I love a good gelato, and this place definitely lived up to the hype! Now I understand why there's almost always a line. The shop has such a cute vibe and is the perfect spot to grab dessert after lunch or dinner , or honestly anytime you're craving something sweet. The only downside is that indoor seating is pretty limited. They do have a few tables outside, but if it's busy, you might have to enjoy your gelato while taking a little stroll. The gelato itself was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious! I do wish they had a few more sorbet flavors to choose from, but the selection they did have was still fantastic. A huge shoutout to Tobi for making our visit even better! They were so friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They took the time to explain the popular flavors and let us sample until we found the perfect one. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure customers leave happy, and that kind of service really stands out. I can already tell I'm going to become a regular because I need to come back and try all the other flavors. Thank you, Bacio Di Latte, for such a sweet experience .. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Wow. I don't usually care for gelato because it has never felt like that much of a difference between that and ice cream. This spot though was different. The scoops are so light/almost airy (?) and the flavors are so intense!! There's also no limit to samples!! I got the tres leches and it was great!! Would definitely come back!! It's opening in HB sooon read more

Bacio Di Latte - Tres leches - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

Came in on a Friday night and thought the ambiance was cute. Gives an Italian vibe. Flavors were delicious. Loved that they allow you to try flavors before deciding. My favorite is the raspberry tart and the chocolate pistachio! I definitely will still need to try the rest of the flavors. As for service, they are friendly, although I was taken back as we asked for a regular three flavor but was given a piccolo size and charged for the regular. The cashier put declined for a receipt and the total price was $18. I noticed this when I asked for a cap for my regular cup and he kept giving me a cap that didn't fit and saw then it was a piccolo (small) that we were given. We couldn't ask for an adjustment as we didn't have a receipt and didn't want to wait back in line. This was our first time so lesson learned. I will be removing a star due to that mishap. Everyone just watch out and make sure you're getting the right size for the right price!! read more

Oh. My. Gosh. This was our first time here after walking passed it a million times. The gelato was so beautiful and tasted just as it looked AMAZING. They allowed us to sample whatever we wanted, I landed on Strawberry cheesecake and salted Carmel. We also got a peanut butter Carmel something. I can do peanuts but my BF was in heaven. We'll be back probably every time we are at the Spectrum. The staff was super sweet (no pun intended) the shoppe was crisp and clean. read more

Incredible gelato made with quality ingredients you can taste. All of the flavors are delicious and very satisfying. The gelato is on the pricier side but worth it for the quality. They have cups, sugar cones, and waffle cones, and 1, 2, or 3 scoops. Staff are very friendly and the interior is beautifully decorated and clean. read more

I've heard rave reviews from my friends regarding this amazing gelato shop. We actually made it a point to stop here before we headed back to SD. To be honest, I thought, what's the big deal? First of all, I love the concept of flavored lined cups either with or without nuts. There are two flavor coatings to choose from, which are Nutella or Pistachio. Both my favorite flavors. After much deliberation, I chose pistachio with nuts to line the cup. As far as gelato flavors, I got Pistachio and Nutella (of course lol). Super creamy and full of flavor, it's no wonder that my friends rave about this place! There was a line so, unfortunately, I didn't really get to try barely anything since I didn't want to hold up the line. I did like that there were some outside seating and the decor is very classy and modern. Employees were friendly and helpful. I just saw they have a location in SD! I'll check that out soon and try some different flavors. With the weather hot, it's the perfect time to try some amazing gelato! read more

If you ever come across a Bacio, go in. Every single time I've visited regardless of the location - it's been a hit! The gelato is SO creamy. The first time I've ever visited, the pistachio was AMAZING. It was the perfect amount of sweetness & really craved my sweet tooth. You won't regret it, worth every single penny! read more

Was so excited to hear that Bacio di Latte opened up closer to me at the Spectrum! Loved the one at Fashion Island, and they pretty much have the same rich, creamy gelato! I will say the Spectrum one feels like you get less gelato for the price and the line was much longer, but can't complain much- the gelato is simply amazing. I'm a mint chip loyalist so I always have to get it, also got the stracciatella and tiramisu though. Recommend all of them! read more

It's a great spot for gelato. We tried the pistachio, mint, and 3 chocolate flavors. The texture was very creamy, though a bit too sweet for my taste. Still, it was a nice treat overall. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other flavors. read more

I've been to the Newport location before so I had to come to this one too. This spot has both indoor and outside seating. There was no line to order and they let you try different flavors. I got the yogurt and strawberry sorbet and it was a good combo. Another favorite is the cookies n cream. They have so many flavors to choose from. I love how they have seasonal flavors and change it up. Overall, the best gelato spot in OC so far. I would come back again. read more

The gelato and pastries here are amazing, rich, and delicious. Everything on the menu is mouth watering. I got it for delivery, and yet the gelato was still cold and not melting. I'll definitely try and go to the location. Now let's talk about the yummy treats. Cinnadoodle: The Cinnadoodle was chewy and soft. It had a cinnamon sugar topping and a hint of nutmeg. If you take it home, I recommend popping it in the microwave for about 10 seconds so it tastes warm and extra soft. Oatmeal Lace with Maple Buttercream: This was my absolute favorite thing. I love me a crispy texture cookie. So this is why it's my favorite. The buttercream filling was delicious, not too sweet. It was balanced. So it isn't overpowering. Pecan Pie Bar: It is a rich, buttery crust topped with a layer of sweet, gooey caramelized pecans. This was also delicious. The texture of the brown sugar and caramelized pecans is a great combination. I did feel it had no balance. It was too sweet, but hey, it was delicious. Lasty, I had the Amici. The amici servers 3 to 4 people. I got fragola super latte - strawberry and sweet cream, tiramisu-double mascarpone and cherry yogurt. All these gelatos were amazingly good. My favorite though was the strawberry and sweet cream tiramisu. They have a lot of vegan options of gelatos. I would definitely try it again and recommend it. read more

Excellent gelato! This location is at the Irvine Spectrum next to the movie theater. They had a couple dozen flavors. It was a tough choice but I picked two scoops in a cup - salted caramel and vanilla & caramel. As the only customer in the shop, the woman working had her back to me as I entered and seemed a tiny bit annoyed once she realized I was there. She then quietly and quickly scooped my two scoops into a tiny cup. They have some tables indoors and very nice patio seating in front of the store. I sat outside and really enjoyed the gelato; it was so creamy and incredibly delicious. The salted caramel had just the right amount of saltiness and the vanilla & caramel had a silky swirl of vanilla. Even though the quality of the gelato is exceptional, the price is quite high for the amount you get, but they gotta pay that excessive Irvine Company rent. read more

This was our first time here. There was a line but it went by quickly. My son is allergic to dairy and they had vegan options. They provide samples so that was helpful in deciding what flavors we liked. Although pricey the portion size is decent considering how creamy and sweet it is. I went with strawberry cheesecake and pretzel flavor. This was definitely a treat. read more

Definitely a place worth stopping by, especially with friendly service like this. read more

Staff is friendly and they will let you sample as much as you'd like. It was love at first bite! So creamy and delicious. You can base your cup or cone with Nutella or Pistachio. Ended up getting a cup with a Nutella base with strawberry cheesecake and the hazelnut chocolate. Such an explosion in your mouth. Definitely a must try! read more

I went here twice in the same week as I've been trying to catch up with friends during winter break. I'm so glad Bacio Di Latte has come to Irvine Spectrum. The gelato is so delicious. The texture is not heavy rather creamy and light. Each spoonful is well worth the price compared to most other desserts that I can think of. There are so many flavors as well. I half joked with my friend that the whole atmosphere reminds me of my ideal cafe to study in. Everything is well kept. Service is kind and direct. read more

From the moment you walk in, you can tell that the gelato is going to taste amazing because you can smell the fresh cones, coffee, and sweetness. Came in the afternoon on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. The girl that helped us was very friendly and let us try lots of samples to see what we wanted. She gave her recommendations and opinions on popular flavors which helped us decide. Gelato is on the pricier side but it makes sense because the quality is amazing and it tastes so smooth. Definitely recommend as a sweet treat! read more

I can't believe there's a bacio di latte at the spectrum! I tried this for the first time at the Newport location and really enjoyed it. I was only passing by and noticed this shop so I knew I had to go in and try. Perhaps I don't remember it but I was surprised to see a coffee menu plus special menus. The gelato is delicious but the one downside is the price. It's almost $8 for a mini. I wish it was cheaper. The serving size in the mini is perfect for a quick treat and it won't be like an over indulgence at all. read more

Love having a Bacio Di Latte closer to us. The line was long on a Sunday night but it moved quickly. This location is clean and beautifully designed. Staff was friendly and helpful as we had some allergy inquiries. Their flavors are always on point and delightful. I love that there are not a bazillion options to choose from. I thought the portion is just right (I always opted for a small cup), though the price is quite high (but that's Irvine pricing for you). Overall, family had a good time enjoying gelato while having a stroll at the mall. read more

Bacio Di Latte is a gelato spot in the Irvine Spectrum. Came here with some friends after dinner on a weeknight. It's light, bright, and modern inside, and smells like freshly baked waffle cones. There are a lot of different cone and cup options to choose from as well as many flavors of gelato. We were given the option to sample some flavors, which is always nice. I ordered a Piccolo Cup with a Pistachio Cream base and Tiramisu gelato. The bases are a unique option and everyone gets a choice of Nutella or Pistachio Cream. The Pistachio Cream is rich and smooth with a strong pistachio flavor. The Tiramisu gelato had a good texture and tasted more like marscapone than coffee. Overall, giving Bacio Di Latte a 4/5. The store is clean with a few tables inside but plenty of tables outside. We were not greeted upon walking in but the staff were patient in giving samples and answering our questions on the flavors. There are a lot of flavors to choose from and it's nice that samples are provided before having to choose a flavor. I sampled 3 or 4 flavors and they were all solid, although some had creamier and smoother textures than others. Prices are pretty high. For 3 Piccolo Cups, it was about $29 not including tip. Might be back if craving gelato, but otherwise will go to other places. read more

Ever since my positive, unplanned stop at the Fashion Island location, I've been craving this gelato. How convenient that we now have a Bacio di Latte in Irvine! The shop is bright and cheerful, offering limited but cute seating options inside their comfortably air-conditioned shop (a few 2-person tables with padded chairs parallel to their display case; along the front window, counter-height seating with stylish bar stools that have the proper height ratio on one side; and milk can stools -- my thoughts, too short -- for the taller counter on the other side). Outside seating consists of a few tables right outside the shop, as well as a variety of options throughout the shared common areas. My piccolo size (allowing 2 flavors) was delightfully satisfying; again, I selected their (regular) Pistachio (a favorite -- smooth, creamy, and not too sweet) and Buttercream Pretzel (nice balance of sweet and salty). Given the cost, allowing myself this luxury occasionally is a nice treat (hubby annoyingly notes that the cup's raised bottom reduces its capacity). I'm torn with my rating; 5-stars based on my enjoyment of my gelato and being able to comfortably enjoy my treat seated inside their cutely decorated shop; deduction for the service by our particular person (who didn't display any positive energy -- not even a smile; it was the positivity exuded by the employee that ultimately convinced me to make a purchase at Fashion Island's location). read more
