Marco Polo is one of my favorite places to go for dessert in SF, hands down.
The gelato captivates my taste buds. No other gelato place possesses the same sort of consistency, save for maybe Dolce Spazzio in Los Gatos, and even theirs is not the same as Marco Polo's. It's almost like peanut butter, the way it reacts to a spoon once it has had a few minutes to melt.
The service is professional and courteous...always. I've never met a rude fellow working at Marco Polo all these years.
It's a little bit pricier, I'm guessing compared to just going to Baskin Robbins (I don't remember the exact prices on hand, but a pre-packed pint's like $5.50), but it is worth every penny to go there. I have to cut the review short here, but you must go if you haven't already!
Pros: easy parking, inexpensive, GREAT GELATO
Cons: not a date place, crowded at pop hours, closes early at 10pm
