Exceptional Gelato in Isola. Looking for the best Gelato in Milano can be frustrating - they tend to all be pretty f**king awesome, and ranking them can end up being an exercise in "The very last one I had was the best". This is another in that list - it's just plain excellent. All the flavors are clear, clean, and intense, the texture is correct, it's not heavy, etc. etc. Mind you, you'll probably end up sitting on the wall right outside consuming the gelato because, well, why wait? Anyhow, if you're in Isola, stop by... read more

Gelateria Borsieri - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Great ice cream, the best pistachio flavor in Milano! Good prices and big choice of flavors.

I don't know how to say this without using superlatives. I was visiting Milan and stayed nearby this gelateria, and after sampling gelato all over Italy, I simply never tasted anything quite as good as Gelateria Borsieri. I'm not sure what they do to it, but it is the best gelato I have ever had in my entire life. I've lived in New York, the Bay Area, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and no gelato I have ever had in any of those places compares to Borsieri. The ice cream is so incredibly rich, creamy, and flavorful, and doesn't taste artificial at all--every flavor we tried was just astonishing, and we ended up planning our time in Milan around being able to go here 1-2 times a day. Particular standouts were the nocciola, the fondante (which is a sort of very, very, dark chocolate, almost black in color) the pistachio, the biscotti gelato (which tastes like a real, non-artificial, fresh biscotti, I have no idea how that's even possible) and the Cremino--oh my god, I'm not even 100% sure what the Cremino is, but I have looked everywhere online to figure out how to make it or to confirm what the hell it is. (I think it's like a hazelnut-chocolate hybrid, but it's richer than nutella or anything like that). Gelato is served in a cup or cone with a huge wafer in the center. The presentation also gets an A+... I don't have a picture but see what others have posted. Also funny thing I noticed while I was here--there's another gelato place across the street, and I saw an employee from that gelato store come over to this one to get an ice cream sandwich, while still in uniform. Seriously, I am surprised that this isn't listed in one of those American food shows yet, because this is a heavenly, undiscovered gem. I am literally debating whether I should go back to Milan merely so I can eat their gelato again. Yes, that sounds insane, but it's true--I am hoping to plan a vacation to Italy to stay in the Isola neighborhood just so that I can eat gelato here as much as possible. If they could ship it in liquid nitrogen, I would spend $100 just to have a few pints of their Cremino delivered here in the United States. If I were given the option of giving up sex for a month in exchange for being able to eat their gelato every other day, I would do it in a heartbeat. read more

Truly truly the best gelato I have ever had. We tried a lot of places in Milan, but this place was the best. We went everyday. The Lemon sorbet is heaven, I suggest you try it! read more
