    I can tell that this is gonna be the new spot to be at this summer. Love that you can sample the Italian ice flavors before you commit and you can also get more than 1 ice flavor for all of the sizes! Sizes go from S, M/Regular, L. Prices were very reasonable as well. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The Italian ice paired with the vanilla soft serve was delicious. Service was great too. And the best part, bring your pups, they eat for free :) Beware of parking tho, they share a lot with the falafel spot next to them. Only one way in and out which can also be difficult when there's a long line of people cutting through the lot. We parked in a different plaza and walked over.

    This place has really good Italian ice! I also enjoyed the soft serve, very creamy vanilla ice cream! They offer non dairy soft serve flavors now. My favorite ice flavor is lemon although I don't like accidentally chewing bitter seeds. Rootbeer gelati is a nice combination too, kinda like a rootbeer float. However the rootbeer we got one time was very melted and mushy. It's hot outside but it came mushy already. What I like most about it is the price is very affordable (prices increased a little bit since I last came). You order at the booth outside and get your ice cream though there is a bit of a wait because there's 2-3 windows at a time. They changed their process a bit and had us wait at the side while they took the next customer's order. They have a lot of seating inside and there's a lot shared by falafel stop and this Italian ice. I think it's the same owner. The is very chaotic and they changed the direction of the line recently, it used to go towards the sidewalk by the street side of the building and now it goes inwards. The only downside is that I came back on a very hot day and I have to smell the stench of their garbage bins... so unappetizing. The layout is really weird too because if the line gets too long it blocked one way to get into more parking spaces.

    This spot is right next to Falafel Stop, so parking can be tricky during peak hours and weekends. I couldn't find a spot when I arrived around 3:25 pm on a Sunday, and it was hard to navigate through the lot since people made their own spots. The line moved fast, but it was in the sun, so I suggest bringing a sun hat. They have two tables outside, plus some inside tables and patio spots. Since it's an open building, there's no AC, but if you sit near a window, you'll get a breeze. They played fun music, but it wasn't too loud, which I liked. The young girl who helped us was nice, but her male coworker who handed Jelati to a group behind us had a bit of an attitude. All the Italian Ice flavors are vegan, and they also have a rotating selection of dairy-free soft serve. So, we can either enjoy a Jelati or just stick with ice. I decided to make my own Jelati with Dairy Free Mango soft serve and Passionfruit and Pina Colada Italian ice. The mango soft-serve was my favorite part of the Jelati. It's creamy and the mango flavor really comes through. The Passionfruit was good, but it was more sweet than tangy, which I wasn't expecting. The Pina Colada didn't taste enough like coconut or pineapple to me; it just tasted like sugar. I probably should've gotten a small instead of a medium. I ate all the mango soft-serve on top and about a quarter of the Italian ice before I tapped out. I'm not a fan of overly sweet treats, so even though I enjoy indulging occasionally, I can't eat too much in one sitting. That being said, I still enjoyed it, and I really like how affordable they are. Next time, I'll try sour apple and lemon since I prefer tangy and sour over sweet.

    Jonny's Italian Ice is a welcome addition to Sunnyvale, conveniently located in the same area as the Falafel Stop, so you can get food and a treat. They offer a variety of Italian ice flavors at very reasonable prices, making it an easy stop on a hot day. Just a heads-up, some of the brighter flavors can temporarily turn your tongue and teeth colorful! Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's a shared lot with Falafel Stop, especially during busy hours, but it's worth the effort. It's a fun, refreshing treat and definitely worth checking out when you're craving something cold and fruity.

    Five stars for this new gem! The jelatti and soft serve combo is unmatched--definitely a must-try. We came during opening week and loved it. Tried to swing by again last night right before closing (around 10:30 PM) and the line was insane! Love seeing a great spot get so much hype so quickly. Just a heads up that the parking lot gets super crowded because of the neighboring falafel shop, but it is 100% worth the wait. Can't wait to go back!

    Perfect little spot for a sweet summer treat! Their soft serve is creamy and not too sweet. The tartness of the Italian ice cuts through the richness of the soft serve which makes it a nicely balanced dessert. I got a little combo gelati with vanilla soft serve and mango and strawberry ice flavors, I think next time I'll skip mango as it was on the artificial tasting side but the strawberry and strawberry lemonade (which bf got) was really tasty! Line goes by fast. I'd park across the street and walk over since this parking lot has only like 10 spots lol.

    Ugh, gonna be a summer staple! Came in right around closing and we were lucky enough to miss the crowds. The cream was so creamy! Like literally the smoothest I've had AND I normally don't like ice but this one is superior. You can really tell they are using fresh ingredients to flavor. Service was so friendly. We met one of the owners, who also owns falafel stop. So personable and can't wait to come back! Lots of seating and so pet friendly!

    Came by on a warm Monday afternoon and there was barely a line so my order was taken swiftly! I got a small cotton candy ice and a root beer jelati! Total for both was ~$9 so it was quite affordable and the size was super reasonable for the price! If you are a fan of cotton candy, you will love the one that is served here! Nothing more to say aside from sweet perfection. I tried the root beer with some of the soft serve and it was really good as well. Nice root beer flavor and the vanilla soft serve is super creamy and smooth. Staff is nice and sizable parking lot, though I imagine it can get packed on weekends. Would come again!

    Next to falafel stop is this Italian ice gem! Think Joe's Italian Ice (Anaheim area) and lucky for Sunnyvale, this recently opened and is a hot spot. Summer is here and this is the perfect place to cool off with lots of dairy free options (for the vegans and lactose intolerant as of the world). I got the pineapple (think dole whip) and the strawberry ice (made with fresh strawberry bits). It's so refreshing on a hot summer day. Bring your patience as parking is difficult as lot is shared by the popular falafel stop), and lines can be long (and moves quickly). Stay cool and check out Italian Ice! Happy summer dears!

    This place is right next to Falafel stop and they share the same parking lot so it gets really busy. We came on a Saturday around lunch time so it was hard to get parking. The line moves fast and there's also seating inside. I ordered the small jelati with strawberry ice and the guy behind was really nice and recommended that I pair it with mango and lemon ice as well. It turned out to be an awesome combination! All of their ice is made with real fruit and I liked how smooth the ice and soft serve was. I would totally recommend trying this place out if you are a fan of soft serve or Italian ice!

    Quite busy on a Saturday evening but line moves quickly. Parking lot is tight and can get quite chaotic. They have plenty of seating inside / in the back. I like how there are 3 size options for the jelati and the prices are very reasonable. I got the jelati with mango Italian ice and vanilla soft serve. The soft serve was solid. The mango Italian ice was clearly very fresh and there were fruit chunks in it. Perfect for a dessert that doesn't feel too heavy. It does seem like their Italian ice flavors change regularly. Would definitely come back to try other Italian ice flavors and their dipped cones.

    Wow! It was packed! Parking lot was full, if you find a place to park, wonderful, if you didn't, park somewhere and walk. The line was down the street but it went by really fast. A lot of seatings. There were so many flavors. I got the "jelati" peach and mango with cherry flavor on top. Lots of places to sit down, they outdoor and inside to sit and some behind their counter, cute place just in a small parking lot shared with the falafel place. Be prepared to stand in a long line. And the pricing is very reasonable.

When I visited on a Monday night, it was almost completely empty. However, when I drop in on weekends, it's much more lively.

There's a couple tables indoors and more seating outdoors. I genuinely love the gelato here. It may be for sentimental reasons, but I truly think the gelato here is unmatched by any other ice cream place I've visited. I love the soft and slightly stretchy texture of the gelato. It's definitely softer than other ice cream I've tried, but I honestly prefer this type of elasticity. The flavors are very classic: I love the strawberry fresca, lychee, and stracciatella flavors. This is definitely a comfort spot for me and home to some absolutely delicious gelato!

This is my third time at Marco Polo and it really hit the spot. The location is in Vietnam Town, on the far right side, next to Pho 90. When I went this time around, there was no lines but there were still people sitting in the store eating their desserts. Parking here can get tough because of the plaza itself so just a heads up to folks who do not frequent the area. What makes Marco Polo so special is their Asian gelato flavors that you cannot really get anywhere else (that to say a lot of places are now expanding their selections). This was the first spot where I could finally get my hands on durian gelato and it was absolutely delicious. The store itself has around 3 tables for you to sit in and is pretty bare boned. It is good for a grab and go but with the limited seating inside and outside you could spend some time here. Service is quick and you are able to try out some samples. This time around I ordered black sesame and Pandan, while my partner got mango and lychee. It was near close so they ran out of mangosteen unfortunately when I went. While the flavors were great, stood out, and were bold, I will say texturally it was a bit icey for my liking but that might have been because they started crystallizing from being out for a while. Overall, this is a small business I will continue to support!

There's something special about strolling along Historic Murphy Avenue after dinner and finishing the evening with gelato, especially with the beautiful weather we've been enjoying lately. My all-time favorite gelato flavor is banana. Unfortunately, I usually leave gelato shops disappointed because they either don't carry it or try to make it too fancy. I've been told I'm a "purist" when it comes to food, and I have to agree. Nothing ruins banana gelato for me faster than mixing it with chocolate, caramel, or other add-ins (except for nuts). I like banana to taste like... banana. So you can imagine how excited I was to see that their banana flavor was simply that--banana. Even though I ordered a small, the gentleman behind the counter kindly offered me two flavors. I happily added Chocolate Mint. While preparing my order, the grandson shared that his grandfather was in the back making another batch of banana gelato by mashing fresh organic bananas. In fact, many of their fruit gelatos are made with fresh fruit. That's one of the things I miss most about Italy, where so many gelaterias rely on simple, high-quality ingredients. My banana gelato was delicious and exactly what I'd hoped for--fresh, creamy, and pure banana flavor. My husband ordered Mango and Lychee. Those were delicious too. One final note: they don't offer samples, and it's clearly stated on the display case. Personally, I appreciate that policy. We've visited shops where endless sample requests slow the line to a crawl. My philosophy is simple: if I enjoy it, I'll be back. From so many flavors to choose and 365 days in the year, there's no reason to make one decision your final one. Just come back next time and try something different.
