Refreshing and Delicious

We spent a week in Bologna and kept going back here almost every evening! So many vegan options. We especially liked the lemon basil gelato and the peach granite.

The best gelateria in Bologna

Without any doubt the best gelateria in Bologna, with A LOT of vegan options and seasonal flavors changing regularly. Some of them are quite unique too (matcha, wasabi…).

Amazing just amazing

So many different varieties of ice gream
The granite options
The ice cream with rice milk option
Or water base
Or normal milk base. All very different flavours.
One flavour which was out of the ,, norm'' was wasabi ice cream. Quite strong flavor.
I tried Granite and normal chocolate cherry very very good. Gonna return 😋😋

Pros: Many flavours, Vegan options

Yummy ice cream before taking the train!

Unlike other gelato places in Bologna it’s located right next to the train station. Delicious vegan ice creams and they have a terrace!

Huge selection of vegan flavours

Lovely gelato and lots of flavours to choose from. They have rice based flavours and water based. I chose melon and chocolate hazelnut with the rice based and it was really tasty.

Must try

Stopped here on a rainy day and it was fantastic to be able to sit inside and enjoy my gelato. The vegan menu is extensive and more options than the regular milk based. The flavors are creative! I tried the turmeric with cinnamon and pepper and it was fantastic! Out of all the gelaterias I’ve tried in bologna this is definitely the one I want to come back to!

Pros: Imaginative flavors, Indoor seating, Range of vegan flavors

The best ice cream I have ever had!

Honestly, their ice cream is out of this world. I think we visited 3 times during our long weekend trip🤣 my favourite flavour was cinnamon pear.

It’s What Flavour?!

Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. These are probably the standard when it comes ice cream flavours and probably what would come to mind first. How about wasabi? Or better yet, curry? Yes, that right curry flavoured gelato was on offer here and that is exactly what I got, and you know what? It was bloody fantastic! I paired it with the rather more conservative scoops of gianduja and mint chocolate and these were equally brilliant in their own classic way. I may have also sampled the cherry chocolate and the almond & hazelnut, but only for your benefit of course, and I can tell you that these too were excellent in both taste and texture. The cones weren’t half bad, too. That aforementioned wasabi will is in my sights, I will update accordingly.

UPDATE: No wasabi upon my return, but the chocolate chilli provided a nice alternative with a real kick of heat. The almond too was lovely and the matcha was potentially my favourite one from here.

Great vegan ice cream

I've been on the lookout for vegan pistachio ice cream for 10 years now. I found it today at Stefino, in their oddly named Mediterraneo Veg (pistachio and almond flavor), which I had along with Gianduia (chcoloate/hazelnut). both rice-milk based. The cones are apparently all vegan as well, though I decided not to fight through my rusty Italian for one (they were very polite about it, and probably spoke fluent English). In any case, very friendly, great flavors.

Pros: Great flavor, Friendly, Lots of vegan choices

Great ice cream!

Very friendly place with great ice cream. The vegan varieties also included - when I went there - a curry-themed flavour, which was certainly unusual, and I also had a vegan chocolate, which was also great. Generally speaking, a large number of vegan varieties.

Pros: Great vegan flavours

Excellent Vegan Ice-cream

I love this place. I used to came also before I went vegan. Now that I'm vegan they have lots of option. Not only the same fruit but also pistachio, chocolate. They change location and now they are near to the station. They have also vegan ice-cream cake

Pros: Good vegan option , Nice staff, Nice location

Cons: Expensive

Vegan's are welcome!

Beautiful gelateria not far from the centre of Bologna. Vegan (bio and gluten free) ice cream cones and biodegradable cups (and spoons). Has a wide choice of vegan flavors. Whipped cream is free, but made from cow-milk, of course.

Pros: Has vegan hot chocolate!

Cons: A little more expensive than normal ice-cream shop

Such good icecream! Chocolate-mint, nougat and many more are vegan.

Best gelato I've had in Italy!

I loved the gelato here and was happy to find some unique flavor options! I got the "Cuba" flavor (dark chocolate with sour cherries) and the "Curcuma" flavor (turmeric with cinnamon and black pepper) and both were delicious! They also made a great combination. I almost went back to try more since I was curious about their other vegan flavors. English menu with clear labels. Slightly more pricey than basic gelato places, but worth it and included vegan cone.

Updated from previous review on 2019-04-29

Pros: Unique flavor options, Clear labels, English menu

Cons: Slightly pricier than normal
