Panini, pizzas and gelato, OH MY! The Sassies recently had the pleasure of visiting San Gelato Café on SoDa Row in South Jordan, and what a scrumptious pleasure it was. Not only was the café warm, inviting and full of drool-inducing fare (sandwiches and soups and salads and smoothies), it is quite possibly the only café serving award-winning gelato in Utah.

The highlights:

• San Gelato Café on SoDa Row is the first franchise outside the café’s origins in Florida
• The café has been open only three months but is already a favorite among locals–and was hoppin’ at lunchtime last Saturday
• The menu offers coffee, sandwiches, panini, wraps, salads, pizza, smoothies and even a “bambino” menu
• San Gelato Café boasts 110 different flavors of gelato and sorbet
• The café’s artisan gelato, G.S. Gelato, has won one prestigious award (first in People’s Choice Awards for “Best in Show“) and was served at the recent National Italian American Foundation’s (NIAF) 34th Anniversary Awards Gala (that’s a room full of Italians, so your gelato better be the best)
• Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill serve gelato crafted by G.S. Gelato
• The café sources the bread for their sandwiches and panini from our very own Granatos downtown
• They have a Facebook fan page offering fans special deals and discounts all the time

Before the other Sassies arrived I had the opportunity to talk with Robert Avery, the manager of San Gelato Café. He filled me in on all the goodies listed above and a few other things like the possibility of future café locations in the valley and the fact that his wife owns the to-die-for boutique Oopsie Daisy located next door. (The Sassies are definitely going to review that boutique in the coming months!)

We reviewed San Gelato Café on a Thursday night and I was back again on Saturday with my two older girls to meet my sister for a late lunch and a little shopping next door. Yes, it was that good! Check out how much fun we had at this new South Jordan/Daybreak café:
