BUTTERCREAM PRETZEL. Who knew this flavor was going to be fantastic. I enjoyed it however it did melt quite fast which makes it less enjoyable. I think all the manipulation caused it. I also love that they use clover brand milk, which is on the higher end. Pricy gelato that does not compare to Italy's in any way but better than other frozen options nearby. Nutella was also good. Long lines that move slow. Helpful staff. read more

Omg this place is so yummy ! I've had this place multiple times and it's been delicious. The prices are a bit steep but the quality is good. I really love the service that is here as well. The ambiance is amazing too read more

Serving up creamy gelato, Bacio di latte is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! The service is friendly and they offer samples before you purchase. I got pistachio and rosa & vaniglia (vanilla), which reminded me of rose water and pistachio, a popular combo in Iran and Turkey in the Middle East. The roast had a fragrant floral taste to complement the nutty pistachio. I got their smallest size, piccolo and it was pretty filling. read more

Ohmygosh, this gelato was SO good!!! This newish gelato place (about 5 months old now as of July 2025?) popped up in Old Town Pasadena, and my partner wanted to try it after dinner. I love the cute store decor! They feature what ingredients they use and the design is very sleek and clean. Interior was very nice. It's a small shop and the layout makes it hard to see what flavors there are beforehand but there are words-only menus at the entrance. You're able to sample before you buy with no shame, and the workers are very nice and helpful! Here's the flavors we got: -pretzel buttercream -strawberry cheesecake -pistachio -stracciatella -crema Torino The strawberry cheesecake and pretzel buttercream were my absolute favorite!!!! The gelato is so, so creamy! We are definitely coming here again! read more

Bacio di Latte is so good! If you want to experience amazing Italian-style Gelato, then Bacio should be on your go-to list! There are so many delicious flavors that choosing just two is hard (you can always get 3 flavors in a larger cup!). So after trying the Crema Torino, Bacio di Latte, Mousee di Pistaccho, Nutellinwaand a few others, I ended up with the Buttercream pretzel paired with Rosa & Vaniglia. Such a perfect pairing! read more

I was staying in the area and was recommended this gelato spot by a friend and it did not disappoint. We came when they opened so not all the flavors were out. I did order the Tiramisu and it was so creamy and the flavors pop! This is definitely one of the best gelatos I've ever had. read more

Sheeeesh this is some good gelato. Came on a Monday evening with some friends and only a few people were in line. The place smelled like fresh waffle cones and it was heavenly. The workers were helpful and patient with samples. I ended up doing a small cup with the pistachio cream and pistachios at the bottom, and for my flavors I chose the buttercream pretzel and the chocolate pistachio crunch. Chef's kiss. The flavors are super creamy and high quality, and the pistachio cream cup was a dream, especially with the flavors I picked. The pistachio cream was really loaded up at the bottom! Next time I'd try a pistachio dipped waffle cone. It's a bit steep at around $9 minimum for most items but I'd say it's worth it! read more

New dessert spot on Old Town Pasadena and I was a fan! A corner unit but it's small and lengthy. We came on a Saturday night after dinner and there was a little wait to the front door. We waited about 15 minutes. Because of the layout, it's hard to see the flavors available so I would maybe consider having some signage around the other side of the store as people wait. The layout makes it less easy to for folks to taste flavors, but there's a lot of friendly staff there to help move people through trying samples. I got the smallest size which has up to 2 flavors and we chose the peanut butter and pistachio. Both exceptional - smooth, creamy and the cup seems small but has plenty. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Date of visit: March 9, 2025 Selections: Ciocchino cup (hazelnut spread in cup) with crunchy hazelnuts with: Giandujotto (Hazelnut & Chocolate) Pistacchio (Pistachio) Experience: My husband had been wanting to try this place out after we passed by this place when it was closed for the day. So he was pretty excited when we got the chance to check it out after coming from Mass. When we went, there were two parties in front of us. I was personally overwhelmed by the number of selections there were and realizing that I could have already two different flavors for the smallest size they had to offer on top of also having an option to coat your cup in either pistachio or hazelnut spread. We were able to sample flavors before committing to them, so I ended up trying Giandujotto (Hazelnut & Chocolate) and Pistacchio (Pistachio), which were the two flavors I got in a Ciocchino cup (hazelnut spread in cup) with crunchy hazelnuts. I love how creamy the ice cream is and how fresh they tasted in a sense of not being artificially flavored. While we were mid-order, a line started forming behind us, so I was super glad we got in before the rush and that there was a back exit near the cashier station that we could get out of since the store is pretty small. Definitely coming back to try more of their flavors! read more

Solid Gelato, but small and expensive- more of an occasional splurge if you will. The space has been a couple things ( a plant store previously) and now is a high end Gelato shop next to Sunglasses Hut and Starbucks. Not sure where they have thier other locations, but the location is small, quaint, and clean, with great service. I was able to try a couple flavors before deciding on thier popular pistachio and cherry creme flavor. You can get 2 flavors with their small size cup and it will run you about $8. I will say the Gelato is certainly very creamy and delicious, but for how small a portion you get, would make this only an occasional treat. There isn't any proper seating inside since the space is limited, except for a window sill which may not be comfortable for some. I work in town so it's a nice walk over on a hot summer day, otherwise there is metered street parking and car parking on Green St and Fair Oaks, and even closer one on De Lacey and Martin Alley. read more

We got here on a Saturday night and there is a line. You can sample before you order but the lady assisting us wasn't the friendliest. We tried the full hazelnut experience in a sugar cone (but should've gotten the waffle bowl) and we opted to coat it with pistachio cream (you can also have crushed pistachios on top). It's very creamy and they claim to use organic milk! It's a little too sweet for us but overall the creaminess won us over. Quick tip: they have a QR code you can scan to see the menu while you wait in line. read more

So, so good! They get super busy Friday & Saturday night like line out the door busy! So many flavors and same price as like Baskin Robbin's or a scoop of ice cream anywhere else. The gelatos are unique flavors and I love that the Nutella they offer around the cone is warm and just elevates the experience! 10/10 for dessert spots in Pasadena read more

Bacio di Latte - Half and half scoop (Super latte and pretzel flavor gelato) with Nutella cone. - Gelato Near Me - Pasadena, California

Soooo soft and creamy, but comes at a high price tag! The Piccolo cup which is the small size starts at $7.45. I wanted to try the Nutella cream, so I got the Ciocchino in the Piccolo size and that was $8.95. Crazy expensive for the size, but the quality and taste can easily justify the price tag. It's miles better than Hello Gelato across the street. I noticed that about half of their flavors are made from chocolate but they range from Nutella to Belgian Chocolate. Don't think I've seen that many different chocolate flavors in a gelato shop, so I found that very interesting. I tried their signature Bacio di Latte and the Belgian Chocolate. The texture is really on point. No icicles or hard clumps - just pure creamy ribbons. It's not too sweet to a point it takes away from the flavors. I really liked the Nutella cream liking the cup, and it had nuts for added contrast. I was worried it would be too much chocolate getting the Nutella cream and the Belgian Chocolate, but they surprisingly went really well together. They still stood out because they taste so different. Definitely see myself coming back here, though not as often as I'd like to because of the high price tag. read more

I am so glad that there is finally a branch opened in Pasadena! I used to drive all the way to West LA to get this, but now it's much closer! Shoutout to the best gelato I have had in LA! The gelato is very authentic and smooth and creamy! My go to flavors are usually the three chocolates, pistachio, Belgian chocolate, mint chip, and a few others. You get to sample the gelato before you order, so be sure to get those and make the best decision!! This spot is filled with many staffs who are not only warm and friendly, but are also very patient when serving customers, especially the long line! The spot is rather small, so there isn't any place to hang with your friends, but you can always walk around Old Town Pasadena with gelato in your hands. One thing to note would be parking. Parking is either on the street or the structure 1-2 blocks away (which is usually $1 for the first 2 hours). read more

The gelato was melting as I received my waffle cone. I had to ask for a cup to catch the drippings. Although the place was visually appealing and the smell of fresh waffles was irresistible, I couldn't wholeheartedly recommend it. The cone had an overly hard texture that was difficult to bite into. I ordered the nut and chocolate coating, which was far too sweet on its own. Then, the two scoops of gelato turned into an immediate debate. read more

We were driving around and noticed a long line and decided to try it. Upon entering you get a strong scent of freshly baked waffle cones. Staff were friendly and patient as we tried a few samples. My husband got the regular pistachio and liked it very much. I ordered a cup with two flavors : Chocolate hazelnut and Mousse di Pistachio. Both are divine! I loved the combination of flavors and the chunks of nuts were amazing. The gelato was creamy and rich of flavor. read more

Went to this gelato place to try while craving for ice cream. Inside the place has cute and elevated decors with their own QR menu when I walked in. I tried 3 flavors- Pistachio, Tiramisu, and Strawberry Cheesecake. They are all good flavors. But my 1st favorite was Strawberry Cheesecake; which has a tangy taste with crumble pieces of cheesecakes in it. Every bite was delicious. My 2nd favorite was Tiramisu; which has bold flavor that I like. There were many staff serving the customers; so i got our delicious dessert pretty quick even though the line was long. Customers were able to try variety of flavors when they ask and they provide samples on little spoons. I like that their gelato is freshly made using organic milk and organic cream. Overall, it was a delicious gelato that everyone should go try. read more

delicious creamy gelato. They had several unique flavors to choose from and we were able to sample a few before picking our favorites. They also had a variety of cone and cup options to choose from which included chocolate and pistachios. We also noticed some Vegan options for those who are plant based. The location was decorated very aesthetically. Service was quick and pleasant. My favorite flavor was "3 Cioccolati". I wish they had a flavor with Vanilla Beans in it, but other than that the flavors we sampled were all decadent. read more

It's ok, Way overpriced in my honest opinion. The tiny cup is $8 something almost $9 with taxes. I think I've reached my limit with the over pricing of everyday things. Is it good? Yes. Is it so amazing that it will blow your mind and change the way you see gelato for the rest of your life therefore it's insane high cost is justified? NO It's just gelato...calm down. read more

Delicious! The gelato was very soft, so I'm not sure I'd recommend a cone. Even on a 70 degree day it was dripping everywhere! But the flavors were good, particularly the pistachio. You can get the cone or the bowl lined with pistachio or Nutella, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. It's pretty, but I did not think it added much to the taste and it's an extra cost. The staff also seemed a little confused about the coatings when we ordered, but we got on the same page about it eventually! It's a very small store. Be prepared to eat outside. read more

Gelato is pretty good however Carlos the employee needs to work on his customer service skills. I asked for 3 different flavors of one pint each. He stated there are premade pints in the grab and go freezer. I responded with these pre made pints are rock hard and does not have the same texture which is what this establishment is known for. He shook his head and I apologized for making him do that. In my head I was wondering how is this any different than the multiple customers that ask for individual scoops. It took no longer than 5 minutes to do it. I still gave him a 15% tip but I know I shouldn't have. Just glad my family including my sister enjoyed it for her birthday. In all honesty if you don't like what you do don't work in that field. I had a low level job too and went to school for a better career. read more

overall: i definitely want to come back and try other flavors! food: we got two small cups with two flavors. i like how their menu offers suggestions of flavor pairings. we paired a hazelnut with chocolate and pistachio with i think peanut butter. both were super good and not too sweet! service: we went on a sunday evening and there was a line out the door. the line moves relatively fast and everyone was super friendly. u can try a lot of samples too. ambiance: there's not rly seating there's some benches but it's near the door so people are usually waiting in line in front of the benches. it can get crowded inside but that's too be expected bc of how popular they are. read more

This gelato shop is a chain- but always good to the last taste! The gelatos are so fresh, yummy and satisfying. Unfortunately, this great taste comes with a price- $7.45 ish for a small cup- but worth every penny if you are seeking something sweet in downtown Pasadena. There is a flavor for everyone if you fancy sweet gelato.....Unlike their own locations, this location does not have a place to sit.....note the gelato melts fast, so a cone can be kinda tricky when walking. read more

Such unique gelato flavors! I'm not sure how I didn't realize this gelato store popping up in old town Pasadena. There are so many options to choose from now! We came here after Mother's day brunch and somehow managed to beat the rush. The storefront is very small, and it gets packed quick. Luckily, the line moves very quickly. There are also small ledges that you can sit on to enjoy your cold treat if it's too hot out. Their gelato is expensive, but they do have very unique flavors! Our favorites were their chocolate and pistachio options. We even upgraded for the dipped cone since they do pistachio cream cone options! A 2-scoop gelato with a cone upgrade comes out to about $12. Yes, it's very pricey. But it's a good treat yourself on a hot summer day! read more

Delicious and egg-free! It's rare to find a gelato shop that doesn't use eggs in their base, so this was a great find.

In the mood for something sweet - just come here. Don't even think about it - just go. It is the best gelato I've ever had - every bite was a delight. Service was great - always fun when you walk into happy employees. It sets the whole vibe. My go to is usually 21 Choice but oh boy - oldtown sure doesn't have a shortage of frozen treats. Parking is street or structure. read more

I'm honestly really disappointed with my last visit to Bacio di Latte. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but the experience has gone downhill in a big way. Customer service is basically nonexistent. The staff seemed bored, uninterested, and honestly had an attitude the entire time. On top of that, they weren't knowledgeable about the flavors or ingredients--and couldn't even pronounce some of the flavors correctly, which is pretty concerning for a gelato shop. They also charged incorrectly for cup sizes, and the portions were surprisingly small. It felt like they didn't even know how to properly balance multiple flavors on a cone. But the biggest issue--and the reason I won't be coming back--is the condition of the gelato itself. The flavors were visibly melting inside the display case, which clearly means they are not being kept at the proper temperature. The case was messy and looked dirty, and there was obvious cross-contamination between flavors. You could literally see different gelatos mixed into each other. This place used to be great, but something is seriously off now. Maybe they need better management, because this is not acceptable for a place that used to have such a good reputation. I definitely won't be coming back, and I'll be warning others about this experience. read more
