A chocolate lover’s paradise right in the heart of Venice. The shop smells incredible the moment you walk in, and everything looks like it’s been crafted with care — from the pralines to the spreads. We spent around €42 on assorted chocolates and a jar of “chocolate cream,” and it felt worth every euro. They also treat new customers to a free chocolate and give discounts for future visits, which is such a nice touch. Elegant, generous, and full of that Italian sweetness done right.
I ordered classic gelato (no topping) in cup with dark chocolate and pistachio. I would say pistachio gelato is the best i’ve ever have so far. The taste of pistachio is strong but it would be 10 out of 10 if it has less sweet in it. I also went back to Milano and ordered pistachio again since it was sooooo good. The panacotta one is also good. Recommended!
A chain I would normally avoid when choosing somewhere, but. The 4.8 score vs 6k+ reviews I felt I should try it. It did not disappoint, I think it’s the nicest ice cream I ever had. Get something with chocolate.
Delicious gelato! Best I've had in Venice so far! And they we're open after 9pm, which was surprisingly hard to find. I had the Brutto e Buono flavor (chocolate and hazelnut). The chocolate dip on the cone was warm and amazing. Definitely recommend!
Delicious gelato. Apparently one of the best around. Small is around 3€ and large around 6€
There was only one pastry shop, a small chocolate shop - and we had to pay for the gelato ourselves. So there was an extra expense. Stupid
Valerio was our guide for this tour. I would say he was the best guide we have had in Venice. His knowledge and humour were fantastic. The food was great and we explored places we would never have found on our own.
This was the second tour we did with our guide Valerio and we were very enthusiastic about this tour as well. Bakery and ice cream parlor everything tasted good, especially the cafe.
Valerio was amazing. Communication before the tour was excellent. We arrived with two energetic children and my grandson was immediately drawn to Valerio, because he was so kind and empathetic. Besides educating us about the places we visited, we also learned many other interesting facts during our time together. This was a perfect morning activity for small children, but we adults also had a wonderful time. Recommend highly.
Traditional cafés and pastry shops in Venice - that was the name of our city tour, which we undertook with the extremely personable city guide VALERIO. The tour was entertaining, very informative and on our way, which Valerio chose as far as possible off the beaten track, we learned a lot about Venice, not just about coffee houses. Thank you Valerio for this nice afternoon.
