If you're looking for exceptional gelato in Venice, make your way to Gelateria Ca D'Oro. A local…read morechef told us it's one of the top three gelato shops in the city, and after one visit, I can see why. The difference is immediately noticeable. The ingredients taste incredibly fresh, natural, and high quality, allowing each flavor to shine without being overly sweet or artificial. Every bite was rich, creamy, and exactly what authentic Italian gelato should be. One piece of advice: eat it fast! We happened to visit during the record-breaking heat wave, and our gelato started melting almost the moment it was handed to us. Not exactly a complaint, just proof that this is the perfect treat on a scorching Venetian afternoon.

Excellent gelato and genuinely friendly service…read more Dennis was our server and he could not have been nicer or more helpful. I asked for recommendations and his were all on point, including the changing daily special flavor. Today's was dark chocolate and it was the best gelato we have had on this multi city Italian tour, and Venice is city #10 on this tour for us! In fact it was so good my family of four went back after dinner for a second helping and to try other flavors. We experienced the same fast and friendly service from Dennis, and the same outstanding quality and deliciousness from the gelato. Highly recommend grabbing gelato here for anybody visiting. You will not regret it!

You do have to order what suits you, cause gelato or ice cream for that matter is very subjective. My daughter got the crema di grom. That's dark chocolate egg yolk with cookies and it's to Die For! I had the nougat and the grand torino(flavor of the month) good not amazing but no complaints. The quality shines regardless. I also had their pre package small caffe gelato at the Marco Polo Venice Airport. This too was amazing! We came here on Rick Steve's recommendation and I thank him. My only regret was I didn't have time to sample all their other flavors.

Every flavor was so good and complimented each other. Definitely recommend!

So, I was super excited to stumble across this self serve gelateria close to the Rialto Bridge The shop is shiny and modern, especially in such a historic town as Venice. The staff are helpful and offer tasting of the gelato if you're not sure which flavour to choose. They haven't quite figured out using small sample cups yet, so you get a generous helping of samples They had 12 flavours on offer, a mixture of creamy gelatos and fruity sorbets. Both were amazing, especially considering they came out of machines. My fear that they'd taste like soft scoop ice cream proved unfounded. I chose a refreshing zingy tangerine sorbet and the girlfriend went for decadently luxurious vanilla They offer paper cups in 2 sizes as well as waffle cones and cups To finish off your creation, they offer a wide mix of sweet toppings, sauces and preserved fruit. Some fresh fruit might be a good addition for them to consider Payment is by weight. For our full small bowl, we paid 3.95 Euros

Amazing place. The only self-serve geletaria I found in Italy, but it's the only one I'd ever need…read more I wish there was a place like this in the states. There were tons of flavors and even more toppings. They even had a whipped cream dispenser that was to die for. The milk flavor was especially good. I didn't care for the berry syrup(?) that I tried but my boyfriend was fond of it. The decor was really cool, everything in the store was white and everything added to the atmosphere of the store. Very clean and the employees were very nice and both spoke some english. Reasonable prices, about what I'd expect to pay a self-serve frozen yogurt place in America. Both my boyfriend's and my gelato was around €7. If I could take any piece of Italy home with me, it would be this geletaria.

But came back the next day for some Cicchetti next door (Vino Vero). But this time a lot less visitors, so we decided to try some of their gelato. And what a fantastic gelato place this turned out to be! Lots of wonderful flavors. All the classic and some more adventurous ones. We went for the Tiramisu and the Amarena (sour cherries). The gelato has a perfect texture. Very rich, very creamy. Nice flavors, the Amarena not too sweet and not too sour. The Tiramisu a perfect choice if you feel like some Tiramisu, but also feel like some ice cream. It was nice to sit at the canal enjoying the ice cream. Staff was friendly, prices for the quality really fair.

It could just be that I didn't care for the nutella and amaretto that much, though. Loses a star because teh employee got cranky with me when I said I wanted one size and then rattled off 3 flavors when the maximum was 2. That was my mistake. I don't remember seeing signage about the limits, so maybe they could put some up to prevent such miscommunications in the future. However, she got positively irritated with me at this point. When she confirmed I wanted three flavors, she dropped first cup in the trash. Maybe chill out (pun intended) just a little. Loses a star because the employee refused to take my credit card. I understand that businesses are required to take cards, even for small transactions.

The dark chocolate, oh my god, I could just eat it every day for the rest of my life. My grandchildren had the chocolate chip, the lemon and the coconut and couldn't get enough (as well as the dark chocolate)! I also had the pistachio and it was just as amazing! This is most definitely a five-star establishment, but a certain rude employee brought it down. For the first four times I went there (3 in one day!) the man working allowed me to pay for two of the larger cups (2-2 scoops) instead of four small ones. It saved me almost a Euro which was very nice of him. When I went back the fifth time I was charged individually even after telling the person how I was charged before. He was rude and unhelpful and wouldn't allow me to do that same thing and I didn't go back after that, unfortunately. I hope that you won't let one crappy employee keep you from enjoying this treasure, I just couldn't bring myself to go back after that kind of service.

It was near our hotel and had a good variety of flavors so we decided to give it a go. There isn't any seating, so we took ours over to the base of the bridge and sat on the steps by the water. This was our first Gelato experience and I must say I was tickled pink! So yummy! We both decided to get ours in cups, although there is an option to get it in a cone. We got the three scoop option, but there were smaller sizes available if wanted. Naturally, I got three different flavors (gotta take advantage of the three scoops!) - a dark chocolate, mint chip, and a cream/orange flavor that tasted just like a creamsicle. I knew I'd like the chocolate and mint regardless, but wasn't so sure about the orange flavored one. It certainly did not disappoint! My boyfriend was not as adventurous as I however, and just got a chocolate/nutella flavor. He said it was super good though. I think we both ate ours in a matter of minutes. Cost is based on size. I think it was 5 euros for each? Worth it! I am writing this review post trip. I made it a goal to try Gelato in each area I visited during this vacation including Venice, Florence, and Rome. I'd honestly have to say this Gelato stand is a gem and takes the number one spot. Definitely don't miss out!
