THE best gelato in Bologna! Simple but unusual flavors. The quality of the pure gelato is just fabulous--try the simple fior di latte or panna and see what I mean.

Another great gelateria! It doesn't work by number of scoops in italy but size.. so you can still have a medium ice cream and 3 flavors!! All a good... the speciality is ice cream in a little bread... a bit decadent but delicious!

I don't know what else anyone could expect in a gelato. I think it lived up to it's reputation and I am surprised it is not #1 in Bologna. I had a mix of "Alice" and chocolate and the combination was incredible. I liked it so much I went back today for exactly the same. There is a great little... More

My wife and I were licking our lips in anticipation after the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor... only to find it closed! Fortunately it was opened the following day and provided the best gelato of our trip. Friendly staff, great flavours and the perfect treat during the Italian heatwave we found ourselves in.

After reading the ranking and reviews on Trip Advisor I felt like this was "must do" in Bologna. It was very good but I expected to be in orbit at first taste based on reviews. Don't get me wrong, definitely yummy, but just that. I feel like I should now visit other gelaterias to see if this was really "far... More

Amazing ice cream, you have probably read this sentiment already, but the best i have had. Selection is good and they have an english menu behind counter. There is a small park directly outside which was nice to sit and enjoy.. Everyone in the park had same idea. Scrummy... We will be going back there!

Was told about this on my first day in Bologna by a local, so as I was making my way to my B&B, I made a slight detour to find out what the fuss was about. The bright gleaming premises nearly had a queue out the door, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately they weren't taking card and only... More

Definitely one of the best gelaterias I've been to and the best we tried in Bologna. The flavours are quite experimental - my favourite was one made with pine nuts.

One of the best gelatos I have ever had. There was a line out the door but it went very fast. The staff was friendly and efficient.
