IL GUSTO West Covina - Authentic Italian Gelato with Vegan Options and Warm Service

Simona was so welcoming as this was my first time into the store. She was extremely easy to talk to and more than happy to answer any and all questions. Plus, they have lots of vegan options and the Gelato was delicious! Would completely recommend. Felt like a scoop of Italy.

I just came back from Italy 2 weeks ago, I surprisingly found out there is a gelato store. Well , The lady is super friendly. The store is very clean. However, to be frankly the gelato is actually not gelato. Gelato should be very soft, softer than cotton candy, it doesn't have the crunchy nor icy texture, just purely soft and smooth. You don't bite it , just sip in. It is not bad as a ice cream store , but sorry not gelato.

Great place for gelato! Owners are great people with great service! Authentic Italian gelato.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism. The staff and owner is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Simona even stayed with us to have a chat. We tried their vegan chocolate and milk chocolate gelato — both were absolutely amazing! Rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. My wife had the hazelnut and chocolate chip, and she loved every bite. It’s rare to find a place that nails both dairy and non-dairy options, but they’ve done it here. The service exceeded our expectations — not just because of the quality, but because of the care and detail put into every step. You don’t always find businesses that operate with both heart and excellence, but this one absolutely does. Thank you for an amazing experience — we’ll definitely be back and will be recommending you to everyone we know!

Came for a treat and boy were you surprised the lady that worked there was very knowledgeable about Italy and how they make their gelato. We ended up getting the strawberry and vanilla strawberry and mango cherry and Stacie and the pistachio with the chocolate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I would’ve given a five, but you didn’t get to taste anything you just had to hope that everything was delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating no public restroom. They do have a couple of pastries and some cakes everything is decorated really cute was really clean. Service was great. Pricing was OK along with the portion size. There’s plenty of parking and plenty of things to do in the shopping center 10 out of 10 recommend

The Gelato was sooo tasty, especially the chocolate flavor. My bf decided on grabbing a sweet treat here and I’m so happy we did. The lady who helped us was very sweet. The prices are reasonable for the amount of scoops you rec. Supporting a small business is definitely a better choice than going to any large chain.
