This ice cream shop sells fabulous ice cream - the staff are very helpful and friendly. We recommend the caramellised fig, grape and ricotta ice cream in particular! It seemed to be open whenever we went past! There are benches outside under the colonnade for you to sit on while enjoying your ice cream - or you can make it... More

I tried ice cream - pistachio and straciatella. Both were very good, but i prefer straciatella with giant pieces of chocolate! Mmm.. it was delicious! :)

Just go there. All the flavours and textures are marvelous, The benches outside in the shaded colonade enhance the langour and indulgence. There is no ability to review Rosticceria Castiglione (Gastronomia Castiglione) on the corner of Castiglione, Orfeo and Via Rialto ... but hey ... the rotisserie roast poulet is succulent, well-spiced ... mouthwatering. Go there.

Great gelato, deserving of its reputation, but very heavy, very sweet. Not necessarily my favorite, but a solid choice.

Very clean store and helpful staff. Ice cream is perfect. You do not know what flavor to choose. Very near the center.

We all know, that the best ice cream in the world can only be found in Italy. As Bologna is the "Mecca" for fine food in Italy, it is not surprising, that the best ice cream in the country ( or world for that matter ) is also to be found in this wonderful city. It has a mainly local... More

Everything here is very authentic. You get all walks of life coming in here queing for their favourate ice creams and most of them are Italians. There are loads to choose from. Very clean place with a seating area whilst you wait. A very Italian experience.

It is a fair walk from the centre of town, but the ice cream here is worth it. The shop is easy to spot because of the number of happy customers milling around outside. Although there are no English translations, the staff can provide guidance as to the many sorts of ice cream hidden away in metal containers. Everyone has... More
