    I haven't been to Italy, but I have had gelato in a few different parts of the US. This place is a gem for Tucson food scene. The place has a lot of charm, well laid out, and looks clean. The 3 different types of gelato, vanilla, strawberry, and salted caramel were all excellent. The service was great. She was nice enough to label the different gelatos when I asked. Definitely go here if you're craving gelato.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

Any…read moreand every menu item is delicious, our personal favorites are the nasty cat sandwich and cacio e pepe. But we also really enjoy their monthly specials. Every month usually features new menu items and collabs with other local businesses. Another cool (pun intended) part about Noodies is their gelato. They have different flavors featured every week so I recommend following their instagram to keep updated - you might get lucky and be able to buy a pint if you find that flavor in their little freezer tho! Beware the parking lot is small and inside is a little small too with a few booths and long table in the middle. This place also gets REALLY busy on weekend evenings during the school year since it is just right by the college lol

I like that they have a few…read morechoices of types of pasta as well as sauces, so that it isn't as overwhelming as some restaurants that have pages and pages of menu items. It makes it very clear and easy to order. I had the cacio e pepe sauce with the fettuccine pasta. I also added chicken. Of course I could not resist trying the soft serve gelato, which is a different flavor every week. I can definitely tell that the pasta is freshly made there. When dining in there's also a cute area for kids to play in which is a bonus for families with young people. I'll definitely be back on those rare occasions when I just want a nice, fresh bowl of pasta.

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.
