Definitely not 66 flavors...48ish is more exact. Milk flavors in one case and sorbetto in the other. Plenty of variety still. Lots of Maple syrup and other maple flavored items along with a large variety of Canadian candies. Small shop, not a place to sit and enjoy. The employees were overwhelmed which was all over their faces. Had about 5 behind the counter and about 2 serving up the scoops for the long line. One employee loudly asked her coworkers why it was so crazy...well it's 730pm on a Sunday with a cruise ship in port. While most other shops were closed this was one of the few open on a hot day providing a cool treat. I enjoyed the cone and ice cream - belgium cookie crunch. read more

didnt like that they dont do samples, how are you gonna know if you like it but cant try it plus the kids working behind the counter are scooping the gelato without gloves, talking to other walk ins without directing all the attention to the customer who walked in and is giving their business i also didnt like the disrespect from the kids behind the counter to my aunt in line obviously coming off with bad demeanor and pointing down to the register! probably wont come back bc the gelato also has freezer burn! no seats and just a quick moving tourist attraction read more

The price is right, the service was spot on, a fun place to have fun food, do not miss this place

I may have accomplished a lifelong goal of finding the best gelato there is. There aren't *quite* 66 flavors here, but there are an abundance of flavors including unique ones such as Spumoni. I tried both tiramisu and matcha. Both were ridiculously creamy, decadent and perfectly sweet. The tiramisu was particularly tasty - I'm usually skeptical of desserts that try to emulate other desserts but this was incredible. If you like caramel flavored desserts/ it's a must try. I visited both days in Victoria and will most certainly be returning the next time I am there. read more

My daughter was really wanting some ice cream so we walked by this place. There a group of 3 younger gentlemen inside being helped, possibly friends of the young lady working. When it was our turn our daughter asked to taste one of the flavors and we were told they no longer were doing samples. Not surprisingly the three people in front of us were all holding sampling spoons. Was very disappointed that we were blatantly lied to and my 7 year old ended up picking a flavor she did not like. Would not recommend for the service one tiny bit. There are plenty of other places around to spend your money. read more

Go to a gelato shop and not get gelato? Crazy, I know, but there is much more than just gelato here! This is like a gift shop of goodies, treats, sweets and snacks all in the name of Canada! Of course, given the touristic area, it makes sense, but there is some genuine stuff here. After taking a look around, we saw the maple cookies being sold both in boxes and individually or loose. 5 cookies were $2 so we chose three maple cookies and two of the chocolate cream cookies. The chocolate cream cookies were no big deal. The cookie itself was crispy but the chocolate cream was a bit too fluffy and not chocolatey enough. On the other hand, the maple cookies were delicious. The cookies were great and the maple filling really tasted like maple! A good amount of cream and a nice bite each time. Service is great too, many friendly employees helping out whoever and however they can. read more

We made a $12 purchase for one specialty cone with two scoops of gelato While that seemed outrageous - we were unaware of how fast the gelato would melt. Upon realizing the gelato was on a steady drip, I asked the cashier for a cup and a spoon so the item could be managed and ENJOYED. They denied us twice. Really? At least offer to have us buy a cup for 25 cents or something. Thanks for the outstanding customer services. If your budget is this tight, perhaps consider closing down. read more

A great stop anytime for some great tasting and refreshing gelato! Oh Gelato offers 66 flavours of gelato to choose from plus candy, taffy, cookies, gifts, Italian sodas, and souvenirs. They stock Maple Cream Cookies, yummy!!! Free samples are given on the gelato. The scoops are small, just under $6 for a two scoop dish, but soooo good! Outdoor sidewalk seating out front. read more

This was a "decent" gelato shop. More of a tourist stop, as the comically high price for a scoop of, again, decent gelato, made clear. It is good, just make sure you know what you're willing to pay and how important gelato is to you for that price point. Make sense? Ball's in your court. read more

As the front of the Gelato place was the Shuttle pick up spot, we had to try their gelato! They allowed us to try several flavors which were all delicious! We got two scoops (pistachio and banana) which were perfection! I love that they weren't overly sweet yet full of flavor. If you're in the area, you have to try this place out. Totally worth it!! read more

Huge disappointment to what should have been a tasty ice cream stop on a hot day. At $ 7 per scoop we would definitely expect better. The ones we chose had no flavour. 'Lemon death' didn't taste like lemon at all just like fat and sugar. The lime sorbet also had no flavour. We both had a couple spoonfuls and then tossed it in the garbage, something we have never done before. With tax and tips that was a waste of almost 18 dollars. We sincerely hope that the other 64 flavours are better, can not recommend the above mentioned. read more

The ice cream is so icey and bland. I ordered a basic chocolate flavour and couldn't have a second bite. Overpriced and rude staff :/

Had some great gelato here. Decent amount of flavors and the staff were super nice. Located right on one of the main streets, it's super central to the waterfront area. Definitely recommend it! read more

This has got to be the worst gelato on the planet. Gritty and tasteless. Customer service is just as appalling. Asked for refund or exchange and both were a no go. There are better places to get ice cream in Victoria than this poor excuse of ice cream. Not authentic, overpriced and just because they are on Government Street, they think they have unlimited access to future victims of this slop read more

Flavors are 5 star! Serving size is 1 star. Ave 3 star. The gelato is presented in the window in decent scoop sizes, but don't be tricked into thinking that's what you're getting. The scoops are about half. So, if I go again, I'd confirm the scoop shown is what you get and try the Belgian Chocolate flavor.... AMAZING! read more

Oh Gelato! is just a little hole in the wall store off Government that has lots of flavors to choose from. The place doesn't just do gelato though; they sell all kinds of sweets inside including fudge, syrup, candy, cookies and salt water taffy. They also serve these weird pie things on a stick (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oh-gelato-victoria?select=iTfHXmDPZFOtLuxgzUQYbQ). You're allowed to sample one of their many flavors before committing to one, it's hard to pick since they have lots of unusual flavors. The Guinness beer flavored (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oh-gelato-victoria?select=LvVJ9MI7X0SxZ7-5NCkstw) gelato is the kind of stuff I'm referring to, I didn't try it but it seems like a really weird choice for a flavor. According to the lady behind the counter, all the gelato is made on site and they are cycling fresh flavors constantly. Some of the other reviewers here seemed to complain about the prices, but I didn't really think they were too high. They give you two large generous scoops in a cup with a slice of a waffle cone with your order. The maple walnut seemed like a popular local Canadian flavor, so I went with that and some cookies&cream (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oh-gelato-victoria?select=Jnjy6X5aRfTe0cfzWBk_tA). The gelato here was really good stuff, had great creamy texture and a balanced sweetness to it. The walnut crunch flavor was good with the subtle maple. Even though I'm not a fan of waffle cones, the single piece of waffle was good too. This was a decent place to get a cold treat for the day. There is no seating inside this place, only a bench on the street outside. As it was pouring rain at the time, I just decided to stand and wait it for to stop while eating my gelato. One weird thing to note is that there is a store almost identical to this one down the way, with a vague name on the outside. They also sell the same products but didn't have nearly as many flavors. read more

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This IS NOT GELATO... It is barely MEDIOCRE ice cream read more

There's nothing not to love about this awesome sweetery!! Not only do they sell candies and cookies and all other kinds of souvenir treats like maple syrup and smoked salmon, but they have awesome gelato and sorbet, all homemade. We stopped in after dinner to grab some sorbet. The only reason I took away one star is because they didn't offer tastes. There were so many choices of sorbet and I was dying to taste gelato but they didn't offer that here. Regardless I ordered mixed berry and blood orange sorbet in a cup and it came with an adorable triangle waffle cookie. My guy got lemon and blueberry and he just loved it. Excellent staff too! We returned today to buy some souvenirs like maple cream cookies and salt water taffies. The prices were a little steep on the sorbet but not so much on the souvenirs so it's still a good deal! Great job!! read more

Cute shoppe with Cute Gelato and Cute Servers. You can't really screw up Gelato and I was impressed with the number of flavors. One suggestion is to get bigger cups, I don't like freezing ice dripping down my hand as walk back to the hotel on a November evening. read more

Oh god, not gelato. This is ice cream that they call gelato to get the extra $. I didn't find any decent Gelato places in BC, Washington or Oregon. read more

Oh Gelato! might be the exclamation that this place utters aspiring to be gelato because what they serve is ice cream, not gelato. However, the selection is good and the pistachio I had was tasty for not gelato. What is it with all these crazy flavours anyway? Bubble Gum... Seriously? Isn't that a flavour for Children's Tylenol? And now real gelato places are getting in on the act too... read more

A little hidden place on government. Surprisingly not as busy as some of the other shops.. Perhaps due to pricing... They now let you buy just a scoop but the double scoop is a better deal. You can also sample some amazing fudge... Value 3/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Service4/5 Quality 3/5 too rich.. read more

Not the cheapest gelato in the world but certainly my favorite. 66 flavors, great dipped cones and candy selection. Walk past the test and get your cool treats here. Spumoni is my go to flavor but they have plenty of other great flavors too. read more

Would have been 1-star if not for the the fact that they were the last sweets place open downtown after 8pm on a weeknight. First off, this isn't gelato. This is ice cream. If I hadn't been to Italy previously, I wouldn't really have known. And it's clear they're duping tourists and getting away with charging $6 for a single scoop of 'OK' ice cream. As ice cream, it actually isn't that bad...probably at least 3 stars. The peanut butter/chocolate was pretty good. My wife had the berry cheese cake and it was pretty OK. I got a dark chocolate bear claw as well. It was clear it had probably been in the case for over a year. You know the whitish dust that accumulates on uneaten chocolate? It had that. I didn't realize it until I got home and was chomping away. And the "caramel" inside had crystallized like a frozen lake from the rigidity of years of lonely isolation behind the glass. You can do better, Oh Gelato. read more

Good selection of gelato. A fun place to try different flavors. Decent service. My only complaint is that the cups are too small for the scoops they serve. We had a huge mess in our hands and something that should have been enjoyable turned into a "hurry up" mess. read more

Absolutely wonderful! A lot of other users complain that this "isn't gelato" and it's "too expensive"-- however, Ice cream doesn't stay in shapes like this (sorry!) and this is a very average price fr Gelato. You also get a nice sized scoop of it for your money. I came here with my husband on a day off. Will definately return again! (PS, they do offer samples of the Gelato-- as many as you'd like. I tried 6. I don't know what others are talking about??) I have a few friends who are regulars as well. I'm always impressed by the friendliness of the staff. read more

A lot of variety!!! It's expensive, taste is good but I have tasted way better and cheaper ice creams. The store is small and every crowded.

Some flavors better than others. Clean and friendly. Felt prices a bit high for the portion size. Overall good and would return

We only tried ice cream and it was pretty bad and very pricey :( (around 6.50 for single scoop in a cup). we tried couple of flavors before settling on something but all of them were quite bad unfortunately. read more

Okay so some flavors aren't gelato... But it's still delicious nonetheless!! It also has a nice selection of nougat candy and cheap saltwater taffy for $5 for a mixed bag. Yes please!! The girls working were very helpful -- they offered samples, were speedy with help, and asked if we needed assistance multiple times. read more
