Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 3.5/5…read more I love Magnum ice cream bars - the decadent chocolate always knocks my socks off and the ice cream is always flavor and creamy. So I wasn't about to pass up the chance to get my own custom made ice cream bar. Basically you can have an ice cream bar dipped into thick milk chocolate or white chocolate coating and then drenched in toppings (you get three built in to the price). They make sure to absolutely coat every inch in topping, so it's worth the price. Although the bar lacked my favorite thing about the store brand (that thin liquidly layer of chocolate under the shell), it was still a more-than-decadent treat. They also have a decent amount of liquor offerings, and my wife (who was sticking strictly to gelato) opted for a high-end prosecco that was tasty and bubbly! That said, many of the critiques are true. The servers were inattentive at best. But nothing over the top that justifies a bunch of "1-star" ratings. And yes, you need to pay to sit at the indoor or outdoor searing - but that's true of virtually every Italian restaurant (so I'm not sure why other reviewers were so mad. Also, they had plenty of signs noting that they charge for seating). Also of note - and hitting my puerile sense of humor, Google Maps calls is the "Magnum Pleasure Store" when you're looking it up. So trust me, it's ice cream, not uhhhh something else. So a fun experience for sure, though definitely a "can do" experience if you're tired of gelatto, not a "must eat" place.

Tourist trap.

A delicious, convenient stop for homemade gelato in Venice. We stumbled across this gelateria by…read moreaccident and decided to indulge in a few scoops. The gelato was excellent and handmade (when in Italy, make sure you look for the word "artigianale" which means it is homemade on the premises) and reasonably priced. I think we paid less than 3 euros for two large scoops of gelato. There aren't any seats, this is just a walk-up stand. There were all sorts of flavors available and the employee behind the counter was kind, even with us communicating in broken Italian. This shop is located near the Grand Canal and in a major shopping district yet it didn't feel too touristy (no "tourist cone" rip-off scams here). A great place to stop for a quick bite of gelato.

Grom was always my fave place in the Wevil, NYC, but I wanted to try something new since it's a chain. Well, luckily for me I stumbled upon this place that had zero reviews (odd). For two flavours you must order a medium at 2,50 euros which seemed to be a Florence-Venice small but the cones were fresh and delicious. The girl working there was quite patient with my photos and testing and she told me that they had two locations. I noticed that they had lots of sorbets and frozen yogurt from a machine, but of course I stuck with my standby hazelnut and chocolate which I love, and the rest of the selection seemed smaller than the usual. The gelato was stored properly in stainless steel bins which made it seem more authentic and more fresh than the pile-it-high places. It did drip fast but if you are quick you can turn right upon leaving and sit in Campo San Margarita square on one of the few benches to eat. Just watch for the pigeons and little Italian ladies who might steal the end of your bench and leave you very little room while they merrily complete their crosswords (which was pretty funny). Luckily for us, we did not get hit by anything and it was such a nice break from all of the cars and Vespas that we previously had to dodge in Roma and Firenze!
