We dare anyone to disagree with the fact that life is already sweet when you are in Hawaii, and especially when you are in Waikiki.
So how could life be any sweeter? We’re glad you asked. Here’s how to get your just desserts in Waikiki.
FRESH IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

| Il Gelato’s 7th location on Oahu opened February 26 at Waikiki Beach Walk. |
|
Il Gelato is Waikiki Beach Walk’s newest culinary addition, and it has a very simple, official mission: to make people happy.
And the way they do it is also very simple, by serving great tasting and all-natural gelato with a big smile. (Their mission also includes excellence on every level, which is not exactly simple, but it is pure, like their gelato).
So for those adhering to a healthful eating regimen, either from January 1
st or in general, this is the place for you. They pride themselves on their award-winning, authentic recipes that is made with great passion to support a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
First of all, their gelato contains much less sugar and fat than ice cream. But that’s not all. Their artisan gelato is “all natural,” made fresh daily with only the finest ingredients grown locally. For any ingredient not found locally, they go for the best sources in Italy or around the world (this is getting further and further away from “simple.”)
They are dedicated to the true artisan, handcrafted gelato the way it is done by the finest gelato masters in Italy. They employ their own recipes, original Italian gelato equipment, and authentic traditional Italian processes.
Il Gelato is made with certified and environmentally friendly production processes, using environmentally safe products wherever possible, and minimizing energy consumption.
In other words, their gelato is very, very good, and very, very good for you and the planet! Simple.
