Best Gelato

We'll be honest. We went for the gelato but stayed for the accordion player, and when that beautiful septuagenarian belted "That's Amore," we had to wipe a tear from the corner of our eye. On Wednesday nights at Sonny's Gelato Café in Boca Raton, you too can be serenaded while relaxing outdoors, the wind caressing your hair as you lick a nutella and banana gelato. The Italian family who runs it knows their stuff — they've got creamy, sweet cassata Siciliana, stracciatella, and zuppa Inglese gelato — and it's all made healthy, with skim milk and not much fat. The only problem with Sonny's is that it tends to run out of things, as retirement home aids often schlep their entire crew over for an afternoon treat. It's therefore beneficial to show up early and often. You can't miss the mango-colored building on Federal Highway, just north of 20th Street. We also recommend the appetizers, soups, salads, panini, and classic Italian hot subs, served daily from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

  1. I don't think that is the best gelato in Palm Beach County. Why don't you take a trip to the Gelato Grotto and find out. Over on PGA Blvd. and Fairchild Gardens Ave. in Legacy place.

  2. I think that Sonnys gelato is a horrible gelato. The best gelato in the world without a doubt is Paciugo gelato. They have the most amazing gelato and the best milk shakes. There are 4 locations in Florida. Miami,Boca Raton, Hollywood, and St. Pete.

  3. Sonny's Gelato is not horrible, but Gelato Grotto is much better and both are better than Paciugo. Try for yourself and find out. The presentation at Gelato Grotto is also spectacular and worth the trip.
