    Always a great place for treats & cool air. Nice staff central location. Dont drive by, it's worth stopping.

    Tripe chocolate and cherry

    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.

    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.

    This place is amazing!! Lots of choices with some being kosher, vegan and dairy free. It is nice and cool in there, good music playing and the employee was soooo sweet. She even offered us some ice water which was perfect because it was hot and humid outside. The flavors we choose were delicious and you get to try three flavors for free. They also sell dog treats and cat treats made locally! Definitely recommend supporting this local business. You will not be disappointed!

    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.

    Birria Munchies Truck - A Total Hit…read more Birria Munchies Truck pulled up to my apartment complex on Tuesday, and let me tell you, the hype was real. They sold out fast, and when they came back on Thursday, I made sure I was first in line no way I was risking missing out twice. Their menu is incredibly easy to read, streamlined, and straight to the point: it's all about the birria. They keep the payment process simple too, cash or card, no drama, just efficiency. I ordered a birria taco and a mulita, which is basically a double-tortilla birria quesadilla situation, and both were absolute standouts. Prices are on point, especially for the quality. You can literally smell the birria before you even get close to the truck. The meat is juicy and seasoned perfectly; you can taste every layer of flavor. And the cheese? I'm convinced they're using Oaxaca cheese because it is incredibly rich and melts just right. I'm not sure where their permanent spot is, but if you ever see Birria Munchies Truck out in the wild, do yourself a favor and stop. This truck is absolutely worth chasing down. Thank you, Birria Munchies! See you next time you swing by

    Excellent authentic food…read more The jerk chicken was really tasty and superb. It comes with steamed veggies: cabbage, carrots, onions. It also came with rice which was good. I also got a Jamaican pop--Cola Champagne. Really good stuff. You just have to ignore food truck prices and bite the bullet to bite the food. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

The oxtails were perfectly cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender. Great flavor! Delicious plantains, rice, and veggies. What a stacked meal. I grabbed the bag and was surprised by how heavy it was. Definitely enough for 2. This was next level from what I've had in the past, and I look forward to visiting again and trying more.

    This truck is owned by Dante's Fire's, Ken Foy…read more So first a story on how they came up with the name. Sam Fox of Fox Concept Restaurants (Wildflower, Blanco, Zinburger, Culinary Drop Out) told Ken Foy of Dante's Fire upon opening his Culinary Drop Out directly across the street that "I'm going to put you out of business so fast..." Not too kind nor professional of words to a fellow chef. Well, Dante's Fire is still open and going strong. So Chef Foy decides to do a food truck. So in a slap in the face to "Culinary Dropout," he names it "Culinary Graduate." I think that's funny. Lost some respect for Sam Fox. So, you look at this food truck's menu and you salivate at every item. The worst part of this truck is having to decide what you are going to order. Part of the problem is that the menu items are $10 a pop or more. Not cheap. I decided to go baseline and tried the Sexy Grilled Cheese. Delicious combination of flavors. My only disappointment was the way the bread was grilled. Uneven. Still had plenty of ungrilled white real estate. Not grilled to perfection as my former favorite food truck, Burgerrito (since moved to Tennesee), could do. That will be my bar of standard for grilled sandwiches forever. The garlic fries were good and I enjoyed them. I was disappointed that he was out of the tomato herb potato chips. I can't remember his name, but I sure enjoyed service from the employee. He was super friendly, passionate about the truck, and energetic. Follow them on Facebook for days of service and location. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience.
