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

Magnifico

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

If you like Vego-bars (who doesn't) you might like Gianduia (chocolate hazelnot, with pieces of hazelnuts in it.😁

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.

Favorite ice cream place

They have vegan cones which is pretty seldom and a huge variety of uncommon ice cream flavors and not only the basic sorbet/dark chocolate stuff.

Pros: Vegan cones, Huge variety

BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM

We were in Bologna for a family wedding in May and I had done my research about where to go for gelato. Our expectation were completely exceeded! We tried loads of flavours including Mediterranean veg, wasabi, green tea, chocolate and curry and a chocolate and rum. Wow, the best gelato ever. Service really welcoming. My Italian cousin confessed before we left that she spent years getting gelato from here so there’s the real rating from an Italian!

Pros: Amazing flavours, Organic, Really Friendly service

Exciting flavours

Some really exciting flavours here, like lemon and basil, or chocolate and curry. I had two flavours that I hadn't spotten veganised anywhere else on my holiday: coconut, and mint choc chip. They were both really delicious. Service was friendly, and there are a few seats too.

Good ice cream but I expected more

The atmosphere in the shop was a bit cold, due to the neon light and lack of customers when I entered the shop at 6.30 pm. The street was a bit dark, not as colourful as others and there were no customers.

The staff was very friendly and explained me the symbols on the flavours (green = vegan).

I expected more flavours but I was satisfied with what I got. Due to a misunderstanding, I got 3 different kinds of ice cream in a little cup. I could try the different flavours but I wish, I had got more ;)

Be sure to choose a big cup if you want more ice cream.
The ice cream didn't melt too quickly and tasted good, especially 'gianduia'.

Pros: Some chairs would be nice., A warm light to give the place a welcoming atmosph, More fruit based kinds of flavours.

Cons: Some chairs to sit would be nice., A warm light to give the place a welcoming atmosph, More fruit based kinds of flavours. Coconut milk w

Amazing

I was shocked by the amount of vegan flavours, I think that 90% were vegan. I tried pistacchio and chocolate, both amazing, tasted like real Italian gelato. Service very nice. I totally recommend it!!
