Sempre presenti alcuni opzioni vegane a parte in questa gelateria storica di Bologna. Oltre ai gusti di frutta sono di solito presenti 4 gusti vegani: cioccolato, nocciola, pistacchio e il mio preferito: sole ( vaniglia con mandorle pralinate e scorza di arancia). Hanno anche i coni vegani e senza glutine
We almost walked out of the store again, because we only saw the three vegan sorbets (strawberry, mango, lemon) and not the other ones mentioned on HappyCow. If you walk just a little bit further in the store, you will find their “vegan section”. When we visited, they had: chocolate, vanilla flavored with orange and almonds, pistachio and hazelnuts.
We enjoyed the pistachio ice cream, vanilla was a bit too sweet for our taste. Definitely do not take the vegan cone, as it’s not the usual vegan and gluten free one which you can find everywhere in Italy, but a very friable one.
They also sell different vegan spreads (pistachio, hazelnut/chocolate, etc.).
Edit: we went back for a second round and are happy to report that not only the strawberry, but also the chocolate and hazelnut tasted great! The service was also very friendly.
The staff in this shop were so sweet and helpfull. There were 4 different vegan flavours and I tried 3 of them. The ice cream were melting really fast, because it was a bit wattery; but the flavours were amazing! 🥰
I loved the hazelnut flavour - so creamy and delicious! One of my all time faves I think! Such a nice change to the dark chocolate that is usually vegan in a lot of gelaterias. Clearly labelled vegan, they also had a pistachio and ‘il sole’ flavour as well as the usual fruit flavours. I also enjoyed reading the signs that explained all the flavour names on the wall!
There were “only” six vegan options which seemed not much in relation to the whole amount of ice cream they offer. There were no “special” flavors, just fruit flavors. Nevertheless, the ice cream was really good and I would definitely recommend it if you’re in the area.
Would be 5 stars but as mentioned in the title the options were a but limited, only fruit options - nothing like mint, chocolate, hazelnut, coffee etc.
They have a vegan section clearly labelled. I had hazelnut and almond, my boyfriend went for strawberry and dark chocolate. Very refreshing and delicious! 😀
They have a little vegan section with chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio, almond, caramel, something called il sole (I don’t know what it is), and lemon with basil.
I’m pretty sure the fruit ice cream was vegan too, as well as the coconut.
I had a cone with caramel, almond and lemon and it was really good, especially the caramel.
They have the Vegan selection by itself, wich is very nice. You get an overview and can easily see what flavours they offer. Delicious and rich in taste
I had hazelnut, sun and sambuco icecream (sounds crazy, I know!) and it was great. They have a dedicated store section just for vegan flavours plus the fruit flavours are vegan. Can absolutely recommend.
Every time I visit BO I also visit Gianni. I just love his Vegan Pistachio Ice Cream. There are other Options like Sole, Almond, Hazelnut, Chocolate or mint chocolate (not always the same) but Pistachio is my favourite.
They have a separate section for vegan flavors, six to choose, I think they change them from time to time. They also offered me a sample of every flavor to taste, super kind of them.
This place was amazing !! Has a separate section with all the vegan gelato at the back of the shop. I had 4 in one tub. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back to try the rest. Even my non-vegan friends were impressed

They have a vegan section! - Edit
I was a bit disappointed at first because it looked like they only had sorbet options for vegans. Thankfully I found the vegan section!
Read moreThey had (delicious) nocciola and pistacchio, which is all I ask when it comes to gelato, so 5 stars it is.

Excellent - Edit
Took the medium cup and the amount of ice cream put into was huge, I thought. Next time I’d take the smallest option. Taste was great!

Not many vegan options (a few fruit sorbet that’s it), but some seperate vegan gelato already in cups. Expensive and I didn’t really like it.
