Very good ice-cream although not generous in terms of quantity. Some tastes provided are local like Tiramisu which was very good as well as Straciatella. read more

This is a must visit place for Italian ice cream.. Very delicious pistachio flavor and many other unique flavors to choose from, huge scoops at very low price considering its quality and its location. We were being recommended here by a local student. read more

Every time we passed by we noticed a huge line here so we decided after dinner we would stop here for dessert. We were lucky and there was no line in the early evening! The staff were very friendly as we didn't speak Italian and did not understand some of the flavors. They were patient as we decided on a flavor. They do offer for you to try any flavors you like. We chose Suso which was toffee and caramel. Highly recommend! I wish we had gotten more of it and less of the waffle cone as we did only 1 scoop. I was unimpressed with the waffle cone but the gelato was fantastic. Definitely worth a stop but it's up to you if you want to wait in a long line though it should move quickly. read more

Best gelato ever!! We came here 4 times in the 3 days we stayed here I recommend getting the cheesecake and the vegan raspberry dark chocolate. Costs a little more extra bc they're special flavors but soo worth. They have so many unique flavors that you wouldn't find just anywhere. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Venice read more

Cash only. Popular gelato spot in Venice. Creamy, flavorful and delicious. Close to Rialto bridge. Nice refreshing way to cool down amidst the tourists and shops. read more

Delicious flavors, the line moves quick. If you want broad flavor choices this is great. If you just want creamy gelato, there are a lot of other options in Venice. Not sure why this is often called the best. read more

BEST (okay 2nd best) GELATO i've ever had, but so so good! the lines can be a bit long but so worth the wait, prices are very fair as well. $10 EURO or more they take card, a huge variety of flavors and cones to choose from and they also have slushies and other drinks. It can be a bit tough to find but look for the long line of people! read more

OMGGGG! I'm a gelato (& pretty much all things ice cream related) aficionado, and I must say-this is probably the best I've ever eaten...the flavors are so unique & delicious. I had 2 flavors; one called 'Noce Fichi' 'walnut/fig', and one I don't quite remember the name of, but believe it was called Orient Express (?) or something of the sort which was cookie, cinnamon, and ginger. Both flavors were absolutely amazing and for reference, I don't like figs or ginger! Lol. I got there with no line, but that changed within two minutes. I'm going back tomorrow! read more

One of our first stops upon arrival in Venice, Italy for our honeymoon, and it did not disappoint! Crowded but efficient, this gelato gem is a must! Numerous flavors abound, as do cone options. Staff is friendly and helpful. I had the pistachio (amazing) combined with a scoop of a fruit flavor (I don't remember it's name, but it was recommended by the server and was tart and refreshingly delicious!). I had some sort of dark cone, which tasted like an epically good regular cone, while the hubby had a practical cone bowl. These gelato receptacles were obviously hand made with care! Come marvel at the beauty and creamy perfection of this Italian treat. read more

Items Selected: Cherry Panettone Gianduia and Pistachio Nougat / Pure Pistachio with Cherries / Fig and Walnut / Straciatella Located within eyeshot of Rosticceria Gislon and considered by many to be one of Venice's best shops for Gelato Naturale, SuSo Gelato at Calle della Bissa 5453 takes a more 'American' look at the frozen concoction by way of flavors in-tune with the creative artisanal movement, a total of eighteen varieties set to rotate daily with no batch ever older than 24-hours as the location near Rialto Bridge assures a steady crowd. No doubt newer than the likes of Ca D'Oro or Alaska, and using some modern machinery to generate flavors that creatively augment classics without straying too far or compromising texture in any way, a look at the line at SuSo should give potential patrons a good idea of just what they are getting themselves into, the tasting this time skipped given the never-ending push of traffic, a total of four scoops instead selected along with one of four styles of freshly baked Panettone. Sold at €1,60 per ball, larger orders discounted slightly and served in an edible bowl, first tastes of SuSo shows the product to be good yet somewhat inconsistent, the base creamy and smooth as relates to the Hazelnut-Chocolate topped in a layer of dense Pistachio Nougat while the natural flavors of Organic Pistachio saw the Cherry topping create some icy pockets, the bittersweet Fig and Walnut as well as Straciatella both well constructed, though failing to clear the high-bar set by other spots in town. Melting quickly and thus eaten partly as a blend of favors as creamy droplets tumbled toward the ground, it was later in line for Doge's Palace that the sweet Bread made for sharing was unwrapped and thoroughly investigated, a nut-speckled golden exterior quick to give way to a fluffy brioche interior densely populated with Kirsch marinated Cherries, a great deal of restraint proving necessary to avoid overindulging in the whole round. read more

I wasn't a huge fan of this gelato shop. It was very busy which was a good sign but the flavors of the gelato were just not as flavorful as I would want them to be. The texture of the gelato was good but the flavors were not. If you want the legitimate gelato, you gotta make your way down to Florence! read more

Very yummy gelato with lots of variety. Prices were good for the amount of gelato you would get. They offer regular gelato and sorbet as well. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this gelato! The Suso flavor is caramel goodness and the overall texture and taste are some of the best I've ever had! We have lived here for five years and this might be my favorite gelato shop and all of Italy that we have experience so far. There is usually a decent size line, but they are very efficient and the line moves quickly. So, don't let that keep you from stopping in and having one of the best experiences ever with gelato. The cherry and pistachio is another crowd favorite. So, far my favorite is the combination of cappuccino and suso. I've also tried suso with the peanut butter and it's delicious as well. read more

The gelato was incredible. We went here because it had really high ratings, and now we understand why. We loved it so much we went here multiple times. I definitely recommend getting the suso (toffee and caramel) flavor and the roasted salted pistachio with chocolate. The suso is better if you just like sweet, and the pistachio is better if you like some salty and savory. I'm not a gelato expert, but theirs was just better than any other I've had. It's light but still creamy, packed with flavor without being too sweet. It's perfect. read more

2018-09-07. So Gelato is Gelato right? Well in most cases it is, but not this time... this is the 5th gelato I've had since arriving in Venice yesterday, and the first four were not even notable enough to warrant a check in. They weren't bad, but they were generic-like, almost as if they all ordered it from the same supplier. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they all take pride in their product so they all make their own. With that said, let's just say they all followed really similar recipes. Suso is a little more difficult to find, as is with most places in the labyrinth we call Venice, but it's on Yelp now, so just follow the map. If you don't have WiFi or a data plan, go to the Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto). The bridge has three parallel crossover paths that run NE to SE. The north and south paths have views of the canal, but the center does not. The south path always has sun on it durning the day, and the other two dont, so that should give you some bearings. Use the center path and cross over to the side where Hard Rock cafe is (south east for all you trackers out there). Once over the bridge continue on that same path (SE) until you reach a plaza with a statue of Carlo Goldoni (he'll be on your left). Walk past Carlo and take your first right. It's a tiny alley, but trust me it's there. There will be a neon sign above its entryway with the word "ROSTICCE". Go in there, you'll jog left a tad, but then you'll see it right in front of you. The name is not visible outside the shop, you'll have to look on the back wall for it. Now that I've spent my entire review on how to get there, I'll end it with the two flavours that really wowed me, the Vegan NotaNero (Raspberry, Dark Chocolate), and the Marostica (Pistachio and Amarene) -- a pairing I would never have thought of. Amarene is a dark colored bitter cherry from Bologna or Modena and is often used with rich chocolatey desserts. After four just OK gelato from the plethora of places in Venice, Suso gets the notable mark from me, my 17th 5 star rating. Congratulations Suso! Fantastico! What sets Suso apart from all the others I've tried so far is their flavour selection. They carry flavours that others simply don't. They're creative and they change things up in addition to keeping the most popular and usual suspects. Bravissimo! I've added plenty of pictures on how to find the place, and a map in hopes of sharing my hidden gem with others. I'd also like to warn you that both flavours I mentioned are specialty flavours. They were at a premium cost, but I'm not sure if they're temporary or not. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Buon Appetito! read more

Dairy Free Review. I'm so happy to have tried their pistachio gelato. It was a flavor I've never found dairy free! It was amazing!

I really do believe this is the second best gelato in Italy. Suso is tucked away in a corner and it took us a while to find it because originally the address on Yelp was misleading. Anyway, we looked up the address via their website and found it. It's inexpensive gelato with a variety of flavors. It's really delicious. I got a scoop and proceeded to enjoy it considering I missed out on a prepaid gondola ride because our lunch ran too long. It's a nice consolation dessert but we were still pretty bitter about the whole situation. Thank goodness for great gelato. Fast service, but hard to find location. Totally worth it. read more

It's so good. We came here based on the Yelp reviews, and it looks like that's why everyone else is here too. Had the Manet during the first visit, and it was good. Husband really liked the salted pistachio layer that's on top, and said it felt like he was eating butter. I liked the hazelnut on the bottom, so it worked out for us! At our second visit, we had the caramel and it was also awesome. The gelato is so thick that I wish they had cardboard/paper cups. The ice cream cones kept breaking. Perhaps it's to help curb the waste? We saw locals ordering in these styrofoam rectangular containers. Looks like a great option if you have a fridge! read more

All gelato is the same, right? WRONG!!! Suso is absolutely hands down the BEST gelato I've ever had in Italy (my boyfriend and I were in Italy for 17 days and visited 13 cities/towns so that's saying something)! Although it's tucked away in the streets of Venice, there's usually a long line outside so you can't miss it. Our absolute favorite flavor here was Tiramisu. My boyfriend also really liked the Mint Chocolate Chip. You can tell that the flavors are natural and not industrially made - absolutely DELICIOUS!! The prices are reasonable (a little over 2 euro for 1 scoop) and the portions are very generous. You're allowed to sample one flavor as well. They give you a waffle chip if you get more than 2 scoops, but we asked for it and each got one in our 1 scoop cones. read more

So after a disastrous lunch situation that made us miss a PREPAID gondola ride with our tour group, after going inside Basilica di Marco, we found this place tucked away in the corner. Boy were we happy to find it. Out of all the gelato places we all went to while in Italy, this was 2nd only to Giolitti's in Rome. For 2 Euro (1.50 Euro for most of the flavors but the one I got was 2 Euro) I got a decent sized scoop of pistachio gelato in a cone cup. Well that's one way to be green. There is no seating in the place, it really is mainly the gelato counter. There are a lot of flavors to choose from. Please take a moment to look at their website. http://www.gelatovenezia.it/Sito/home.html Their official address is this, but we got lost trying to find it because it's actually on the corner of Calle San Bartolomeo and Calle della Bissa. Thank goodness for their website, otherwise we would have missed out on this gem. Our tour manager even took down their details so that he could check it out the next time he was back in Venice. read more

Mmmm gelato... I ate way too much of this in Italy and now I'm paying for it. I couldn't help myself, these shops are everywhere and they all look so good! :( Anyway, what I loved about Suso is that they had waffle cups, as well as waffle cones, but I was really intrigued by the cup. It really is way better than a cone because then you don't have the problem of having to quickly lick all the drippings. Fantastic. I did two flavors: Hazelnut & Stracciatella. Mmmmm... it was AMAZING! read more

My review of this place is going to be based off of a short-lived experience. No one really cares about this story, but it's almost midnight, and here I am on Yelp, so: After a day of wandering around Venice and the subsequent accumulation of 25,000 steps, my husband and I got to our water taxi stop with 25 minutes to spare until it arrived. Well, we thought, let's try out this gelateria we've seen raving reviews for. Oh wait, it's 13 minutes away? Let's walk it! Off we bustled, "scusi"-ing our way throughout the masses of tourists and arriving a few minutes ahead of Google Map's estimation. Pistachio!-I cried out, and then, cute little scoop in cup in hand, I was about to take a generic gelato-against-wall photo and have my first lick when my husband hollered that we must hurry as the taxi would arrive soon, and so off we went again. After a thousand "scusi"s and a few close encounters with watching my gelato pitch over the side of a bridge, we arrived at the dock... with minutes to spare. Needless to say, my gelato was largely melted, and my fear of missing the taxi quite ruined my experiential appreciation for the gelato. I'm sure it was good. I'm sure it was fine. Whatever it was, my husband and I drank it up as I internally pouted and wondered why the gelateria didn't give me a cute little waffle hat for my scoop. So what do I know? Flavor was decent, line was non-existent, service was speedy, and the resulting texture was not their fault. Fin. read more

Yummy gelato! But, I'm not quite sure I believe all of the hype for this place. Being in Italy, you've got to have some good gelato at least once a day everyday, and so it was time for our gelato stop of the day. We noticed we were close by and I have had my eye on suso, so we started towards suso. Man this place is hard to find! It's in a tiny alleyway that is shaded and hidden. We finally found our way there, and there was indeed a line out the door. Following the advice of others, I ordered the pistachio and amarene flavor. I don't really know why the color was such a bright green, so that was a bit of a turn off. But the flavors and the textures were great! I liked how the pistachio was nutty and sweet and the cherry was very sour and fragrant. Great flavor! I'm not really a gelato connoisseur, so I'm just using my limited abilities to judge the quality, but it was good! Worth a try. read more

A must try when in Venice! Creamy, delicious, and affordable. Delicious gelato! Really creamy. I can't decide whether I like Grom Gelato or this better. They are both amazing! It's only 1.60 Euros for 1 scoop of a regular flavor (cup or plain waffle cone cost the same), or 2 Euros for 1 scoop of a premium flavor. Very affordable. It's a very small shop. There were 2 seats available, no tables though. I wouldn't recommend eating in the shop because if there are even 6 people in the shop it feels really crowded. There are also some baked goods, of which one kind was available to sample on a covered dish on the counter. read more

Blindly following the New York Times' recommendation to visit Suso, we navigated Venice's narrow and charming alleys to find it from a few sestieri away. When I saw the incredible flavor combinations and bright colors of the gelato, my tummy was feral with longing to try them all. The gelato was simply amazing, and probably my favorite of our trip. The Manet, a blend of gianduja (hazelnut + chocolate) and a salty, almost butterlike pistachio paste, was something else, with the creaminess of the gianduja cutting through the saltiness of the pistachio. Paired with a walnut and fig gelato, I sat outside next to a small canal in the sun and slowly savored each bite. Almost equally as blissful were the many other flavors. We came two days in a row, and the other highlights were the Opera flavor (more hazelnuts and chocolate) and the namesake Suso flavor with toffee bits. I loved the Pistachio butter so much I bought a small jar, which was later very close to being confiscated at the airport in Rome. The struggle is real. I am looking forward to dolloping some atop ice cream here at home, closing my eyes, clicking my feet, and visually transporting myself back to Venezia. read more

pricey but amazing gelato and great service! would recommend if in the area. loved the pistachio and salted caramel!!

Extremely popular and delicious gelato! Had to wait in line among both tourists and locals but it was worth the wait. I tried the pistachio berry and tiramisu flavors and I loved both. All the gelato in Italy has been wonderful but I think this one is definitely a standout in Venice. There's also a nearby canal for your Venice gelato pic ;) read more

Suso is another one of those gelaterias that I didn't seek out, but found while walking the narrow streets of Venice near the Rialto Bridge. Suso is a high end gelato shop that doesn't feel like it when you open your wallet. The store is big enough on the inside to allow customers to walk in and order but it's best to take the gelato outside and enjoy it while walking the streets. Suso's gelato is of a very high quality. They sell typical flavors and some that are a bit more fun. On my visit I tried their mint gelato in a cone. The flavor tasted very natural, with a mint sweetness that was fresh and effervescent. With my cone and gelato for my wife, our total bill came out to a reasonable €3. While Suso may not serve the best gelato in Venice, I would rank it very highly in the gelato pantheon, and it's an obvious choice if you are near the Rialto. read more

We got lost for about an hour trying to find this place - it is REALLY tucked away in an alley. Second best gelato after Giolitti and tied with Gracchi, both in Rome. This is also a denser, creamier gelato and their flavors are incredibly interesting and intense. We went twice and had about 6 flavors all of which rocked. Pistachio and cherry? Genius. Waffle cones? Um, yes! Absolutely worth running around in circles for half your time in Venice for this gelato. read more

I was told by my serious-minded private tour guide, who was born in Venice, that this is the best gelato shop in Venice. Since she seemed like a person not given to overstatement, I figured I ought to try it out. I had 3 scoops in a plain crispy cup for 5,60€. Not cheap, but the flavors were very unusual, very rich and incredibly delicious. One was called "Manet" and had pistachios. Another flavor had a layer of coffee gelato on top of dark chocolate. The last was a rich vanilla. They were all absurdly good. The woman behind the counter in a red apron and sailor hat was super nice and gave us tastes of 5 different flavors. She must do this a thousand times a day, but still made us feel like this was our special day to visit the most amazing gelato shop in the world. And it almost certainly is that. If you like gelato, you must eat here. Warning: Coming here, you take a serious risk of spoiling your taste buds forever. As far as your dopamine receptors are concerned, these gelato flavors are indistinguishable from heroin. Like anything else that is good in Venice, you will have to navigate the maze that is Venice to find it. But it's worth getting lost a few (dozen...) times to find this amazing place. read more

Suso - Gelato of heroin intensity. You have been warned. - Desserts Near Me - Venezia, VE

One year has passed, and I have had a lot of gelato across Italy, and this place is still my number 1 or number 2. I would go back to Venice just to go here. They were open late. We went after dinner (italian dinner, ending just before midnight) and rushed here through tiny alleyways and over many footbridges. Much of Venice gets quite creepy afterndark, but it was totally worth it. Get a cone and get 2 scoops. You won't regret it. read more

Our first taste of gelato in Venice and we were very happy, so much that we came back more than once and it was not a close walk from our AirBnB, so hope that says a lot for this great tasting place. Friendly staff even during busy late night hours. It is tucked away down a shopping street and it seems locals also visit often. Must taste and enjoy! read more

Suso is a very popular gelato place in Venice. We were lucky there was no line at the time we went in, but as soon as we checked out, the place got packed!! There were usually tons of people around just digging their gelato, as there are no seating area. The service is good...staffs are helpful. I liked the tiramisu flavor. I can't really speak whether it is the best gelato in Venice because I didn't try any other place. Price is definitely set for tourists. read more

We were told about this place by a waitress at a restaurant we ate at. It was tricky to find, as everything else is in Venice. After we did find it, we went here every day. It is simply amazing. I am not actually a huge fan of gelato. I prefer hard and very frozen ice cream. This had flavors that were out of this world amazing. The only one I remember the name of was the Opera and it was the nutella flavor. There was so much Nutella in it! There was an incredible pistachio was salt and the coffee with chocolate one was out of this world. Almost too rich. It was a great price at only 2 euro for a very generous scoop in a wafer cup. Highly recommend! read more

You know those places you try once and instantly fall in love with? Well Suso is one of those. Only a short walk away from where we were staying, we visited this gelateria every day at least once.... sometimes twice! It was a little tricky to find, but definitely worth the trip! They have several flavors, some of which rotate daily. My personal favorites were the forest fruit and dark chocolate, while my wife liked the mint and milk chocolate. I honestly don't think you could go wrong no matter what flavor you chose. Unlike many other shops, they allow you to try any flavor you want, a refreshing burst of customer service. The ice cream was so creamy and flavorful, I always was left wanting more. Excellent, excellent gelato! read more

Suso - Fantastic gelato in Venice; the best I have ever had. - Desserts Near Me - Venezia, VE

As a foreigner, I am accustomed to the overly sweet, sugary, and often artificial flavors offered by American ice cream brands. Not so with Suso. This was life-changing gelato. No other frozen dessert will ever live up to their Manet flavor - a creamy, rich, and flavorful mix of salty pistachio and gianduja, which is a chocolate/hazelnut spread popularized in France and Italy. Think Nutella, but with more chocolate. When combined with the fragrant, persistent nuttiness of the pistachio, they formed the most heavenly and vivid scoop I imagine I will ever have. Pair it with any of their other flavors. You can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor and buy a plane ticket to Venice. I hear October's off-season. Luckily... gelato is never off season. read more
