We were walking walking around in downtown Livermore and found Verace on Yelp. Located on S K Street at 1st Street, it's right in the middle of downtown. When you walk in the first thing you'll notice is how open, bright, and clean this cafe is along with a friendly "ciao, welcome" from the owner. There were so many delicious gelato flavors to choose from but I ultimately went with the Amarena cherry flavor. It was so good and had the same sticky consistency of gelato I had in Italy. Turns out the owner is from Napoli, Italia! Many of the ingredients are from Italy. Their biscotti and lemon flavored were also great. I'll get those next time. In addition to coffee and espressos, they also offer Italian wines and beer. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Such a cute lovely little gelato spot, clean and welcoming. The double scoop in a cup was great, tried a super chocolate flavor (give me all the chocolate!!) and the "Versace" mix of pistachio and berry. Service was kind and quick Love that they put little cones on top of your cup so you can make BABY cones! read more

The ambiance is nice and clean. Outdoor heated seating area is nice to do some people watching on the side street. We've been here a few times and have tried the coffee, and tiramisu ice cream as well, but so far our favorite flavors were the mango (tastes like they just ground up mango and froze it - impressive) and the pumpkin spice (more creamy) and the waffle bowl was so good as well! Careful, they can get crowded at times, but is well worth the wait! read more

Cute and bright decor drew us here. Their many flavors were a definite plus. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for cooler or hot days. Staff were friendly and quickly took orders. Their pumpkin spice was good but a tad too sweet. My single scoop was well presented and the small cone was a nice touch. read more

Verace is a lovely place downtown, bright and welcoming. The Wife and I stopped by, and I was impressed with everything else you could get here besides gelato. We both had a combination of two gelatos. Mine was an almond based, and a hazelnut based combination. We both got the medium size, and regretted it, because it was generous and more than we needed. The service consisted of a polite young man, who was unable to pour any wine because he was underage. We didn't really want any, I just found it interesting that they offer it. The shelves have a number of different bottles for takeout, and the refrigerated case has a nice variety of Italian water and sodas and such. read more

YUM! Stopped in after dinner to check out Verace and it did not disappoint! I had a scoop of the vanilla caramel (SO good) and a scoop of the gianduia (I may be butchering that spelling). They were a delicious yin & yang combo that I certainly plan to be back for. The gelato had a thick but creamy consistency and was the perfect end to an evening out. read more

Great local spot for gelato and coffee! They have good coffee, smooth tasting and bold. The latte I had in the shop was presented nicely and perfect for sipping. Strong, delicious. The nocciolatte is also excellent, a sweet hazelnut-y drink. So flavorful and exciting. The gelato flavors are rich and creamy. Of the ones I've had so far, amarene (milk and black cherries) is my favorite. It is so good. Soft milk flavor with delicious bursts of cherry. The dark chocolate is nice and very deeply chocolate-y. I found almond to be a bit gritty. Delicate in flavor. read more

Italian bistro chairs, white interiors, azure sky and turquoise waters pictures on the wall from Capri and you wonder if you have stepped into Italy while walking Livermore downtown. The coffee and gelato aromas fill the air. I can give you a full argument that gelato has a fragrance, contest me if you want to. We got our gelatos (generous amount of scoops) and settled in at a table. Their signature flavor "Verace" was one of our favorites as well as the orange almond and the always good Straciatella. This is one of the best gelato we have had outside of Italy. You can tell by the color and taste of their pistachio flavor. They'll let you taste the flavors, so don't fret if you are confused with the variety. Also, if you like coffee, get their Affogato, it is super awesome. read more

After a hike in bee-auty-ful Morgan Territory, looking for ice cream to cool down and replenish. But when gelato is on offer, why would you settle for ice cream? And Verace was an upgrade by log units (See? We can use algebra in real life!). This is the real deal with unique (but not concerning) flavors to tantalize, and an incredibly smooth, creamy texture to keep your little eating spatula coming back for more. I was happy to see they can put 2 flavors in a little cup made of the same stuff as a traditional cake cone, dipped in chocolate! I thought I could substitute it for a paper cup, but they then put it inside a paper cup, so nothing gained there. My husband got the medio, and it was bigger than my edible cup, but mine was piled pretty high, so it didn't seem like less. Anyhoo, I got half Carmello (hazelnut with a caramel ribbon) and the Verace with pistachios and cherries and my husband got the very intense chocolate split with the vanilla. We raved about it all the way home. I talked about planning to find an excuse to attend a show or something back in Livermore just as an excuse to go back! Free Street parking was easy at 3 PM on a Sunday afternoon after the farmer's market cleared out. Verace has plenty of seating inside and out and service was quick and courteous. You should definitely go here!! read more

Walking around downtown Livermore and stumbled upon this gem. Plenty of street parking or you can park in the garage for free if you feel like exploring downtown. They offer free tastings. Service was good and quick. Inside is nice, clean, and spacious. Plenty of flavors but my favorite was the Ferrero Rocher (hazelnut chocolate) gelato! So creamy and delicious! They have indoor and outside seating. We really enjoyed coming here and would like to try other flavors! read more

My boyfriend and I found on this place on Yelp after I had wanted a craving for mulled wine & ice cream in December. The store front was so cute inside and there was a video on the screen touring through the streets of Italy so we thought we would get some gelato just to try it out and then head out. The owner was super nice and let us try a few samples so I ended up getting coffee while my boyfriend got chocolate hazelnut. I've never had proper gelato before and this place completely blew my expectations away with the creaminess and consistency that made me forget about ice cream altogether. It was not too sweet either which I hate so perfect for when I want to bring my older parents here in the future. It was so amazing and honestly, one of the best desserts I've had. I wasn't able to get my mulled wine but I did find an incredible authentic Italian gelato shop that I'll happily go back to again! read more

I stopped into Verace during my Livermore/Pleasanton ice cream crawl and ended up choosing their Pistachio and Kadayif flavor. The service was friendly and kind and the Kadayif was similar to phyllo clumps which gave a nice crunch to the Pistachio gelato which was sized perfectly. All in all, their seating was adorable very comfortable and clean, so I would come back to Verace in a heartbeat! read more

Verace in Livermore is a charming little gem! I had the pistachio ice cream, and it instantly transported me back to Italy--rich, nutty, and incredibly creamy. The shop has a warm, open vibe and friendly service that makes you want to linger. I can already tell this place will be a hit once the East Bay heat rolls in. Whether you're chasing memories of Europe or just need a sweet escape, Verace is well worth the stop. read more

It's so bright and charming inside! You didn't come here looking for a tuna story, but I had just told my cousins how I asked for canned tuna belly for Christmas one year. Then we just stumbled across this place while exploring downtown, and they had one can of tuna belly that I was just raving about lol! Ate that with pasta, fresh parsley, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, yumm. (Back at home, not there). The gelato - divine! I had the coffee and a bite of my cousin's Ferrero Rocher. So creamy, satisfying, not too sweet, and 100% natural. Cristian, the owner, has a lovely accent and should narrate audiobooks, and the cashier was also friendly. Will return for more gelato and maybe more of the goodies they sell in front. read more

Omg! Delicious Gelato! Found this little gem on Yelp and am I glad I did! I had milk chocolate Gelato, and I compare the taste to the difference between eating a See's chocolate truffle instead of a regular milk chocolate piece. It was rich, creamy, and bursting with smooth milk chocolate flavor. Even the medium size was too much though. We swore next time we're in the area we'd get the mini sizes. Love and highly recommend. read more

I have been in this place a few times. Today I went for a desert, a very nice lady was just baking the special dessert and asked me to come back in 40 min for the sweet however I decided to buy a cookie while waiting for the other sweet. She kindly offered me the cookie on the house. I tried both sweets. Very yum and delicious. I also highly recommend to try their unique expresso gelato very unique and delicious In general it's a very lovely place. read more

New Gelateria in Livermore downtown - authentic taste of Italy! We got a message on Nextdoor (from the owner) about them having opened this week and drove over from Pleasanton, as we adore gelato and have always struggled with finding the authentic version in America. I crave the hazelnut gelatos that I have tasted all over Italy on family visits - in Rome, Venice, Florence, Siena, Perugia... but nothing here ever came close. There was a long line when we got there around 7:30, but it moved quickly. After a couple of tastings, we selected our gelatos: - Piccolo hazelnut for me. This was authentic and it took me back to some of my favorite gelato experiences in Italy. - Medio salted peanut and ferrero rocher for my better half. The salted peanut was delicious. And probably underrated according to her, as she noticed it was mostly "unscooped" as customers were not really going for it. - Medio almond orange and hazelnut for our teen. She was raving about the almond orange on our drive home: "it had orange peel in it!" - Grande stracciatella, lemon and Ferrero Rocher for our tween. She loved the lemon the most because it had "perfect balance" and told us the Ferrero Rocher tasted just like the chocolate! Service was efficient and friendly (the server told me she was from Napoli), just like in the old country. Bill was a bit over $30 (piccolo is $5.25, medio $7.25 and grande $9.25). Décor and seating was adequate (they also have outdoor seating) and there was plenty of parking on South K street outside. We can't wait to be back! read more

Verace never misses -- I haven't had a single bad flavor here. They're always introducing new and creative options, and every one tastes incredibly fresh and balanced. Their gelato is made in-house using all-natural ingredients, most of which are imported straight from Italy. The vibe is great, the staff is amazing, and the owner, Raquel, is one of the friendliest people you'll meet. It's clear she and her team truly love what they do -- and that passion comes through in every scoop. Whether you're a local or just passing through Livermore, this place is a must. read more

So excited to have a gelato spot in downtown Livermore! I was amped in the days when Verace opened, and finally got to try it out. The shop has a fresh new feel to it and definitely a welcomed vibe in downtown. The staff is great and let us try out a few flavors. We enjoyed a scoop of dark chocolate and chocolate chip each and both were tasty! They offer about 10-12 different flavors for scoops, and also have hand packed pints to take home. Nice cold gelato during a heat wave is a must! Overall had a good experience and looking forward to trying out more flavors read more

The pistachio gelato was a nice treat. The person working let me try a small sample to help me decide on my flavor.

Really enjoyed this place. Super cute inside. Owners are incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the ingredients in their gelato. I tried the lemon which is made from Lemons they ship from the amalfi coast. It was so delicious. I got the Ferrero rocher and hazelnut flavors which were very good. Nice and creamy. Went back a second time and had the cookie flavor which was also very good. Highly recommend! read more
