Stumbled upon this place while walking around the 3rd Street Promenade, and I'm so glad we did! We were able to sample a few flavors, and my husband and I ended up choosing the strawberry shortcake and cookies & cream custard. Both were absolutely delicious, with a super smooth and creamy texture. Definitely a sweet treat worth stopping for! Staff was welcoming and friendly as well! read more

The atmosphere here is sweet, literally lol. The decor is elevated, not your typical gelato spot. We were spending a few hours in Santa Monica and wanted something sweet. As serendipity would have it, I saw Bacio di Latte in the distance and knew it was going to be our choice! I saw it come on my timeline a few times but didn't know when I would get to the West side. Our lucky day!! Service was great and KUDOS to the staff for asking us if there were any allergies....which there were...peanuts‼‼‼ So THANK YOU!! Our choices we selected were soo decadent and smooth. Couldn't ask for better. Now I have learned that there is a location in Encino. Perfect read more

Stopped by for a quick and easy sweet treat after dinner. There's ample seating space. Service is very friendly and we tried so many flavors before deciding. I got the Lampone and chocolate hazelnut which was a surprisingly good combo. It has the PB and J vibe to it. The tartiness counters and sweetness beautifully. The interior is warmly decorated and there are pints for pick up as well! read more

OMG. If I could have an affogato everyday, I absolutely would and I would have it from Bacio di Latte. We shared a pistachio and salted caramel affogato. Both flavors provide a bit of saltiness that pairs so well with the sweet ice cream and the bitter espresso. By far my favorite sweet treat of the year. read more

First time at Bacio di Latte. The place was very cute with a decent amount of seating inside and a little outside. A lot of foot traffic and at times the line got pretty long. I got a Crema Torino Affogato. I liked it. The gelato was sooo good, it was way better than the espresso, which was strongly bitter, but... Of course it's a gelato shop. I can't say much about the service because I sat and held a table while my friends went in line and ordered for me, but the table was a little dirty and after telling staff at the counter, one of them came right away and cleaned the table. Overall I liked it. Everyone. In my party was happy with their gelato orders. I would come back for sure. read more

Amazing service ! Lovely, clean, atmosphere. A friend and I went to All'Antico Vinaio's Grand opening, then we went across to finish the night at Bacio Di Latte ! Amazing service, we tried all the flavors. We were served by: Jared, Lexi, and Yvonne. Wonderful and attentive staff. They made our night after the festivities. All the flavors were beyond phenomenal. The service we received was patient and attentive. They gave great recommendations. We got four flavors: tiramisu, cherry yogurt, caffe, and salted pretzel. The flavors taste natural and pure altogether. We got feedback on what many customers say about the flavors. We received personalized assistance based on what flavor profiles we fancy. Baccio di Latte is the tried and trusted premier gelati choice in LA. Cheers ! read more

Bacio di Latte is consistently great! While they are a bit pricey, the gelato is worth it. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming you in, thanking you, and saying goodbye. They offer samples, which I appreciated, though I was a little shy and only tried two. I ended up choosing three flavors I knew I would enjoy. Best sellers are clearly marked with yellow signs. I opted for the Regular Cup ($8.95), which allows for three flavors. I chose Pistacchio (Pistachio) - an all-time bestseller, Stracciatella (Chocolate Chip), and Raspberry Sorbet (vegan, made with local raspberries!). Brie was very helpful and checked in to make sure I liked my choices. Great gelato and service! read more

I'd been to Bacio in Westfield Century City and loved it but first time to be here. I go to Santa Monica and Venice so it's not that Bacio opened a new location here. I have always love the Excellent quality for the gelato, sorbet and vegan flavors It was busy when I came in around 5pm. There was a line but it moved really fast because there are four people who are assisting customers. I didn't even do tasting of any flavors in consideration of the people behind me. I just went ahead and ordered half scoop of pistachio and half scoop of something with pretzel. Both flavors were so good. I really enjoyed licking and scooping it with gusto until it's all gone. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

Had such a great experience at Bacio di Latte!! I got the buttercream pretzel flavor (which I think is new) and it was absolutely delicious. It had little pretzel bits mixed in and the flavor was super rich but perfectly balanced! The service was also amazing!! I didn't catch her name, but the girl who helped us was so lovely and kind. She let us try a few samples and was super patient and friendly the whole time. Between the great service and the delicious ice cream, this was such a great stop. read more

Bacio Di Latte is my favorite LA gelato. The rest don't make them like they do! My go-to is pistachio! Delicious nutty flavor with pieces of the pistachio nut. Very creamy, perfect on a warm day in LA! The pistachio mousse gelato is a bit more sweeter not to my liking. I came on Wed. 25th of June for their free gelato day! I got a free piccolo sized cup, benefiting Children's Hospital, they matched every donation. I chose chocolate hazelnut and pistachio. Perfect pairing but I may be biased :) Super friendly staff. You can try samples and enjoy the indoor seating. Coffees, iced lattes, other sweets and pints also available. General parking lots available on 4th street, free for the first 90 min. Delicious gelato supporting Children's Hospital... cannot get any better! read more

Bacio di Latte - Gelato Dessert Layers of Chocolate, Vanilla & Caramel - Gelato Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I think I may have found a new favorite Gelato place. Bacio di Latte is a charming Gelato shop with cozy vibes. We went there on Sunday afternoon and the shop was busy. They have indoor seating. We scanned the QR code to read the menu. They have delicious and unique flavors of Gelato, in addition to Affogato bar, coffee , espresso and cookies. They use organic milk and organic cream. We ordered, -Bacio di latte and pesca -Stracciatella and bacio di latte and cioccolato belga -Caramello salato and crema Torino and bacio di latte The service was fast. The server was such a sweet and friendly young gentleman. My husband enjoy his Pesca Gelato. It was a refreshing peach sorbet.His second scoop was Bacio di latte. It had creamy texture with nutty hazelnut combined with light chocolate flavor. Stracciatella was light ,smooth and silky with chocolate pieces incorporated in the Gelato. It gave such a delightful taste. Cioccolato belga had extremely rich flavors and it is perfect for chocolate lovers. Crema Torino was full hazelnut experience as they described. It was fresh, silky and rich. Caramello salato had a nice balanced salted caramel flavor. Overall, their Gelato's flavors were excellent. We also ordered two drinks Iced sweet bacio latte and Iced caramello latte. The drinks were refreshing but they were not the best drinks I tried. I got pecan pie bar because it looked so good. I was glad it tasted delicious as it looked. We had great time and we enjoyed high quality and fresh ice cream. read more

Transport me to Italia! The gelato is delicious. Period. It was so good that we ended up going there 3 times in 2 weeks taking separate groups of friends who all loved it. It's always a fun experience to sample the different flavors. The Giandujotto (hazel nut and chocolate) tastes like a Ferrero Rocher while you can't go wrong with the classics like Straciatella, Mint Chocolate Chip, or Salted Caramel. For all the coconut fans, get the Cocco Rio - it hits the spot! They use organic milk and cream and make the gelato fresh daily. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and is a great dessert spot that I predict will win local awards shortly! read more

Could not resist the sweet gelato fragrance as we passed by so we went in and got a piccolo cup of tiramisu and pistachio gelato. Tiramisu had more coffee notes, and the pistachio had a salty aftertaste at first but it grew on me and loved it even more. The workers were kind when serving us samples and we chatted about local events during checkout. It was so cute inside with small, round tables and natural lighting. No photo of our cup because it was so good! read more

It's a Bacio di Latte - of course it's amazing! These shops have been popping up all over LA and each is as good as the last. This location is mere blocks from the Promenade. It's fairly small but there is seating indoors and a few small tables outdoors as well. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the gelato is as delicious as you might expect. We loved the new Cocco Rio flavor with the crunchy bits. I have no doubt that we will be back read more

Bacio di Latte was introduced to me several years ago at Century City mall where I vividly recall really good gelato and maybe staring at Drew Scott from the Property Brothers a little too long. Color me surprised to see it in Santa Monica this time around. Looked at the menu and while I toyed with the idea of getting two flavors in a piccolo, the affogato was what called to me, specifically the pistachio one which matched my outfit today no less. The affogato comes with one giant scoop of gelato and a freshly pressed espresso for you to pour over if you dine in, which you should try to. There are limited tables but I do feel like it turns over quickly. The presentation was top notch! The flavor? Equally delicious! It was also not shy with the pistachio which I really appreciated! Highly recommended! read more

We couldn't make the drive from Zuma beach Malibu last Friday and ended up mistakenly ordering more than we could eat ... so our delivery guy picked 5 QUARTS of ice cream. Tasting this ice cream was so decadent that image after image from my past descended like the scenes from Ratatouille where the critic Anton Ego goes back to his childhood. We gladly gave up a quart of ice cream away as our freezer door was jamming up so badly that using my leg to push it close wasn't working. I can't remember the flavor we gave away, but I can tell you the remainder 4 quarts was better after a week than anything I can buy locally. A true shame because supporting the local business is my priority but the local shop in Point Dume is beyond mediocre lately. This ice cream is way better than Grom Italy, yes it was gelato but the ingredients were the stars not the sugar, and the same is true with Bacio di Latte. Best Pistachio ice cream outside of San Gimignano, Italy, amazing Hazelnut and next favorite is the Belgian chocolate. We just tasted Crema Torino and is like we just discovered our new sweet. I am so glad they have several locations around LA, and ultimately this business is going to be around because their ice creams are great and the service is excellent. Initially we dropped by the location on Sawtelle and the kid manning the shop was focused, polite and knowledgeable to entertain our curiosity as we had no idea about this ice cream. Fantastico! read more

Bacio di Latte is a real one. My daughter and I come here weekly--it's our sweet spot in Santa Monica. There are tons of flavors to choose from (almost overwhelming in the best way), and every bite is super smooth, lite and creamy. I usually go for something chocolatey and nutty in a waffle cone with Nutella and nuts. The cone itself was perfectly crisp. Love that you can sample flavors for free! The space is bright, clean, and welcoming. Indoor seating and a few outdoor tables make it a great place to enjoy your gelato. Service is always kind and helpful--sometimes a little slow due to tastings, so plan for a 15-30 minute visit. If you are in the area, get your Euro slow food on at Bacio di Latte! read more

Obsessed! It really is a problem how close this place is to me. From the moment I tasted that delicious buttercream pretzel, I was hooked. The pricing is outrageous for ice cream but that doesn't seem to stop me. I keep going back to get more. So, stay away unless you want to get addicted to their delicious creamy flavors. From strawberry shortcake to caramel coffee, they have it all. It also doesn't help that they have such welcoming employees and that they provide your doggo with their own ice cream. read more

This place is truly the one! There are so many flavors to choose from -- it's almost overwhelming in the best way. Every bite is incredibly smooth and creamy, like a feather gently brushing down your throat. I went with a waffle cone with Nutella Nuts. The cone was delicious with a nice crisp, but the Nutella flavor on its own was a bit too sweet for me. Buonissimo! I also tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch -- a perfect blend of peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel. It had that slightly crunchy "tree-tree" texture (you know what I mean if you've had it!). Plus, the staff even scooped a little extra piece of chocolate on top as a special touch! Then there's the Cioccolato & Menta (Mint Chocolate Chip) -- my go-to flavor wherever I go. A timeless classic! This version has a stronger minty kick, giving it a super refreshing finish. Absolutely love it. read more
