It was just ok gelato. I love gelato. In fact, my 2 year old knows the difference between gelato, ice cream, and frozen yogurt. We walked past a frozen yogurt shop and I asked if she wanted that or to get gelato. She wanted gelato. So we walked over from the Mirage to get some. Well it's just ok. My biggest frustration is the tiny cup they put the scoop in. We got two scoops and they are just regular size scoops, not huge so that they won't fit in a container. The cups are too small. The scoop barely fits in the cup, so the sides of the scoop go out over the side of the cup which makes for a lot of dripping in over 100 degree weather especially with no place to sit inside and eat it. This was the most UNEJOYABLE gelato experience I ever had with my child. It melted all over me while carrying it to the food court in the Venetian. She was screaming because she wanted to eat it, but it was literally running all over down the cup and on me and I wasn't about to hand the sticky cup to her to have her covered. My hands were soaked with gelato. Ridiculus. I have eating gelato in various countries and states including in Italy, and seriously have never had such an issue with the cup being so small. I lived in Florida and got gelato in the heat several times a week, BUT that place gave a cup that fit the gelato so when it melted, it didn't drip all over me. I think they need to reconsider the delivery method. Once I got to the food court in the Venetian to eat it, I saw a gelato place in the food court that had appropriate containers to serve theirs. I truly wish I had known that. I would skip Zio unless you want to walk and eat it fast and don't have kids.
