Went here twice during my 1.5 days visit in Granada. We ordered their two popular items in the menu, Cassata/Tutti Frutti (2.5 Euro) and Tarta Helada (which is Coffee Ice Cream in a shape of cake like Cassata, also 2.50 Euro). I also had Pistachio Gelato which was also very good (1.5 Euro for 1 big scoop). This place is closed at 12 midnight, which makes it a perfect destination for dessert after a late dinner in Granada. read more

Yes yes and yes. Granada can get HOT and there is no better way to cool down than this place. Try the ice cream that looks like a slice of cake in a cone. 4 different varieties of ice cream in a convenient wedge. read more

Love at first bite! I don't know what it is about the small plain cone they serve here, but it's the best cone I've ever had. Light, crisp, fresh. Unfortunately, no one spoke English at the gelato shop, and I had much trouble ordering. So I kept it simple and just ordered single scoop of stracciatella (chocolate chip) for €1,50. I went back in the evening for another cone in one day...it was that good!! Hordes of people were all lined up for the cold treats on a hot day, and it's been hot!!, so they were moving us quickly through the queue and I had no time to ask in broken Spanish/English. The gelato started to melt the moment it was taken outside. It was 108°F in early September. They had some fancy looking offerings, but unfortunately I didn't know how to order these. So sad to be leaving Granada...couldn't find another like Los Italianos in Seville or Madrid. Will look for one like it in Barcelona. read more

One thing I couldn't pass up while in Spain, ever, was a nice, cool serving of gelato. In fact, it was probably what I talked about most during my time there. "I will punch you if you keep asking for gelato," exclaimed a friend. Perhaps she was having a bad day. I digress; the exception to this golden rule of mine nearly reared its unsightly head when I saw the line for this place. My friends and I all turned on our heels--no gelato is worth THAT, we said. Alas, we were spurred on by a chaperone accompanying us on our weekend trip to Granada. My friends shrugged and disappeared into what was less like an ice cream shop and more of a mass of flesh and limbs accompanied with the scents of sweat and sugar. There is one thing worse than turning down gelato, and that is watching your friends eat gelato after you've refused it. Thus, I dove into a sea of customers, their eyes glinting like those of hungry sharks who have spotted prey. I squirmed my (surprisingly still skinny) self between tourists and Spanish natives, feeling like the one thing I disliked most. I am a New Yorker, and in this parlor, I felt like one of the many wide-eyed and self-unaware tourists I'd encountered over my lifetime. With a number of people in this shop and a personal recommendation, though, I figured that this gelato MUST be worth my mild identity crisis. Surely. When I was able to order, I selected a medium Stracciatella. If there's one conversation I know how to have in Spanish, it's one where I order gelato. When I watched my server scoop my order into a long, skinny cone, I had to wonder if he had misunderstood my Spanish. A medium; equivalent to one pathetic little scoop of gelato in a cone far too long for it? Still, though, I remained hopeful that the flavor would blow me away and explain the overwhelming amount of people in this shop, only comparable to the R train on a snowy day. It didn't. I often compare a wonderful gelato to a wonderful person. She keeps you asking questions. How was she brought into this universe? What ingredients have given my tongue the joy of such a diverse range of flavors? Will I ever find anyone as perfect as this glob of creaminess? This small scoop of Stracciatella, perched on its cone, looking like a premature baby, capable of being swallowed whole, had me asking questions. The wrong questions. Why is everyone cramming themselves into a tiny ice cream shop for this? If one scoop is a medium, then what on Earth is a small? Why am I not satisfied? Why do I not think that this gelato is worth everything I went through? Am I insane? These questions, to this day, come to haunt me at night. When I am lying in bed, I gaze at my Tumblr-esque Christmas lights that adorn my windows while this ice cream parlor, chilled and filled with skin and body odor, rises up out of the darkest corners of my consciousness. This place and its apparent local fame plague me like the great unknowns of our universe: Is space infinite? Is the Loch Ness Monster real? Do we have a purpose? Why is Los Italianos so popular? My friends did not feel any particular way about this ice cream shop. Our second night in Granada one of them asked if we'd like to go back. None of us thought it would be worth it, but I was the sole member of our gaggle of teens that had been left with a bad taste in her mouth. We joked about the size selections briefly, guessing that perhaps a small cone was no ice cream at all. Perhaps it was a warm breath into one of the ridiculously lengthy cones, a whisper of what gelato could be, and what Los Italianos's gelato is not. We opted for Heladería Tiggiani, having been entranced by the shop's impeccable flavor presentation the day before. The Ferrero Rocher flavor sitting on my tongue is far more memorable than Los Italianos's lackluster Stracciatella could ever hope to be, although I may never forget the way that my wallet and very being felt violated that night. Perhaps some questions are not meant to be answered. Is space infinite? I'm not sure, and I'm not smart enough to wrap my feeble mind around Google's answer. Is the Loch Ness Monster real? I have my own theory on my beloved Nessie, but now is not the time nor place. Do we have a purpose? Maybe, but mine is not to exist within the creamy off-white walls of a cramped ice cream parlor in Granada. I sought community on Yelp, hoping to find others who felt the same way I did. My therapist says that it is through shared experiences that we can begin to heal. Alas, the lowest-rated review page soon gave way to three- and four-star ratings. Only one or two individuals share my same icy-hearted fate. Los Italianos: 2-star gelato and atmosphere, 5-star instigation of self-introspection. read more

Best gelato place in Spain! A must if you are ever in the Granada area. It is only 1 € for 1 scoop and there are so many flavors to choose from. I have tried stracciatella (similar to chocolate chip) and trufa (similar to a chocolate truffle) and they were both amazing. There is also ice cream cake in a cone on the menu that I have yet to try, but it looks really good. The service is excellent as well. The workers are all very nice and the line goes by fast! Also, I heard it is Michelle Obama's favorite gelato place! The area surrounding it is also a fun place to walk around. There are many tapa places and restaurants near by and it is close to the Alhambra as well. -Erin H. read more

Great gelatos! Regular cups/cones, but with some neat unique options like the tarta (slice of cake/gelato combo in a cone). We visited here a few times and wishes we could have gone back more! I wouldn't bother with any other gelato place. The service is quick even if it's busy and the staff are friendly despite being so busy! read more

See all

Try the Torrone ice cream, it's amazing. Very fresh ice cream and toppings. Can get very crowded but I spent one month in Granada and visited Los Italianos three times- highly recommend. read more

This is the place to go for traditional icecream in Granada. Don't miss the cold espresso with vanilla icecream! read more

Los Italianos - Classic! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Granada, GR

The best ice cream in town. Amazing orange and raspberry gelato + the cassata ice cream is can't miss.

One of my friends said Los Italianos had the best ice cream in Granada and I never say no to ice cream, so off we went! Maybe because I was expecting gelato of mythical proportions, I was a little disappointed. It's good gelato, just nothing to write home about. It's reasonably priced, like a euro for a small cone like most places and hits the spot when you are exhausted and depressed after endless piso hunting in 100 degree weather... I digress. Anyway, I especially like turron and cafe flavors and the location right on Gran Via is convenient. read more

I studied abroad in Granada in the spring of 2013 and all the locals I've talked to declare this the best helado in the city. The price is alright and I like how there are flavors you don't typically find at any other heladería, but I saw through the hype. It's worth a visit or two, but taste is subjective. read more

An amazing gelato place, their natural fruit flavors are incredible, especially the lemon. Definitely worth the euro or two for a small cone. read more

Heard Obama's tried it. Heard the president of Spain was there two weeks ago, had to try it. Even though we were in Granada two nights, we went to Los Italianos 6 times!!! Best ice cream ever had. read more
