Two scoops: fig on the top, pistachio on the bottom
Masanori D.

This is one of the two gelaterias that our hotel concierge recommended (the other being Gelateria Nico). I had the pistachio, the concierge's favorite, and the fig. The pistachio was really good, but I would not say it was amazing. The fig tasted like real figs. If you like figs, you would probably love it. The pricing was reasonable: 2 Euro for 1 scoop and 3 Euro for 2 scoops. Overall, I am very happy with my experience here, but they did not blow me away. So, I would probably not come back. There are many other gelaterias to try in Venice. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

It was a bit hard to find the first day, on day two... as we were looking we stumbled upon it. It is quite close to the square. My goodness this was delicious ... . so delicious. If we had more than two days we would have gladly gone EACH day. The woman working the shop, talked with us for almost and hour. but luckily we had no wait - (keep in mind it was raining, a lot, like we need to buy rain boots that day) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AS AN ABSOLUTE MUST!

Going one step further than even the best of its competitors by making everything including fresh cream on-site daily, La Mela Verde at Castello 4977 embraces Slow Food ethics with a focus on seasonally inspired fruit choices alongside all the classic flavors found at Geaterias throughout Venice, the space itself almost claustrophobic in its closeness with a tall freezer-case offering the day's 16 varieties served in cubs, bowls, cones and freshly made crepes. Staffed by just one young woman, another similarly aged person barely visible at the back of the shop where many modern machines reside, it was just prior to 17h00 that our group of four entered the artisan shop beneath the sounds of overhead pop music, a few samples of flavors including Peach and the Cinnamon-soaked Byblos showing the base to be perhaps the most creamy in the Floating City with flavors that are quite intense. Eventually opting for another foursome, €1 added to the €4,50 cost by putting it on a housemade cone that was supporting but malleable to the tooth, one would have to think long and hard to recall a more natural Pistachio than the grey-green paline, a fact no less true when considering the toasty taste of Hazelnut while veins of crunchy Chocolate coursed through Fior di Latte in Stracciatella and crumbles freckled the Biscotto's Anise-scented Almond Cookie base.

Excellent!! Different flavors every day. Cheap and good gelato. Went twice in my tree day visit!

Cherry
Kelly C.

I had such a hard time deciding which flavor to choose but ended up with Amareno (cherry). It was soooo good and I loved the cherry pieces in it. Sadly, my gelato was melting so fast, I had to eat it really quick :(

Pistachio and pear
Jess P.

We loved our Gelato from La Mela Verde. I got the pistachio and my husband got pear. You can tell they use fresh ingredients not artificial flavoring in their Gelato. Give it a try!

Location in relation to San Marco. Don't trust Apple Maps.

When in Italy, I started catching on that my favorite affordable eats spots were bakeries. Highly…read morerecommend this bakery for their incredible pizza in Venice. My husband and I ordered 4 flavors (2 each) but we should've just shared 3 instead. Order and pay at the counter, find a seat, and watch for your order to be done. Loved the wine options. The small space fills up quickly but we were lucky to find a spot for 2 by the window. It was a great spot to people watch the street outside as well. After, walk a few blocks/steps to Suso for gelato/dessert!

I had an absolutely horrible experience here. I ordered four pepperoni pizza slices, and while…read morepaying, I accidentally tapped my card for the wrong bill. Instead of handling it professionally, a tall blonde employee immediately snapped at me, saying, "Why would you put your card down? That's not your bill." I apologized right away, but she continued to act incredibly rude--rolling her eyes, shaking her head, and talking under her breath while processing the refund. It only got worse from there. When I reached for a slice that had been placed in front of me, she barked, "No, that's not yours." At that point, I felt completely unwelcome and didn't even want the food anymore, so I asked for a refund so I could leave. She refused, claiming the pizza was already in the oven and that I "had to pay for it." She then tried to say I only ordered one slice, when I very clearly ordered four. The entire situation was handled in the most unprofessional, hostile way possible. There was zero accountability, no basic customer service, and the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable. I have never been treated like that at any business. Save your money and go somewhere else.
