Everyone knows Magnum ice cream. This location allows you to first, choose a plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream bar. Second, you choose what kind of chocolate you want it dipped in, white, milk, or dark. Third, you choose up to three toppings. Finally, you choose what kind of chocolate you want drizzled on top of it all. All that for €5.50, or €5.90 with an espresso. I chose crushed graham crackers, nuts, and brownies. For the most part, it's just like any Magnum ice cream bar you can get in the store. The toppings didn't taste fresh and didn't add any benefit to the ice cream bar itself. It was pretty neat to see them prepare it, but don't think I'd go back and get another one when I get almost get two from the market.
It's expensive 5.50 euro for one bar...but who doesn't want to blow money on making a custom magnum bar so I had to! You get one choice ice cream (chocolate or vanilla), one chocolate dip (white, milk or dark) and three toppings-plus a 'decorative' chocolate drizzle of choice. I would have loved a different choice in ice cream flavors (raspberry is my favorite magnum flavor) but like Victor Frankenstein it's all about the experience of creation. So get crazy, It's Alive! Lol. And fun. Magnum Bar creation- vanilla ice cream dipped in dark chocolate with almonds, hazelnuts and mix chocolate balls. Drizzle white chocolate.
After eating a large amount of gelato everywhere, we decided to stop by the Magnum store. It wasn't very busy when we got in and were immediately greeted by two friendly individuals. I read in previous reviews there were some service concerns, but luckily our experience was very polite and efficient. They explained how the create your own magnum bar worked and there are also picture explanations on the wall. You can pay extra to sit in or outside the building, or just walk around with your ice cream. The magnum bar comes from the package, but without any chocolate coating on top. You can pick from 3 chocolate coats and multiple toppings. Top it all off with a drizzle for a delicious experience. From the pictures I saw online, the toppings are seasonable and all may not be available at all times. We had almonds, cornetto and chocolates, plus marshmallows. It's a large portion, but oh so delicious. It may be a bit touristy, but a great way to have a delicious treat and keep strolling.
DIY magnum bars?! Ummm yes please! And at only €5, it was a lot less expensive than I expected! It's located right across the bridge next to the train station but it surprisingly wasn't too busy and the workers were fairly efficient. Although it doesn't have as many options as the magnum in New York, this was still pretty satisfying. You get to pick a base (vanilla or chocolate ice cream bar), a dipping chocolate (white, milk, dark), up to 3 toppings, and then a chocolate for the finishing drizzle. So much fun to see your creation come to life! And of course it's quality ice cream and chocolate because it is magnum after all. I got really excited when I saw this in Venice but they're apparently fairly common in Italy because I also came across one in Rome and it was a little cheaper there too. I'd definitely recommend taking a break from all the gelato and making yourself a customized magnum bar here :)
If you're a fan of magnum ice cream is this is a must visit! The selection of toppings and ice cream are great! It caters to all sorts of taste buds. Pairing your ice cream with an espresso shot gives you a nice little taste of Italy as they love their espresso! (Plus it's only €.50 more so why not!) Watch outs: The employees are a little crabby and not the friendliest. This is from multiple experiences not just one day. We went 3 times during our week long trip. Also MAKE SURE you are not eating your ice cream on the steps of the bridge located out front of the store. You will receive a €200 fine for eating in public. Make sure you are either paying a little extra to sit at the Magnum stores seating (yes they charge you to sit) or walk and enjoy the ice cream.
Omg omg omg this place was the most amazing ice cream experience ever!!! For €5 you get to choose your popsicle flavor (vanilla or chocolate), three toppings, a base coat flavor (dark, milk, or white chocolate), and then a drizzle flavor (same as base coat). Soooooo delicious & so fun! Loved every minute of it :)
Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 3.5/5 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. read more

Do not go here. Not good service. Ice cream is decent, but the cannolis are FAKE. We ordered two and they came out and they are just deep fried bread rolled up with cake frosting as the filling. We asked them where the real filling (ricotta cheese, confectionery sugar, etc.) and was told they said oh no that's too hard we use the filling and wouldn't take them back. Overpriced. Tourist trap. read more
Reading the yelp reviews, I knew the ice cream is straight out of package. However staying at a place very close to this store, it was pretty hard to resist not going in. It is 5 euro for one bar and you can choose from chocolate or vanilla bar, dark, milk or white chocolate covered, and three toppings of your choice. The icecream was good but nothing special. What I couldn't believe they charge 7 euro to sit at the cafe. It was still kinda fun to customize my own Magnum bar though! read more

Tourist Trap - Get a magnum bar from your local grocery store. Drizzle some caramel on it, add a few toppings. Wait in line for 10 minutes and pay 4.50 Euros (approx $5USD). That is the equivalent experience. read more

I always stop to have ice cream no matter where I am, but I had to stop at magnum because it is my favorite brand of ice cream. This was the first magnum ice cream place I've ran into! It was busy, but worth the wait. They allow you to choose 3 toppings, your type of ice cream flavor, coating and chocolate drizzle to finish off of what they call "my magnum" ice cream bar! Definitely worth the trip! Affordable and tasty! read more
