Stefino is the best ice-creams shop I know in town and all over the world. I like its ice-creams because they are never fat, oily, or too sweet. The list of flavors is rather wide and I love the fact that they don't need to create a new flavor every week to spoil their customers. Both the fruits (my fav!),... More

I actually had his icecream in Cagliari but there is no way to review his Cagliari store (which is a newer one) and I imagine that the icecream must have similar quality at both locations. My family and I tried their icecream in June but I still haven't gotten over how good they were. And believe me, I live in... More

Stefino has among the best ice creams in town. It's a hole in the wall and people usually line up along the portico. My preferred flavor is mediterraneo (pistacchio, almonds..) followed by the chocolates (with rhum, with almonds and with sour cherries). Really worth a visit1

This was recommended to us by a local. What a find! The ice cream is fantastic and the granite so refreshing. It is marked on one of the maps you get at the tourist office and although you think you are walking into a not-great-neighbourhood, keep walking. The staff are really pleasant and give you time to struggle with the... More

The only problem with this icecream is that after you try this you'll never eat icecream anywhere else! My favourite flavors are "cream with lemon", "pistacchio" , "greek yoghurt". Also fruits flavour are fantastic. This is the number one "thing to do" if you're visiting Bologna

Amazing little gelateria with a medium sized range of ice creams, sorbets and granitas. Available in cones or tubs. Hard to pick a favourite - I went there virtually ever day in a week. Loved the Moro (choc & cherry) and the Greek yoghurt. Sophisticated flavours. One of the best Gelateria I have visited. If only they had a branch... More

Truly sensational gelati. They make it on site and you do see them. The chocolate is the best that I have ever tasted and combines wonderfully with so many of there other flavours - zabajone, raspberry and salted caramel just to name a few. We were in Bologna for 6 days and had 1-2 flavours on each of those 6... More

Please don't miss going to this amazing gelato store - not only was the gelato fantastic but the granites were a revelation. OMG- mandorle(almond) granita with ground up almonds was so fantastic I went back two more times. Also try the chocolate granita (dark and rich yet refreshing) and the coffee (high octane true espresso -wow). I will go back... More

Nice little place on the street, with delicious flavors (for instance mandarine, pear). We went there every evening after dinner. You can also order a small sample for 1€ (degustazione), very nice for those who just want to taste a flavor.

The gelato here is that rare thing that leaves you home, one year later, daydreaming about how amazingly delicious it was. Spectacular execution- well-sourced ingredients and creative flavors. Can't recommend highly enough.
