Loved this place! Had the absolute best flavors in the city and we deemed it our favorite! Service was great and fast and this is a pretty popular spot in the city. Environment was nice. Limited seating but there are beautiful places in the area to sit and enjoy. Can't wait to come back here!
Wow! I can see why this gelato place is so popular. The flavors are so unique and rich. We went back twice! First time I got the sesame fig and it was delicious. The sesame flavor is very light almost masked by the fig, but the fig flavor brings out such a natural sweetness and I really enjoyed it. Second time I got the yogurt passion fruit. If you like tart Vietnamese yogurt, it has that essence. It was tart fruity and overall refreshing.
Had the hazelnut ice cream per a friend's recommendation and it was excellent. Be prepared to stand in a long line. I was lucky and went earlier in the day so the line was relatively short. Staff was very friendly and quick to serve. The shop is pretty small and only fits a few people at a time so be ready to go in and out quickly. They have a QR code to link to the menu so you can see the options while waiting in line. I really liked the edible cup and both cup or cone options come with the cookie on top.
We tried Gelatoteca Suso on a recent trip to Europe and it was perhaps the best shop we visited! I was concerned that the hype would make a visit less enjoyable but the inhouse special flavors, thoughtful ambiance and efficient friendly service made the entire experience top notch! I got the best combination of Suso (double caramel with an infusion of toffee) and Bagigi peanut (pb cream filled with salted peanuts dipped in salted caramel). It was pure heaven!! The best way to celebrate the close of a hot Venetian day!
There are many culinary musts when in Italy like getting amazing pizza and pasta, but not many are absolute needs like gelato. On a hot day in Venice, there are few better ways to cool off than by stopping by Suso for some of the best gelato you can possibly find. The line was long in the busy little alley in front but went by fast as the service was quick to match. I got a marostica cone which is pistachio gelato with almonds and Amarena cherries. It was rich, creamy, and made absolutely fresh. An absolute highlight of visiting Venice and a must stop on a sunny or cloudy day alike.
Seeing this all over socials I thought it was going to be all hype. Its not. They have a great variety of flavors with a good mixture being traditional and more artisanal. I'm more traditional with my choices with my favorites being pistachio and lemon. But on one trip (yes there were many trips here) I notices one called sepa. It's a lemon/chocolate mixture of some sort. OMFG I've dreamed about it everyday since I've been back in the states. I wish Suso would open here.
**Review for Gelatoteca Suso** Rating: While vacationing in Venice during the hottest time of the year, I desperately needed something to cool me off. I stumbled upon Gelatoteca Suso and decided to treat myself to some creamy gelato. I went with the Opera gelato on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The flavor was reminiscent of a Ferrero Rocher--rich, nutty, and utterly delicious. Did it actually cool me off in this sweltering heat? Not really, but it was tasty :) I'll definitely be stopping by again before I head to my next destination in Europe. If you're in Venice, Gelatoteca Suso is a must-try for any gelato lover! Welp...onto the next!
Found this amazing gelato spot thanks to Yelp. Place was very cool, great flavor selections. Staff moved long lines in an orderly fashion. Gelato was nicely displayed. Most importantly perhaps, it tasted fantastic. I'm putting this review in a few weeks after having it but I still remember the quality of the pistachio and chocolate flavors. Truly excellent!
Suso is probably the most instagram famous gelato spot in Venice so expect a line, but they do move quickly and the unique flavors are quite worth it. You can look up the flavors on their website (qr code posted right outside the shop) before you get to the front of the line to help keep it moving. I chose maybe an incompatible flavor combo- one scoop Suso (toffee/caramel) and one scoop cheescake without really thinking that they would eventually blend together, so if I ever go back I would try to choose flavors that work better together. That being said- the actual gelato was great, very creamy and delicious. There is not really anywhere nearby to sit and enjoy it though, you have to get it to go and eat while walking.

This gelato was amazing! This was our first gelato in Italy and I read a review that said the Manet tastes like Nutella. I was skeptical because I haven't had any frozen treat ever that actually tasted like Nutella. This did though and it was divine. Little salt crystals provided the perfect counterbalance to the sweetness of the chocolate hazelnut and the pistachio added extra nuttiness. Definitely go to this place! read more
Delicious! we got the renowned pistaccio gelato and it was worth it...in fact we got it 3x in 2 days...vacation, am I right? If we get the chance to go back to Venice we will absolutely be returning here. Our favorite gelato shop! read more
Delicious gelato!!! I've eaten gelato at least twice each day while in Italy (not embarrassed lol), this is one of my favorites that I've had! Tell-tell signs of good gelato I've learned is the coloring and making sure the gelato is not as tall as a skyscraper when in the tub. Unfortunately a lot of places supply the "gelato" with mountain high rubs and unnatural colors. This place doesn't do either one of those, the gelato appears to be fresh and natural and tastes great! They give you an adorable little wafer on top which makes for a great photo by the canal located about 30seconds around the corner from the shop. If in Venice definitely hit this place up, I feel like this is one of the quality places that I've been to. It's busy typically but worth the wait for sure, don't let the line scare you and they are pretty quick to which helps. And I believe they take both cash and card, they have fair pricing. read more
The staff was so friendly and answered all of our questions about what some flavors were because they were primarily written in Italian. We were so impressed but how patient and helpful they were, especially because there was a bit of a line. They also let us sample a couple as well, without us even asking! The cheesecake flavor was INCREDIBLE, and the cookies mixed in are a yummy caramelly flavor and there was a fruity swirl. My mom got dark chocolate flavor which she said was rich and delicious if you like dark chocolate. It is kind of hard to find- it's on the corner of the street that it shows it's in the middle of. So be sure to keep walking until you find it...worth it! read more

Gelatoteca Suso is a must in Venice if you are craving proper Italian gelato. They have a mix of creative and authentic flavors, the staff is friendly, and the presentation is beautiful. There's a reason why this place has been written up internationally. It's delicious! read more

Forth trip to Italy. This is the best gelato I've had. Try the Manet (salted pistachio w chocolate flavor). Amazing !!!! read more
Great little spot a few corners around by the Rialto bridge. The lines can get a bit long during peak hours. With all the different flavors, it was definitely hard to pick just 2. I ended up trying the tiramisu and mimosa flavor. The tiramisu flavor was done quite well, both creamy and not too sweet. The mimosa on the other hand was a bit bland. It was almost just trying gelato with no flavoring. However the staff was nice even though being overwhelmed. I definitely recommend this spot when stopping by Venice. read more
Does Italy do anything wrong? Best gelato I've ever had hands down! I had the one called opera which was hazelnut and dark chocolate and had to come back the next day for more. It's a very small space and the lines are literally out the door. The portion size is just right and it's reasonably priced. If in Venice make sure to grab some, you won't regret it! read more
Decent gelato, rude staff. Spoke about us in Italian, saying we had already sampled three flavors. Didn't realize we couldn't sample, even when there's a sign outside saying to come in and sample flavors. The first of the 3 I tried, Noce & Fichi (Walnut and Fig) started out great, was creamy and a unique flavor. Ultimately, I didn't pick this flavor, as it left an unpleasant alcohol-like after taste. Tiramisu is my usual go to flavor, but I wasn't feeling that sample, as it lacked flavor. My 3rd and final sample was called Crema del Doge. It was coffee gelato, with chocolate swirled in and topped with rice crispies. Luckily, I did enjoy this one, as this was when one of the associates made the snarky remark about the samples and about us not being ready. We had been there all but 2 minutes. The coffee gelato in Crema de Doge was mild, chocolate yummy, and I enjoyed the contrast and crunch of the crispies. It wasn't good enough to tolerate the rude behavior to come back, however. What a shame. read more

On our first night in Venice, the craving for gelato hit, so we went to Suso. The gelato is very good, especially with the caramel flavor I got. The prices are reasonable for the area as well, and I enjoyed the edible cup. The portions are a tad small (at least for this sweet tooth), but for what you get it's enjoyable. read more

The best Gelato I had in Italy! Long lines but it is worth it. Tried the pistachio gelato and my girl tried the strawberry cheese cake and mimosa flavors. You had to spend over 10 euros to use your card so we also ordered a mango smoothie. It was perfect. read more

I set of to 5 Italian cities (Venice, Rome, Florence, Siena, Pisa) to find the best gelato and this was the winner!!!! Such unique and amazing flavors that have the ability to fulfill anyone's gelato expectations. My personal favorite was the cherry pistachio, a combination of my favorite flavors that complimented each other quite nicely. The chocolate raspberry was also amazing. Highly recommend. read more

After reading reviews on yelp, I was very excited to try the gelato here. When we got there, the line was out the door, so it seemed like it would live up to the hype. Unfortunately, we were a little let down. I got the chocolate which was not the best I've had. My sister had tiramisu which was okay and my mom got the passionfruit which tasted really artificial. Maybe it was the flavors we chose, but the gelato was a little underwhelming. Not the best we've had in Italy, but not terrible either. read more

Went here as it was listed in Lonely Planet's Italy guide for Venice. I tried the pistachio but it really wasn't to my taste, so I got the fig and walnut as recommended by the lonely planet guide and this was really delicious! My brother got the chocolate and this was pretty good too, but I have had better. BTW, you can only get to taste one variety of gelato, which kinda sucked cause I would have liked to get to try some of the other flavours, but maybe next time. read more

Gelatos were good. Ordered pistachios and tiramisu. Lines were long so I assume it was of good quality. Went looking for this place since I saw the good reviews in YELP. Pretty spot on. If you're from the US, this is worth to try. read more

A dynamic variety of flavors, but not as tasty as it looked. The two flavors I ordered had cookies inside of them, but they somewhat ruined the gelato's taste. Flavors were interesting, but not lifechanging. read more

Went 3 times in 2 days. If you don't go while in Venice, there is something wrong with you. Easily the best gelato in the world. Yup. read more
Best gelato ever. It's not even worth trying other places. The Manet was heaven!!! Also love the notanera- berry with a chocolate ganache which was vegan?!?! Amazing. Also the chocolate and lemon one was so good but forgot the name! read more

We've tried a few gelato places either after lunch or dinner. By far this was the best gelato in town. Omg, get the Pistachio! It's really good! A little expensive than other places but worth it. Coconut and mango are also good. read more
