Located next to The Alley by the Regal side of Irvine Spectrum, Bacio did Latte has a beautifully decorated interior for a gelato spot. There's a few tables inside and a small bar area, and some seating outside but otherwise isn't large enough for a hangout spot. And rightfully so as it would likely ruin the atmosphere. Wide variety of rich gelato flavors that you can taste test. Tried the affogato which was very smooth. Only thing is I wish it was served in a slightly wider cup. The scoop of gelato fills the entire surface and the espresso sat completely underneath. Could use a better presentation as it looks like gelato on top of espresso rather gelato drowned in espresso. Still good nonetheless. read more

A cute attractive place. Clean and inviting. There is always a long line but well worth it. Always looks fresh... cant ever leave without the Oatmeal Cookie! Sinfully good ... but I need to be open to try the rest. It's good you can taste test the flavors. A refreshing place to enjoy Gelato. read more

I was part of a select group of tastemakers to try out this new location at the Irvine Spectrum! James and the manager, Arturo, took excellent care of us and provided us with samples and smiles! Every flavor we tried was pure heaven. I really enjoyed the strawberry sorbet, pistachio mousse and the greek yogurt flavors! They have insulated bags for pints if you want to take one home and I promise they actually keep them frozen for hours! We will absolutely be back when we return to the Spectrum. read more

They offered variety of flavors for gelatos. Too many options to try but decided to get Tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake flavors. It was super delicious!! One of the best gelato place we've been to. We also ordered Affogato with pistachio ice cream and it was great. The coffee was strong and good. One of the best Affogato we've had. There were a lot of servers helping people in line. The line can be long but it was quick for my turn. The servers were friendly and patience. There was plenty of seating outside. It can be crowded inside with the line. read more

I'm sooo happy Bacio Di Latte opened at the spectrum. The space is absolutely beautiful and bigger than the fashion island location. I loved that there was seating inside as well. Friendly staff who happily gave us samples. I'm also happy that we can choose 2 flavors for the smallest size. I got pistachio and strawberry cheesecake. I also tried my friend's lemon and raspberry which was honestly the perfect combo. I can't wait to be back. read more

I love ice cream, but I've never liked gelato until I set foot into this wonderful location. I've now made it a goal to recommend this place every time I'm in the spectrum center either for personal outings or a work dinner. Staff is friendly and the line goes by quickly even when it's super busy. Even on busy days you can find seating indoors or outdoors to enjoy your treat. Make sure to try the 3 chocolate and crema Torino gelato. If you like pistachio their pistachio cream is a must. read more

I usually don't go for gelato, but I heard that this place was one of the best and just opened up at Irvine Spectrum. We decided to give it a try before heading out for the night. The line was pretty decent length, and it took fairly a while to get through. When we got to the front of the line, the employees were very kind about samples. Everything looked so good, we ended up trying about 4 different flavors or so. All were really good, but I opted in for the Sweet Cream and the Salted Caramel flavors. These were so delicious. It was not overly sweet and the perfect texture. Sometimes I get gelato and it's a bit too melty for me. However, this was perfectly smooth and creamy. Since my initial visit, I have been telling so many friends about this place. Will definitely be back to try more flavors or to even get the same flavors again! read more

We were lucky to get here before the line got too long but it can definitely get packed so be mindful! The gelato was soooo fresh. We got a delicious combo of strawberry and Nutella. I love how fresh everything was - you could taste the bits of strawberry seeds and hazelnut shell that added some texture. It's a small space inside and only a few tables outside but it's the spectrum so you'll definitely find a spot somewhere! Will be back read more

FINALLYYYYY my fav gelato place opened in irvine !!!! such creamy and rich flavors. my favorite is the raspberry sorbet. i've taken so many of my friends and family here, and they all love it. the interior always makes you feel like you're in italy read more

We came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was a line out the door. As we made our way in, we realized there was ONE girl working behind the counter. I wish I remembered her name - I believe it was Evelene (or something similar) and my gosh, was she so sweet. She managed the line with such grace, never being flustered, staying patient and remaining so calm, even when people were getting testy about the wait. I was so impressed with her - I know at her age I would not have handled the situation nearly as well. She deserves a big thank you from patrons and leadership!! read more

So me and my wife and kids go to get some gelato ,there after the cheese cake factory . We were so excited my kids were looking through the glass patiently as the line was quite long. it was a Tuesday night at like 830 pm on February 3rd and then this happened they're was a girl working behind the counter and then male who must have been the manager so we are waiting patiently and it's our turn the guy didn't even greet us for one neither did the female She was busy with the customer in front of us so the guy then takes the family behind us we naturally move foward the girls finished her customer then proceeds to take the customer behind the customer tjey was behind us !!! again didn't ask but proceeds to take the person behind the person that was behind us so we are at the desk to pay but have not gotten to even order ice cream so then we order when been in line now for over 20 mins patiently waiting I asked the girl if I could have some topping on my ice cream since I order the strawberry cheese cake but I really think she was mad becuase we were holding the line up which was not our fault I was walking to pay and accidentally dropped my ice cream and after waiting for 20 mins and being completely I'm stressed and embarrassed about my experencie my wife cleaned up the ice cream and said hey it's ok we pay for it it's are fault so I said I did not want the ice cream that I was ok with not eating it but was more than happy to pay for it even the people behind us confirmed we did drop the ice cream the man offered to pay for the order on the house we refused becuase it was not there fault we dropped it so for some reason the girl that work there told the man that I threw the ice cream at her and asked my children to give them the ice cream back and ask it's us to leave his store even tho the people behind us said it was indeed a accident we cleaned it our selfs and was willing to pay even tho we did not ask for a replace ment and we're asked to give the ice cream back out of my kids hands that they were eating and asked is to leave I'm more than embarrassed I'm appalled and I would like a manager to call me back asap and I will be calling the general manager of their store since this is the first and last time I will ever go to there establishment maybe you should treat your employees to be kind to the guest it's not that hard and it really made me my family Feel very unwanted and disespected in every way please call me at (562) 615-1100. Ryan Nicosia I will be reaching out to all coprpate and general managers of this location I'm completely disgusted by the way we were tested like scum read more

I love this place, its my best ice cream spot. The place deserves 5 start, but just because the worker Mariam I deducted 2 points. I kind of feel like she treats costumers by their look. It was a third time i got treated like a trash. But not just me, I paid attention to her while i was eating ice cream outside, it was same. read more

They just recently opened this location & sometimes you can luck out on a weekday with a small wait. Weekends the lines can get loooooooong, so keep that in mind. (No fast pass lol.) It smells so good inside, warm waffles & coffee--it's like being in a Bath & Body Works candle, but better. I wouldn't recommend treating your whole family as a one scoop waffle clone can run you almost $10 each. Yeah, EACH. But, if you're feeling bougie or you got that bonus check, live it up. It's definitely worth indulging with unique flavors like pretzel buttercream & pistachio mousse. You can get samples people, I shamelessly asked for a couple before deciding on the coffee & caramel. It's not overly sweet like an Amurrrrican style ice cream. Service is fine, nothing crazy. They also have affogato's which I'll be trying....on my next bonus check lol read more

Absolutely delicious! I got their tiramisu flavored gelato in a waffle cone and it was worth every bite and calories. Needed it for a hot day in OC. Cute interior. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Staff quite friendly. They have several different flavors to choose from. Will be back here again! A bit pricey gelato at this store but it is a nice treat. read more

One waffle bowl dipped in pistachio cream, one scoop of pistachio mousse, one scoop of hazelnut experience, and one scoop of pistachio chocolate... pure happiness. This ice cream is so rich, so smooth -- every scoop feels like it's made with love. Walking into Bacio di Latte is like stepping into my childhood; the smell alone is happiness. The vibe, the music, the kindness of the staff, and the excellent customer service make it such a special place. I go there a few times a week with my kids -- it's our favorite spot to bond and enjoy time together. It can get pricey (my bank account just says "Dolores, Dolores, Dolores" ), but it's absolutely worth it for the quality and experience. I used to drive all the way to Newport just for it, but now that they've opened at Irvine Spectrum, it's so much easier -- and so tempting! This is hands-down my favorite ice cream in the world, and I've told so many friends about it. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! And if the owner ever sees this -- I'd be more than happy to accept a gift card . If you haven't tried it yet, you're truly missing out. read more

The flavors at Bacio are always so consistently delicious. This location was super busy but we were able to get our tasting in in about 25 minutes. This new location is bigger than the one in Newport but you wouldn't be able to tell because it is so busy! read more

Had no idea this place existed but when you see lines going out the door well into the evening, you begin to wonder if their gelato is that good. And yes, it is that good. So much so I couldn't snap a photo because my gelato was gone. Staff are friendly and service was great. They offer samples but I ended up getting Crema Torino. If you love hazelnut, you'll love this. They had nice decor which made the experience even more appealing! We'll be back! read more

I was so excited to learn that Bacio di Latte opened up in Irvine Spectrum! The interior is quite the same as the other locations: clean, modern, sleek, yet still cozy. Service was a little slow, but understandable because there was a long line and new staff. Totally worth it in my opinion, I would wait an hour in line for this gelato. They have a new flavor strawberry cheesecake that was insanely good, but I had to go with my usual trifecta of flavors - 3 ciocolatti, bacio di latte (sweet cream), and nocciola (hazelnut). read more

This is my new favorite Gelato place. It is sweet creamy and rich, you don't need to order a big serving to enjoy! Better than my longtime favorite in Laguna Beach.. read more

Gelato heaven. Better than Laguna Beach. If you're a gelato lover, run to BACIO DI LATTE at Irvine Spectrum. I had a scoop of pistachio and peanut butter with salted caramel and honestly, it was to die for. Creamy, decadent and bursting with flavor. Every bite, felt like a little escape to Italy. The texture was silky smooth, the sweetness, perfectly balanced and the flavors way more intense and luxurious than the gelato I've had in Laguna Beach and that saying something. I'll absolutely be coming back. This place just raised the gelato bar. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

High-quality, fancy gelato! Everyone I know seems to love this place and I can somewhat understand why. The aroma is super intoxicating, as you can smell the fresh waffle cones from outside! Unfortunately, the pricing is pretty outrageous. A kid's teeny tiny little scoop in a cup costs $6, which just seems insane compared to other comparable dessert shops. I understand gelato is more dense than ice cream, but our family personally still prefers the latter over the former. read more

I have visited other branches before. But one employee changes your whole perspective. They can make you happy by asking the right questions and making the right suggestions. Thank you Mackenzie, I hope we can find more people like you who care about customer satisfaction. My favorite is the crunchy pistachio and hazelnut ice cream. read more

Best gelato i've ever had! I got the greek yogurt and strawberry shortcake flavors. Uriel was wonderful and elevated the experience so much with his kindness, patience, and energy! Thank you so much! read more

Try it. Prefer the OG location in Fashion Island but there is more seating here on the cold days/nights albeit only 4x 2 person table tops and then individual window stool seating. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Menu as of Feb 8 2025 - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

really yummy and creamy gelato! lots of flavors and very kind staff! not much available seating inside. i think it's definitely worth to try at least once but not when there's a long line, but depending on the day/time you can walk in without waiting. it is also pretty steep of a price for the amount of ice cream you get compared to other gelato places. my friends ordered 3 flavors but it was not worth it when they squish 3 flavors into the same cup size as if you were to get 2 flavor. it would def be more worth it if you can get it in a bigger cup where you get at least an equal amount of flavors for the amount you pay for. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

Reminds me of Italy! The raspberry sorbet was delightfully refreshing and perfectly balanced the richness of the salted caramel and triple chocolate. The other 3-scoop combo -- Belgian chocolate, raspberry sorbet, and vanilla -- was a delicious mix of bold and classic flavors. The butter dulce was just okay in comparison, but overall a great experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, patiently letting us sample different flavors before deciding. We also really enjoyed the nice seating area -- cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing while enjoying our treats. read more

I'm not much of a dessert guy but one thing I do enjoy is gelato, but it's just rare to find good gelato. My friend took me to Bacio Di Latte and it exceeded my expectations!

This gelato spot in spectrum is to die for!! If you're a pistachio fan like me, this is absolute heaven. The pistachio gelato plus a pistachio dipped cone with real pistachios is the most immaculate treat I've ever had. No artificial tasting flavors and you can see the employees putting so much effort into handcrafting your gelato fresh for you. The line is always out the door on the weekends, but it moves fast and is worth the wait. Also a huge fan of the modern and bright white atmosphere. read more

I absolutely LOVE gelato and as soon as I heard this place was opening at Irvine spectrum, I had to immediately go and try. First off, the aesthetic of the store is absolutely gorgeous and so cute! I tried the pistachio mousse and I loved how it tasted exactly like an actual pistachio. It was also not too sweet which I loved. Pistachio is normally a hit or miss but this was definitely a HIT!! The gelato was also super smooth and rich. All the staff was super nice and the manager is super nice as well. They also offer samples before you select your choice and they have a variety of great flavors. I definitely will be coming back here again read more

I could not be more excited that Bacio di Latte has finally opened somewhere more convenient than the Fashion Island location. It fits the atmosphere of Irvine Spectrum so perfectly and is also considerably bigger. There is seating inside, but considering how crowded it is, it almost feels nicer to sit outside. There were a handful of tables outside but plenty of bench seating in the general area out front. Staff was friendly and very helpful despite the constant crowds. My favorite still has to be the pistachio mousse! I absolutely loved the bits and pieces of pistachio nestled within my cone. read more

I've been to the location at Fashion island as well and liked the gelato but this time, visiting the location at Irvine Spectrum, I enjoyed the gelato even more. We went on a weekday around mid- afternoon so the store was quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful and let my kids sample as many flavours as they wanted. The gelato is very rich a creamy so for me. The smallest size was plenty. The place is pretty pricey (smallest size which is quite small was nearly $8) but I feel as though the quality is there. The store is cute and clean and has a nice vibe with just a little bit of seating inside and outside. I really enjoyed the salted caramel and my husband's chocolate one tasted like a frozen chocolate mousse, which he loved. Our kids tried some of the fruity flavours which they also liked. They have the option to coat the inside of your cup or cone with either nutella & hazelnuts or pistachio cream and chopped pistachios, which is a nice option. My son got the Nutella option in his cone and it was delicious! We would definitely come back here but given the price, maybe not too often. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Salted Caramel & Chocolate gelato - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

Ask to see the allergy menu if you have allergies because the servers won't disclose that information to you. My friend is allergic to peanuts, but not hazelnuts. She asked the server explicitly when ordering the hazelnut flavor if there were any other nuts in it. She responded with "No, I don't think so," very dismissive and nonspecific; not doing anything to check if she was correct or not. My friend has an allergic reaction. As someone with allergies, we get that there is cross-contamination with gelato places, but we can tell if an allergic reaction is from a trace amount of allergen vs. it being a fundamental ingredient. We ask the same server if it's possible to know what was in the ingredients of the gelato, or if we could replace the cup with a different flavor because she paid for it and can't eat it. She pretends to not hear 3 times and then proceeds to say that everything is cross contaminated and that she can't do anything for the allergy, with a rude and dismissive attitude. After, I go back and ask a different worker to see the allergen menu for the flavors. I see that the hazelnut flavor gelato does actually have peanuts as a fundamental ingredient. read more
