Gelateria il Doge

9 Best Gelato Shops in Venice | Condé Nast Traveler

"Gelateria il Doge might be a little out of the way—across the Grand Canal from Piazza San Marco in the lovely neighborhood of Campo San Toma—but that’s all part of the charm. There are more than 15 flavors of creamy, homemade gelato at this award-winning shop, including eight versions of chocolate, like the signature Crema di Doge (candied orange and chocolate), spicy chocolate (with pepper), and dark-pink Himalayan salt and cocoa. Sicilian dessert fans will also appreciate the traditional Sicilian granita (in five flavors) and the cassata Siciliana gelato, inspired by the classic fruit cake." - Jenna Scatena
