If you're craving authentic Italian gelato, look no further. Not only is the gelato delicious, but their service is beyond excellent. A wonderful discovery in the Tucson foothills. - 2/04/2018 

Great little place. Excellent gelato--as good as Frost with no crowds. Comparable to Gelato we've had in zRoma and Firenze.

Tiramisu Gelato was excellent. The owner is one of the friendliest and most accommodating I've encountered. Seating outside only and very covid conscious inside. You will enjoy this gellateria. read less - 4/23/2021

This was the most incredible, mind blowing experience! It took me a whole half hour to eat my gelato because it was bursting with so much flavor that I wanted to savor every morsel! Our visit to Blue Ice was literally the highlight of our Tucson trip! It's totally worth driving all the way from Phoenix just to try this amazing dessert! The manager was super friendly and seemed to know exactly the best flavor palette that we gravitated towards so he made great recommendations! The shop is small and there are a few tables for seating inside with fresh cut flowers. Extremely reasonably priced and some people apparently stop by regularly just to pick up a pint to go. If I lived locally I'd do the same! The process they use to make the gelato is unique and somehow uses less fat and less sugar but has 10x the flavor! At least 15 flavors of fresh gelato, each one better than the next! Something for everyone there! Totally worth a stop there to brighten your week! read less - 9/01/2019 

Best gelato in town, hands down. We've tried them all. Constantly changing flavors, right balance of creaminess and sweetness. Next time you're in the mood for gelato, skip Frost and head to Blue Ice! - 4/01/2022

I've had a lot of different ice creams and gelatos in my time but this place is incredibly fresh and flavorful . The owner is proud of his craft (as he should be) and liberal with samples as he explains the different flavors. This is a 'must stop' for any serious dessert eater. read less - 8/19/2019 

I stop and get a sub and then go next door for gelato. They have delicious gelato. I met the owner once and he was very nice. - 2/19/2022 

High-quality gelato, friendly service. Ours came with a delicious Italian cookie. Chocolate and Flor de Leche were both excellent. - 11/24/2021

Ron the owner was extremely personable, telling us about the Italian method for making Gelato, explaining their pasteurization process, and recommending various flavors. We had been hoping for Pineapple and though they didn't have it that first time, he told us the next scheduled Pineapple date and we went back.

In addition to a number of samples (Mango Basil stands out) I had four different flavors. I might have tried more but once I had a combo of Pineapple & Coconut, there was no going back. So bright and light and flavorful -- delicious. I like Frost but Blue Ice Gelato is even better.

If you are hankering for a particular flavor like we were, check their Facebook page -- they post their flavors daily. read less - 2/10/2022 

In addition to creamy, delicious gelato, the service was top notch. If I wasn't from out of town I would be returning soon. It is weird to see something with perfect reviews on here but believe the hype. - 5/09/2019
