Yummy treat after a wonderful dinner at a restaurant nearby! This place is perfectly located, and reasonably priced. Lots of delicious offerings, not just gelato. There are house made ice cream sandwiches, and tiramisu cups sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. We enjoyed while strolling the lit canal on a beautiful evening. It’s the little things Perfection!

We had an ice cream sandwich and it was very tasty. It was vanilla ice cream and half of the sandwich was dipped in delicious chocolate.

Hands down one of my favourite moment in Venice - eating the best apple and cinnamon crepe in the pouring rain. The crepe was done to perfection and the gentleman assisting us was truly amazing helping us. Even the gelato was amazing. It was the best end to the Venice trip. I will seriously go back to Venice just for that experience again.

Gelato here is beautiful! Tastes fresh, is clearly hand made and was cheap! Would've happily paid more for what we had. 3 scoops between the 2 of us was €6. Lovely lady that served us with a smile. If ever in venice, go here :)

Great location a short walk from St Lucia train station. On a very hot and humid afternoon, this sweet and cool treat was what was needed. I tried passion fruit yoghurt with mango gelato in a cup! Amazing taste combinations. Maybe next time coconut as well!
