Inspection summary

Amore Mio has been inspected 5 times by Interior Health Authority since June 21, 2022. The most recent inspection, on February 27, 2026, recorded 3 infractions.

1 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Protecting food from contamination and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 27, 2026. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 27, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on February 27, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on June 21, 2022. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    The gelato is absolutely delicious here! The staff are so friendly and allow you try sample different flavours before buying one. The variety is excellent and there are some unique flavours like Lavender, Black Currant, and London Fog. Appreciated the outdoor seating and overall friendly and fun vibes from the store. We came back multiple times during our trip to Kelowna to trip different flavours.

  • Liza

    The ice cream and gelato here are fantastic, featuring some unique flavors! The black currant was particularly awesome. The coffee, matcha, and affogato were also very tasty. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There is a large indoor seating area, as well as some outdoor seating available. Strongly recommend!

  • Salim Khoso

    A very nice place with really good quality stuff. Their coffee is great and they look professional in preparing everything. I tried their croissant and it was very fresh. Moreover, I also once tried their ice cream which I found great and better when compared to other nearby ice cream places. The staff is very nice and friendly. Will surely stop by this place again.

  • Age Alex

    Their gelato is top notch! Such a great treat on a warm summer day or anytime really! The staff are so friendly too! I love when they have their window open to outside, it is so easy to order and keep walking along the waterfront during my lunch break!

  • Domenico Petrera

    Espresso and bomboloni, (donuts), like in Italy. Cakes and pastries are amazing with also a good gluten free selection. Tagliatelle alla bolognese like homemade, meat sauce buonissima. I had gnocchi because gluten free and were delicious. Pietro the owner and all the staff very friendly and kind. Highly recommended! Per gli italiani in Kelowna qui vi sentirete a casa per il caffè ed il cibo 🏆🏆🏆

    I love this Italian gelato place, the owner is Italian as well and the ice cream flavours are absolutely delicious. They are also very nice and will give you a couple samples if you are stuck between which flavour to get. I haven’t tried the food here yet, but the gelato is definitely worth it.

  • Laura McMurren

    A nice little spot to stop for gelato! We had a large chocolate and shared. There was a very nice feel to it during Meet Me on Bernard. It was quite busy but the servers were working hard to get everyone helped in a timely manner. Gelato was very good!

    Reply: Along with checking my review, I would have appreciated you checking my profile too that may prove that this is NO robot. Yes I have come to your shop after my 1st review as my kid insisted and always ordered single cone Gelato and not the character ones after the 1st experience I had with you but never updated the review. Your Gelatos are good however I believe you can do better! I got Sicilian kiss but there were almost none bits of pistachio. I don't know what you consider a nut based Gelato but if I am looking for a Gelato with nuts, I would want them to have real nut pieces. Moreover the size of the scoop is getting smaller compared to others in the market. You have increased the prices too I guess this summer. So overall nothing wowed me to change the rating. Also recently I was just updating the pic, not the review! Sharing pics was still getting you publicity. Hope this clarifies your doubt and just for you, I'll edit the review now and bring it a little up and remember, there is never a needless negativity. You should appreciate others suggestions or thoughts. Take the criticism positively! I ordered Pinocchio for my kid and it was horribly made as you can see. It wasn't even standing, such a poor presentation. Plus, I see 3 scoops in the pic however they gave only 2, less smarties too, why cheat? Also the cone was stale and stinky. How can you serve such food, especially to kids? Very disappointing!

    I’m vegetarian so I ordered the eggs and hash browns and the eggs tasted like bacon. I’m not sure if they were fried in the same pan or they used bacon grease to fry their eggs. Their hash browns were extremely greasy you can see it in the …

    Let’s just say I’ll come back here for the gelato. Man it was delicious. I had the coconut and salted caramel and they were both amazing. Before that I tried most of the flavors and man everything tasted great! Heard that the ice cream …
