🇮🇹 Venice Favorites
Venchi Chocolate & Gelato
📍Near Rialto Bridge
Smooth textures, deep chocolate flavors, and a brand our girls now recognize on sight.
Kid pick: Stracciatella with chocolate drizzle
Parent pick: Pistachio + dark chocolate
Murano Gelato
📍Murano Island, post-glass workshop
After a jewelry-making workshop at Ferro Toso, we found this quiet local shop. Not flashy, just fresh and flavorful.
🇮🇹 Florence Favorite
🌿 Edoardo Gelato
📍Across from the Duomo
100% organic with rotating seasonal flavors. The strawberry and chocolate mix was unforgettable.
🇮🇹 Lucca Highlight
🏛 Gelateria Anfiteatro
📍Piazza dell’Anfiteatro
Tucked into one of the most charming piazzas we visited. Also had amazing fruit bars which were a perfect mid-walk treat.
🇮🇹 Rome Rankings
🥇 Frigidarium
📍Near Piazza Navona
Chocolate-dipped scoops with hard shell topping, incredible flavors, and super affordable.
Essentia Gelato
📍Near Trevi Fountain
Artisan flavors and creamy texture. A hidden gem.
💕 Amorino Gelato
📍Near Trevi Fountain
Rose-shaped scoops with macaron toppers. Tourist-heavy, but totally worth it.
❌ Gold Ice
📍Rome
Our only letdown and only one my kids did not finish (which is unusual). Not super friendly staff which was unusual. Artificial flavor.
💡 Tips for Spotting Good Gelato
- Avoid high, fluffy piles—real gelato is stored flat and chilled.
- Go for muted colors (pistachio should look natural). Mint should look white, not bright green.
- Seasonal fruit flavors = a great sign
