Wow who knew gelato in Riverside could be so good? Their display cases are so enticing you cannot walk out without getting a scoop. The workers were so friendly and let me sample a bunch of flavors before I settled on the mango and pistachio. Weird combo I know, but they were my favorites. Each flavor tastes fresh and curated to perfection. It's the perfect sweet treat to end your day or for a midday pick me up.
Love me some gelato! This place was quiet busy on a Saturday evening The location is small so be prepared to wait in line, but don't worry, it's worth the wait! We were able to small their delicious flavors. Incredibly rich & creamy! We were served quickly and their scoops are no joke, definitely a bang for your buck !
Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 I stopped by Benedetto Gelato in Riverside, located in the Farmhouse Collective area, after a hike when I was looking for something sweet--and I'm so glad I did. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted right away. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they were very patient while I took my time deciding (everything looked so good!). I was able to sample a few flavors, and the mascarpone raspberry absolutely blew me away--honestly one of the most delicious gelatos I've ever had. Of course, I had to order it! I also tried the Belgium chocolate chip cookie and asked for it to be warmed up--which is exactly how you should get it. It makes it taste freshly baked and really elevates the experience. While it was definitely tasty, it leaned more toward a cake-like texture, and I personally prefer a more classic chewy cookie . The shop itself is super cute--very aesthetic, light, bright, and colorful. It has such a welcoming and quaint vibe. You can also enjoy your treats outside and people-watch around the Farmhouse Collective, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, I highly recommend this spot. Friendly service, amazing gelato, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!
I stop by the farm house collective and found some delicious gelato at Benedetto . I went with the monthly concoction I forgot what exactly was included however i was in peanut butter heaven!! The creamy smooth texture of the gelato mmm mmm! There was also the cheese cake biscotti I tried and was also equally good. Would recommend stopping by and treating yourself. Customer service was excellent!
Cutest Spot! First time in this little shopping village and came to Benedetto Gelato specifically for the "Biscotto PB & Mermellatta" which is basically a PB&J Cookie. While there, I also got the "Biscotto Belga" (Belgium Chocolate Chip Cookie), and Cookies and Cream Gelato to take home. Sanya is who helped me and she was super sweet and informative. The location is super cute, small, and clean - and the prices are what you'd expect. * The PB&J was absolutely delicious. It's served warm - DELICIOUS! My only input is more jam! Either in it or on the side for those who want to add more to each bite. * The Belgium Chocolate Chip Cookie was good. Soft and flavorful. I haven't had any of the gelato yet, but I'm sure it's going to be just perfect. I do anticipate coming back to this shop, but also to check out the little village it's in - The Farmhouse Collective.
My parents are visiting from Hawaii & when my mom said she had the mint chip the last time she said it's the best she's ever had in her life. Of course we had to come back! The biscotti cookie was delicious as well! The service was also absolutely amazing! I love that they put an extra chocolate on top when we asked for it.
My son loves this place and always asking to go back. The shop itself is small and cute. Theres lots of outdoor seatings. The ice cream and everything here is made from scratched. That explains why it tastes amazing and the quality is there. Looking forward to trying more flavors.
Absolutely amazing service from Andres! Got to sample a few flavors as a first timer and these flavors were bomb! Mascarpone and berries had a fresh yet velvety sweetness that is a must try. The caramel cappuccino had a legit and strong espresso kick with a touch of cinnamon. And the pistachio was rich, creamy, and full of fresh and crunchy pistachios that balanced out all the flavor combos! Ambiance is chill with plenty of outdoor seating in the Farm House Collective.
Delicious gelato! I got the tiramisu and stracciatella flavors. The tiramisu was good but a bit too sweet for me. I liked the stracciatella more as it was less heavy. The staff were very nice and helped us try as many flavors as we wanted before deciding on what to order. There isn't any indoor seating but there are some benches and tables outdoors. I have to say though, the price was a bit outrageous for such a small cup of ice cream
We went to Benedetto Gelato this evening and the line consisted of AT LEAST 40 people! So listened to the awesome Latin Music and enjoyed watching people dance, while patiently waiting for our gelato line to lessen! We were NOT disappointed and the WAIT WAS WORTH EVERY SPOONFUL! My daughter and I shared the MASCARPONE & FRUTTI DI BOSCO and BISCOFF CHEESECAKE, and were in awe of the authentic taste we experienced! It was like biting into a memory of our Summer in Italy, waiting for the next sunrise to try a new gelato shop! Now, minus the long air flight, we get to drive a few miles away and try a new flavor! Thank you Benedetto Gelato, for making your home in Riverside! Che Delizia!
This gelato spot is a gem! I tried it for the first time the other day with my Fiancée and it was honestly really good. I'm not a big fan of sweets but this spot takes the cake. I tried a lot of their flavors before deciding which one to order. We ended up getting their cookies and cream, apple pie, and vanilla as our base. It was a really good combo. Like I mentioned, I don't like sweets as much but their ice cream was so good I'd love to comeback. I definitely would recommend this spot for anyone who wants a sweet treat. Also the interior of this shop was very pretty and clean. Staff were very nice and welcoming.
Benedetto is a great place to get ice cream or a cookie. So far this has been my most visited place in The Farmhouse collective and one of the best place to get quality ice cream in Riverside. The shop is nice, like many shops in this complex seating is all outside. You can sample flavors and they have your traditional flavors like pistachio and cookies and cream as well as other unique flavors. Cookies are great, I thought the coffee was just okay here. Great ice cream shop to visit and one of the best in the IE.
Gelato and service are great, however it seems the serving portions are extremely limited when requesting cup servings, recommend getting the cone instead.

I tried the sorbet, and it was incredibly refreshing and delicious. I also purchased 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies, which were warm, fresh, and very good. Of course positioned right where you pay. The gelato, what they're best known for looked amazing. So many customers mentioned they were repeat visitors specifically because of the gelato, which says a lot. I didn't try it on this visit, but I'll definitely be back for it. They also let you sample one or two flavors, but I chose not to because there was a long line behind me, and after waiting myself, I wanted to be considerate of everyone else. There was only one employee working when I visited, and she handled everything exceptionally well. She kept the line organized, got everyone's orders correct, and still provided friendly service despite how busy it was. Inside was very clean. There's outdoor seating available, but no indoor seating. Also, just a heads-up...they're cashless. read more
The gelato here is chef's kiss. Just the perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness. Stracciatella is my go-to flavor and this is one of the best I've had. The staff are very patient, helpful, and friendly. They don't get upset or impatient if you're indecisive or needing to try multiple flavors. This is the perfect spot for dessert after eating at another Farm House Collective spot. You can't eat or hang out inside, but there's plenty of seating around the area. I don't think I would go here just for gelato since parking can be crazy, especially on Fridays and the weekend. read more

So good!! I went recently and got the vanilla, cookies & cream and the apple pie. Seriously so yummy. I got a size medium with 3 flavors for about $8. Staff is also so kind and let me try a few samples first before deciding. It's very bright and welcoming inside as well. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

What a cute gelato shop with so many flavors to choose from! I knew that I wanted to save room for gelato and I was glad that I did! We were greeted when we walked in and told about their holiday flavors. As soon as I heard pumpkin caramel, I knew it was a flavor I needed to try and I am glad that I did! I was able to try it before purchasing and I was sold! I got the smallest cup they have and I did ask for just one scoop and not two scoops that they offer! I love how bright the shop is and the lights on the wall! read more

Hi Melina!…
This is probably the highest caliber gelato I've ever had--coming from a self-proclaimed ice cream/gelato snob--and I found it in Riverside of all places. Just one block away from UC Riverside, look for the small red building that's a literal hidden gem tucked away in the Farm House Collective outdoor food hall. And the secret to why their gelato is SO dang good is because they've partnered with a world-renowned gelato chef who's basically a celebrity in the gelato trade. Everything is made from scratch, like the espresso they brew for the Cappuccino caramel flavor, and the undeniable quality of their ingredients like Belgian chocolate and pistachios imported from Italy in the Dubai chocolate gelato. Presentation is absolutely flawless, and this is the first place I've seen that can do a fancy dipped cone, but make it a cup! And this is a fire combo you have to try. Add the pistachio praline that's made in-house with the gelato, just trust me on this. The crunch, the texture, and the flavors just work so well together. A scoop of gelato starts at about 7 bucks, but you get a choice of 2 flavors and I promise, every bite is so worth it! Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Hi Sherry,…
Located in a cute outdoor food market, Benedetto is a great stop for dessert! The employees were generous enough to provide our group samples before purchasing! My personal favorite was the mascarpone cream which tasted like a light berry cheesecake! Although Bacio de Latte will still be my favorite gelato place in the IE, I'm glad we have a closer spot in Riverside! read more

Ciao Van,…
It was our first time coming to the Farmhouse Collective and we were so excited to see a Gelato spot, we HAD to try it. When we walked in, they had a lot of options to choose from. We were actually stuck on which ones to get because they all looked so good. One of the women behind the counter helped us out by recommending their most popular flavors and even her own favorites. We decided to get the Biscoff, Pistachio, and Cookies and Cream, and boy let me tell you... this Gelato is SO SO GOOD!! It is super creamy but not at all thick or heavy! The flavors were really good and sweet and we fell in love with everything about it. On top of tasting AMAZING, there were also plenty of places to sit right outside and all around the spot! The lighting and music makes it such a vibe so just sit and enjoy your evening, talk with friends, and hang out with family. If you are ever near, you HAVE to try this place!!!! read more

One of the few places that are actually open in this area & I understand the hype of it. Their gelato is creamy yet light & rich in their flavors...though, there's only so many flavors, they are delicious since I was able to sample some of them! One downfall is the price is a bit high in my opinion...other than that, friendly customer service who gave their suggestions of what flavors I should get! I got a scoop of the mascarpone & frutti di bosco which is basically a berry cheesecake flavor; pistachio, very nutty, yet earthy, and mango passione for that tangy and fruity taste. read more

Omg so good! Family visiting and wanting some ice cream. This is a great spot when you have visitors in town. Nice outdoor space to enjoy the day. Outdoor games and plenty of options. Service was welcoming and friendly, attentive and helpful. Sampled a few before making the final answer. Dubai chocolate of course and the hazelnut complimented each other perfectly. The cups are plenty in each serving. Clean and organized. Will definitely be back to try more of their flavors. read more

Ciao, Leilani, thank you for this wonderful review! We’re so happy…
Gelato Worthy of a Passport Stamp We visited Benedetto Gelato this past weekend and it absolutely delivered. I had the Limonata and the Benedetto, and both were incredibly refreshing, tangy, and full of real fruit flavor. It was like summer in a cup. My daughter went with cookies & cream and strawberry, which were equally delicious. Everything tasted authentic and perfectly balanced. The shop itself is beautiful and spotless, with a fresh, modern vibe. You can tell every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the branding to the display case. But what really made the experience special was the staff. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. They offered samples, answered our questions, and made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back, and next time, we're bringing friends. If you're in the area, Benedetto Gelato is a must. read more

First thing was the delightful greeting as we walked through the door. They have a good variety of gelato and sorbet, as well as a Belgium chocolate and Dubai chocolate chip cookies. I tried the pistachio, which is always one of my faves and it was delicious. I also tried the mascarpone frutti de boscoe, which tasted like a berry cheesecake, but lighter, also delicious! The shop was clean and smelled like the waffle cones that were being made. I would for sure come back here for a treat! read more

We found this place on a hot day and the gelato did not disappoint. I like that their flavors are clearly labeled and vegan ones have a leaf symbol. There were 4 vegan flavors today and while I really liked their vegan chocolate (reminded me of dark chocolate), we opted for Dubai Chocolate because it was so yummy. Strawberry and mango sorbet were also delicious with a good balance of tart and sweet. Prices are a little steep, but they do have a loyalty program and rotate flavors daily. This place is 4 months new with no indoor seating which is a real bummer because this is Riverside and gets really HOT. When I pay higher prices, I'd like to dine in peace and not distress. read more

We stopped by Benedetto Gelato while visiting a small market in Riverside. We're not from the area, so it was a fun little stop to explore and try some local treats. Since it was a hot day, gelato sounded perfect. My son got the strawberry, I had the raspberry and cream, and my husband picked a mixed flavor. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious--creamy, flavorful, and refreshing. The portions were generous, especially for around $6 a scoop, and they came in large waffle cones which made it feel like a treat worth every penny. Customer service was great too--friendly and helpful. If we're ever back in Riverside, we'll definitely make a point to come back for more! read more

Ciao, Ana, thank you so much for stopping by and for this fantastic…
Expensive, yes. Yummy, ABSOLUTELY. These days a single scoop is about $6 at your average shop, so the price here is well worth it. My favorite flavor was the Mascarpone with berries. Not too sweet, but the berries tasted so fresh. Also got the Hazelnut Crispy. Both flavors 10/10. Service was also fantastic despite only having one worker! We'll be back. read more

The interior was very clean, cool, and refreshing like their gelato. The worker was kind and let us try several samples before we settled on pistachio and mascarpone. Usually pistachio flavors are underwhelming due to its artificial flavor but theirs was nutty and creamy. The pricing is a bit high but worth it as a once in a while treat. Definitely will be back! read more
