    I saw a huge line for this place which peaked my interest. I've actually heard of this place before. Well known for their chocolate, so I wanted to try something. Honestly, I was pretty underwhelmed when I tried the gelato. We were also offered a piece of chocolate while we waited in line. That wasn't amazing either. I actually prefer Laderach's chocolate more if I were honest. Probably won't be back.

    stracciatella (chocolate chip), hazelnut, and bueno & brutto

    We got in line at Venchi on a Saturday evening. We waited for 25 minutes, which wasn't bad compared to how long the line was during its inception. The line was crowded but not too loud. The workers were calm and friendly, letting us sample several flavors before ordering. We ordered a waffle cone with three scoops: stracciatella (chocolate chip), hazelnut, and bueno & brutto. These are all chocolatey and sweet flavors, so I would recommend them together. The gelato tasted sweet and fresh, perfect for a treat on a hot day. Although I had a great gelato experience, I would not want to wait in that line again.

    This was my first visit to this popular spot inside Valley Fair Mall. The decoration is incredibly eye-catching and creates a great vibe. They have a many selection to choose from, including ice cream, gelato, and sorbet. You can customize your order by choosing a cup or a cone (plain or dipped in chocolate and nuts). We tried a couple of options and they were all yummy! The line moves pretty slowly. When I visited, there was only one person handling both orders and payments, which created a bit of a bottleneck. It's definitely not cheap, so expect to pay a premium for the mall location and the quality. Overall, it's a great place for a high-quality treat if you aren't in a huge rush!

    I came for the gelato and I got the large cone which i regret because i ended up getting full so quickly but i got stracciatella which i loved, i forgot what the other chocolate flavors i got were called but they were also good, just a bit much for me personally and i didnt end up finishing them. My sister got the strawberry and it was absolutely delicious and so refreshing i regretted not getting that instead of one of the chocolate ones i got.

    Chocoviar is absolute favorite for anyone with nut allergies. Though it's dark chocolate, it is not bitter or overpowering. Texture is smooth as any other flavor in Venchi. For my toddler, who has nut allergy, they made sure to grab her scoop of Chocoviar from their back store reserve just because a container of another flavor that had nuts in it, was placed next to the Chocoviar container. Definitely loved this kind of service

    This was my first time ever going to this particular ice cream parlor and interestingly enough everything closed early on this particular Valentine's Day Saturday weekend!!! The gentleman got a bit confused that our order and we ended up getting three scoops instead of two, but that was fine. We got Matcha, mango, use lemon! Each flavor had a very unique, strong taste! I really like the combo of the Yuzu lemon and Matcha together!! The chocolate medallion wasn't to our liking, but we're picky when it comes to chocolate. Overall, the set up was a little time-consuming also, but there was one person scooping, one person at the register and another person. Very busy working to clean up everything in the back. The gentleman three people ahead less literally wanted to try every single flavor so the other people between him and us working a little frustrated. I figured since our dinner reservations weren't until 11 PM at Joey's it didn't really matter since we would be waiting regardless! Lol. Overall, I will definitely go back and try other ice cream or sorbets from this particular company since the flavors were so delicious and refreshing! I was also very happy that this particular ice cream parlor was open so late!!

    hazelnut chocolate in a small cup

    There was no line at all on Sunday around 1pm, so I got served right away. I ordered the hazelnut chocolate gelato (not sure of the exact Italian name, but it was the rich hazelnut-chocolate combo). The small cup was more than enough -- creamy with bits of hazelnuts and the Venchi dark chocolate piece. Shoutout to Cash, who was incredibly friendly and generous. He hooked me up with a really big scoop and even let me try a sample. His great service made the whole visit even better.

    Berries in love and hazlenut gelato

    Wow this is the best gelato I've ever had. I had a fair share in my life time but this takes the cake. I went on a Wednesday night when there's hardly a line. This place gets very busy on the weekends. Loved their hand dipped chocolate cones covered in hazelnuts. Their cones are the best I've ever had and tastes so natural. I learned that Venchi prioritize the natural essence of their chocolates and gelato, steering clear of preservatives, artificial flavorings, and colorings. They have an ongoing effort to gradually reduce sugar content each year, ensuring nothing is excessively sweet. I was most impressed with Venchi's commitment to environmental consciousness, maintaining low emissions for their ingredients. Fun Fact: Their pistachios are cultivated on a volcano in Italy! Favorite gelato flavors: -Strawberry with chocolate (berries in love) -hazelnut without chocolate (I forgot the actual name it was in Italian)

    Eilien L.

    Venchi gelato and chocolates are top quality. Yes it is a bit pricey, but they give you a generous amount for it. My personal favorite was chocoviar flavor (75% dark with chocolate bits texture). Shout out to David, our server who skillfully scooped our gelatos! Don't forget to try the chocoviar chocolates. Defo one of a kind!

    Finally checked this place out several months ago when the line happened to be really short. My boyfriend and I each got the regular size, and we tried mango sorbet, coconut sorbet, and pistachio gelato, all of which were flavorful. The sorbet textures were a bit off to me, borderline gummy but the gelato was creamy. Given the prices and already having favorite spots elsewhere, I wouldn't care to return unless someone else expressed interest.

    Regular size gelato Nougatine with dark chocolate interior, scoop of Cappuccino, scoop of Hazelnut
    Michelle N.

    I've always raved about the gelato at Eataly, but after hearing so many good things about Venchi, I was excited to finally give it a try. We came on a Saturday around 8:40 pm, and there was still a long line, which was a good sign. Venchi is located inside Valley Fair Mall, and the storefront is very eye-catching with its bright colors and elegant displays. There are two separate lines (one for chocolate and one for gelato) but the line moves fairly quickly. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and they let us sample up to three flavors before deciding. I highly recommend asking for their favorite flavor combinations because we absolutely loved their recommendation. We ordered a regular cup with nougatine and dark chocolate interior, topped with a scoop of cappuccino and a scoop of hazelnut. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. It was rich, chocolaty, nutty, and had great texture from the nougatine. Easily a 5/5 and something I would order again. Each gelato order also comes with a piece of chocolate on top, which was a nice touch, though just okay in taste. Overall, this is a great spot for gelato, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're at Valley Fair Mall.

    Love love their gelato ice-cream that comes with the pistachio and cappuccino flavors. The waffle cone was thin and made on the spot, fresh to order too! My hubby loves their handmade Italian chocolates while I like the uniqueness of their rose almond pistachio chocolate. Again creamy, not too sweet with a hint of rose too.

    strawberry stracciatella
    Donna T.

    I cannot get enough of their strawberry stracciatella. Think strawberry chocolate chip! Honestly if it weren't for this flavor, Venchi's wouldn't be as distinguished to me. You also get your choosing of either a small dark or milk chocolate to be placed on top of your gelato. Yes the line can be pretty long, but it doesn't move too slowly. They also have a chocolate selection to the left of the store. I've purchased a pistachio flavored chocolate bar before which was pretty good, as well as a box of chocolates. I appreciated how they let me sample the chocolate beforehand.

It was samples of their chocolate hazelnut which was delicious. The quality of the chocolate higher tier and you can taste it. You can also try samples of the other chocolates they have on display which is awesome. I tried their matcha dark and white chocolate fusion and it was so yummy. Perfect blend between the matcha and the chocolate flavors. You also can break the amount of chocolate that you want and it could even be as small as a sample size too. I believe the cost is by how much it weighs and the type of chocolate? I ended up getting the smaller pieces of the matcha chocolate and the hazelnut chocolate. It came out to be $11.47 for both the chocolates and I have attached a pic to show you. They nicely package it. I def recommend trying this place. The workers here are also very nice!

Loved the pork sausage and pickled red onions, wonderfully tart savory flavor. *Sautéed green beans - next level green beans with a creamy vinaigrette and chopped cashews *Grilled Corn: spiced coconut, cotija and tajin.

We walked into a clean, modern space with a casual café feel that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The shop focuses on creative variations of bingsu with toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate, matcha, and other dessert-inspired flavors, and the layout encourages lingering over a shared dessert rather than rushing through a quick stop. The biggest highlight is the texture of the shaved ice itself. The ice is extremely soft and light, melting quickly while still holding the flavors from the toppings and condensed milk. We ordered the Injeolmi Sulbing, which showcases the more traditional side with nutty flavors, and the combination of the fine ice, chewy rice cake, and nutty powder created a dessert that felt both refreshing and satisfying. The Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie Sulbing turn it into a much more indulgent experience, with richer flavors that feel closer to a full dessert than a light treat. The presentation is impressive, with each bowl arriving looking carefully composed, and the layers of toppings are distributed well enough that you get a good mix in every spoonful. The portions are also a major part of the appeal. A single bingsu is easily shareable, making it a good choice for groups or anyone looking for a dessert to split after a meal. We found that sharing worked well, as the portion was generous enough to satisfy two people without feeling like we were missing out. Beyond bingsu, they also offer items like toast and other sweet treats, which give the menu more variety and make it a place you can visit even if you are not in the mood for shaved ice. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience depends heavily on the flavor you choose. Some versions rely more on the toppings for their flavor, while others feel more balanced throughout. The presentation is impressive, but certain options may feel less satisfying if you expect every bite to have the same intensity as the first. The fruit-based versions, for example, rely on the freshness of the fruit to carry the dessert, while the chocolate and tiramisu versions have a more consistent richness from the base itself. Sulbing is a great spot for trying Korean-style shaved ice. The unique texture, large portions, and variety of flavors make it stand out from typical dessert shops, especially if you enjoy lighter desserts with creative toppings. The balance of refreshing and indulgent options across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the ingredients makes each bowl feel considered and well composed.

I ended up getting a custom 6-piece box: raspberry yuzu (x2), rose water saffron (x2), and sesame praline (x2). The raspberry yuzu was extra yummy with the chocolate this time. The bitterness and tartness went well together. The sesame praline was interesting. The filling had a more crispy and gritty texture as a result from what appears to be sugar crystals. The sesame was nicely incorporated so that it wasn't overpowering. I really liked it. The rose water saffron was interesting. It definitely had floral and earthy notes. This is among their most popular flavors, but it just wasn't for me unfortunately. It slightly crossed the floral soap threshold for my taste buds.
