    We shop at Valley Fair mall quite often but this was the first time passing by Venci! I got a large size with the the Chocolate Hazelnut, the Stracciatella and the Pistachio flavors! Gelato was great. Reason for one star less is that the cone cost extra which isn't terrible but the sign says cone waffle cone included when ordering the large size (should've said included only if you get the cone and not the cup).

    Everything we've tried at Venchi has been quite good. The cool "chocolate" wall is to tempting to pass by. The gelato cones are so pretty and I like how you can customize your cone. The crepe was pretty good but very rich, so make sure you have some water on hand or gelato to eat with it. The workers are very nice considering they are in a stressful environment with a long line of customers. They also have an area where they have chocolate bon bons, bars, and such for sale.

    Matcha and Vanilla - Regular size

    Went here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no line. Service is indeed on the slower side but the worker is attentive and allows you to try as many flavors as you'd like. MATCHA GELATO (5/5) - Creamy and earthy, and tastes like a very high quality matcha. It's rich and not overly sweet. VANILLA GELATO (4.5/5) - Super creamy and on the sweeter side but it's vanilla so.. I found that it paired well with the matcha gelato. It's probably not their best flavor, but is great for people like me who love vanilla flavored stuff.

    It's my second time here and first time was 2 years ago. Came here on a Thursday night and the line didn't look long at all so we decided to get some gelato. Even though the line wasn't long, it did take awhile to order. The service here is a bit slow since there are less workers compared to other gelato spots. I got to sample a few different flavors and it was hard to choose just one. I ordered the small cup with chocolate inside w/piedmont hazelnut. It was so yummy. The texture of this gelato is more thick and it wasn't too sweet. The hazelnut flavor paired well with the chocolate inside. I would definitely come back again!

    So expensive... but so good. This is the place to go when you're craving full-bodied flavors of gelato. You have plenty of options at VF, but Venchi holds a special place in my heart as it's not too heavy, not too sweet, and really has a flavor for everyone. My previous go-to was a certain store located outside known for unique flavors that rotate every month. Unfortunately, their flavors have gotten a bit too crazy for me, and are oftentimes so sweet that it's hard to finish a single portion without sharing. At Venchi, I can easily eat a regular size by myself and feel so satisfied after. One thing to know before you go is that you pay first before you sample, so you'll need to commit to how many flavors and what size you want before sampling. I highly recommend upgrading to the freshly made waffle cone. There's a lot of other options like adding chocolate and other toppings to your cone, but that's completely up to you. As for the sampling, the people working there are very patient and generous, and will let you sample to your heart's content! If you have specific preferences (like you prefer less sweet or maybe even more sweet), they're happy to share their recommendations as well. My go to is pistachio and cremino, which is like a more hazelnutty version of nutella (and also less sweet than nutella). PS - make sure to sign up for their rewards program! They're running a promotion where you get a free mini bar of chocolate with a purchase of $20. After spending $40, you'll start getting 5% off future purchases.

    This was my first visit to this popular spot inside Valley Fair Mall. The decoration is incredibly eye-catching and creates a great vibe. They have a many selection to choose from, including ice cream, gelato, and sorbet. You can customize your order by choosing a cup or a cone (plain or dipped in chocolate and nuts). We tried a couple of options and they were all yummy! The line moves pretty slowly. When I visited, there was only one person handling both orders and payments, which created a bit of a bottleneck. It's definitely not cheap, so expect to pay a premium for the mall location and the quality. Overall, it's a great place for a high-quality treat if you aren't in a huge rush!

    Came here on a Friday night for gelato. Line was about five minutes, not bad at all. You pay before you try samples here, which makes sense but takes a second to adjust to. Staff was friendly, but ordering felt like running a gauntlet of upsells. Bigger cup size, nuts on the inside, add-ons across the board, all at steep markups. I declined everything and just ordered what I came for. Got the smallest size with two flavors: matcha and double fudge. The matcha was earthy and sweet, tasted like actual matcha. The double fudge was intense, almost like nutella. Both were genuinely high quality.

    Stefano and Monica helped turn a very unfortunate situation into a much better experience. After speaking with their team, I can say with confidence that they actually do care about our customer experiences and will work it make things right. Their gelato is still amazing and their local service has won us back.

    Chocoviar is absolute favorite for anyone with nut allergies. Though it's dark chocolate, it is not bitter or overpowering. Texture is smooth as any other flavor in Venchi. For my toddler, who has nut allergy, they made sure to grab her scoop of Chocoviar from their back store reserve just because a container of another flavor that had nuts in it, was placed next to the Chocoviar container. Definitely loved this kind of service

    The store front. The only thing opened this late night Saturday at 10p

    This was my first time ever going to this particular ice cream parlor and interestingly enough everything closed early on this particular Valentine's Day Saturday weekend!!! The gentleman got a bit confused that our order and we ended up getting three scoops instead of two, but that was fine. We got Matcha, mango, use lemon! Each flavor had a very unique, strong taste! I really like the combo of the Yuzu lemon and Matcha together!! The chocolate medallion wasn't to our liking, but we're picky when it comes to chocolate. Overall, the set up was a little time-consuming also, but there was one person scooping, one person at the register and another person. Very busy working to clean up everything in the back. The gentleman three people ahead less literally wanted to try every single flavor so the other people between him and us working a little frustrated. I figured since our dinner reservations weren't until 11 PM at Joey's it didn't really matter since we would be waiting regardless! Lol. Overall, I will definitely go back and try other ice cream or sorbets from this particular company since the flavors were so delicious and refreshing! I was also very happy that this particular ice cream parlor was open so late!!

    I saw a huge line for this place which peaked my interest. I've actually heard of this place before. Well known for their chocolate, so I wanted to try something. Honestly, I was pretty underwhelmed when I tried the gelato. We were also offered a piece of chocolate while we waited in line. That wasn't amazing either. I actually prefer Laderach's chocolate more if I were honest. Probably won't be back.

    stracciatella (chocolate chip), hazelnut, and bueno & brutto
    Jenny D.

    We got in line at Venchi on a Saturday evening. We waited for 25 minutes, which wasn't bad compared to how long the line was during its inception. The line was crowded but not too loud. The workers were calm and friendly, letting us sample several flavors before ordering. We ordered a waffle cone with three scoops: stracciatella (chocolate chip), hazelnut, and bueno & brutto. These are all chocolatey and sweet flavors, so I would recommend them together. The gelato tasted sweet and fresh, perfect for a treat on a hot day. Although I had a great gelato experience, I would not want to wait in that line again.

    Wow this is the best gelato I've ever had. I had a fair share in my life time but this takes the cake. I went on a Wednesday night when there's hardly a line. This place gets very busy on the weekends. Loved their hand dipped chocolate cones covered in hazelnuts. Their cones are the best I've ever had and tastes so natural. I learned that Venchi prioritize the natural essence of their chocolates and gelato, steering clear of preservatives, artificial flavorings, and colorings. They have an ongoing effort to gradually reduce sugar content each year, ensuring nothing is excessively sweet. I was most impressed with Venchi's commitment to environmental consciousness, maintaining low emissions for their ingredients. Fun Fact: Their pistachios are cultivated on a volcano in Italy! Favorite gelato flavors: -Strawberry with chocolate (berries in love) -hazelnut without chocolate (I forgot the actual name it was in Italian)

They have a large kiosk inside Valley Fair Mall. I do believe they will be moving in the future into a larger location in the mall and have their own storefront. They had so many boxes of chocolates and chocolate bars nicely organized and displayed. It was hard to decide what to get. The young lady behind the counter helped me make that decision. I wanted to try a few of the chocolates but they did not have samples for the items I was interested in. That didn't stop me from making a purchase. I'm a huge fan of orange and chocolate. My husband loves chocolate and hazelnut, as do I. The sales lady showed me the Prafeuille chocolate orange box and the hazelnut cream chocolate wafers. What I liked about these varieties, was that each chocolate treat was individually wrapped. I decided to buy a box of each of these. Checking out was fast and easy. I really appreciated the help I got from the sales lady I already know what I'm going to buy the next time I come back to shop at Royce. Both my husband and I tried the chocolates. The orange chocolate is a small thin milk chocolate squares filled with an orange sauce. It's absolutely delicious. I loved it. The hazel cream chocolate wafer is hazelnut cream sandwiched between crispy wafers dipped in chocolate. That was also very good. My husband loved it. Overall, we both loved their chocolate. It's very good quality chocolate with some unique flavor combinations. The customer service was great. I only wished they offered samples of all their offerings so you can try before you buy. I'm looking forward to trying their orange chocolate truffles next time.

After I ordered, there were a limited number of seats since people tend to hangout in friend groups and treat it as their 3rd space, so be prepared to fight for a table if you're coming during peak times. I sat down and realized they were a whole 10+ orders behind, meaning I waited at least 25mins before getting my bingsu! I ordered a honeydew yogurt bingsu and it was $20. Inflation may be a little crazy, but this was a little above what I was expecting. It came with about 1/2's worth of honeydew. The bowl was not topped with bingsu, and I felt like there are more melons than bingsu (not ok). There were some sweet cheese pieces inside (yummy), some unsweetened frozen yogurt, and the rest was yogurt flavored bingsu. Although healthy, the bingsu itself was NOT sweet enough and I felt sick after eating so much unsweetened yogurt. I wish they gave us a cup of condensed milk like they do at every other bingsu place... Service was slow and everything is self serve, from getting your bingsu at the front to bussing your tray. I do believe there are other bingsu spots in Bay Area that give a similar experience with more variety and better pricing. I do not look forward to waiting almost 30min after spending $20 for a bingsu that's only half bingsu with honeydew layered on top.

A pricey little box, but for this quality, it's to be expected. I sampled Vietnamese coffee and raspberry yuzu. I much preferred the tartness of the raspberry yuzu. The Vietnamese coffee was more on the dense and darker side which I wasn't really feeling. I ended up getting a custom 6-piece box: raspberry yuzu (x2), rose water saffron (x2), and sesame praline (x2). The raspberry yuzu was extra yummy with the chocolate this time. The bitterness and tartness went well together. The sesame praline was interesting. The filling had a more crispy and gritty texture as a result from what appears to be sugar crystals. The sesame was nicely incorporated so that it wasn't overpowering. I really liked it. The rose water saffron was interesting. It definitely had floral and earthy notes. This is among their most popular flavors, but it just wasn't for me unfortunately. It slightly crossed the floral soap threshold for my taste buds. No matter, I know I will be back for the raspberry yuzu and sesame praline someday, and I hope to try other unique flavors they have as well.
