Authentic Italian gelato made with love. Clearly high quality ingredients. Alessandro (owner) was so friendly, and Milanesa (the corgi) was a delight to meet.

The lady working there was so nice when we asked for samples today! I loved their fior di latte flavor! Their ube flavor is also yummy with a strong purple sweet potato flavor.

These people are incredible and the Gelato is better than 99% of the Gelato I had in Italy. They opened during Covid and SURVIVED if that tells you anything. Both of them are wonderful humans and the Gelato is extraordinary. Plus they saved dogs from food markets overseas. Doesn't get much better. Please check them out.

Their vegan options brought us here, but I was wowed by their flavours. If it's still around, I recommend the white chocolate passionfruit. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Some outdoor seating as well.

This place was on my Want To Go list for a while and I’m glad I finally went today. The pistachio was great! There’s additional seating area in the back and the employees are extremely kind. FYI no bathrooms.

World class gelato and gluten free Italian desserts! Stopped by Ecco un Poco this weekend for gelato and loved the unique flavors this little but mighty shop offers. I got a scoop of olive oil rosemary and a scoop of hazelnut served in a gluten free cone. We sat in the quiet and serene back patio to eat our gelato. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the flavors delicious. This is a perfect dessert place. I cannot wait to try the gluten free tiramisu. Because of its location on 3rd, parking can be an issue but we were lucky and park right upfront. If you crave real Italian gelato, this is the spot for you!

Amazing authentic gelato with gluten free/vegan cones (with chocolate inside the bottom of the cone), vegan flavours, and all gluten free options. You can try up to 3 samples. The flavours are pretty unique and super creamy - even the vegan ones. It’s on the pricier side but thought it was worth it based on quality. Small patio in the back and seats out front of the shop as well.

One of the best ice cream in the US! We've tried hazelnut and pistachio. The flavors are so rich and gentle, just like in Italy. They also serve excellent espresso drinks. Highly recommended!

The hallmark of ecco un poco is their unwavering commitment to genuine, high-quality ingredients — a fact that loyal patrons like Darby Starling wholeheartedly appreciate. Each flavor sings with a purity and balance that reflects the artisanal care put into its creation. Standouts include the creamy fior di latte, which delivers a delicate milk flavor with silky texture, and the vibrant ube, capturing the full, earthy notes of purple sweet potato.

What makes this gelato shop truly special is its welcoming atmosphere.

Outdoor seating invites patrons to linger, savoring flavors like the recommended white chocolate passionfruit or the coveted pistachio, known for its nutty depth without artificial sweetness.
