Venchi is a very popular gelato and chocolate specialty store. This location near Times Square is a…read moregreat spot for sweets. I came here in single digit weather, and wow did the hot chocolate hit. The hot chocolate was super rich, to the point where it felt like drinking straight liquid chocolate. The inside is super fun, with half the store dedicated to gelato and half to chocolate. The decorations were unique and fun! The service was really friendly! They helped us go through the flavors as well as buying various chocolates. Overall, Venchi is a great spot for amazing desserts!

He had never been to a gelato and I suggested it! (I've been to one other location) The second you walk, the place feels lavish. The storefront is pristine and gorgeously furnished. The chocolatiers/gelatieres are so warm and one walked up to us while we in line and explained the size options and options for what they will coat our cups and cones with - I think the options were dark chocolate or hazelnut. You also are able to sample any flavors before choosing! Being that I just ate, I got myself a small treat, a "baby" cup of pistachio gelato. They had the Dubai chocolate pistachio flavor as well, but I felt that one was too sweet for my liking. I was very happy with my pistachio! My sister in law enjoyed fruity gelatos and my brother a rich, dark chocolate. Every gelato comes with a chocolate, which is a nice added touch. The store was clean, the workers very hospitable and the gelato delicious and authentic! Thank you Venchi for an awesome experience, as always!

I finally settled on mango cheesecake and watermelon mint. That watermelon mint though... OMG. So refreshing! I'm still thinking about it and wish I could've brought some home with me! Bonus points for the adorable retro decor. It made the whole experience even better. If you're in town, definitely add this spot to your list! 5/5

The flavors were totally lacking in so many of them that we sampled! Even the ones we picked were very bleh compared to other gelato places. The ambiance was just alright and service was quite poor. The girl working was friendly but the guy, not so much. And both were the only ones working and it was soo busy liens were so long service was slower and no one to give samples. Had to order separately at kiosk with all the flavors prior to going up to them making it very inefficient and time consuming process unless you already know everything you want Got the classic cone 4 flavors for $10 and cone upgrade $2 for chocolate hazelnut side and the chocolate was so thin it was barely anything and same with the hazelnuts, very disappointing. Couldn't even finish the cone itself because it tasted so bad. Just cone for the picture and that's it to be honest, nothing else going for it, prefer others in the city!

The pistachio is a must-try, easily one of the best I've had in a very long time. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. They also have plenty of seating, making it a perfect spot to cool off and escape the summer heat. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby.

I was there today with my son and discovered that the Nutella flavor was not offered anymore. I stopped 3 or 4 times before and was told that it was being made? But today, was told it was not offered anymore which disappointed me. I took the hazelnut/ nuts one which was very good. I was SHOCKEDDDDDD by the new prices! Over $12.00 (old price 9.90) for the big size and $10.00 (old price 8.25) for medium (almost $25.00 w tax for 2 ice creams is robbery!) A big jump from old prices. I will never visit the store again, nor will my friends. I know, owner will say it's the rent, bla-bla-bla, but this is insane. I know the tourists will pay but you've lost me and I came a lotttttt!

The first time I came was on a Monday after dinner, and there was a short line. It moved pretty fast because they had multiple people scooping gelato. I got the medium size with pistachio, pavlova & mixed berries, and chocolate almond. The chocolate almond was my favorite but all were so yummy. A perfect sweet treat :) Medium size is good for 2 or even 3 people if you don't want too much. They stack your cup sooo high! I came back in less than 1 week. It was a Sunday after dinner and a very humid hot day and the line was sooo long out the door omg. I got a small with hazelnut crunch that might be my new favorite flavor! I also got the stracciatella, but that one was too creamy for me. Also they LOADED my cup, it was definitely too much to finish alone. Interior has a good amount of seating, and I was able to get one both times!

I settled on the pistachio creme brulee (one flavor). It was a creme brulee base with pistachios mixed in. The texture was a little more liquidy than what I expect from gelato. Flavor was less bold and less creamy than what I expect as well. Ate a lot more like a sorbet. Pricey at about $10 for a small waffle cone (excluding rip). Service was quick and polite.

I ordered the parfait, and while it looked beautiful, the whipped cream had a really unpleasant oily mouthfeel that overpowered the dessert. The staff did offer me a macaron when the topping I wanted was out, which I appreciated, but it arrived noticeably smushed. The gelato itself was decent. The blueberry cheesecake flavor was tasty and actually tasted like blueberries, but the fig was so mild that I could barely taste it. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the condition of the shop. It gets a lot of foot traffic, but it didn't seem like the space was being kept up with. The seating area wasn't very clean, which made the experience feel a bit off-putting while trying to enjoy dessert.
