I recently visited Paciugo Gelato and had such a great experience! The gelato flavors were absolutely incredible—rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. We ordered the palette, which I highly recommend. Even though the portions are a bit smaller, it actually turned out to be a huge plus because we got to try five different flavors, each in just the right amount. It’s the perfect option if you love variety and can’t decide on just one (which is definitely the case here because everything looks amazing). Every flavor we tried was delicious, smooth, and full of flavor. If you’re in St. Pete and craving something sweet, this spot is a must-visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Experience! Paciugo Gelato & Caffè, St. Petersburg, Fl was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding reception. We surprised our guests with a gelato cart featuring four incredibly delicious flavors, and it was a huge hit from the very first scoop! Even some of our hardest-to-please guests couldn’t stop raving, not just about how amazing the gelato tasted, but about how fun, unique, and unexpected it was to have this at a wedding. It truly elevated the entire reception and created such a memorable experience. Choosing just four flavors was honestly the hardest part. We wanted variety so everyone would find something they loved, but every single flavor was so tempting that narrowing it down felt impossible. If I’m being honest, I wanted every flavor there! If you’re looking for something special, crowd-pleasing, and completely unforgettable for an event, Paciugo Gelato & Caffè delivers in every way. Delicious, unique, and a total showstopper. We couldn’t recommend them more. 🍨✨

My favorite gelato place in St Petersburg. After spending a month in Italy American gelato was just not appealing. This is the one gelato shop I have found in St Petersburg that can give me the taste I am looking for. Not true Italian but as close as I can get in the area.

I ordered a Affogato and it came with three scoops of gelato (I chose the dolce de Leche, coffee, and vanilla), topped with 2 shots of hot espresso. It also came with fresh made whipped cream and a ginger cookie.

The gelato at paciugo gelato caffe is delicious and very fresh. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful they let you taste flavors you’re curious about, so no need to order blindly. Even if there’s a line, it’s totally worth the wait.
