    Tripe chocolate and cherry
    Jeff David G.

    What a great place! Ice cream places in the desert seem to be getting more and more expensive, so if you're going to pay for one, it definitely should be Bella's. The staff are so kind and you can feel how much joy it brings them to serve people their delicious gelato! Vintage dessert shop vibes with plenty of outdoor seating. A warning, however, that this is real gelato. Still incredible, but not as sweet and sugary as some of the typical ice cream you might expect. They make up for this with their rotating menu of fresh and seasonal flavors that have always delivered.

    Kahlua tiramisu

    Great customer service here from owner Elizabeth, who is so creative and does an excellent job of crafting fun flavors that taste familiar but are also unique. I've lived in the area for a while and never stopped in. I'm glad I did! I ended up taking a pint of 1/2 kahlua tiramisu and 1/2 apple pie! Absolutely Devine. Some reviewers have talked about the texture and I will say I thought it was perfect. It was smooth and creamy but also had that bite I expect from gelato. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors! This is a great stop to beat the heat. The inside is clean and vibrant. I had a fun time just hanging and talking with a friend.

    First and foremost, the concept here with offering a space for fur baby lovers is so sweet! Bring your fur babies cause it a pet friendly gelato shop with pet treats and also, recently added, a mini shop of local chocolates. The service is always great. A little sample of a few flavors will help you figure out what you'll be wanting. There are plenty of flavors and even several vegan options. There is seating inside and some out, plenty of parking, as I said.. a space for your pets, family friendly (there are a few games) and the gelatos are delicious.

    It had icy bits. A no-no. It wasn't smooth. Another no-no. It did not have the gelato mouth feel. Lots of flavours, but sorry to say this did not come close to the Italian gelato we have in Toronto. It wasn't terrible. It just didn't feel like we were eating gelato. Lady behind the counter was very courteous.

    We always stop in for the Tucson Chocolate Shoppe, and it never disappoints. The chocolates are incredible, and their chocolate shakes are uniquely delicious. Gelatos are as well.

    The sign had us stopping. Cute! What was even better was the sweetest owner and yummy choices. Yay for Bellas! A few tables out front and room inside, but while we were there, plenty of people stopped in for it to go. Great stop! Head to Bella's if you are in the Tucson area.

    Delicious gelato, especially, on this hot blistering day! Service was immediate and friendly. I got helpful recommendations for my two flavored small cup. The atmosphere was laid-back and comfortable, with a mix of tables and chairs and comfy sofas

    Pistachio and cherry gelato
    Jenna F.

    Bella's is a great local spot to get gelato with a variety of flavors, including non-dairy options. I tried the pistachio and cherry flavors since one of the staff members recommended the pairing and I would definitely recommend that combination, especially as we get into the warmer months. The location is fairly small so keep that in mind if you're stopping by during a busier time! There are tables outside but seating is somewhat limited.

    Small salted caramel and hazelnut

    Bella's is a cute gelato shop on Speedway. They put up to 2 gelato flavors in a small cup and up to 3 in a medium. While they don't have a large selection of flavors, they do have quite a few that are gluten-free. If gelato isn't your thing, they also have biscotti, nuts, and other treats. Have a pup or kitty? They have treats for them too! On the night we stopped in, we were greeted by two friendly staff members. I selected a small cup with chocolate and pistachio. The serving size was ample and the flavors were good, but the texture reminded me of booza (stretchy ice cream). Not bad, just not what I was expecting. We wouldn't mind stopping in again.

    I stumbled on this place when I was thinking about ice cream and there it was. They have an outside table as well as inside seating. The place was very clean and the owner was welcoming and helpful. In addition to the gelato, they had biscotti, cinnamon cashews and "doggie donuts"They have gluten free and non-dairy options also and even custom make gelato cakes. I had the medium size with 2 flavors: white chocolate strawberry and chocolate chip. The flavors were not overly strong but very nice. The gelato was smooth and light. It felt like there were no calories. I really enjoyed it and would go back again.

There are many flavor options and even a couple of non-dairy choices. The service is a bit hit-or-miss, and really just depends on the staff there at the time as well as the specific location. Beyond the regular cones and cups they also have some options such as the flight, nachos, and the banana split. They also specific which flavors have gluten. They used to advertise that their dairy came from grass-fed cows, but that stopped a few years ago so I'm guessing that is no longer the case. While that's what caught my attention and actually got me in the door, I've stayed a customer because they do mention that their dairy comes from cows that have not been given antibiotics or hormones. So for those who pay attention to such things, take note! This locations is pretty small but I do like that they have just a couple of outdoor tables with chairs so that I can sit outside when it's nice weather.

    Dining here was a great experience for a first time in downtown Tuscon…read more The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service were fantastic. The Prime Rib fries were piled high and tasted great. The Buffalo wings were cooked just like I like them...extra crispy. I asked for the Buffalo sauce to be on the side. The wings aren't seasoned so the flavor is all in the sauce. Seated by the window made a fun time people watching as we enjoyed the downtown view. This place is more spacious than I anticipated. The bar area is sectioned off from the main dining area so there is plenty of seating. My waiter Robert was really awesome. Took great care of me and my sister's dining needs. He suggested dessert but we were too full to try any. So he suggested to sample some of their ice cream before leaving I went over to the ice cream shop which is right at the entry/exit door. I waited but no one came over to sample. After a few mins of waiting, I left and will have to try the ice cream next time.

The server was friendly and the ice cream wasn't bad but it wasn't something that blew me away. Also we had initially wanted an affogato but the espresso machine was down. This review is solely based on the ice cream though I do think the interior looked fun/elegant to dine in and try food. I would be interested in giving this spot a try for the food and drinks.

The order I received was a a medium vanilla shake and a cup of gummy bears. They said it was very chaotic in there (and aren't prone to exaggerate). As I am sick I cannot go in to get my cup, nor can I call, because I cannot speak. There is also not a way to resolve the issue on the app. If I am able to go in this weekend I will update. It was a major bummer though. I worked there when I was a teen and loved the place. I didn't feel well, so forgot to take a photo. So sorry. The cup of gummy bears was humorous despite my disappointment about my coloring changing cup meant to bring me some silly joy while feeling under the weather. UPDAE - It's the following night. I am still ill, but since I was out with my teens they offered to go in and let the employees know the problem and show them my order and try to grab the cup since it was on the way home. We pulled up 10 minutes before closing and the employees seemed to physically notice us, have a conversation about it (my daughter thought she read their lips talking about how many of us there were), and then turned off the lights. So... that was lovely. My sister also said that when she was in last night something seemed off, that it was messy, and she had concerns that employees may have even been on drugs. She doesn't exaggerate, so... that also explains why she was quick to get out and not double check on my order... I'm real sad about this situation... I am adding a cropped photo of my order from the app to clarify what the gummi bear cup is.
