Novel flavours but not my favourite

I’ll give 4 stars for half the flavours being vegan and clearly labelled, but most were fruit ones and had more of a sorbet texture than the super smooth gelato feel I’d had elsewhere! I got cinnamon and kiwi (weird combination, yeah, but I was curious about both) and the flavours were good but it was slightly icier ice cream. I was also told that the smallest cone is vegan. I liked the other places I tried in Venice better, but this was the cheapest!

The beat flavours and friendliest staff

The staff is so kind and they had the best variety of vegan flavours we tried anywhere. Basic strawberry, melone and limonello are available but also has kiwi, ananas, cinnamon, ginger, mint and selery if you wish to try some more exotic flavours. Definitely recommend!

FAVORITE GELATOS IN ALL VENICE

I love that place, they have so many flavors. My non vegan friend told me she liked the vegan ones better than the ones with milk ones 🤗 my fav one is the cinnamon but highly recommend to go more than once so you can try different flavors! They change as they use fresh seasonal ingredients

Pros: Traditional gelatos, Many vegan options, Fresh ingredients

Huge selection of vegan ice cream!

There were as many vegan options as non-vegan so we were spoiled for choice! The staff were really friendly and could advise on not only what was vegan but also for those avoiding either dairy or eggs by themselves. Two small ice creams came to 3.80€ total which is very good for Venice.

Meh

Plenty of choices for vegans which was nice and the ice cream was okay. In line with tourist places in Venice but its good. I did appreciate the Sicilian lemons taste including pieces

Tasty!

Really good ice cream and most of it vegan. I tried something new - pear and plum for autumn - and the taste was just like you expect pear and plum to be. But they also had the classic chocolate ice cream:)

Perfect on a very hot day

We made a special trip to find this hidden gem. All vegan options are clearly marked with green labels. I had the pineapple and the cinnamon and they were delicious and definitely ice cream rather than sorbet. And such a friendly shopkeeper too. Fabulous!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: None

Plenty of vegan sorbetto options

All of the vegan options were clearly marked as sorbets. They were all water based, but I got the pear and it tasted really creamy, yet it was also light and refreshing! The owner spoke English and was able to explain everything to us.

Pros: Many vegan options

Vers VERY good! Sehr zu empfehlen!

It's quite a small shop, but with lots to choose from. Do try the cinnamon and mint one!
One scoop is 1,50€.
Es ist ein sehr kleiner Laden, die Auswahl ist aber super und sehr abwechslungsreich - sogar mit Sorten wie Ruccola-Orange, Wassermelone und Ingwer!
Alle Sorbets sind vegan, so wie in vielen anderen Eisdielen auch. Mit dem Unterschied das dies richtiges Eis ist ohne Stabilisatoren oder sonstige Zusätze.
Ich empfehle wärmstens das Minz Eis und die Sorte Zimt! Meine Favoriten. Auch das Mango Eis war großartig und natürlich gesüßt - sehr angenehm so ganz ohne zusätzlichen Zucker.

Wir wurden vom Inhaber bedient, er spricht Englisch, Deutsch und Italienisch. Uns hat eine Kugel 1,50€ gekostet. Aber das war es uns absolut wert.

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen, ausgefallene Sorten

Cons: Teurer als andere aber sehr gut

excellent vegan ginger gelato

Probably the most delicious vegan gelato I've had (I had the ginger one) and would have loved to try one of the other vegan flavours available too, which was cinnamon and also looked amazing. Felt very artisanal and natural and not excessively sweet, which I always appreciate in gelato

Delicious!!

Definitely go here if you're in Venice! All vegan options clearly labelled along with ingredients list. My favourite flavours were the cinnamon and rose. My husband had the refreshing mint slushie. Worth it!!

lemon is lush!

There were about 7 flavours of vegan sorbet when I visited, all clearly labelled with green tags. Some interesting ones like cinnamon, rose and green tea. I played it safe with strawberry / lemon / pear 3 scoops for €3.50. The strawberry was nice, lemon was delicious & pear didn't really taste of anything. This sorbet was ok but I liked SuSo (also in Venice) better for vegan gelato

Pros: choice of flavours

Cons: only fruit flavours vegan

Some very unusual flavours

Small and friendly. A wide variety of flavours with the majority on the unusual side. I'm not sure that I'd have rocket and orange as a gelato flavour again but I'm glad I did.

Sorry but vegan sorbet is not gelato

I was so disappointed to find that they only have vegan sorbet and not vegan gelato. The reviews were misleading as I was expecting soy or almond milk gelato.

Romance at look,Love & first taste

Just had dinner & walked about 2 minutes & found my dream to have my first vegan gelato since becoming vegan - 4 years, surprised at how many vegan options there were pretty much 50/50 between non vegan & vegan- the vegan creations sounded way more exciting! Had a blackberry & cinammon both amazing! Heaven, hit the spot. Only bad thing is i didnt have another! Tomorrow going back to sit & eat then go back & try all the flavours! A must go to for everyone

Pros: Cheap , Creative creations, Tastebud heaven

Refreshing, inspired gelato flavors

We had a lot of vegan gelato while in Italy, but Alaska stands out as the most memorable and unique experience. The owner can point out the vegan options and knew that the cones were also vegan. I had a combo of rose, mint, and blackberry, but there were a number of other equally interesting vegan options (I had a taste of my partner's celery gelato and it was surprisingly good.) All three flavors were terrific, but the rose really stood out. The taste of the gelato is hard to describe, but the best I can do is to say that it tasted homemade in the best possible way, with fresh ingredients. It was really light and airy, too--very refreshing for a hot day. A must for any vegan (or non vegan looking for something different) in Venice.

Pros: vegan gelato , creative flavors, simply delicious

I read the reviews first, but...

But I was not prepared for my vegan Rose, Mint, Celery gelato cone! The one man cringed as I ordered it, but it was such a fresh tasting treat on a hot day involving a lot of walking. Excellent, creative options that you won't find anywhere else and not heavy like regular gelato. Friendly, helpful staff. Stop in!

Pros: Creative Flavors, Easy to Find

nice, inventive gelato

One of the best gelato in Italy, Mr Pistacchi, the owner, has explained to me that all vegan flavours are made separately from the dairy based ones. Vegan flavours are not clearly labelled, but you can simply ask and you'll have a large selection to choose from. The flavours are absolutely original and inventive, such as a surprising orange-arugula, cinnamon or spicy ginger, alongside more traditional ones based on fruit. The granitas are also very good and all vegan, and are served with basil leaves. Definitely a place to try!

Pros: inventive, original flavours, friendly staff
