Simply amazing. I attended their Grand Opening today, so I got to try several of their sandwich offerings and gelato. Everything was SO good! The chicken wrap is light and healthy—the chicken super tender. The meatball sandwich seems to use the same wood-fired meatballs as Forno (next door), which are full of flavor with a little bit of heat, and the bread is soft and warm. This wasn’t my first experience with their gelato, but I’m never disappointed—they rotate their flavors frequently, never afraid to try new things. Last but not least, the owner and staff are super friendly and such a delight to talk to! Don’t miss out!

Popped in for a late lunch after visiting the Art Museum. What a pleasant surprise! This is a little gem of a place in the arts district. My date and I each ordered a glass of red and white wine and both were delicious! I had a Spanish white and he had a red from Oregon. So good. But the caprese prosciutto sandwiches were absolutely delicious! I’d definitely go back to this place. Very cool atmosphere & vibe. Super cute.

it’s 2021, a business with such good reviews must have updated working hours online. We were there last night at 7.30 PM and it was closed with barely legible hours written on the door. I wouldn’t know how good the gelato is because i never got to taste it. Will probably try to plan another trip (when true hours are posted) since I drive 30+ mins to get to downtown.

  • Lily B

Incredible. Both the food and gelato is wonderful. I’ve never had anything I didn’t enjoy. I love that the gelato is made in-house and the flavors change regularly. There are some really creative ones. I’ve been to Italy a few times and it feels like I’m back when I’m here. Don’t stop at just the gelato though. Their sandwiches are heavenly.

  • Caryn Strober

I cannot tell you enough how much I love In Perfetto. Great food, great gelato, great customer service! Tara and Ramona are who keep me coming back. I love to bring my dog for a coffee or mimosa. Both treat her so well! I love the relaxed atmosphere and great vibes! Keep up the great work guys. We love you!!!

Went for great gelato, got great gelato. Customer service was great as well. Thank you. Now open for breakfast, so glad Press left the building. Fantastic omelettes, great bread, cheese, sweets, coffee, LavAzza Italian espresso, and more!

  • brian perez

Service alone was worth the stop for a yummy cold treat. I asked for a small size but she totally hooked it up with a bigger portion because it was all they had left of the cookies and cream. Really solid flavors, really yummy. Thanks.

Went here after picking up pizza at Forno. They are "family" how close friends are. It was their soft opening and the owner was incredibly nice and we had a good conversation about soccer and Italy. Gelato was great too. Will be back.

  • Cody Steele

Almost always get the chicken wrap. It’s always delicious and fresh. When I try something new, or get gelato I’m never disappointed. The staff is super friendly and it’s really close to the Art Museum and Phoenix Theatre.

  • Jeff Aspland

The gelato was delicious, tried three flavors and that made it very difficult to choose. I ended up getting Italian cookie. I added espresso and the flavor was life changing. This opened a new door of dessert for me!

  • Jay

This places was very satisfying. The breakfast was delicious. Got the breakfast burrito and a open face sandwich. All the toppings were fresh. Romona the host was very funny and personable. Would definitely come back

  • Ythan Pratt

Excellent sandwiches, to die for gelatto, and a really fun downtown location. The plates come with a salad and the presentation is as wonderful as the flavor. The staff is so friendly and awesome too!

Fabulous gelato, charming small seating area, pastries looked yummy. The hazelnut gelato tastes like Italy in a cup.

What's not to love? In Perfetto and Forno next door are owned by an Italian family who will provide you true Italian hospitality! Love that I can walk here on my lunch break!
