Gelatissimo Bus is one of Palm Beach’s most beloved sweet stops β a vintage VW-style bus parked in Gianni’s Plaza on JE Irausquin Boulevard, scooping fresh authentic Italian gelato right on the strip. With over 800 five-star reviews and a near-perfect rating, it’s become a Palm Beach institution and a near-mandatory after-dinner ritual for visitors and locals alike.
About Gelatissimo Bus Aruba
The bus operates as a walk-up window β order, watch your gelato scooped, and enjoy it on the plaza. Flavors rotate with daily small-batch production: pistachio, hazelnut, stracciatella, dark chocolate, fresh strawberry, mango, and creative seasonal options. Vegan and dairy-free sorbet options are typically available. Perfect after a meal at Gianni’s Italian, Patrizia’s, Vue Rooftop, or any of the Cove restaurants nearby β the location is genuinely walkable from most of Palm Beach.
Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights
Pistachio is the runaway favorite β properly nutty, not too sweet, with the unmistakable green-grey color of real Sicilian pistachios (not the artificial neon green). Dark chocolate, hazelnut, and stracciatella are the other top picks. Try a two-flavor cup or cone to sample. Service is fast even with a line, and prices are very fair for Palm Beach.
