, explaining the situation. No one ever called me back. I found out two months later I want the...
