righteous gelato

hit or miss. i had fiasco samples at a few food events and the flavours were not great. however, my husband loves the frozen hot chocolate and some of the fruit flavours are good. others, not so much: the salted caramel is vile. i am pretty sure they use bottled torani coffee syrup, which tastes nothing like caramel. it's the onlyicecream i have ever purchased that i considered throwing out. their homemade marshmallows look great but can be super grainy. they make a rose flavour which i was excited for because i will go out of my way for anything with rose oil, but they add so much that it's almost too strong to eat and tastes greasy. the consistency of the gelato is always good but they have to work on their flavours and stop using packaged flavourings. i've had several that aren't very good at all, which, for the price, is not cool. villageicecream is only a bit more pricey and far better.

great atmosphere! got the whole workshop with an open space, cafe area at the front foricecream & drinks. they used to serve sandwiches & paninis as well, but have since streamlined to just focus onicecream, which makes sense. quality staff, gelato, and beverages!

omg, this place is too cute with lots cool decoration. fiasco is a little shop in an industry area, a local calgarian businessthis is anicecream factory with a store front selling their gelato. not many favor to choice, but they all tasted really good. they do have more favor if you buy a pint and take out. we ordered a large bunty bar to share. the flavor was great and rich. a great place to relax!

hello my name is deanna and i am a gelato addict.. some people smoke, some drink, some gamble and i eat fiasco gelato. my freezer is full! there are so many amazing kinds i just can't decide and buy them all. creative flavours, made with quality ingredients in small batches, less fat thanicecream and priced better than ben and jerry's- how can you go wrong?!

not impressed. purchased the banana gram cracker gelato. at almost 7 bucks a pop, i expected a quality product. what i received was sub-par, gummy, over churned, and false flavored, with more ingredients than corner storeicecream. not what i expected from a supposed "quality"icecream. i'd take ben an jerry's over this any day.

too cool for gelato. a few months ago i enjoyed some lovely gelato at the anderson lrt station. i was served by a very friendly chap who offered me a sample of his freshest gelato before i even had to ask. was craving some tonight so decided to hunt fiasco down with my hubby in crowfoot for some after dinner treats. unfortunately my trip was not so delightful this occasion. we decided on a waffle with the s'moresicecream and a lemonade. as we waited for our waffle to cook (which came out half-raw), i was given a cup with lemon juice andice(no berries as advertised) and told i could fill it up from the water tap (looked like the hose connection) by the tires. he also had put way to much syrup in it, had to refill and water it down three times. what is that?! once we got the half raw waffle, sad to see for the extra $3 we had three tablespoons of gelato. the gelato is very tasty, but not the best value. most definitely will not be hunting fiasco down again.

wow this year at the calgary stampede has been a hot one, best weather i’ve seen for this time of year in a long time, which makes this day 7 blog post even more fitting. if you don’t know what gelato is, check it out here www.fiascogelato.ca. in short, it’s gourmeticecream, made in small batches with the finest ingredients. sorry fiasco, i know not to call iticecream, but for the people who don’t know what it is, it’s the easiest way to describe it.
