About

Gelato 101 is a beloved coastal comfort spot at 480 S Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas, CA, rooted in a story that began at Seattle's Pike Place Market in 2003 when Italian natives Luca Guerrieri, Antonella Ragazzi, and David Arato opened the doors to Bottega Italiana. The menu spans creamy gelatos, boba, and gelato coffee, with fan favorites like cinnamon, yogurt, strawberry, and panna cotta flavors drawing regulars back again and again. The casual, cozy atmosphere makes it an easy stop straight from the beach. Guests rate it among the top gelato destinations in San Diego.
