Delicious hazelnut vegan ice cream

Small ice cream shop, offering vegan options and frozen yogurt

Pros: Vegan hazelnut ice cream, Labeling

Cons: Could be more transparent which of them are vegan

Pleasantly surprised!

Only two vegan flavours available. Both were nutty ones which I don’t usually go for but I was very happy as they turned out to be delicious. After a few days of vegan hell in Milan (seriously if I never eat a plain pizza with marinara on it again, it’ll be too soon) having two perfect, tasty scoops while sitting watching the world go by in the middle of Lake Como almost made up for it.

Pros: Tasty, Affordable

Cons: Only two flavours , Workers looked at me like I was a freak

Great range and vegan cones

This is a small ice cream parlor who are very familiar with vegana options, large range of really nice ice cream and fruit sorbets. Served in very crunchy cones

Pros: Delicious ice cream, Good range, Vegan cones

(N)ice

When we were here we had to ask which flavours were vegan because it was not clearly labeled. They had vegan vanilla and hazelnut, and of course all the fruit flavours. The cones are vegan as well! It was delicious.

Excellent vegan gelato

Very tasty vegan gelato! Pistachio, Matcha Tea and many of the friut flavours are vegan. Even the cones are vegan.
Vegan flavours are barely marked, you should ask the staff (speaks good english)

Pros: 1/3 of flavours are vegan, Vegan cone, Superb taste

Finally not fruit vegan ice cream

Besides the fruit flavors like strawberry and lemon they had dark chocolate and pistachio too. Very good texture, yummy ice cream!

Super yummy!

I really enjoyed my gelato from here! I got a scoop of Grapefruit- so yummy! Had almost like a sherbet flavour. I also tried Pistachio for the first time, which was quite nice. Would definitely return here for more.

In this ice cream shop there are at least two vegan flavours with a creamy base, as well as fruit flavours. I've tried hazelnut and vanilla and they where delicious

Vegan options

Had 2 vegan flavours as well as the fruit ones which are vegan in pretty much all places, the vegan creamy options were hazelnut and matcha, they were really nice and the hazelnut was labelled vegan. The shop was a bit more expensive than most other ones we had been to and the the quality wasn’t as good but the only one we found that had vegan options that weren’t fruit so over all really good !

Pros: Labelled vegan options

Cons: Not all vegan options labelled , More expensive than other places

Long line for small selection of unlabeled sweet icecream

Not a very smooth operation. One-person operation with long line (20min wait) on a June mid-week hot afternoon. Vegan choices not labeled. Had vegan pistachio, pineapple, lemon, mango, and perhaps 2-3 others. No chocolate flavor. Icecream is quite sweet, would not buy again. There are half a dozen icecream shops in Bellagio. The one closer to the ferry (1min walk from this shop) also has some vegan choices.

Tasty vegan gelato

They had two vegan options when we visited, chocolate and hazelnut, though only the hazelnut was labelled. Good price per scoop too

Pros: Very tasty, Good price

Cons: Not many vegan options, Not guaranteed to have any!

Don’t think they have vegan ice cream

We just visited the shop (29/03/22) and the lovely assistant said the only thing that’s suitable for vegans is the sorbet. We asked about the ice creams on the stick and she said they have milk in them.

Sehr lecker, aber keine große Auswahl

For in a cup they only have fruit flavors but there is soja ice cream on a stick covered with caramel ore chocolate. That's really yummy.

Gutes Eis in Bellagio

Leckeres Eis. Es gibt aber nur vier vegane Eissorten; Zitrone, Erdbeere, Melone und Blaubeere.
Desweiteren gab es ein paar abgepackte Fertigeisprodukte.

Hazelnut flavor was nice but I paid €3 for a normal size but it was half empty

So, I was really happy when I found this place thanks to Happy Cow reviews. However, I was confused by the amount (I wish I took a photo) since my partner got non-vegan ice-cream for the same price and mine was literary one tiny scoop and his was piled on. I had mine in 3 bites. So, it is nice but I hope the place will not take money for less contents.

Pros: Had two vegan options, Clearly states vegan , In the town center

Cons: Smaller amount than they give to other customers, Pre-filled ice cream tubs

So good I went twice

I was SO happy when I saw this! I thought I’d never find vegan ice cream on lake como but i did and it was brilliant!!! It was average ice cream in a pot, but nonetheless I still came back later that day for more ice cream! Definitely recommend if you’re on lake como

Pros: The only vegan ice cream on lake como, Yummy ice cream , Also has water

Cons: Queue, No place to sit

Vegan gelato in Bellagio!

Just steps from the lakefront a small shop with some vegan gelato offerings. They were pre-filled cups and not freshly scooped, but still... they had them.

Pros: A few real vegan gelato options, Good location
