Nice place to grab some gelato. They have a great selection and a lot of interesting flavours. I decided to go with the pear and brie which was refreshing and amazing. I also went with the After 8. It was okay but the mint was overwheming and not enough chocolate to balance it. However, I would for sure come back here again. It is small, and I can't say it would be comfortable to sit and have a long engaged chat. It is more of a place to grab and go. Service was okay but probably could use some more training.
This is a little gem to visit for gelato, ice cream, sherbert; along with specialty coffees or teas. They have a fair amount of options of deliciousness made to make you taste buds water! The location is very small, but they do have a small seating area to sit and enjoy a cold desert or cold/hot drink of your choice. They sell the gelato in tubs if you wish to grab and go as well. The restaurant is clean, and the service was fast during our visit. I would happily go here again.
Delicious gelato. Creamy and super flavourful. So many flavors to choose from. AUTHENTIC. This small joint on jasper avenue is a gem. They opened their first shop in florence italy. And miraculously the second was in edmonton. The gelato is authentic. I have been to italy and extensively sampled gelato all over the country. And ate it until i was sick before leaving. They have the typical popular flavours like chocolate, ferraro, and etc. But what i like is that they are quite inventful and have many flavours not offered anywhere else. Banana gelato was my favourite in italy and i have never been able to find it anywhere else. But la carriaia has it! My suggestion is to stick with the fruit flavours. The flavours are more intense and really are unique to this brand. I have never had a strawberry gelato as flavourful as this one. The best part of the gelato here are the chunks of fruit or nuts in every bite. This place is my go to place every time i drive by.
One of the best gelato places downtown - it's this or La Chocolaterie on 124 St, and this is much more convenient for central downtown. It's a small place but they typically have a big selection of gelato in a variety of delicious flavours. There are some vegan options as well as a wider choice of standard (milk-based) gelatos. A great option for a hot summer day!
We've been experiencing a bit of a heat wave the last while in Edmonton so having a gelataria around the corner from my office is awesome! And conveniently enough, today I didn't bring a lunch to work and decided at +25, gelato would make the perfect lunch. They have a wide variety of flavours available, that can be seen on the board outside their store front. However, in store, they only had about half of them. It's possible they rotate flavours or have them hiding in the back, but I didn't ask because the one I wanted was in the display case. They also have tiramisu, baked treats, and espresso drinks; however, I came for the gelato today I had one scoop of the toasted almond in a cup and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Super creamy, fresh with nutty notes and slivers of blanched almonds! You can also have the gelato in a cone, but I am a cup girl.. and if you are having a difficult time choosing between the options, dont be shy to ask for a sample/taste. The girl working was super friendly and helpful! The decor is super fresh and bright and there are a couple tables inside as well as out on the patio, so no matter the weather, you can can enjoy your gelato comfortably! I'll certainly be back for other flavours in the future and this was definitely a great way to do lunch on a Friday!
Love the selection of flavours - I have never seen so many gelato choices before, including vegan ones. However, I opted for a gelato milkshake, as I was hot and thirsty. For $8, it was a very small cup, and the shake was very loose (I expect a milkshake to be thicker). I do plan to return and will stick with the scoops.
I've never had gelato so good before. I've also never been to Italy. But I wouldn't doubt this must be quality stuff. The only La Carraia in Canada. Ingredients imported from Italy and no artificial garbage. I sampled about 6 different flavours and it was hard to pick just one. So I picked two. The fig and the yogurt Nutella. I honestly can't wait to go back for more. I can only describe it as what I would imagine eating clouds to be like. And best of all, this place is open EVERY DAY and LATE! Don't wait for warm weather. Live every day to the fullest. Go get yourself some gelato.
Couldn't CONE-trol myself and had to stop by for a scoop while in the area. This is my third time here and tried lemon, pistachio, tiramisu, and pineapple. All were true to flavour, creamy and tastes genuine to gelatos I've tried in Italy. It's a small store with limited seats. Not an issue during winter time though :)
I've been to La Carraia's gelaterie in Firenze so I was excited to try their Edmonton location. We shared a triple ($7.50) and opted for pineapple (like Dole Whip pineapple on steroids), mango (sweet and juicy) and passionfruit (wished it was tart). Texture was super smooth and creamy. Took me back to my travels in Italy. read more
It's been several years since my last visit to La Carraia. Happy to report that quality remains the same. Impressed they've opened up a third location out in Vernon. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 8:45pm). The worker was friendly and let us sample a couple flavours. There were 24 flavours of gelato and sorbet. I was shocked to see that the prices haven't changed; $4.90 (single), $5.90 (double) and $7.50 (triple). - Triple ($7.50) - pineapple, mango and passionfruit. Texture was luscious. Pineapple was light and airy. The mango was the perfect sweetness. The passionfruit was creamy but sadly didn't have any tartness. Perfect way to end our night. Love La Carraia. read more
We had a hard time choosing what we wanted - there are lots of amazing gelato options. Luckily, we each could try 3 samples, so that helped! I went with a classic, lemon. It was so creamy and refreshing; it wasn't too tart or overpowering, it was perfect! Cute small location with a couple tables outside - friendly service and good prices! read more

I couldn't believe it when I saw this their freezer... The flavours were authentic and not too sweet. It was the perfect cool Mediterranean treat for the 32 degree weather. read more

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I blame my horrible memory.. But it's never too late to give a solid 5 out of 5! I'm a huge ice cream lover, it's my weakness when it comes to desserts and I've had way too much ice cream in my days.. and this place takes the cake! I've been able to try a few flavors here and I'm always so impressed by how good their ice cream is! But before I get into that, as far as parking goes : unfortunately it is street parking so it might be harder to find a spot during busier hours. There is seating inside: it is a smaller place but it's never too busy so chances are there will always be a spot! The lady working there is really kind and very patient when it comes to my indecisive self! So don't be anxious if you're like me and you want to try out some flavors before you make a choice! Okay okay now on to my favorite part.. The ice cream! What's bad about it? Absolutely nothing : it's creamy and soft , the flavors are strong and natural tasting. And the choices they have are really unique!! Which is probably my favorite part about this place. They don't give you your standard vanilla and chocolate.. No no, You go in there and prepare yourself for some fig and cheese, pistachio, orange chocolate - nothing basic here at all! Both times I've gone I've ordered the fig and cheese because holy man that is the greatest thing I've ever had in my life. I was able to try some pistachio too but unfortunately it wasn't available the last time I stopped by. And it was definitely the best pistachio ice cream you will have. If it comes back it's a must because of the perfect balance of sweet and salty : it's amaaaaazing! Usually I would say I wish there was more of a selection but to be honest, the flavors here are SO unique so you always have something new to try. Their flavor and the quality really set them apart from other ice cream places - so if you're a dessert lover like me this is a must must must!! read more

Legit gelato shop in YEG...not too many of those here. Straight from Florence, this gelato spot does not disappoint. Delicious, creamy gelato with nice bold flavours. My fave is the milk chocolate and the pistachio. Adult and toddler approved! read more
Woohoo FINALLY a great gelato place in Edmonton!! This is legit authentic Italian chain- prices are what you'd expect from a good ice cream joint. Ample seating inside and outside. We tried the hazelnut and passion fruit, super flavorful and creamy. Will be back again!! read more

There's a little Italian gem hidden in the heart of Edmonton! La Carraia Gelataria Cafe offers the most authentic Italian gelato I have ever tasted (but I haven't been to Italy so...). Named after a bridge in Florence, this tiny cafe is located on 109 street in downtown Edmonton. It's in The Mayfair, on the same side as Splash Poke and Snow Bear. There are 30 rotating flavours, except for the bases such as Pistachio. After sampling a bunch of flavours, I decided on a scoop of their Strawberry Cheesecake gelato. It was delicious and creamy! How else do I describe such an unforgettable delight? All of their ingredients are imported from Italy, aside from fruits and dairy. You won't taste any of that fake (insert swear) here. Their gelato is made daily and usually lasts in the store for about 24 hours. If you're looking for lactose or vegan free gelato, dark chocolate and sorbets are your go-tos. Everything is gluten-free aside from gelato with a cookie or cracker on top. For those who want something different, there's a gelato sandwich. It's your choice of gelato between two warm brioche buns, topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. I was too full from dinner to try it during my visit but I'm definitely going to get it next time. Aside from gelato, they offer drinks, fresh banana bread, and different types of cakes! Their cakes aren't made from gelato but have more of a mousse-like base. With the warmer temperatures coming (hopefully), I'm sure this place will be busy with gelato lovers. If you're looking to take some home, that's an option. They offer catering too, I mean who wouldn't want to have a gelato party? read more
One of my favourite places to go for gelato. I have been looking for a gelato or ice cream parlour which sells a good pistachio flavour in Edmonton. Try some different places and so far this is the best for pistachio. That day I bought tiramisu and pistachio gelato read more
Best gelato in the city for sure! The pineapple and strawberry as definitely favorites and we often drive all the way across the city for a treat! Parking is the only nightmare as it's $5 to park at the nearest parkade. We normally do a 2 man drive by and the driver circles while we run inside. read more

This is the best gelato I have ever had. Ever. They have sweet and savoury flavours, and absolutely amazing customer service. We were able to taste test whichever flavours before ordering, and that made it so much more difficult to choose. I recommend the hazelnut or the coffee read more
