If i had to rate on taste only I would give it 10/10. The flavors are amazing. The inside is very inviting with limited seating options (there are several tables outside). The issue is with the portions. A small cup is around $10 and some of the staff doesn't know how to fill these cups, especially if you order two flavors. I ordered a pint for home and sadly it was only half full. Same with when we ordered the small cups. If scooping is such a chore then maybe they should base their prices on weight. read more

Located near the Regal theater at Spectrum, Bacio Di Latte is a cute and clean dessert spot with minimal seating. It's hard to choose between which flavors to get when they're all delicious (and you can sample them)! Good thing the regular comes with up to 3 flavors! I especially appreciate the server's patience when it was my first time! Will definitely come again! Pro tip: join their rewards program for discounts!! read more

Bacio Di Latte - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

I never stop by gelato joints in plazas because I just assume they're tourist/shopper traps... but boy was I wrong about this one!!!!!! I keep coming back.. Best gelato in oc hands down. The cone is so good and fresh even at 10pm lol. I'm always let down by ice cream shops and their homemade waffle cones that always eat soggy or soft.. not here!! Every flavor I try is so good I just come back to get different flavors! The best so far have been the pistachio (not the mousse) and the acai white chocolate!!! Don't sleep on this place! read more

Bacio Di Latte - Pistachio and strawberry - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

I really wanted to try this place, but the line was super long! Today, I went and the there was no line! The 3 chocolate was very strong chocolate flavor and it was good! I enjoyed the peanut butter flavor a lot and there was chucks of chocolate and peanuts. The giant chocolate chip was pretty good. It was soft and crispy at the same time and it had hints of sea salt. read more

This is a newish offering at the Spectrum and I loved it. They had a great selection of gelato and if you really want to you can jazz it up with chocolate covered waffle bowls and the like. The shop itself is very cute with a small seating area. It is conveniently located near the theatre and restaurants. I did have to wait a bit because there were a dozen people in line and only one employee, but the guy working was fast, friendly, and helpful. The gelato itself is luxe and delicious. I had the Belgian chocolate flavor, which will satiate any chocolate craving you might have. read more

Line much shorter here than at fashion island. Close by to the theatre if you're trying to find the closest parking. Pricey but flavors are rich and the gelato is not dense. The line moves reasonably quickly. Seating outdoors and indoors. read more

I've always loved Bacio di latte in Fashion Island so when I heard they would be opening a new location in the Spectrum, I couldn't wait to check it out! We tried their strawberry cheesecake, the pistachio, and the hazelnut flavors. The sweet and sour cheesecake paired magnificently with the nuttier flavors. I have never had gelato before that is so creamy and full-bodied while still not being too heavy and weighting you down. The sweetness level was perfect as well. Not overwhelming but also not lacking anything. I'd love to come back here but be warned - the lines are no joke! read more

I am absolutely in trouble now that this is open so close by to me. I'm not going to pretend like I'm a connoisseur of gelato by any means, and I've had it in Italy and couldn't tell you a good deal difference of what makes gelato good, but you sort of know it when you taste it. Stateside, there's no one that does it better than Bacio di Latte, and I'm glad that the quality is consistent with this location as well. It's pretty classic as far as flavors go, and there's nothing wrong with that, even if many ice cream chains sort of get you on limited time offerings. You'll always go back to your favorites anyway, so there's always more than enough new flavors to try out. This time I had the stracciatella which is my go-to as well as the eponymously named sweet cream flavor, and both were fantastic. It's absolutely a danger to my diet, but it's hard to pass up a great gelato cone, which I will now need to exert some self-control considering how easy it is right at the entrance of Irvine Spectrum Center next to the Regal which is one of my third places. TIP: I hear that lines could be long, but they're open late as well, so try to go off-hours! read more

Finally, Irvine has a dessert spot that feels truly world-class. Bacio di Latte at the Irvine Spectrum Center is the best gelato in town, hands down. While Handel's has its charm, let's be real--that's just ice cream. Bacio di Latte is Italy in a cup, and it's everything we've been waiting for. The Pistachio Mousse? Absolute perfection--rich, creamy, and full of authentic pistachio flavor. The Strawberry? Light, fresh, and bursting with fruitiness. Together, they're a match made in gelato heaven. If you're craving dessert that's a step above the rest, this is the place to go. Whether it's a date night, a treat-yourself moment, or just because--Bacio di Latte will leave you dreaming of your next visit. read more

This was my first time at such a nice icecream shop! They had some selection of beverages and a wide range of selection for icecream. Shout out to Vindy for helping us out! We wanted to sample quite a lot of flavor before making a decision. He was extremely patient and friendly the whole time so trying out sample was a blast! Finally we decided on strawberry sorbet which taste like a perfect strawberry smoothie as an ice cream and yogurt (taste like my mom Vietnamese tart yogurt)! Both were extremely delicious, the ice cream are on the pricier side but the experience was worth it! The interior of the store is very elegant and classy with seating indoor and outdoor! read more

Bacio Di Latte - Yogurt and strawberry - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

Nice service and no line at 6pm on a weekday. Staff was very kind and lots of flavor variety. Waffle cones were a little stale so maybe they shouldn't make so many at once. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoors. read more

"Can I have a lid? I'm taking this home." 20 minutes later. Used the lid to catch the rest of it melting. Mess all over. Either get vessels that hold what you're serving or coach your team to care enough to put it in the correct container. read more

So excited to have more gelato places nearby. The service was super nice and lets you sample flavors before picking. The place looks clean and has a cute vibe to it. The 3 Cioccolati chocolate gelato was very good. Exactly what I was expecting from gelato and tasted like the gelato I had in France. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Half hazelnut, half pistachio gelato in the smallest size. - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

Deceptive Packaging/Dishonest Business! I ordered two hot chocolates from this location and asked for a milk alternative, they offered oat milk which I was happy about. The total came to $15.80. When I received my order, I was shocked to see that both cups were only filled halfway. I asked a staff member if this was normal, and they told me it was "4 oz." the worker informed me that this was standard. In reality, it felt more like a sample size. Both drinks were also lukewarm and lacked flavor. The worker did not offer a refund after seeing I was unhappy with my product/experience. The packaging is deliberately misleading. Oversized cups that create the illusion of a full drink while giving you barely anything. If you're going to serve such tiny portions, at least match portions with the correct cup size. I will not return to this location and I've placed a chargeback on this order. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Save yourself the frustration and your money and go to Starbucks, Cold Stone, or literally anywhere else where you actually get what you pay for. read more

Nothing special overpriced service is so basic. Waited long time staff seems unhappy.

We came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was a line out the door. As we made our way in, we realized there was ONE girl working behind the counter. I wish I remembered her name - I believe it was Evelene (or something similar) and my gosh, was she so sweet. She managed the line with such grace, never being flustered, staying patient and remaining so calm, even when people were getting testy about the wait. I was so impressed with her - I know at her age I would not have handled the situation nearly as well. She deserves a big thank you from patrons and leadership!! read more

Who doesn't love that there's a legit Italian gelato place at Spectrum now. Overall great tasting as you'd expect and it's fun with adding a cone or sauces in a way. BUT make sure to check your bill because I was charged incorrectly with a cone upgrade and it became a whole ordeal. I'm not sure if they get paid for how much they sell or what but without going into detail, just make sure you're getting charged the correct items and nothing is free lol. read more

Super happy to have this place at the spectrum! Their gelato is so good and creamy! I got the pistachio and tiramisu flavors. My fav was the tiramisu they also let you have samples so you can taste the flavors before buying, which is really nice! read more

I love this place, its my best ice cream spot. The place deserves 5 start, but just because the worker Mariam I deducted 2 points. I kind of feel like she treats costumers by their look. It was a third time i got treated like a trash. But not just me, I paid attention to her while i was eating ice cream outside, it was same. read more

Great place for gelato at this newer location! Expect a long line but it moves rather quickly. A lot of staff working and a lot of samples to be had! I like that they can put Nutella on the cones! My favorite was the tiramisu. Very warm and welcoming staff. read more

Beautiful establishment with a great variety of flavors. You can find this near the movie theaters at Spectrum. A piccolo is small but the gelato is rich and creamy. Tried their latest flavor which was tiramisu and it was heavenly! The scoops are on the smaller size, but it truly is about quality not quantity. read more

The Irvine Spectrum just gained another gem! I usually go to the location in Newport Beach so having this one nearby is good but also so dangerous lol. They have some great flavors, but the crema Torino, caramello salato, and pistachio are my favorites! Service was great, the girl who helped us let us try a few samples before deciding. The ambiance was nice - since it's new the inside is modern and very clean. But seating is limited and at times the line can get a bit long. Love this gelato place and will definitely be a regular here during my visits to the spectrum. read more

10/10 would come back. The gelato is so airy and yummy. We liked all of the flavors we had but the raspberry sorbet is a must try. Interior is so cute and they seemed to be popping because the line went out the door. They do try to serve as fast as they can and are efficient. read more

Was specifically craving pistachio ice cream on a fresh waffle cone and this place hittts.

Didn't realize they had so many locations throughout SoCal. read more

Another spot where the line speaks for itself! Very well worth the wait. The shop is beautiful and is very bright, clean, and just chic. The staff are all dressed in the cutest "uniforms". I loved how, while we were waiting, the staff offered us many samples! All the samples from the pistachio to the chocolate were excellent! The gelato is very well crafted and you can smell the sweet aromas of their freshly made waffle cones. Lots of love and care was put into this shop! Highly recommend their gelato. Even the basic "cookies and cream" was phenomenal and probably the best I have had. read more

I love that you can sample the flavors. There is a large variety of unique flavors. There are a lot of options to customize your dessert,s such as adding pistachio cream or nutella. The flavors are rich and high quality. There usually is a wait but the line moves fast. The workers are friendly and the inside is beautifully decorated. There are some seating inside and outside. The one downside is that it is on the pricier side and smaller portions. What we ordered: - Pistachio cone coated w/ pistachio cream + pistachios: Perfect if you love pistachio. The flavor isn't overpowering. read more

No line at the front door -- yay! Service is friendly but careless. The pistachio ice cream is overly sweet, and the mousse version melted before I even reached the cashier. The hazelnut mousse is the same story -- far too sweet, with large but rancid nuts. And just like the pistachio, the ice cream melted all over my hand right after I paid. Ugh. I honestly don't get the hype. Why are people lining up for overly sweet, fast-melting ice cream with rancid nuts? Maybe the world's gone a little nuts itself. I did notice a pattern though -- many OC ice cream and bakery spots design their layouts so customers queue from the entrance, just 40 inches from the cashier. It makes the place look busy and "popular." Definitely a marketing trick -- not a sign of good ice cream. read more

Bacio di Latte is my favorite ice cream spot. The gelato here is always really good, and I especially love the espresso option. It's the kind of place you go to when you want genuinely good ice cream, not just any dessert. read more

Bacio Di Latte - raspberry, yogurt, and sweet cream flavors - Gelato Near Me - Irvine, California

In short, Great Gelato, beautiful store, bad service. Result is I'm not repeating my visit. With a few more details, It was our first time to this store at the spectrum. Gelato was really good and everyone liked it. Seasonal flavors offered more American style flavors with a European twist like sea salt caramel cheesecake. The store is very nicely lit and designed inside. The human and service part of our experience was dismal at best. To pay 30 bucks for 4 small cups/tiny in American standards and get a service like this is not a way to create repeat customers. The short guy behind the fridge was annoyed immediately off the bat from the first interaction and was not welcoming. I said I wanted to see the flavors but he was not having it as if people come in and know what they want at a new store. He clearly did not want to give samples. We only asked for 1 and he acted like it was the end of the world. As new customers that is essential to see how the gelato is. Then the manager I'm guessing, guy with a different shirt and mustache came and helped and he def short changes you for the small piccolo and puts half the amount the other guy did. It's ice cream at the end dude. You're charging for glorified flavored frozen milk. Who cares just fill up that tiny cup and move on. Was not welcoming either and seemed overworked and annoyed. Bathroom was locked so we couldn't wash our hands or kids hands. Napkins tear up when you try to wipe your hands with as they are cheaply made and stick to your skin. Tables outside were dirty and we had to wipe them down to sit. All I can say is, I don't care how good your gelato/ice cream is, if your service is trash it makes it undesirable and I'm not coming back and not bringing any family or friends back. read more

The ice cream flavors are delicious and extravagant! I ordered the regular cup, which comes with your choice of three flavors. I ordered the coffee caramel, cookies and cream, and pistachio! An excellent combo to say the least! The employees are super nice and friendly, and the ice cream had great complements to one another! I really like the aesthetic of this place. The only thing I disliked was the chocolate cookie, which was way too overpriced and too crunchy for my liking. read more

Located next to The Alley by the Regal side of Irvine Spectrum, Bacio did Latte has a beautifully decorated interior for a gelato spot. There's a few tables inside and a small bar area, and some seating outside but otherwise isn't large enough for a hangout spot. And rightfully so as it would likely ruin the atmosphere. Wide variety of rich gelato flavors that you can taste test. Tried the affogato which was very smooth. Only thing is I wish it was served in a slightly wider cup. The scoop of gelato fills the entire surface and the espresso sat completely underneath. Could use a better presentation as it looks like gelato on top of espresso rather gelato drowned in espresso. Still good nonetheless. read more
