Delightful

English spoken. Some of the vegan options are not labeled but the vegan coffee was labeled so be sure to ask. Dark chocolate was really rich and tasty.

Best chocolate ice cream I’ve had

They had six vegan options.
I had the hazelnut and the chocolate. Both incredibly delicious.
Four of the flavors had regular sugar and the two I got were sugar free.
The flavors were truly delicious.
I might go back for more of the same later today!

Delicious vegan icecream options 💓

Went here yesterday towards the end of the day & there were two clearly marked vegan icecream options, nocciola (hazelnut) and also coffee. They also have some berry/fruit icecream that are vegan (for these you have to ask which ones are vegan)! Plus they have vegan icecream cones, i saw the boxes piled up & also double checked with the staff & their "certo!" (of course) reply was great! It was one of the best icecream cones I've ever had, crunchy & yummy! For the flavours I had a scoop of the vegan nocciola (hazelnut) and a scoop of vegan lampone (raspberry) 🏵️ Loooove! So delicious!

Vegan Vanilla Gelato!

After eating fruit sorbet for all our holiday in italy I was so happy to find some vegan vanilla icecream. They also had vegan coffee icecream. It was amazing and very creamy.

Delicious vegan gelato in Bellagio

Lovely little place with friendly staff that were able to speak English. Many vegan options both days, but they were different each day. Tried the berry, vanilla, and strawberry - all delicious! Great location, too.

Tasty but limited options

Two vegan options available when I visited and both were very good. While options are limited they do have a Happy Cow sticker in the window and the vegan options were clearly labelled.

Enjoyable Gelato

Has a few vegan options, fairly good, but nothing extraordinary. Reasonably priced.

Pleasantly surprised!

Only two vegan flavours available. Both were nutty ones which I don’t usually go for but I was very happy as they turned out to be delicious. After a few days of vegan hell in Milan (seriously if I never eat a plain pizza with marinara on it again, it’ll be too soon) having two perfect, tasty scoops while sitting watching the world go by in the middle of Lake Como almost made up for it.

Pros: Tasty, Affordable

Cons: Only two flavours , Workers looked at me like I was a freak

Great range and vegan cones

This is a small ice cream parlor who are very familiar with vegana options, large range of really nice ice cream and fruit sorbets. Served in very crunchy cones

Pros: Delicious ice cream, Good range, Vegan cones

When we were here we had to ask which flavours were vegan because it was not clearly labeled. They had vegan vanilla and hazelnut, and of course all the fruit flavours. The cones are vegan as well! It was delicious.

Excellent vegan gelato

Very tasty vegan gelato! Pistachio, Matcha Tea and many of the friut flavours are vegan. Even the cones are vegan.
Vegan flavours are barely marked, you should ask the staff (speaks good english)

Pros: 1/3 of flavours are vegan, Vegan cone, Superb taste

Super yummy!

I really enjoyed my gelato from here! I got a scoop of Grapefruit- so yummy! Had almost like a sherbet flavour. I also tried Pistachio for the first time, which was quite nice. Would definitely return here for more.

Vegan options

Had 2 vegan flavours as well as the fruit ones which are vegan in pretty much all places, the vegan creamy options were hazelnut and matcha, they were really nice and the hazelnut was labelled vegan. The shop was a bit more expensive than most other ones we had been to and the the quality wasn’t as good but the only one we found that had vegan options that weren’t fruit so over all really good !

Pros: Labelled vegan options

Cons: Not all vegan options labelled , More expensive than other places

Long line for small selection of unlabeled sweet icecream

Not a very smooth operation. One-person operation with long line (20min wait) on a June mid-week hot afternoon. Vegan choices not labeled. Had vegan pistachio, pineapple, lemon, mango, and perhaps 2-3 others. No chocolate flavor. Icecream is quite sweet, would not buy again. There are half a dozen icecream shops in Bellagio. The one closer to the ferry (1min walk from this shop) also has some vegan choices.

Don’t think they have vegan ice cream

We just visited the shop (29/03/22) and the lovely assistant said the only thing that’s suitable for vegans is the sorbet. We asked about the ice creams on the stick and she said they have milk in them.

Sehr lecker, aber keine große Auswahl

For in a cup they only have fruit flavors but there is soja ice cream on a stick covered with caramel ore chocolate. That's really yummy.

Gutes Eis in Bellagio

Leckeres Eis. Es gibt aber nur vier vegane Eissorten; Zitrone, Erdbeere, Melone und Blaubeere.
Desweiteren gab es ein paar abgepackte Fertigeisprodukte.
