I was really craving some gelato in Santiago, and we tracked this place down on Yelp. I'm glad I…read moredid. The inside features a huge display case with at least 25 or so different gelato flavors. As is usually the case with my trips to ice cream shops, I probably tried 10 flavors before finally deciding on my order. After paying at the register, I got a scoop each of tres leche, mousse, and hazelnut. They were fantastic! Rich, velvety, smooth, particularly the tres leches one. The chocolate notes were intense, the hazelnut flavor not overpowering. And the chica working the counter booked me UP. My scoops were MASSIVE. For about $3,000 pesos, I got a ridiculous amount of superb gelato. It seemed to serve lunch and dinner as well. A pretty inviting and friendly atmosphere overall. The gelato is all I'd truly need, though. If I were to stay in Santiago for long, it'd definitely be a regular spot!

This Bravissimo always brings back memories of when I first came to Santiago. This si where,…read moretogether with my study abroad group, we would meet to get ice cream and lunch. At the time, I remember thinking that this ice cream place was huge and futuristic, with the bright colors, colored plastic seating areas and the Jetson-like uniforms the servers use. Although it doesn't seem that big to me anymore, their bright colors and style still seems somewhat futuristic, meets the 90's. There are many Bravissimo's throughout the Chile (41 to be exact), but this one is my favorite (apart from the awesome memories) as it has 2 stories with a large patio for their patrons to enjoy their large ice creams and slices of cakes as well as their savory dishes such as sandwiches, salads, hamburgers and wraps. Bravissimo, is not just ice cream (although I mistakenly categorize it as such all the time). It is a perfect place to come after a long day of work to enjoy "once" with your family or during lunch time with colleagues, as they have some awesome daily specials and that are economic and good. I recommend trying their Caprice sandwich, made with tomato, arugula, ham and mantecoso cheese with a "Tuscany salsa" (which is mostly olives and mayo) on rustic italian bread. I always ask to get avocado instead of ham and it is never a problem. Very delicious and perfect to accompany one of their coffees or teas. The service is good however, the line to get ice cream is always pretty long. Don't forget to pay first and then get in line to order. They have a ton of different flavors, so ask to taste them (the guys behind the ice cream display are happy to give you as many tastings as you want). Also, although I am an ice cream fanatic, I always have to remind myself that here (despite each scoop being very economic and therefor, more enticing to buy more), their ice cream is very thick and similar to a gelato, with intense and some super sweet flavors, so 1 scoop is always enough.

Nearly 25 years after my first taste of Bravissimo it is just as good as I remembered!. Great…read moreflavors that include banana split, mint chocolate chip etc exploding with the smell and flavor of the ingredients.

My absolute favorite is the chirimoya naranja and my husband raved over the chocolate avellano (it's like Nutella ice cream.) You only get to try 2 flavors before ordering which is a let down because there are so many mixes and interesting flavors that I don't think it's enough.

If you want your ice cream to go, you pay first and then they will give you a ticket; go to the counter and ask for what you paid for. There's a wide variety for dairy to water treats. I usually just go for 2 flavours. Came here twice while I was in the area. Service is straightforward and direct. The quality of the products are very nice. Not overly sweet, I'd come in here for seconds but all within ones measurements. Good for couples, kids, group of friends and family.

Service: No complaints, but due to the number of people there will always be a wait. They are happy to offer a tasting of any flavors. Food: These are artisanal ice creams made in limited batches and the flavors vary day to day, so you can never be sure the one you want will be there. But if it is, you are going to love it. Price: Above average for this city but I haven't found better quality, so you get what you pay for. Definitely a nice place to stop for a once in a while after-dinner treat.
