Maestro’s
Naming your gelato joint after the Italian word for “Master” could be considered a bold, daring, nervy … even audacious move.
But sample a scoop or two of the smooth-and-chilly delicacy at Maestro’s in Provo, and your skeptical attitude might start to melt away. (Pun intended.) With a myriad of flavors that include everything from watermelon to mascarpone, and yogurt to mango, it’s possible that Maestro’s serves up some of the best gelato this side of the Mississippi, if not Milan.
Sure, it lacks the luster of pretty Italian palazzos e fontanas, but Maestro’s has the streets of Provo, Utah looking quite magnifico. You can get a single scoop for $2.49 or a double scoop for $3.49. Every extra scoop up from there is about $1 more. You can even opt for a homemade waffle cone for 75 cents. Fancy hot chocolates are said to be coming soon, too. And we’ll probably need it.

When I was about 13 my family took a trip to Italy and I will never forget the cantaloupe gelato that I had there. It was AMAZING. Really it is one of the few things I actually remember about that trip. Does Maestro have cantaloupe flavor that you recall?

Doesn’t compare with European gelato (but nothing really does), although it is definitely quite good. A little pricey, but I love the cobblestone floor and the employees are soo nice. I think I tried every flavor.

I love Maestro’s. I keep taking people that have never been to it, just so I have an excuse to go! They have a seasonal flavor in right now, pumpkin, that you must mix with cinnamon! It is wonderful. My favorite flavors to date: nutella, mango and mascarpone. Everyone go!

great gelato, but the place should still be avoided as long as they use disposable PLASTIC cups. I moved here from Europe and every European gelato maker would be ashamed to contribute to the waste problem like that. We use recycled paper cups, hello: it’s 2007. It might look hip, but it is IRRESPOSIBLE.
