The people we met there were extremely friendly, and were excited to tell us their restaurant recommendations and even took us through the store showing us their favorite local GF pastries. They told us the owner trains and tests the restaurants regularly, so you can trust their recommendations to be well vetted. The most unique thing we saw while there was pre-made ice cream in a gluten free cone. There were also baking supplies, candy, and lots of interesting pasta shapes that are difficult to find GF in the US -- it's just sad pasta is difficult to put in a suitcase without crushing. Overall the selection was slim. Of course; this is from the perspective of someone living in SF who has lots of access to GF items; so take that in context.

It was 8:00 on a Saturday, well before the town woke up, and the staff were already girding for an intense day, which bled over into the ambiance. Fun fact: I learned here that a pain au chocolat and a "chocolate croissant" aren't necessarily the same thing! The latter is a chocolate cream inside a plain croissant, not dissimilar from something you'd eat in a donut.

Started in 1948 by Luciano and his wife, it's now run by their two sons. The warmth and hospitality of a family owned business shines through and they're proud to show the quality merchandise they have on hand. A dizzying 600 Italian wines can be found towards the back of the store and you're welcome to stay and peruse as long as you want. We choose a half bottle of Moscato for the bf's sister in law which went well with the biscottis they had on hand too. They carry a good variety of chocolate and candies, pastas, dried goods etc. But you really need to come for the spices! Every spice known to man is here in this shop, kept in tightly sealed glass canisters or wooden boxes. They are weighed and you're charged accordingly. Don't miss their truffle salt and truffle butter! I only got mini bottles of both since there was no more room in our luggage! We couldn't be more happier with our purchases here and at a fraction of a cost if we would've gone to a big chain store. A great find!

Now, you might be someone who exhibits a great amount of self-control, and you think you should only get one - trust me, go for two (2), because after all, don't they say having a dessert in each hand is a balanced diet? You could just tell these delightful, feather-light pastries were going to be amazing, and they were! When you go, just ask for the Cretia Chantilly, or point them out in the case. Just get there early, as these tend to sell out especially during the busy tourist time. Otherwise, you'll be just fine.

The BEST Gelato We Had in Venezia!…read more As we wrapped up our day in Venezia and started making our way back to catch the train to Milano, we decided to make one last stop for dessert and I'm so glad we did! Without a doubt, this was the best gelato I had during my entire trip to Italy.I've been to Italy before, and this place is still my favorite. One thing I loved right away was that they let you sample the flavors before deciding, so you don't have to guess what you'll like. They also had plant-based gelato and plant-based milkshakes which was a huge plus for anyone who doesn't eat dairy. For such a small gelato shop, I was honestly surprised by how much they offered. They had a huge variety of gelato flavors, including Tiramisu Kinder Sorpresa Snickers and many others. They also had different cone options, including regular cones, chocolate-dipped cones, and sprinkle-covered cones. If you're not in the mood for gelato, they also had milkshakes and what looked like refreshing frozen drinks or slushies. I decided to get my gelato in a cone instead of a cup. I ordered the **Kinder Sorpresa and Snickers flavors, and they were absolutely incredible. The Kinder Sorpresa tasted just like the famous Kinder chocolate rich, creamy milk chocolate with a sweet cream flavor that melted in your mouth. The Snickers flavor was loaded with chocolate, caramel, and peanut flavor, just like the candy bar. The combination of the two was perfect. To top it off, my cone came with a thin, crispy cookie, which was a nice little bonus. Everyone in our group loved their gelato and milkshakes. The only exception was my sister. She ordered what I believe was the banana flavor, and she felt it was a little too basic for her taste. Everyone else, though, couldn't stop talking about how good theirs was. What made the experience even better was the customer service. The gentleman helping us was friendly, funny, engaging, and genuinely seemed to enjoy helping customers. He encouraged us to sample flavors and made the whole experience fun. If you're walking through the streets of Venezia this is a stop you don't want to miss. Whether you're craving gelato, a milkshake, or just a sweet treat before heading back to your hotel or train, this place has something for everyone. 10/10.Amazing flavors, lots of variety, great customer service, and hands down the best gelato I had in Italy.This is definitely a must-stop if you're visiting Venezia!

It could just be that I didn't care for the nutella and amaretto that much, though. Loses a star because teh employee got cranky with me when I said I wanted one size and then rattled off 3 flavors when the maximum was 2. That was my mistake. I don't remember seeing signage about the limits, so maybe they could put some up to prevent such miscommunications in the future. However, she got positively irritated with me at this point. When she confirmed I wanted three flavors, she dropped first cup in the trash. Maybe chill out (pun intended) just a little. Loses a star because the employee refused to take my credit card. I understand that businesses are required to take cards, even for small transactions.

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 3.5/5…read more I love Magnum ice cream bars - the decadent chocolate always knocks my socks off and the ice cream is always flavor and creamy. So I wasn't about to pass up the chance to get my own custom made ice cream bar. Basically you can have an ice cream bar dipped into thick milk chocolate or white chocolate coating and then drenched in toppings (you get three built in to the price). They make sure to absolutely coat every inch in topping, so it's worth the price. Although the bar lacked my favorite thing about the store brand (that thin liquidly layer of chocolate under the shell), it was still a more-than-decadent treat. They also have a decent amount of liquor offerings, and my wife (who was sticking strictly to gelato) opted for a high-end prosecco that was tasty and bubbly! That said, many of the critiques are true. The servers were inattentive at best. But nothing over the top that justifies a bunch of "1-star" ratings. And yes, you need to pay to sit at the indoor or outdoor searing - but that's true of virtually every Italian restaurant (so I'm not sure why other reviewers were so mad. Also, they had plenty of signs noting that they charge for seating). Also of note - and hitting my puerile sense of humor, Google Maps calls is the "Magnum Pleasure Store" when you're looking it up. So trust me, it's ice cream, not uhhhh something else. So a fun experience for sure, though definitely a "can do" experience if you're tired of gelatto, not a "must eat" place.
