I've been on a gelato kick lately and have driven by Bella's many times but I finally stopped in recently. The inside and outside are painted a fun bright blue and the walls are covered with photos of what I'm assuming is the owners' dog, Bella. They even sell plenty of dog treats for your pet. It was pretty busy when I went which felt like a good sign. The girl behind the counter was super friendly and made us feel welcome, encouraging us to sample different flavors. I ended up choosing half rocky road gelato and half banana. I really liked the rocky road and the banana was pretty good too. I also ordered a Wildcat brownie, which was really cool. It had the U of A Wildcat logo dusted on top with powdered sugar. Overall, it's a fun spot near campus and definitely worth checking out. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Bellas is a very special gelato shop. First of all, it is attractive to the eye, the floors are beautiful. It's clean. It's light. It's a very nice space but most importantly the gelato products are fabulous. There are many different flavors and many options for those who require dairy free, gluten free. They have some yummy treats and a very unique option of placing our local university of Arizona mascot image in powdered sugar on a brownie. It makes a very nice thoughtful gift. I highly recommend Bella's. read more

After having ice cream across the way, we saw this place and decided to check it out! Since we were on vacation, travelling through Tucson, why not indulge in double the frozen treats?!?! I'm so glad we did! We were greeted and helped by the owner. She was very sweet, welcoming, and told us about her store. This company, which had its beginnings as an ice cream truck, is named after their beloved pup Bella. Sadly, Bella passed away in 2019, but there are pictures of her in the store as well on the logo. We sampled a few ice cream flavors and decided on Orange Walnut Cranberry, Eggnog, & Pumpkin Caramel Gingersnap Gelato. We were grateful for the ability to add the third flavor! Each flavor was so good! They make excellent Gelato! Besides Gelato & Sorbettos, they sell Fudge, Nuts, Brownies, and Cookies. The owner gave us each a Gingersnap Cookie with our purchase. We really loved the cookie! It was by far one of the best Gingersnap Cookies I've had! If you bring your well-behaved dog(s) into their shop, they will be treated to a Pup Cup! They love dogs! The interior is brightly lit with a cool floor! ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bella-s-gelato-shoppe-tucson?select=GLiUjj95kjujR75noEdz_g ) There are a good number of tables to enjoy your goodies inside.

After having a not so good experience somewhere else I came here in hopes of saving date night by having a non dairy chocolate shake. Boy did they deliver.

Thank you for being so kind and making allergy friendly gelato read more

Puppy friendly. Should I say more? Named after the owner's beloved Bella who passed away and gave joy. Like the fact they have puppy options as well as gluten free/ vegan/ dairy free options. Not a huge selection of gelatos ... but enough to get your sweet tooth fix in. Not a lot of seating. read more

We stopped here on a Friday night and were helped right away by the friendly staff. They have a big menu and even have quite a few dairy free options. They have gelato for your pup and dogs n donuts treats. I love tiramisu gelato and I'd say theirs is the best in Tucson and tastes the closest to it. There's spots to sit both inside and out as well as a decent parking lot. read more

stopped here for dessert on a friday night. plenty of parking and seating indoors. they co-share the space with a chocolate shop which is nice if you wanted some chocolate to go after having some gelato. the staff is beyond kind and offers free samples. ALL the flavors we tried were absolutely delicious!! they even give out free stickers. my favorite was the prickley pear, my cousin's wife liked the toasted pistachio where my cousin liked the orange. they have SO many flavors that you're bound to like at least one. the smallest size you can get up to 2 flavors, medium & large you can get up to 3. i say that the smallest size was the perfect amount for a post meal treat! the small is $5.75 and the medium is $7.50 which is a bit steep, but honestly the quality is there and the staff were amazing so i believe it's well deserved! they even have outdoor seating so you can bring your pup! highly recommend! read more

I came here last night with my friend, as we have been wanting to try Bella's for awhile. They do give out samples, which was very helpful in deciding which flavors to get. I got the Nutella and kaluha tiramisu, and she got the cheesecake and salted caramel. To start, the workers were very friendly, the prices were not bad, and you get a discount if you go to the U of A! We sat outside, and were happy that there were tables out there. The gelato was a little gritty and some flavors were meltier than others, but still tasted pretty good overall! We agreed that Frost may be a little better, but we love that Bella's is closer to campus and will be back if we need a quick fix! I would love to try more flavors! read more

It's a cute shop! The gelato was okay nothing really special in my opinion, I got a coffee flavor with pistachio chocolate and I couldn't really taste the coffee beside the espresso beans that was in there ice cream. But the main reason I went was for the viral Dubi chocolate. I got a medium and it had the tiniest filling ever in it lol. No pistachio taste in it at all. I got it on April 22 and the date on when it was made was in March sooo yeah... it a fine place just not one I would go out of my way to get some. read more

Bella's Gelato is a welcome addition to the dessert scene here in town! I finally stopped in to try their gelato, and it was a lovely afternoon treat. They're very friendly, and let us try several flavors before we chose. I ended up getting dark chocolate and mint gelatos, while my friend got the mango sorbet and a lemon San Pellegrino. I very much liked my gelato -- the combination is basically a frozen luxe Andes mint -- but the mango was actually my favorite of the day! It was pure tropical goodness. I don't know their specific recipe, but this tasted like they'd tossed a mango in a blender and frozen it, and I mean that as a compliment! There was nothing artificial in the flavor whatsoever. It'd be the perfect summer refresher! read more

Disappointing. The service is exceptional. The gelato is not. The triple chocolate had absolutely no flavour whatsoever. My sister's ice cream (also triple chocolate) had no flavour either. Not worth the carbs. The texture was also off. Not smooth and luscious. $8.50 for a large cup is pretty spendy. Frost Gelato is light years ahead of this place. read more

I will start by saying that the customer service is exceptional here and amongst the few places in Tucson with staff that are friendly, welcoming and eager to help you choose a flavor. I feel bummed that I didn't love the gelato here. Unfortunately, the consistency was somewhat sticky and all of the flavors we ordered were all lacking the depth of flavor and richness of traditional gelato, which I've enjoyed many times in Italy. I was surprised that out of the six flavors we ordered, that not a single one stood out at as the best or a favorite. Another review mentions that the gelato reminded them of "booza," which after looking it up, I agree! It's kind of a stretchy and chewy texture. The shop is also pet friendly and welcoming. They have some retails items from "Dogs n Donuts." Additionally, there are some board games and toys for kids to play with. It's a lovely little shop, the gelato just isn't quite gelato, IMHO. read more
