    3 star rating I think they have troubles. I heard their Chef has moved on and then they had to reduce hours because of staffing. Im not sure what their hours are these days. I hope you make it through your transition, we loved your sorbets. - 3/27/2022

    5 star rating Delicious! This is our new favorite gelato place. The chocolate banana (made with fresh bananas) was amazing. What a delightful addition to the Basha's plaza. - 9/27/2017

    3 star rating The facility is neat and clean, and there are places to sit outside, which in the late afternoon is shaded by the building. Espresso is offered (but I have not tried it). Selection of gelato flavors is limited relative to other gelato shops. Like most gelato shops, the server will happily give you a sample of whatever is in the case. To my surprise, most of the flavors I tried were not to my liking. Actual gelato seems to have more milk fat than other brands I've tried, which others may prefer.
    Part of the appeal of gelato is the reduced amount of fat (and subsequently, calories). So okay overall, but not my favorite. - 8/07/2018

    5 star rating The gelato is really good! I wish the scoops were bigger! And I wish this place was close to where we live! I would give them more business and probably get fat doing it!
    Blue Ice is a chain of gelato shops in Italy but I don't know if there is a connection.
    Gelato is healthier than ice cream and tastes richer. It is based on milk, while ice cream is based on cream.
    You should definitely give it a try! - 4/28/2021

    We make it a priority to stop by this place during our annual trip to Tucson because it is always so delicious and never fails to surprise us with unique and delicious flavors! The owner is so kind and encourages you to sample. The gelato always tastes fresh and creamy and will satisfy all ages!

    Good quality, reasonable prices, friendly service and diverse flavors (though I went with the traditional chocolate/vanilla). It can definitely compete with the more renown Frost. I am disappointed that the ratio between flavors wasn’t even, so I encourage the workers to try to be more careful in this regard

    Not from Tucson- Best Gelato I've had, was in with my husband. Christopher was very helpful,and friendly,knew about the ingredients, provided samples of all the ones we wanted to try. Hard to make a choice since all were yummy. I was able to get a medium size with three flavors of the ones that I liked the most. I had lemon lime, coconut, and butterscotch caramel amazingly yummy! Will be back next year when we are in Tucson again.

    Delicious Gelato, have not tasted anywhere better other than in Italy itself. Prepared with delicacy, like frozen art! Friendly service, sharing samples of different gelatos, and there are many to choose from. Pistachio my favorite!

    Discovered this Tucson jewel during our Thanks Giving trip. We had to go back twice before we left Tucson. Friendly and super polite staff, great tasty ice cream with a delicious variety of awesome flavors. Price is very affordable, facility is inviting and very clean always. Can't wait to go back to Tucson!

    The price is right and the variety is countless. Thanks for the fast and great service. There is no need to pay expensive for flavorless icecream if you have this around your hotel. Highly recommend it. Btw, beautiful plaza to hang with family and friends.
