What a lovely place. We were in Berkeley for a casual lunch on Shattuck Ave and walked by this place. It looked so cute and cozy that we had to go in. Plus it said Italian gelato, are you kidding me? You can't simple walk by, pass it and not stop.
Very casual and warm atmosphere inside, love the way it's done up. Few seats at a large community table and few tables outside as well.
Organic milk and great vegan options too. Few great gelato options, sorbets and coffee with great quality here!
I love me some pistachio gelato that is not easy to find but this place nailed it. I opted for the cone which was freshly made, crunchy and delicious. Hubby loved his afogato and we had a great time speaking in Italian to the owners.
Well located on a busy street like Shattuck and so close to the BART, makes this place ideal spot for that gelato on a hot day! They also have few table games for entertainment :)
Gender neutral bathrooms and super clean, happy me :)

Excellent ice cream, one of the best I've ever tried. As an extra, they do not use sugar, which makes the final product healthier, lighter, and guilty free. One scoop has less calories than an apple! Tastes also better as you can fully appreciate the hazelnut/chocolate/orange etc (depending on the flavour). They also serve piadina:) . Friendly atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend.

Great Gelato spot in Berkeley, with a few innovative flavors amongst the normal Gelato fare, they are always testing new ideas and flavors. A step above the ordinary, this is the place to get your Cold Sugar fix on.

Best ice cream place in town. Has the real Italian gelato structure and the cones are home made. I’ve come back multiple times and it’s always amazing, try it out!

Speechless with how good this place is even tho I’ve driven by here so many times! So glad I stopped by to try their affogato! This place is legit according to my boyfriend who’s been to Italy! Worth the stop if you’re craving something sweet!

Random walk-in on a Monday night. This place was quite busy with regular patrons for a reason!
Their pricing is super reasonable for the quality they put out. The owner told us they make their gelato in-house and you can definitely taste it! We ordered the fiordilatte, stracciatella, and passion fruit gelato and all were not overly sweet and the flavors were sophisticated. This is a great spot to try unique gelato.

The ingredients are good quality and the gelato tater natural without artificial nor too-sugary taste
P.S. their waffle cone is a cup which is cute! 🧇

Really enjoyed the stratiatella. The chips are very wispy and crispy. Immense milk flavor without being too fatty. Looking forward to try new flavors

The apricot flavor was really fresh, and the pistachio had a great nuttiness flavor to it. Some of the best gelato I've had outside of Italy

Best gelato in town. Comparable to gelato in Rome. Brought Argentine friends and they loved it. Super sweet service. Can be long lines but is worth the wait.

To me this place has the best ice cream in the Bay Area. Not overly sweet, right amount of flavors and thickness.

Gluten free and lactose free and vegan flavors clearly labeled! Also, they have some traditional Piedmont hazelnut flavors that are amazing. Because they use fresh ingredients some flavors will change, just get there and see what they have! Last time we went they had Marzapane, sicilian almond and it was a blast, I also appreciated the fact that is true Italian ice cream, which is not too sweet.
