Gelazzi
Published by foodette November 20th, 2007 in Denver, Dessert, Restaurant Reviews.
What is it about being on vacation that makes one think they MUST have copious amounts of dessert? My final food-find of my trip to Denver is Gelazzi, an authentic gelato shop with an innovative twist: they also serve alcohol.
Not just any mixed drink can be had here. They serve two types of mixed drinks - one that’s creamy and made with chocolate (or other flavors) gelato, and another that’s fruity and made with one of their fruit sorbets.
I opted for a chocolate/hazelnut flavor in a waffle cone (hey, I was on vacation!). The service was beyond friendly, offering my husband and I a tiny taste of the two varieties of martini - both were delicious. They also let us know that all of the gelato and sorbet is freshly made in-house.
Gelazzi is located in Downtown Denver in Larimer Square at 1411 Larimer St, Denver, CO 80202
Phone: 303-534-5056
They also have an additional location in Fort Collins, and according to their website, have more locations to come.
Here’s a suggestion: Los Angeles!

What a fantastic idea! I hope the trend continues west.
For me, it’s because I don’t have sweets in the house, so when I go away I like to splurge. Let me tell you, I’d fly to Denver just to go to Gelazzi!
Darlene - No kidding! It would be great to have a Gelato martini whenever I want.
Susan - if you ever do have Gelazzi, please do drop me a line and let me know what you think.
I love that idea too! I hope they make it to the East Coast!
I actually work at the Fort Collins Gelazzi- we appreciate all the positive feedback! We’re currently looking to open more Gelazzi locations, so keep your fingers crossed that we’ll make it to you
Hmmm, I am tempted to try this.
