WOW JUST WOW. The ignorant workers in there told me I couldn't try any flavors unless I commited to buying and refused to let me taste anything. Then they started speaking about me in Spanish. When did CLASSLESS service like this become OK? I walked out. Venchi in NYC is super trashy. I don't understand bc the ones in Milano don't force you to buy anything without tasting and are very welcoming. The entire point of tasting is to decide if you're interested. IT'S NO WONDER AMORINO AND GENTILE ARE DOING BETTER. read more

Venchi remains a 5 star review in my books. As a chocolate lover, I absolutely love coming here for the gelato, the aesthetics, the chocolate.. everything. If you're buying chocolate, milk baciodidama is my favorite. It has a small crunchy layer at the bottom that I looooooveeeeeee. Also don't sleep on the hazelnut spread - a must if you love nutella!!! Last time I was there one of the workers was soooooo darn nice, helped me pick chocolate out and gave me free samples as I decided which ones I wanted :) TY for being so kind. read more

I've been to several of these around the world and this location seems to be the largest and the nicest I've been to worldwide. The staff were nice and attentive and the quantity and quality are great. They'll let you sample before you commit to your flavors. In my case I choose three but only sampled one. I highly recommend you get the cone with dark chocolate and roasted or candied hazelnut. It's great. You can't be disappointed especially if you're a chocoholic like me. Wish I could sample the chocolates too. read more

Great place for dessert. Even when it's cold. They have some seating in the back. No line when we went. I got a baby size with a chocolate coating on the cup with vanilla. Super good and the perfect size for me. They sell chocolates too. read more

Lost me as a customer thanks to the people working here on Tuesday 04/15 at 9:45pm. After a long day, just wanted to quietly relax. The level of rudeness while I was ordering was appalling, not just towards me but all customers. At the same time the employees were goofing around with each other, only to flip their demeanor when talking to customers. read more

For the gelato, you pay at the counter by the entrance before you see or pick your flavors. The service was quick, and the portion size was large but it was also expensive. I got the strawberry and the orange passion fruit. Both flavors were distinct and the texture was smooth and light. I appreciate that they have some seating, even if it is organized a bit awkwardly in a V shape. We didn't look at the chocolates but there seemed to be plenty of options. read more

Beautiful store with a chocolate waterfall in the back. The entire place is filled with so many varieties of chocolates and looks impressive. I picked some that looked fancy and delicious as a gift for a friend. Ice cream and gelato are also delicious. We tried the regular size cone that had tiramisu and vanilla. The tiramisu was great. With the cone you get to pick the flavor dipping. read more

Friends and I went after dinner around 8:30 and it was not crowded at all. Staff were nice and organized. We paid for our sizes while standing in line so once we got to the counter we could try/order our gelato. I decided to splurge with the chocolate and hazelnut inside the cup- SO YUMMY!! If you love chocolate and hazelnuts- it's worth the extra money. I think i'll always get the additional chocolate with hazelnuts now. It paired so well with the 75% chocoviar. Can't wait to go back! read more

Popular spot for a late time snack. Theres always a line when we pass by this spot but I think its worth it. We grabbed a couple of brutto and buono and mango gelatos. Both were good with a rich flavor. The decor is chic, nice for pics and to bring visiting friends. Service was relatively quick and friendly despite the line. They have vegan options for those with dietary retrictions which is a plus. I would return to try new flavors! read more

I have been meaning to try this iconic gelato place since maybe last year. They have several locations in NYC but the Flatiron one (just across of Union square) is the most popular. The lines outside were long but moved fast. We got the Pistachio gelato (one of our favorite flavors) and believe me when I tell you it tastes as creamy as it looks. I can totally see it melting very quickly if eaten outside when it is hot. They had several crepes and drinks on the menu as well, which I plan to try during my next trip. They have a seating area with a really ugly brown couch which is surrounded by their famous walls of cascading liquid chocolate - meh. read more

A must-go-to spot for gelato! Recommend the straciatella for something nice and smooth and the chocoviar for those who love chocolate. Service is fantastic and definitely recommend trying flavors when you're here. Seating available towards the back by the chocolate waterfall and some tables outside in summer weather. read more

I HIGHLY recommend the Nougatine; An extra dark chocolate with caramelized hazelnuts. That added crunchy texture and flavor from the hazelnut is what makes this so tasty for me. They have several flavors and also they sell artisanal and other high quality chocolates as well. Definitely glad we found this spot by dumb luck on our way to dinner. read more

Cute spot in Midtown for ice cream, was busy late on a Saturday night. I got the mango gelato and it was super creamy and tart - delicious! Also came with a chocolate coin on top. One of the better gelatos I've had in NYC! Would give this place a 4.5 but rounding down to 4 due to the cramped storefront. read more

If you love gelato and chocolate, this is your dessert place. The dessert place is so adorable. There is a chocolate waterfall in the back of the place. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The staff was also passing out sample chocolates to try as we waited in line to order ice cream. I got the hazelnut gelato. The hazelnut gelato was bomb asf!!! You can taste the hazelnut and of course, the chocolate just sealed the deal! The chocolate was rich and smooth, it went perfectly with the hazelnut gelato. Thai gelato spot is on the more expensive side. But it's still worth a try! read more

It was one of those days when you are exploring NYC, just trying to find new spots and then I found Venchi.... I would like to start mentioning that I didn't know it was possible to make all those different chocolate flavors plus using them as a creative way to decorate the shop!! You will find in here a bunch of different chocolates to try if you are a lover and also different gift options. On the other side, their gelato was incredible tasty and with everything you can ask for a gelato (Spoiler: they add a small pice of their chocolates on top of your cone) One of my favorite part of this experience was that at the back of the shop, they have a simulation of a chocolate fountain where you can sit to enjoy your goodies. With that said, I would recommend this place for a friend date, a romantic date or just to enjoy a sweet craving. read more

I didn't have their ice cream but got the cocoa. It was more like drinking chocolate which isn't necessarily bad but I think it should be branded as that. It was very rich and thicker than expected but it was delicious for sure. Service was kind of slow, there was only one gentleman at the counter read more

Stumbled upon Venchi randomly and that chocolate fountain inside is such a cool photo opp. Candies are on the pricier side, but they also serve a variety types of gelato. Line out the door on a Saturday night. Inside seating is limited but it is near the chocolate waterfall fountain. Staff are accommodating. read more

Good if you are craving for a gelatto. Theie dark chocolate is really legit and the pistachio was perfect as well. You can choose from different cone types and the staff is very friendly when I asked to sample the flavors. The only downside is that compared to Anita for example, the portion is smaller and there are less flavours to choose from. So 4 stars read more

This place is so cool! Chocolate heaven!! We randomly found this place yesterday after walking around the park.The line was out the door.The girl at the register saw that we were new to this place and answered questions we had my hubby was looking for a refreshing coffee drink she told him about this one that had there gelato and it was absolutely delish! She also let us skip the line for some reason LoL. While she made my husband's espresso gelato drink small $8 I shopped for chocolate.The selection of chocolate was so overwhelming,I wanted to try everything! Walking out we both looked at each other and said why didn't we get a gelato they looked out of this world! Next time... read more

Venchi has an insane array of vegan chocolates, including one of my favorites, gianduja (at least three varieties), all of it clearly marked with the happy V. Head to the wall, my friends. An entire wall of chocolates that you can individually pick for a gift box or a bag so you can gorge later. My husband became kind of obsessed with their gelato on past trips to Italy and I had no idea they have been in NYC for years. Weird I've walked past it many times without even noticing it until yesterday. We were hot and rather grumpy but just the sight of Venchi turns them frowns right upside down! As far as vegan gelato goes, sadly there is none. They do have several fruit sorbets and a chocolate sorbet too. Not too exciting, and not the best sorbet I've ever had (head to Veniero's for that). But that wall of chocolate! What! read more

I do prefer more fruity gelato MANGO in the cup with milk chocolate medallion toping, as well do purchase milk chocolate for my studio. It's a little bit long line to wait like most popular place with tourist, but well organize with impress service. Had been mentioned there are more than 140 years of history, today Venchi earned international recognition: with more than 350 chocolate recipes and 90 gelato flavors, is found in more than 70 countries in key cities like London, Hong Kong, Dubai and New York. read more

Excellent ice cream and a huge variety of chocolate. I don't know as many ice cream spots, this surely is delicious and a must have. 1 star for Customer service. I saw enough people behind the counter not busy and the wait time was too long, as it look like only 2 people were serving the ice cream. Because of my curiosity to taste this place I waited about 25 mins. To get an ice cream cone. Service too slow. read more

I've always wanted to try venchi because of how opulent the store looks but am usually deterred by the line of tourists! I came to the union square location on a Thursday night and luckily didn't have an issue. The gelato was good, but I will admit that I think there are better gelato spots (like Anita's). I did like the union square location though a lot because there was a ton of seating available both in and outdoors! We were a group of 10 people and they were very quick in getting our orders! I also liked the level of customization - you can add milk chocolate inside the cone, decide what toppings flavor your cone, have a decent amount of ice cream flavors to choose from, and can get many chocolate added to your already full cone!! I would come back again! read more

Yes I'll still make room for this after overeating. I'm not sure if you always get a chocolate coin but I was glad to be served one. I chose the dark chocolate over the milk chocolate. It's under $7 for a baby scoop. read more

One of the most flavored ice cream I've tried in a while. This falls in the top 5 all time gelato spots. All the flavors are delicious and rich!

Venchi is all over Italy in airports and train stations and whatnot. While I haven't actually tried it in Italy, I did think the gelato at the first NYC location was awesome. I tried a regular cone with raspberry and giandujotto Venezuela - fantastic combo. Line was long but moved fast. They also have chocolate truffles, bars and other treats for sale! read more

I love getting Icecream from here, at Venchi. Taste so good and the customer services are great. this location is less flavors than West Village location i think..... We actually received the Recipes, but the cashier told us after we got the Icecream.... The reason why we asked, last time one of the workers lost it.... :( we got the Icecreams and it started to melt.... But he kept telling us after...... The other person came to help us. I think it's better gave it to us. (just print twice for the server and us) it's hard to grab it after we have the Icecream in handy. I hope they understand the situation. We'd come back again. I love this location personally! so cool. read more

Zero value for money. I get it, it's New York City. Its 2022. Interest rates and inflation are through the roof but that does not mean it's ok to rip your customers off. It's gelato for crying out loud! It's not supposed to hurt but this one did! I got a small scoop of their 75% dark chocolate gelato on a cone. And I was shocked with how little was scooped up. And for $7 with tax no less! I thought she would go down for a second scoop but no. She stopped after the first scoop, completely oblivious to my wide eyes that said "that's it?!" And the scooping is a painful process to watch. They scooped it like was semi hardened cement. Once they had a decent amount on the scoop spoon, they would scrape it off on the sides of the tray and start all over. I watched them do that at least 5 times until they had a teensy amount. Then begins the fight to get it to sit on the cone. The gelato would fall off the cone every time they would try to get it off the scoop spoon to land on the cone. Even the gelato knew it was being coerced into daylight robbing a gullible customer and it wanted no part of it. The 75% dark chocolate gelato tasted rich and great. I need to mention that I've had the gelato at the Venchi in Milan and my experience was nothing like this. I won't be hitting Venchi to satisfy my gelato craving again. The two stars are for the hazelnut egg she offered to top off my gelato. Probably as an afterthought after the incredulous look I shot her. read more

We accidentally stumbled on this Venchi while just walking around the Union Square area, waiting for our reservation. This Venchi is a lot bigger than the others that I've been to - the one in Short Hills Mall in NJ and the one in Columbus Circle. I had really just wanted to pick up some chocolate bars, because I've been craving some high quality dark chocolate late - just plain. They have literally every single chocolate bar that they sell on the internet, so I was happy about that. If you're looking to buy chocolate bars, this is the one to go to. They also sell their ever popular gelato and coffees and hot coco. Staff were very nice and helpful. read more

We had walked by this location several time and always noticed they had lines out the door in the evening. On our last night in NYC, we decided to go ahead and pop in. They were having a summer special featuring two flavors. I remember thinking the pistachio was just okay (I've had better) but the straciatella was nice. We also grabbed some loose chocolates to snack on later, even though the bulk price was not cheap. I'm glad we went and enjoyed gelato in NYC. read more

If there was a diabetic planet, this shop will be an alien in it. Have you watched chocolate fountain inside transparent walls? Well, check out this store! We randomly ran into this store while walking from Union Square towards Flat Iron. Inside the store, it's just sugar-vibes all around the place - walls full of chocolate bars and toffees and customers buzzing around the ice cream and gelato counters. We got ourselves few chocolate bars and they are authentically too delicious. Ice creams, we will come back for them another day ;) read more

Ordered: Regular Cone (~$7) with Milk Hazelnut Grains (+$2): half Strawberry Stracciatella (strawberry & chocolate chips) and half Tiramisu (Mascarpone, coffee, & cocoa) Aya's take: For a simple gelato cone, it's a bit pricy. The strawberry, chocolate, and tiramisu flavors actually mixed together nicely. The gelato is well-made, no argument there but it is definitely not a place I would frequent. Also, the menu says the extra Milk Hazelnut Grains is $1 but I was charged $2. Unfortunately, they don't have a screen where you can see what you're charged until you get your receipt. read more
