Bacio di Latte was elite. Viv, Felix, and Alyn deserve raises immediately. They were friendly, patient, and let me sample flavors like I wasn't absolutely spiraling over the decision. The gelato? Smooth, rich, and dangerously good. I came for one scoop and left emotionally attached. Amazing service, amazing ice cream--10/10 would lose my self-control here again. read more

Surprisingly underwhelming... maybe I am just a fan of salt & straw and this is not my style. The shop is super nice and makes you feel like you are getting a luxurious experience. The servers fluff the gelato before it makes it into your bowl or cone which makes the texture super soft. I am not sure that made me like it more or less. We did take a tub to go and that had an ice cream texture feel versus a gelato feel. I tried all the flavors that seemed interesting but I don't think any one stood out to me. There is always a line which did make me curious but curious no longer. I will definitely be going to salt and straw as my preferred ice cream of choice. read more

Was very excited to try this new gelato spot! There's always a line out the door and the decor is really cute. I read reviews mentioning the steep price so I was expecting it, but it was still shocking to see truly how small the Piccolo cup is (the size of my palm) and the price is $7.45. However, was nice to be able to sample a few flavors without restriction (looking at you, Hello Gelato), and also being able to combine two flavors in the small cup. I think my biggest disappointment was in how melted the texture of the gelato was. It was a warm day when I came but not particularly hot, and when I received my gelato it was basically liquid so I couldn't really appreciate the true intended texture (assuming it's not supposed to be that soupy). I got pistachio mousse + hazelnut experience and those were really good, rich flavors. I'm glad I came by to try but not sure I would be running back due to the price and texture of the gelato. read more

Long line that goes relatively fast but I'd say the ice cream here isn't that crazy for the price :') it's still delicious but just tiny portions for higher than average prices read more

Super duper delicious!!! I thought the chocolate would be just basic. But I was big time wrong! You get whole hazelnuts in it!! Both flavor was delicious! The line was insane, but so worth it. Hang in there and you'll be rewarded handsomely. The boy that served me made 2 mistakesI ordered pistachio cream with hazelnuts, but he made Nutella with hazelnut, and the second one pistachio cream with pistachio. But what ever.. I took it anyway and it was so yummy.. read more

Ice cream was amazing I loved that you could choose to put either pistachio cream or chocolate cream in your cup or cone Reason for the 3 stars Even if you already received your ice cream you still have to wait in line to pay you can't go straight to the register So the person in front of you takes forever like in my case you have to wait I tried going in front of that person to pay so I could leave and no one would ring me up so I had to go back to my spot in line If they would charge they ppl who are done the place wouldn't be so crowded since it's so small read more

The service here was quick, and the shop had a cozy, small atmosphere. I got the piccolo size, which was perfect and came with two flavor choices. I chose stracciatella and mint chip gelato; both were incredibly creamy and delicious! Good place for a sweet treat on a hot day. read more

This has been my favorite dessert shop in Pasadena ! They definitely don't play around when it comes to gelato. Their quality is so good compared to the other options around the area. However, heir customer service is what brings me back. We are able to sample unlimited amounts of the gelato. Hint : you can't go wrong with any of the flavors. I personally loove coated my cup with the pistachio cream and adding the nuts. There is no place around that does it like them! The only downfall is the line can get long and even wrap around the whole store but they definitely make it worth the wait. It does usually go by fast. I know the workers are doing there best to get the line going. Bacio has proved to be a must stop in Old Town. You just have to be a little patient during their busier times but you will definitely leave surprised and satisfied! Some must tries are the Crema Torino ( the FULL hazelnut experience), Coffee and Caramel and the Pistachio. Be aware they have two pistachios, they said the pistachio mouse is sweeter. Don't forget to do the option where they dip your waffle cone in pistachio cream right in front of you ! read more

I am so happy they opened a location in Pasadena!!!!! I started going here when they first opened in century city 8/9 years ago!!! Hands down BEST gelato you can get in the states... closest to gelato from Italy. Must have the pistachio, giandijutto, and stracciatella!!! Definitely come during the week to enjoy the ambience. This place is packed on the weekends. This is my new hangout spot with my kid after I pick her up from school read more

I'm somewhat unsure what the hype was about for this place. There was a line out the door so naturally I was curious about what this place had, but after waiting for 10-15 mins I was somewhat disappointed. While the waffle cones were pretty good, the ice cream itself didn't taste amazing. The stracciatella was tasteless, the mint chip was lacking the "chip" part and didn't taste like artificial sweet mint or fresh mint leaf either. If you want to get ice cream here, try something with caramel--it actually tastes pretty good. Lastly, the ice cream was overly expensive for what it is. read more

After walking on Colorado street to ran into this new Gelato location. The ambiance is really neat and everything is really clean. The staff was really friendly and helpful when deciding what to get. The flavors were unique and caught my eye so I decided to try my all time favorite afogato with caramel coffee Gelato. I have to admit this place is over priced and the servings are really small. The Gelato in the display case looked like milkshake, it was extremely watery and the staff had a difficult time scooping it. If I was the owner I would make an effort to either fix the display case or find a solution to prevent the Gelato from melting. read more

This place is really delicious and pretty authentic. Environment is cute. The line gets pretty long on a weekend though.

I haven't had a good gelato like this in a very long time. I went around 12pm and there was a small line on Presidents' Day. We tried the tiramisu, pistachio and açaí. They were all good. The place is kinda small so you can't eat inside. Service is very friendly. It's old town Pasadena so it's either street parking if you are lucky finding one or structure parking. read more

so i heard some lovely things here and i decided to try it on NYE hehe and im so glad!! i can really tell the artisan craft with these gelatos and the whole shop ambiance is so cute. they have plenty of flavors to choose from, like fruits or chocolates. i had the sweet cream and strawberry cheesecake. both EXCELLENT! the ladies were so patient with the sampling too haha so i appreciate their care with the long line. worth a trip for a very unique dessert! read more

I love that Pasadena has this new gelato place. They have a wide variety of flavors to try from and everything I sampled was so great but I decided to get the peanut butter caramel chocolate gelato.

I can't wait to go back and try all their other flavors. read more

After returning from Christmas break and navigating the challenges of the Eaton Fire, I stumbled upon this hidden gem in the heart of Old Pasadena. Their gelato is incredibly fresh and creamy, with a variety of flavors, including delicious non-dairy options. They happily offer samples, making it easy to find your favorite. The staff is warm and welcoming, adding to the charm of the experience. While indoor seating is limited to a small window-side spot, I only wish there were more but I'll gladly take what I can get! read more

When I heard this place opened, oh my goshhhhhh I had to come it was amazing. A pistachio lover's dream. I would say this is pretty expensive but for the gelato?? Delicious. The gelato had an authentic color with WHOLE pistachios. I got the ciocchino with pistachio cream and pistachio bits as well. I honestly would only prefer to get the cream with the cone cause it's easier to eat. When I had it in the cone, it was a bit difficult to scoop since it's solidified. Service was great! Be patient. There was only one person serving everyone. read more

This place really lived up to the hype!! The gelato was delicious and the people working there were friendly. We came on a Saturday night and they were surprisingly not busy. It is a small but well decorated space. I had the chocolate hazelnut gelato and they even added extra hazelnuts on top for free. It was very rich and tasted like authentic Italian gelato. That being said the regular size scoop was more than enough for me and I am an ice cream lover. Great selection of flavors! read more

This review is for Harvey, he was very attentive. It was my first time here and he allowed me to try as many flavors as I could, even though it was a bit packed he was able to help me out and suggested the new flavors and I ended up getting the new pistachio with the nuts on it. Harvey also was very attentive to the people I was with. He helped them out too with the flavors and we left happy definitely coming again. The flavors are so good here. Very good quality thank you Harvey. read more

All the flavors of gelato are amazing. The triple chocolate lives up to its name - it is beautifully chocolatey without all the added sugar and the fruit sorbets tastes like the frozen version of the fruit when the fruit is perfectly ripe (I tried the raspberry and lemon). You can tell the coffee gelato is made from good quality coffee and isn't too sweet. The cherry on top for me is that all the gelatos are made from organic milk. It is pricey and the portions look small (I got a piccolo), but when I finished it, I was satisfied with what I had and I didn't feel like I was giving myself diabetes. I think perhaps the flavors are so rich and the gelato doesn't try to hide itself with unnecessary sugar, so the smaller portions are enough. The person who helped us was also so patient and kind. Definitely can't wait to go back. read more

Got the 3 chocolate and pistachio favors in a small cup! Although it's kinda pricey but the gelato is very creamy and rich in flavor! Enjoy it very much and would come back and try out other flavors! Service is fine and attentive! The lady who served my friend is better since she is friendly and has a big smile on her face but not my server!!! read more

Such a cute gelato place, very small and cozy! There were 2 people working on a saturday but the line didn't get very long. From what I've heard, when the gelato isnt brightly colored, the better and more "real" it is. The pistachio was a very dull green color so I think it was very authentic and it tasted veryyyyy good. I had the sweet cream and raspberry, very refreshing! read more

I think the ice cream is good but I found a long hair in my ice cream. They offered to give me a new scoop but knowing it'll be the same batch I'm too disgusted that I didn't even want it replaced. All the staff scooping ice cream were wearing nets. So not sure how it got in, couldn't be my hair because I was pulling it out from deep in the ice cream. Hope they have better hygiene. But their staff are nice and helpful. read more
