Non ce n'è, Rivareno è il numero uno! Pur conoscendolo e sapendo quanto è buono, ogni volta che lo mangio è quasi una sorpresa, troppo buono. Mia figlia ha preso cioccolato e stracciatella, buonissimo ed io ho preso il mio consueto Gran Torino e pistacchio, favoloso. read more

Considered one of Milan's best for all-natural gelato, a locals sort of place far from the touristy part of town, RivaReno proved a worthwhile jaunt after visiting Quadrilatero d'Oro and Emporio Armani, the service a bit brisk and not particularly English-friendly though the product itself was smooth, airless and rich. Located on Viale Col di Lana, the address a bit perplexing given angular streets and a largely residential surrounding, entry to RivaRena sees patrons greeted by traditional metal containers with specialty flavors given names such as Leonardo or Alice, a four flavor cone eventually created at a cost of just €4. Taken by the variety of nut flavors, fruits largely represented as Sorbetti or Granita with approximately two-dozen total flavors daily, a first taste of Pistachio showed the light green concoction to be a bit sweeter than others in Venice or Parma, the Pinenut almost buttery in its finish while Wine and Gianduia ribboned a lighter style made from Mascarpone. Seeing some flavors dressed before serving, drizzles of Dark Chocolate and Housemade Caramel additionally offered for Sundaes with Whipped Cream, a scoop of Biscotti Cookie flavored Gelato from the "Novita" section was quickly topped with slivered Almonds and a spoon of Caramel immediately before being handed over, everything about the combination making it seem destined as a future special with a title. read more

This was our fifth stop for gelato in our three days in Milan. This place is more of a 4.5, but I'll round up :) Adam's friend who lived here for 4 years said this was his favorite place for gelato in Milan. I knew we had to try it. From our first four experiences, we had found that our personal preference was in the cup instead of the cone. We opted for the medium cup which came with two flavors (€3, ~$4). The gentleman behind the counter was nice enough to let us try some of the gelato flavors. Unfortunately, I found some of them way too sweet or rich for my taste. I went with pistachio and Alice. Alice was one of the Rivareno speciality flavors and consisted of hazelnut and mascarpone. This was definitely the lightest gelato we had during our whole trip. The consistency was perfect. Don't know if it is the use of less cream, more air beat in or just magic but we both LOVED the lightness of the gelato. It was evident that the ingredients used were high quality and the pistachio had a lovely saltiness that I really enjoyed. It's really hard to say whether I enjoyed Rivareno or Cioccolati Italiani more. I loved the lightness of the gelato at Rivareno. The taste of Rivareno's pistachio was my favorite of all the places we went but I really enjoyed that at Cioccolati Italiani there were pieces of pistachio. Such a coin toss between the two but they are both amazing. Go to both and make your own decision! read more

Rivareno - Pistachio and Alice (underneath) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Milan, Michigan

When I came here, there was a speciality gelato named Alice, and I knew it was fate. A gianduia (chocolate-hazelnut) sauce drizzled in a sugar cone and topped with a beautiful, creamy scoop of marscapone gelato. Not what I would have chosen normally but it was so delicious, and reminded me that there is no comparison to gelato in Italy. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Milan. read more

Absolutely fantastic gelato! We've walked here each night of our stay at a loft nearby for our vacation and nothing compares to its quality! The lemon and coconut sorbet is so fresh and delicious. The mango was fresh and simply perfection! The gianduia with chocolate, hazelnut and pistachio was heavenly. The creamy quality in each cup made us order less at dinner so as to have room for our nightly treat! I can't wait to come back to Milan and find more flavours to try. A true treat for the tastebuds! read more

Best Gelato in Milan - hands down! They have a great variety of special flavours as well as classics like cioccolato or nioccola. I would reccommend Alice or New York New York as they are unique and can't be found anywhere else. Their gelato is smooth, creamy and cheap! Make sure they give you the chocolate sauce or jam at the bottom of your cup or cone - it's delightful! read more

Wow. Don't go for the decor. Or slick service. But mama Mia - the food is off the charts. Fresh , wonderful , made with love. Simple but superb. read more

A taste of their ice cream and i thought i was in heaven! Now my calendar is spit in BR (before Rivareno) and AR (after Rivareno). read more

DELICIOUS! The best part of being in Italy is to get to have a lot of gelato. This gelateria has one of the best ice-creams I have ever had in Milan. Pistachio flavor is absolutely my favorite one and I usually mix it with dark chocolate. The taste of gelato is very rich, and creamy. This taste is in fact what I miss whenever I am away from Italy. read more

update: I have to take their quality down a notch. They have stores all over Milan now, but the quality control is there. Their pistacchio and nocciola are perfect. Their pine nut flavor is excellent. Their chocolate doesn't quite hit the level of Chocolat or Officine del Gelato. The only drawback is their cones, which they deliberately make flavorless so as not to distract from the gelato. read more

Smooth, flavorful gelato. The "contessa" flavor is particularly good. Yet after trying pistacchio, baccio, contessa, and marrons glacés - the last three of which are packed with nuts and candied chestnuts, respectively - I find that the taste does not seem to resonate in the way the taste of truly phenomenal food will. In short, Rivareno is satisfying and unique, but still not the best. read more

We've had THE BEST hot chocolate drink from Rivareno. It was so rich/tasty and oh so delicious. We also had their crepes and gelato--best gelato we've had in Milan. I think it's actually better than Latteneve. read more

Rivareno is one of my favourite places for ice cream in Milan. Their flavors are delicious and amazingly sophisticated, so it's particularly good to bring for a dinner with friends. Two small drawbacks: the choice is wide but not as much as other stores, and if you are looking for some very basic flavors, Rivareno might not be the place for you, even if it's worth a try in any case. read more

This gelato was just OK. Definitely not my favorite in Milan. It was very, very creamy and rich.

one of my two favorite gelato chains - get the fior di panna and alice (mascarpone, marsala and gianduja chocolate) or if you're feeling something really sweet, the white chocolate and rice krisp one read more
