Venchi

Not really hard to find, in the midst of all the stores around it, the store was very open and inviting. If I was to write a review about the gelato, I had the Dulce de Leche and it was super sweet, but very yummy. I wish I had the opportunity to choose another flavor, but the RUDE woman serving us did not let us try other flavors, and was was not helpful to describe the variety of other choices they have since all was in Italian. The gelato was yummy, but I’ve had better ones.

Very good gelato but our service was terrible. She seemed like she was having a bad day or something because her answers to our questions had a type of condescending attitude. If you can get past that potential the gelato is very unique in that the flavors aren’t commercial. Plenty of other gelato places to visit in the city. You are only allowed to try one flavor so choose wisely. Dulce de leche is very sweet.

The gelato is great, but be careful in specific store I was extorted for two attendants and they didn’t give my invoice to check my balance!!!

Excellent gelato. The dulce de leche was out of this world. Only complaint is that you only get 1 flavor with the smallest serving.

Some of the best gelato in Venice. So good in fact that I came here every day for more! I loved the mango and chocolate. Much better than the gelato on St. Mark’s Square and not that far away.

The gelato is extremely rich and very good, but I was so turned off by their dishonest business practices that I would not recommend it — there are so many other options that do not take advantage of their customers. I started by ordering the smallest size of one flavor of gelato, and the worker suggested that I pair it with another flavor. Thinking they would split the small size into two flavors, I was shocked when my bill was over 5 euros!
I was glad I declined their other suggestions for toppings, because I’m sure my total would have been even higher had I not. Understanding that many of their customers are tourists, maybe they think that most will not return so they could get away with this, but I’m posting this to warn others to be more aware!
Bottom line: go elsewhere, the gelato is just as good and much less expensive!

Best Gelato I’ve tasted in my life. Got the chocolate. Incredibly rich and soft. Not really a Gelato fan. Now I am.

If y’all want some good ass gelato this is the place to go! It’s a bit pricier than the regular gelato places you’ll find in the area around St. Mark square but it is well worth it. The first gelato I got was with nougat and chocolate… Absolutely amazing! It was bam bam boom in my mouth cause the flavour of the chocolate was so intense and rich that it was like eating melted cold chocolate if that make sense and the nougat added a pleasant crunch… Perfect blend of texture and flavours.
The second time around I got a cappuccino and chocolate one. This was decent, the flavour of the cappuccino came through but I didn’t like it much because I prefer having a different texture so it would have been better if there was something like a crunch… Just my preference. Anyhow the flavour was amazing and still really good!
I don’t have pics cause I forgot to take some since I started just eating hahhaa… Was too excited! They have many different flavours and the shop also sells different types of chocolates and sweets. It’s a trendy, clean and modern place with welcoming staff. Now go!

I really wanted gelato when we were at Pizza San Marco, and was dissuaded from having some at one of the tourist traps on the square. Thank goodness for that! We chanced upon Venchi, and got good reviews from fellow customers who had just made gelato purchases, so we went ahead and had a dark chocolate & hazelnut gelato. It was goooooood! They are a little pricey, but it’s worth it.

Right… So I’ve tried gelato from venchi in 2 other Italian cities. This place is a franchise. The first time I had gelato in the Florence branch I loved it. They also add melted chocolate on your cone. In general I would have given this place 4 stars as the gelato is tasty. But this specific loses a star due to the staffs poor manners and their pricing.
They dont ask you what size you want (small, med, large). They only have large cones in display and when. you say you want your ice cream in a cone… They ‘assume ’ you want the large cone which of course more expensive.,
Also, the melted chocolate which you can. add in.your cone costs 0.50 additional euros in Florence. in Verona it costs 1 additional euro and in Venice 1.5 additional euros. No reason. just because. this of course isn’t clear on their ‘menu’.
However, to be fair the service and the pricing is a theme in Venice unfortunately.

Helado muy artesanal y rico. El local es bastante grande y tiene un diseño muy elegante.
Los precios son justos por las raciones que se ofrecen. El mas grande, por ejemplo, sale 5 euros y es bastante grande.
Tienen una variedad de más de 20 sabores, y varios son propios.
La atención es muy cordial.

Gelato! My family made fun of me because this may be a chain (locations in Florence as well), but definitely my favorite gelato on this trip (I enjoyed coconut and chocolate).

Nettes kleines Geschäft eines Pralinenerzeugers — der gerade beim Eis aber auf ganz besondere Weise punkten kann. Es gibt schier unendliche Auswahl an Schokoladen/​Nougat Eiszubereitungen die alle auf voller Linie begeistern können. Ich aß noch nie in meinem Leben so gutes Schokoladeneis — und als Schokofan will das was heißen. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Wer eher Fan von anderen Eissorten ist wird aber nicht auf seine Kosten kommen (weil es simpel nichts anderes gibt)

We spent vacation in Italy and came here on our last night after gelato every day for two weeks. This was our favorite gelato. The caramel was amazing.

Great spot for gelato or chocolate. They also have a selection of granita’s.

If Rihanna came here she would say «I found love in a gelato-​less place». Well, not really gelato-​less place, but when you’ve been exposed to the fantastic gelato in Rome, you only hope the quality compares in Venice. My go to gelato flavor test is pistachio, and they nailed it with a perfect landing. Will be coming back.

We have seen this place in other cities and had yet to try it… what a shame we didn’t. The gelato is very tasty. The chocolate is wonderful and the service is great.
This a nice little stop between Rialto and Saint Mark’s Plaza. It is worth a stop prior to getting into the crowds of either side.

Best. Damn. Gelato. In. Venice.
Like you can not possible believe! Seriously: Venchi is a Cathedral of Chilled Catharsis!
Sited right in the middle of the San Marco district, less than 3 mins walk from St. Mark’s square, on a dog-​leg corner of Calle Dei Fabbri and Rio Terà De Le Colonne. Venchi is a gleaming, modern, shop with huge windows that are a bit of an architectural oddity in the tight, busy, winding old streets of Venice.
As you step over the threshold of the door, your senses are bombarded: bright lights and the clean sharp counter enticingly displaying over 30 gelato and granita, with smartly uniformed staff ready to serve them up. All are made fresh on-​site in their «lab» kitchen, and there are different flavours every day. You can taste as many flavours as you like before you buy and you have a choice of different sizes of cups (copa) or cones. You can even mix several different flavours together in the same cup. And the gelato is dreamy! Smooth, rich and full of flavour. I went back 5 times in 3 days. It was THAT good!
But the smell is what really got me! Just inside the door, you walk INTO the smell of cocoa, sugar, butter, vanilla, and many others, which combine into a sweet, thick, heady mélange of deliciousness. I almost floated around in there!
But this isn’t just a gelateria, it is also a high-​end chocolatier as well, and the displays show off all their boutique boxes and individually wrapped chocolates to perfection. A range of different sizes and shapes are available in white, milk, dark or very dark rich chocolate. Cigars, coins, liquors and plain cubes, from pick your own bins to € 100+ pre-​packed gift boxes, all with individual Venetian inspired imagery their wrappings.
Open from around 10:00 in the morning until 23:00 most nights, if you want a high-​quality gelato any time of the day or evening this is the place to go! Brilliant!
