We were having dinner at a place across the street and Venchi's was visible through the window the entire evening. It's was too tempting not to try and I am glad I did. After a rather big meal, I convinced one of my dinner friends to come with me to this place - just to see what the ling lines have been about all night. It was later in the evening so the lines had died by then. Service was friendly, and since no one was waiting behind me, I decided to try a bunch of flavors before finalizing my choice. Almost everything tasted great. Settled for the nutty variants of pistachio and hazelnut. Smooth and extra creamy. This reminds me of the gelatos I have had in Europe. They are definitely doing it right. Had it with the waffle cone that seems to have been freshly made at the shop. Perfect combo! It looks like they have locations all over the U.S., and there is one in the Bay Area too! So lucky me. Guess where I am going next weekend read more

I've heard so many good things about Venchi, and they did not disappoint! The gelato is so soft and smooth and the flavors really deliver. It is pricey but they give so much gelato. read more

I loved the ice cream so much! It was absolutely delicious! Taking a walk around Madison Square Park on a beautiful summer night made the experience even better. I can't wait to come back! read more

I was having another dinner at a restaurant next door and I needed to cleanse my palate. Thank goodness the gelato was pretty good. I'm not a chocolate/sweets fan but it was very good quality. L loves chocolate so he obviously loved this place and wants to come back. The wait wasn't too bad but afterwards as we were eating, the line was way out the door... so great that it's open late. We shared a large cup and tried 3 different flavors. Very rich... love that it didn't taste...that sweet though obviously it's going to have a good amount of sugar. Nothing I could get at WFs obviously since this is freshly made. Lil pricey but so is every other ice cream shop nowadays. So at least you're getting really delicious quality gelato. If I lived closer, I'd get the $19/lb take home gelato. read more

Tatianna was very kind, answering all of our questions while maintaining a positive upbeat attitude throughout the whole service. Coming into the building at night changed our whole atmosphere, providing a cozy environment. The gelato itself was delicious. This food is some of the best gelato you can get as it comes from the very source. read more

Great little dessert shop, esp if you're craving a late night treat. Slightly expensive if you're buying the chocolates, but the gelato is delicious, with so many traditional and innovative flavors to chose from.

Superlative quality gelato made with very fine ingrediants. The chocoviar 75% is my absolute favourite. Its rich, decadant, smooth and very satisfying to consume. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have done a great job with merchandising the outlet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A few flavours like the stracciatella were on the sweeter side. Hats off to them for the lovely plant based option that do not compromise in taste at all . read more

I've had coffee from Venchi before and it was SO amazing that I had to convince my friend to try it. We got the Nougatine. Initially, the first half of the coffee was not good. I didn't understand why. But once we actually got toward the bottom where the chocolate & hazelnuts were hiding it came to life. Next time i know to mix it well before consuming so that I can have that deliciousness with every sip. read more

I find myself being really picky with ice cream shops but Venchi was good and I was able to choose an ice cream pretty quickly (which means a lot since I'm crazy indecisive). I sampled the strawberry stracciatella and the pistachio and those ended up being the two scoops I got on a regular chocolate chip cone. While the flavors were great individually (the strawberry is sweet and slightly tart with neither one being overpowering, and the chocolate chips adding a nice smoothness since it's a sorbet: 4/5 stars) (the pistachio is so creamy, smooth, and I love the nuttiness: 5/5 stars) they weren't the best paired together (my fault). I was also a little greedy--and the pictures a little misleading--getting the regular because the scoops are pretty big and just the small would've been satisfying. This is definitely a place you come to when you want to splurge tho because the regular cone I got was about $13 which is a little crazy. read more

Not cheap but oh so delicious gelato. I had a very rich chocolate combined with a serving of the stracciatella. I also tasted a very good pistachio. For those that dare, on this particular night they had an olive oil flavored gelato as well as a parmigiano reggiano flavor. Our party of 7 thoroughly enjoyed each of our individual orders. The line can get long. They have an interesting ordering procedure but it seemed to have worked out well. read more

We had dinner next door and after a full dinner (with dessert) we couldn't resist popping into Venchi to try their ice cream afterwards! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The way the store is lit definitely draws you in- along with the smell of freshly made cones!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a lineup when we arrived but it was a quick moving one! I had the strawberry sorbet in a cup and it was so refreshing and delicious! My partner had the cappuccino in a cone and devoured it as well! A little pricey, but for a specialty shop it was definitely worth the cost! They also sell chocolate and truffles by the pound in the store! read more

Venchi has become a must-stop-in spot every time we visit NYC, at least one time but typically multiple times a visit. There are Venchis all over the city so it's an easy pick for high quality, flavorful, decadent gelato that's worth the splurge especially when you want something sweet but not too heavy to take the edge off a big heavy meal. Skip the ridiculously overpriced restaurant desserts and stroll over to the nearest Venchi. It's the perfect choice. Two of us share a kiddie cup (called "baby" size - see my pics) and it's plenty big as a palette cleanser without the guilt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is OPEN SUPER LATE which is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service isn't blazingly fast but the line does move along (if the line gets long, sometimes they'll start taking orders on their mobile pad while you're waiting in line). Dare I say, this is one place I'll tolerate waiting in line for - it's that good. Highly recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is adorable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have limited seating inside, but the customer service is excellent; they answered all my questions about their products.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried the tiramisu gelato, and it was delicious!

I've been here a few times and it has always been quality gelato. The wait time varies between literally no wait at all and up to 20 minutes or so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no indoor seating, but some outdoor seating is available if you're visiting in the warmer months.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On a recent visit, I ordered the rosemary caramel limited edition flavor off of the in-store menu and was bummed to learn after I ordered and paid that they didn't actually have it that day (there should be an easy way to update the menu since it's electronic!) I opted for the tiramisu instead and it was a pretty great substitute. It's mostly flavors of sweet cream mixed with crunchy dark chocolate bits, but here and there, there's also the classic tiramisu flavor of bittersweet espresso powder. The gelato was topped off with a bittersweet chocolate coin as well, which was a nice touch. Other flavors I've tried have included the olive oil (good but a little boring, mostly just tasted like vanilla) and the Parmigiano Reggiano (ordering felt a bit daring, literally tasted like Parmesan in ice cream, which I liked). read more

We tried the olive oil gelato which was tastier than I thought it would be. It was creamy and light. It went well with the hazelnut gelato. The line moves slowly but it's because they are patient with allowing samples before making your final selection which is very appreciated. read more

My friend and I found ourselves wandering near Venchi and thought, "Why not indulge in some fancy gelato?" And there we went (after a failed attempt at Yogurlina, which apparently does not sell gelato despite Google Reviews stating the opposite). * Tangerine & Passion Fruit This was the special guest star of the day - a limited edition flavor that my friend and I sampled and decided to get. It's like a sour patch kid grew up, went to a tropical island, and got a slight attitude. Sour, tart, with a teeny bit of bitterness. If you're into sour fruity things, you'll love it. I'd give it a 4/5. * Mango Ah, mango. The reliable best friend who never lets you down. This one was the MVP - classic, smooth, and definitely worth the calories. If I could marry a flavor, this would be the one. 5/5, no question. * Tuscan Cream I sampled this one, and BAM! Caramel punched me right in the taste buds, and I wasn't in the mood. Too sweet for my liking. If you love caramel, you might have a different take, but for me, it was a swipe left. No bueno. * Cremino The staff recommended this one, and I thought, "Sure, why not?" Thank goodness the staff recommended sampling it beforehand. Turns out, Nutella has an even creamier cousin - and they're living at Venchi. If you're a Nutella fan, you might love it, but for me, it was like being smothered in sweetness. I needed a palate cleanse after this one. In a nutshell, Venchi felt like a sugar rush waiting to happen. I probably should've gone for something less sweet (like their pistachio), but here we are. Overall, I'm giving Venchi a 3/5. Don't get me wrong - the gelato's consistency was top-notch, but it was just too sweet for me. Comparing it to Figo, I'm team Figo all the way. Venchi might be for the sweet-toothed masses, but I'll stick with something a bit less sugar-crazy. Then again, based on the rave reviews, I'm probably the odd one out here! Edit: My sister ate the Cremino Pistacchio Chocolate and she says it melted in her mouth. 5/5. Updating my rating to a 3.5 stars. read more

If you're in NYC and craving something sweet, this is your spot. It's a local chain so features multiple locations in the city but, not necessarily the States. They've got a variety of classic gelato flavors. And there's a TON of customization--choose your cone, toppings, size and gelato flavors to create your perfect treat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is small and lacks seating, making it a grab-and-go spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Expect long lines that wrap around the building, especially during busy times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the space isn't optimal, it adds to the NYC charm, ya know.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Def a great way to end your night with quality gelato. Just be ready to wait a bit! read more

Venchi - Chocolate gelato - Gelato Near Me - New York, New York

Was passing by the store and when the littlest one in the party asked for ice cream, you obligated. The store had two lines: 1 chocolate and 1 gelato line. We waited in the gelato line for a while. You choose a size small, medium, large and oat for your treat. We picked 2 small cones - 1 flavor: 1 pistachio and 1 brutto buono (chocolate hazelnut). While the employee was making the first cone, it took skills with the scooping and shaping of the scoop. Total of 2 scopes for each cone. Employees will answer your questions, though not very friendly though efficient. The day was semi-warm so the gelato melted pretty quickly since it's soft so you might want to eat it pretty quickly. Hope you enjoy your treats read more

I came by on a Saturday evening with friends and there was a line for the gelato. The wait was maybe around 10-15 minutes. I ordered a baby scoop of the cremino in a cup. It was yummy but I felt like it could've had more texture. It was also quite expensive, around $8 for a scoop. read more

Came here out of a recommendation from a friend. This place matches my favorite gelato place in flavor and texture. I got the dark chocolate and cappuccino and it was amazing. It's hard to find chocolate gelato or ice cream that is dark enough to my liking, and this place does it exceptionally well. Got the hazelnut + nut coating for my cup too. That was a nice add but not necessary. read more

The gelato here is great. I like that you have to pay first before choosing your flavor because of how the space is set up. Makes it easier to grab and go without having to hold it in your hand and then pay. The line set up can be kind of confusing for first timers because the signs aren't clear. It should say "pay first" clear and straight to the point. There's a heavyset girl who works here with glasses. Very fair skin and speaks Spanish. She's always rude and talking about customers without waiting for them to fully leave. As soon as they turn around she opens her mouth or makes faces, something I've seen done to others and done to myself. I put some cash in their tip jar the other day and peeped her making a face at her coworker, as if $3 on a $7 receipt wasn't enough.. mind you I was the only person who put something in there to begin with. The African American girl with silverish blue hair is always nice and seems to handle the crowd well read more
