Experience Authentic Italian Gelato in Redwood City

At SF Gelateria, our passion for artisanal gelato was born from a global exploration of sweet culinary traditions. Inspired by Italian gelato culture, we attended Gelato University to master the craft, combining authentic techniques with California's fresh, organic ingredients. Our mobile gelato shop delivers the highest quality gelato made daily with no artificial additives or coloring. We specialize in Italian classics like stracciatella and pistachio, American favorites including cookies & cream, and globally inspired flavors such as matcha and saffron milk tea. Our gelato catering services elevate events with options like the La Dolce Vita Cart, Go Go Gelato Cart, and pre-packed delivery for groups of all sizes.

We create vegan-friendly, low-fat gelato using natural ingredients while maintaining sustainability throughout our operations. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or birthday party, our friendly team offers complimentary tastings and custom flavor creation to match your unique vision. With shop hours spanning six days a week in Redwood City, we bring the joy of farm-to-cone gelato straight to our community while supporting dietary needs through our allergen-conscious menu.

We had SF Gelateria for our wedding and they were amazing! So many guests commented on the gelato cart and all of their flavors were amazing. Would 10/10 recommend them!

I recommend only considering the small size. If you get a medium or large, be ready to be disappointed that it's the same volume as the small. We seriously weighed them outside to confirm. That said, it really depends on who's working as to whether or not the sizes will contain different amounts of gelato. I was so disappointed several times and regret not learning my lesson the first time.

I want to share with you a place that I found while I was walking on Broadway. A fascinating gelateria, their products are very natural and with a unique flavor. We tried dark chocolate (dairy free) mango sorbet and pistachio. 100% recommended. Let's support our local businesses!!

I tried their non-dairy chocolate ice cream, mango sorbetto, and strawberry sorbetto. The ice cream was 3.5/5 but their sorbettos we 5/5! I also love the fact that they only use paper cups and wooden spoons. Even the gloves they use are compostable! I am very happy that they make it possible for me to enjoy a treat without creating plastic waste that would pollute our planet for 100s of years.

The four stars are for the mango sorbetto and the strawberry sorbetto. Both tasted of the actual fruit flavor and the texture was perfect- icy, smooth, and sticky (not sure if that's the best word to describe it but it was... sticky). I was able to do two flavors in the 1 scoop (piccolo) which was the perfect size and the employee was friendly and patient when I was sampling flavors. I sampled a few other flavors but did not like them (pistachio, honey lavender, triple berry).

We popped in for gelato on a Sunday afternoon and were quite pleased! The gelato was delicious (I had the pistachio flavor, and my husband and daughter each had the chocolate) and the service was fast and friendly. The outdoor seating was lovely and felt Covid safe. My 3 year old was thrilled by the wooden rocking horse and kid-size picnic bench they had available. The only thing that made me a bit Covid nervous was the fact that they are allowing customers to taste samples before picking a gelato. While I loved doing this pre-pandemic, this doesn't seem very Covid-safe to me. The

Unsure why the 5 stars here, maybe diff preferences in taste. This is definitely NOT gelato, more like ice cream.

.:: Sweets ::.

$4.75 1 scoop Piccolo: I got half tiramisu and half triple berry. Tiramisu was very chunky with dry dry dry pieces of "cake" overall weird taste, not very cohesive and a bit too sweet. The triple berry was fruity in flavors but the taste didnt wow me at all.

.:: service/ ambiance/ parking ::. Service was meh. Cashier wasnt too enthusiastic. Came on a Sunday night around 7-8pm about 1 party in front waited about 10 min. The place is small, no dine in.
