Benedetto Gelato

Yes finally we have some good gelato in the IE! So good! Strongly recommend trying it out. I had the Belgian chocolate a classic flavor that never disappoints. The employees were working swiftly to get the constant line out the door. I was out of there within minutes.

best ice cream in town! here you will find a little piece of Italy or any European Gelato ice cream! take note parking and area are not to great! but we are happy to support the community get cleaned up! its so nice to see new restaurants and hang out places for the family. Enjoy!

Very tasty Gelato! I had the Sinfonia Di Citrus and Frogla flavors and absolutely loved it! Hubby had Mint,Caramel Cappuccino, and Chocolate Chip , both in the medium size. Definitely go check it out while visiting The Farmhouse Collective!

Not only do they have the most amazing gelato in California but everyone is so friendly and just make you feel welcomed. Def a must try we drove 1hr for the grand opening day and will def be going back for more.

Best gelato ever!!! The sweetest family owns this shop and the customer service is excellent! We trued strawberry, pistachio, and lemon pie and they were all amazing! The whole area is so fun too!

The ice cream was good but i HATED the waffle cone. I can't tell if its stale or made with less sugar, but it just tasted flavorless and didnt absorb the ice cream flavor well.

Excellent gelato offerings. The service is always fast and friendly. If you’re not sure what to pick, ask them for a sample. They also make in house waffle cones and cookies. The gelato cups come in three sizes and it’s impressive how much they can fit in each cup. I usually go with the smallest size with two flavors.

I visited this place with no expectations, ready to try their "Gelato." Typically, most "Gelatos" in California fall short of the real deal. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was authentic Italian Gelato. The moment I tasted it, I knew it was the real thing. The texture and sweetness were spot on, reflecting the perfect balance of fat, air, and milk. I'm thrilled that Riverside, California finally has genuine Italian Gelato. Thank you!

We stopped by Benedetto Gelato while visiting a small market in Riverside. We're not from the area, so it was a fun little stop to explore and try some local treats. Since it was a hot day, gelato sounded perfect. My son got the strawberry, I had the raspberry and cream, and my husband picked a mixed flavor. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious--creamy, flavorful, and refreshing. The portions were generous, especially for around $6 a scoop, and they came in large waffle cones which made it feel like a treat worth every penny. Customer service was great too--friendly and helpful. If we're ever back in Riverside, we'll definitely make a point to come back for more!

Gelato Worthy of a Passport Stamp We visited Benedetto Gelato this past weekend and it absolutely delivered. I had the Limonata and the Benedetto, and both were incredibly refreshing, tangy, and full of real fruit flavor. It was like summer in a cup. My daughter went with cookies & cream and strawberry, which were equally delicious. Everything tasted authentic and perfectly balanced. The shop itself is beautiful and spotless, with a fresh, modern vibe. You can tell every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the branding to the display case. But what really made the experience special was the staff. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. They offered samples, answered our questions, and made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back, and next time, we're bringing friends. If you're in the area, Benedetto Gelato is a must.

First thing was the delightful greeting as we walked through the door. They have a good variety of gelato and sorbet, as well as a Belgium chocolate and Dubai chocolate chip cookies. I tried the pistachio, which is always one of my faves and it was delicious. I also tried the mascarpone frutti de boscoe, which tasted like a berry cheesecake, but lighter, also delicious! The shop was clean and smelled like the waffle cones that were being made. I would for sure come back here for a treat!

Omg so good! Family visiting and wanting some ice cream. This is a great spot when you have visitors in town. Nice outdoor space to enjoy the day. Outdoor games and plenty of options. Service was welcoming and friendly, attentive and helpful. Sampled a few before making the final answer. Dubai chocolate of course and the hazelnut complimented each other perfectly. The cups are plenty in each serving. Clean and organized. Will definitely be back to try more of their flavors.

Expensive, yes. Yummy, ABSOLUTELY. These days a single scoop is about $6 at your average shop, so the price here is well worth it. My favorite flavor was the Mascarpone with berries. Not too sweet, but the berries tasted so fresh. Also got the Hazelnut Crispy. Both flavors 10/10. Service was also fantastic despite only having one worker! We'll be back.

Amazing service! Great Gelato! Definitely coming back again. Thank you Benedetto Gelato!

It was a bit on the pricer side but what do you expect for gelato. The favor options were great and had a lot of unique flavors like dubai chocolate. I got a cookies & crème along with a raspberry flavor. I absolutely loved my flavors and will definitely be coming in again soon.

The interior was very clean, cool, and refreshing like their gelato. The worker was kind and let us try several samples before we settled on pistachio and mascarpone. Usually pistachio flavors are underwhelming due to its artificial flavor but theirs was nutty and creamy. The pricing is a bit high but worth it as a once in a while treat. Definitely will be back!

Saw some fancy type online about this place and decided to try it out last min. What I saw on instagram looked amazing well guess what? I didn't see shit because everything was out that I wanted. Wtf?!? Did fucken Jesus make the gelato to be that good and pricy?!? Nah it is not! Tf is 10 bucks for one gelato mofos are fucken trippin mane? Some of these flavors also are absolutely DIABLOCIAL!!! Also, I show up and no one is there?!? They are on break what?!! Hire another person BENEDETTO I'm sure you can afford it you are charging 10 dollars for a gelato?!! My ass was freezing while mofo took his 15 min break on the shitter! Camon man! This capitalist America fuck breaks I need my overpriced gelato?!! What is this. Place is nice tho give it that. Anyways, 5.2/10

I was here for the Lee Fields concert happening at the outdoor stage just outside of the Gelato shop and could SMELL the waffle cones being made here. I left during the encore because Yelp showed this place was closing in 12 minutes and they actually stayed open even after the concert ended. Got to sample a few flavors and went with a scoop of biscoff and a scoop of coffee gelato. These were normal sized scoops and I asked for them to be in a waffle cone. My first mistake was asking for 2 scoops because the gelato is RICH! I could've gone with one flavor or asked if they did split scoops. Most gelato places give you a small scop with a small flat wooden spoon, but Bendetto gives you a proper scoop. I would come back to the Farm to see more shows because I can get Benedetto Gelato immediately after the concert ends AND the smell of waffle cones in the air at a concert is so nice!

After the owners reply I decided to give it another go and gelato is great. My 1-star was to get the owner attention and it did.

AMAZING!! Best Gelato hands down!!! Honestly this place just made me a gelato fan. I got the pistachio and vanilla my husband got strawberry, mango and vanilla. Nice friendly staff. Clean. A little pricey but worth a try. I really hope this place stays successful.

Delicious gelato!! The gelatos taste so quality with real, rich ingredients. My cousin and i were really excited to try out the gelato. We waited some time because the couple in front sampled nearly all of them. When it was our turn, we were told no more than 3 samples per person, that's fair but why didn't that apply to the middle aged white people too? My cousin commented on how much smaller her samples were getting as our server was getting frustrated (a big line came in 15 min before closing). And we got a snarky response back. This was the fastest downhill eatery experience that I've had -- in under 5 minutes! I am not taking it personally, maybe she had a rough day and asking to sample before spending $11 on ice cream was just beyond her bandwidth at that moment. To the owner, please make sure your employees have ample help, she seemed overwhelmed. Maybe she needs a raise for all the work she's doing, seemingly alone. Whatever it is, she obviously needs more compensation or support to be bothered to serve gelato.

Great spot- this place is a fun family night or a date night! Super friendly!! The Gelato flavors were delicious with a perfect texture! Tons of seating. Can't wait to come back & try more flavors!

The service was quick, the esthetic was bright, clean and pretty. Parking is not convenient if coming on the weekend at night but it is a short stroll to the Farmhouse Collective where Benedetto is located. We were able to chat with the staff and taste a few flavors before deciding on tiramisu and marscapone with berries in one cup and then mascarpone with berries and Belgium chocolate. Not so yummy! Riverside needed a really good gelato place and this checks all the boxes. Next time I want to try the Dubai chocolate floor. We were able to eat our gelato and listen to some great music outside on their barn stage. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures but go give it a try for sure. You won't be disappointed.

Yes finally we have some good gelato in the IE! So good! Strongly recommend trying it out. I had the Belgian chocolate a classic flavor that never disappoints. The employees were working swiftly to get the constant line out the door. I was out of there within minutes.

Best Gelato in Riverside. Great taste, tried it 2 times with my family. Little pricey but the quality is valuable. Well done

Phenomenal gelato. Absolutely delicious and great flavors. I love that you can do 2 flavors in a small cup. I had the pistachio & cookies n cream. The hubs had the Dubai chocolate and a caramel one. I think it's pretty expensive but it is really fantastic so you get what you pay for.

The location is super cute and staff are friendly. There's a great variety of flavors. The fact that real Italian gelato is my comparison doesn't seem to make the review fair. The flavors are ok. The prices are a bit though.

Very cute spot, interesting flavors & nice employees. Not sure if I chose poorly, but the flavors I chose were too sweet and boring. More importantly, it melted way too fast, not sure if they are keeping gelato at appropriate temperature. And finally, I think the price point is ridiculously high. Not sure it's worth a 2nd visit.

Really great gelato. Reminded us of our time in Italy. Better than the places in neighboring cities. Will be back.

Most delicious gelato in the IE (and possibly SoCal)! I highly recommend the Dubai chocolate and one of their newer flavors that has white chocolate, honey, and lemon. I don't recall the name but it was so good! The staff there are always welcoming and patient as I ask for samples. The inside is super clean and there is seating outside where you can eat your gelato while you enjoy the view. A great evening treat!

We were visiting Riverside and came upon the Farmhouse Collective. It was super hot and what better way to cool down than to have gelato? Benedetto is absolutely fabulous. The flavors are unique and amazing. We have had gelato in many parts of the world and Benedetto is on the top of my list! Must try!

Best ice cream in town! Found this gem while visiting the Farmhouse Collective. The flavors are amazing and you can really tell that the ice cream is made with high quality, natural ingredients. Andres was very helpful and so friendly! Great ambiance. This is a definitely must try spot!

Excellent gelato!! Service was warm and inviting. Excellent location and plenty of outdoor seating.

The gelato was very good I really enjoyed it the shop is very clean good service very good customer service definitely will be back

Nice to see the Inland Empire get a great gelato place! The flavors I chose actually taste like real fruit -- not fake or overly sweet. Mango passione, strawberry, and berry naturale were my end picks! Might I add I did have the option to try as many flavors as I wanted! The service was speedy and friendly. I really loved the cool, clean and modern look inside! I would definitely go back again for a sweet treat fix!

INCREDIBLE gelato!!!! Excellent, friendly service. Staff are kind, welcoming, patient and friendly--and generous in their servings! I've seen folks commenting that it's expensive and I'm honestly surprised by that critique. That small size will fill you up! They will even fit three flavors in that cup and it will be overfull. Quality is outstanding too. I love this place so much. Thank you.

Benedetto is THE gem in this fun little collective of stores and restaurants. You cannot go wrong with any of their flavors but the Mascarpone and Frutti de Bosco is absolutely amazing. I also had the Dulce de Leche with chunks of dark chocolate. Everything is clean, presented beautifully, and the staff is friendly. Can't wait to get to Benedetto again soon!

Gelato was wonderful. Flavors were on point. BUT for the price the portion is too small. Disappointed in portions.

The young lady working the front counter was incredibly friendly and offered suggestions - noted that she offered the rewards program to everyone that she served. We stopped in on a hot, Saturday afternoon, and there was quite a line when we arrived but she handled it amazingly and still managed to make personalized suggestions to everyone. I don't eat dairy- so it was very nice to have so many vegan sorbet options. The only downside to our experience is that we got two scoops in a waffle cone and couldn't eat them fast enough before they started to melt and it dripped onto my husbands shirt from the bottoms of the cone. Perhaps a little chocolate plug at the bottom would help to alleviate this - just a thought. Or a wrap of some kind. We were offered extra napkins but they are small, so just ask for more of you eat slowly like us. Overall a great experience and the flavors were amazing! We will definitely be back.
