Stumbled across this amazing place in Bologna. It is worth tracking down. Superb ice cream, just a few freshly churned flavours - some quite inventive (like my 'chai' choice) - delicate and exquisite! From the shop you can see into the kitchen and watch the friendly ice-cream maker at work, obviously taking immense pride in his product. I dream about... More

I always make a point to go whenever visiting my hometown. The choice of flavours may not be massive, but the quality is superb.

We came across this lovely place after having had a good and filling lunch. Whatever our stomach said, the eyes and brain had a different idea and we went in. Whatever you have eaten, dont miss this. Excellent icecream, deserts, cakes and drinks. We tried some nocciola and pistacchio flavor, the granita and finally the maracuja on a stick, which... More

We found this gelateria to be a very classic Italian place - crowded and obviously popular with the locals, which is how we found it. Huge crowds outside enjoying their dessert. Good choice of flavors, and helpful staff.

Nothing wrong with the ice cream here, but we didn't think it was outstanding. Some other gelaterias in Bologna are much better, but this one's very handy if you've just come from S. Stefano.

Food and service at Cremeria Santo Stefano are exceptional. I suggest you have lasagne and mozzarella di buffalo with ham. Book ahead to avoid disappointment!!

I stayed in Bologna for two months, and tried my share of gelato, and this place was easily the best. While other places will try to entice you with bright colors (in my opinion that much food dye must be hiding something), for only 2 euro, this gelateria's flavor and quality will do more than color could ever do.
