"The BEST icecream in VENICE. You have to try!!! We visited this gelateria on three different days during our stay in Venice, and each time it was absolutely fantastic. We tried several gelaterias around the city, but this one was by far the best — hands down the highlight of our trip when it comes to gelato. The quality of the ice cream is outstanding: rich, creamy, and incredibly flavorful. You can immediately taste the difference in how fresh and well-made it is. There were no ice crystals at all, just perfectly smooth and velvety gelato. Every spoonful felt indulgent. The berry flavors and the cheesecake gelato were especially amazing — full of intense, authentic flavor and so creamy that we kept coming back for more. We also highly recommend trying the “Bueno” and “Biscoff” flavors, which were both unique and delicious in their own way. This place is truly a gem in Venice. If you love gelato, don’t miss it. Honestly, if I could give 6 stars, I would. It’s that good!"

"While out walking the area of the Ponte do Rialto, we wanted to stop for gelato and sorbetto and came here. Service was very friendly and the guy working was very helpful. They were busy, but the line went quickly. The sorbetto tasted pretty good."

"I absolutely loved all the vegan flavours at Gelato Fantasy as there are so many to choose from. I’ve recommended it to all of my friends who were travelling to Venice and they loved it too! I recommend the pistachio and hazelnut flavour"

"My kids had delicious freshly made bubble waffles with Dubai style pistachio chocolate ice cream. Alessandro, gave superb service and was very thoughtful and patient with my kids"

"I judge all dark chocolate gelato against Prague’s Cream and Dream version, which is the darkest chocolate gelato I have found. Gelato Fantasy’s Chocolate Fondante is a strong contender, very dark and very rich. I paired it with some Snickers gelato, which was jam-packed with Snickerishness. My friend had one of the waffle-on-steroids cones, which she asked to be filled with a surprise mix. The kitchen sink result did not disappoint either the eyes or the buds."
