However, it was still very good and the staff has exceedingly friendly and helpful. I even was able to see them making the gelato in the back room.

There is a list of gelato flavors on the wall. It was hard to choose but chocolate is my go to. The chocolate was rich and super chocolatey! The pistachio was also very good. We were waited in fairly quickly with only one other customer in front of us. It pays to get gelato on the winter-no lines. The store had high top tables to stand at or seating upstairs.

Some of the other places I went to don't have the same strong pistachio flavor - theirs is more watered down. But the pistachio here is wonderful! The marscapone is also delicious but very creamy, so you may not be able to eat a lot of it. I also enjoyed the ice-cream bars that they had here. They are more frozen so it won't melt as fast as the gelatos. I tried the Nutella and marscapone bar (bomb) and the italia bar which is hazelnut and pistachio. It was fantastic, and coated with high quality chocolate.

The Ciocolato fondante is a dark bitter chocolate that should be a jump start to everyone's day. The chocolate is strong and incredibly smooth. The pistachio is true to the nut. It has a natural color so don't expect a bright green. The Dolce Emma made of Ricotta cream and fig caramelized in honey and lemon was my ABSOLUTE favorite. All the patrons that come in are mesmerized by the list of flavors. There is a lot to read. They offer gluten free, lactose free, sugar free and vegan options (!). Definitely a gelateria that you need to visit while in Bologna. The service was great! The staff member was really nice to allow me a taste of several flavors before I made my choice.

The creamy gelato flavors had a lot of mix ins. This place is for you if you want complexity. The location is right by the Tower Asinelli; super convenient to Piazza Maggiore.

I grabbed some gelato and it cost me around €4 which was decent for the taste of gelato. It wasn't my favorite but it was the perfect thing I needed for a hot day. They also accept contactless payment which includes Apple Pay, visa which was nice especially for tourist. The lady serving me the gelato was patient and even recommended me some flavors. The only reason it is not a 5 star is because I got a really bad stomach ache afterwards for some reason after I had the gelato.
