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!
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.
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.
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.

Amazing gelato but sort of rude service. It's definitely takes the cake for best gelato eating in Italy and it shows by the number of people, especially tourists who come here. The servers were rushing us and it really stressed us out when it came to picky flavors because they were all really good. I ended up getting the limone and black current/pistachio flavor. Wow they were out of this world though. The limome of so tart and sour, while the other flavor was a foodgasm of pistachio and black current. Really really good. Gelato will never be the same. read more
According to our connoisseurs (pictured on the far left) this place was REALLY GOOD, arguably the best gelato in Venice, and they would know. We happened across this spot on our way home from dinner, so load this into Google maps and find it, it is near a small plaza near Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge). The shop is small, but the flavors from all-natural ingredients are plentiful. Do yourself a favor, give this spot a go. read more

How can something so simple be such a highlight of an international trip? Walked here with friends whose tour guide cited this as one of the top gelato spots in Venice. It was crowded, and the baristas are super efficient, which is impressive given how many tourists from so many different countries they get. I only got one scoop of mint gelato, and it was HEAVENLY. It was the perfect light green color that told me nothing was artificial. I love looking at the Gelatoteca Suso Instagram because there's some BEAUTIFUL creations on there. Would totally go out of my way to come here again. read more
"Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon I see the passion in your eyes Sometimes it's all a big surprise..." The desire for authentic Italian gelato hit me like a boyhood crush on Vanessa Williams. Suddenly I was losing all control and I needed some stat! And when that urge hits you... do what all Venetians do... stop whatever you're doing and get some creamy gelato! "'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish You'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned But somehow it's enough..." Gelatoteca Suso was my choice! Not only did they have high ratings, but my Italian Yelp friend urged me to get there before the loneliness hit! This popular spot was not only on the cusp of perfection, but they also have the reputation of using natural ingredients and sourcing locally. Quality that can only be verified by a taste taste, right?! Zigzagging a dozen alleyways, I arrive to maybe a dozen people standing in line. Of course it's always a good sign in Italian Gelato shops. Don't fret as the line moves quickly and allowed me to decide on Pistachio and Tiramisù on Cone as my choice. I mean you can't get more Italiano than the classics! "And now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place?" The pretty Venetian server smiled through her eyes (mask still required entering eateries didn't matter) as she handed me the cone. She knew, I knew, it was all about that moment... of being in love with life! I find the nearest 1,000-year-old bridge and dig in... ohh! Sei piu bella di un angelo! I'm in heaven... "Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last..." This elegant love song is a tale of unrequited love that comes together in the end. The message of the song is that life is full of unexpected events that often lead to what's ultimately for the best. Never lose hope. Maybe that true love is still out there, or at the very least authentic gelato just waiting for you at Gelatoteca Suso in Venezia, Italy... "Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last You went and saved the best for last..." ;) read more

The best gelato i had in venice ! The employees where very friendly ! the shop was very crowded, since it was pretty small , but you got your gelato very fast ! i would recommend going here if youre in venice. read more
Just as good as all the reviews that led us here! There is always a line but it moved very quickly and was worth the wait. It was the only gelato we ate while in Venice so I can't say that it's the best but is sure was delicious! read more
I tried a lot of delicious gelato while in Italy, but the gelato at Suso in Venice was easily the best. It has a rich and creamy finish with plenty of high quality ingredients. The line for this place can be quite long during the middle of the day when most visitors are out and about, but if you go in the morning before eleven or in the evening after dinner you likely won't have to wait as long and they should have more of the flavors available. read more
- Locale Destination - It's on Calle della Bissa and I don't know, by Sotoportego de la Bissa in Venice - super tucked away. But never miss it! I found another location around on the way to St Marco. You must try! Ambiance: a bit fancy but very limited space to be fancy. But you see a long line, so hope you notice this awesome gelato! Service: minimal *** Gelato *** Taste quality: great! Refined. High-end. Flavor varieties: typical but a few more than others. Texture: more solid than others Sweetness: subtle yet enough Overall: the best in Venice! (So far) - Gluttony Expedition - Milk: creamy, rich taste but smooth texture. Elegant. Great. Passion fruit: great! Not too sweet yet bold flavor. Pistachio: very natural and smooth taste. Loved it. chocolate chips: big chunks of chocolate in it. Good. - Conqueror's Deduction - You must hit this place! Great quality and great taste. My best gelato in Venice! ** Gelato ranking in Venice ** 1. Suso 2. Gelato natura 3. Grom read more

Arrived at Suso by a recomendation. It really was good. Gelatos were creamy, tasteful, not on the extreme sweet side. The place is really small, but service was fast. Great place to have a treat ! read more
His is probably the best gelato spot in the city of Venice. I got stracciatella and it was wonderfully creamy and hit the right notes of vanilla and chocolate. I was disappointed they didn't have melone, but this flavor I got was everything right about gelato. read more
First gelato experience--had to get some since every tourist was eating it on the streets! Hence, I came to the nearest top-rated spot I could find on Yelp. It's a small little shop that is open to the public. Service was quick and easy. There was a lot of business, but it was easy to get in and out. A single scoop goes for 2.5 € (collection flavors go for 3 €). A triple scoop goes for 6.5 € unless you got a collection flavor like we did. There were a lot of flavors (that you can preview on their website I just realized), and we chose three on a whim--cappuccino, marosticana, and pistachio absolute. I liked the marosticana the best. This gelato did seem denser than ice cream--as expected. It was sweeter than what I would like as a personal preference, the kind of sweet that makes me reach for water. Perhaps my experience would have changed if I had tried the other flavors or had other gelatos to compare it to. I do like how there were non-dairy options! It was an ok experience--now I can say I had gelato at least once. read more
This place is really good, we came based on the awesome reviews and weren't disappointed! I had the Mango and Mint-Chip Gelato and it was delicious! The ambiance is really nice, it's a cute place that had a line wrapped around the front! read more
We tried so much gelato in Rome, Florence and Venice ( more than 40 scoops of gelato) and this place definitely falls in our top 3. The gelato is very fruity and creamy with perfect texture. The chocolate cone is also amazing and not overwhelming like a lot of places. Our favorite flavor was the passion fruit yoghurt. read more

We stumbled upon this place after dinner and it definitely satisfied our gelato craving! My partner and I each picked a flavor - he chose tiramisu and I chose salted peanut - and they both were delicious. I liked the texture of the cone as well (I'm typically a bowl/cup girl, but figured I'd try it while I was here). It was light and crunchy. read more

Best Gelato in Venice!! I was lucky enough to go early and miss the line but it's worth the line!! read more
I found this place because everyone talks about it so it's definitely a tourist attraction but what part of Venice isn't? Gelato was of course as advertised - AMAZING! And photo worthy! When you leave the little shop, I'd recommend that you be careful where you stand because there are pigeons EVERYWHERE and they will poop on you and laugh. I was targeted but no worries.. it didn't land on my gelato. Also feathers flying everywhere so don't eat right outside the shop. read more

I have never been so in love with Gelato until I tried Suso! The quality of the gelato was superb, the staff were friendly, line was quick and the flavors were amazing!!! It was so good, we came back again the next day! They have 2 locations and are local in Venice so it was very disappointing that when we went to Rome, they didn't have Suso. We got the Opera (amazing flavor!), Nutella, Straciatella and Tiramisu! Do not miss this gem when you visit Venice! read more

THE BEST GELATO EVER!! I only tried the Apple & Cinammon flavor, but it was phenomenal. I had to go back and get it the next day before I left. We also ordered a pistachio gelato frappe, but the consistency was too watery (still good nonetheless). There's always a line, but it goes quickly. Love love love! read more

Suso is hands down my fav gelato place in Italy - and trust me, I had A LOT of gelato while I was there. They have quite a few unique and delicious specialty flavors, and the Sepa flavor - while not everyone's cup of tea - was my fav. They're really good about offering samples, so def try out their specialty flavors before you make a decision. And be adventurous about the flavors you try! You just might be surprised like I was. :) read more
Suso is a must in Venice. There may be a long line but it is definitely worth the wait! This has been my second time trying Suso and each time, it was just heavenly. Every flavor didn't disappoint as last time I had picked more rich chocolate flavors as opposed to light fruity flavors this time. Gelato in Italy is no comparison to the gelato in the US, which are too sugary. Suso does take card, but only for transactions for $10 euro and more. I tried to use my card and had added a cone and another scoop, but was still way under that it is definitely a good idea to have euro. read more

I've tried manyyyy gelato places in Italy and this place hands down is my FAVORITE. I honestly don't even remember what flavors I got but I enjoyed every single lick. Flavors seem to change often. If you are in Venice, you cannot leave without getting the gelato from here. read more

Gelato flavors are genuine and really good! Git the pistachio flavor and it was very creamy! Definitely recommend read more
I had my gelato yesterday and I cannot stop thinking about it. Hands down the best I've ever had. I miss it so much and you probably will too once you try it. If they have these flavors available--get the hazelnut gelato with the layer of pistachio cream on top, as well as the raspberry gelato with the layer of chocolate ganache on top. You will thank me later. Sending a "you're welcome" in advance. Also--shoutout to the server who helped me pick out my flavors when I was feeling so conflicted and wanted to try all of them. Wish I grabbed your name--but you were so patient and kind with me and I so appreciate you! Thanks for guiding me to these incredible flavors! read more

This is the place for excellent gelato. We had the cherry pistachio and strawberry. Also, the caramel toffee and pistachio. All four were amazing! The staff clearly pointed out what was gluten free and not. They also offer gluten free cones that are stored separately and packaged individually. Hands down one of the best gelatos I've ever had. Super creamy and full of fresh flavor, no chemical's. Staff was friendly. Be prepared to wait in line when you go, because they are popular. read more
When I heard that this was this was the best gelato place in Venice from both locals and tourists I knew that I needed to stop by. I got two flavors (the cookies and cream and the mint) in a cone and it came with the little waffle as a decoration. The waffle was so crunchy and delicious, and the ice cream was so smooth and creamy. Personally, I didn't see a big difference between usual ice cream with the mint, but the cookies and cream was so creamy and incredible that I highly recommend getting this flavor! The line was a little long, but it moved quickly and the staff was friendly and helpful. Keep in mind that there's a $10 card minimum, so unless you're treating others bring cash! read more
