GIO Gelati San Ramon — Restaurant in San Ramon

I had a busy start of the week but a perfect day for gelato when it was 83 degrees outside. When I reached the mall, I thought I might have to look for this place but you can't miss the board though it was a little inside next to Starbucks. It's a busy mall but luckily there is parking outside closer to the shop. I was given the three flavors of gelato in a three baby cone. I also got vanilla ice cream for my son. There were cute chairs outside the shop where we sat and enjoyed the ice cream. I really liked the three flavors of gelato in the baby cone, enough to taste it and so I was able to get a medium cone with two flavors, this time I got fig and pistachio.

Good gelato place. The chocolate gelato was very rich and delicious. I also got the orange chocolate, which I thought would be flavored orange and chocolate, but it was just the plain chocolate with orange pieces in it. I don't think I'd get that again. But the chocolate was really nice. Not as dense as some other gelato places and kind of creamy/melty, but still very good. Price was a bit steep for a small, but they give you enough that you can easily share it (which is what I did). I will definitely be back to try the other...
