Gelateria Ca' d'Oro

The uncle and nephew there were an absolute pleasure! They were funny and very kind. I have been traveling Italy for three weeks and this is by far the best gelato I have had. Try the watermelon or lemon flavour!!

Amazing service & the best gelato we’ve had so far. Thank you for making our honeymoon special <3

The gentleman were so lovely and a highlight of our trip to Venice. We had the bubble waffles and they were made fresh, very delicious. Please try the pistachio and lemon gelato!!!

Nice place, friendly staff. Ice cream is just ok, I’ve had much more tasty ice creams many times.

Awesome service as well as ice creams. We hesitated between the cup and the cone and got both ! The flavors are really great, and to me even better than Suso, not to mention the price which is clearly cheaper, and the quantity which was not disappointing at all. I highly recommend to come and try this ice cream shop !

We just bought the smallest gelato, but the clerk served us his special gelato that has “cookie eye”, and “waffle ear” :) The gelato, and the clerk, and everything was very very amazing. If you come to Venice, you should try this gelato.

Owner and son were so nice! Make sure to stop by for a delicious evening treat!!!

Super friendly, delicious Limone and pistachio! Never had gelato with lemon ,(always sorbet) - delicious!

This place was on an eat like a local food tour, and yes this was the second gelato I'd had for the day... According to our guide, he explained that this place was selected not only because it's still family owned...but in addition to organic ingredients...they've still held true to the process of making gelato, smaller batches without an excessive amount of sugar added as a preservative. I honestly can't say I've had any bad gelato since I've been in Italy. I can't say I have a super discerning palate, but if there are unique interesting flavors...that's a winner for me. My go to flavors usually include hazelnut or pistachio. At this place however, I had the ricotta cheese with honey and sesame seeds...highly recommend

There's a gelato stand every few feet in Venice, sort of like Starbucks in the U.S. Almost all of them are walk-up stands with no indoor seating and this one is no exception. This particular place had about 20 flavors to choose from. I chose a double scoop of coffee in a cup and my wife had a scoop of mango on a cone. Mine was smooth and creamy with a bold coffee flavor with espresso beans here and there to add some crunch. It was excellent! The woman working here was very nice and spoke English. This was my first gelato experience in Italy and, while it was better than anything I've had in the States, I later had better at other places in Italy, hence the 4 star rating. But it was one of the best in Venice!

Best gelato we had while in Italy. I strongly recommend the pistachio and amarena cherry flavors.

While Gelatoteca Suso ruled the first half of our trip, Ca'D'oro dominated the second half. I implore you to try their ricotta flavor with sesame and honey. Now let me assure you that I'm not one of those guys that normally goes for that flavor profile for dessert but it looked that it coaxed me out onto a limb where I was content to stay for the remainder of the trip. I had at least three servings in the next two days, mentally rearranging the contents of my stomach to make room for it after multiple big dinners. This will likely be my first gelato stop the next time I'm in Venice and I'd make it yours too.

Really impressed with the variety of flavors here. Then again, I don't know how many gelaterias I've tried and been satisfied with because they're all good! They have four cup sizes, with a small holding only up to one flavor (sadly not like other places where you can get two flavors in a small) and medium with two flavors, etc. They offer all the basic flavors like pistachio, tiramisu, cherry, etc., but I went for the ricotta with honey and sesame. SO good! My friend stuck with their typical hazelnut flavor and enjoyed it. We also tried their gianduiotto dessert which was REALLY yummy and melted so fast (offered hazelnut or amaretto flavors) You have the option of trying it with whipped cream, but we decided not to (as we had a smoothie in the other hand). Definitely would recommend this place, as it is right off the side of the tourist route.

Flavors Tasted - Organic Hazelnut / Stracciatella / Ricotta + Honey + Sesame Located at Str. Nova 4273b, just steps from the Ca D'Oro and its convenient Vaparetto stop, Gelateria Ca D'Oro is one of a handful of shops in Venice known for its Slow-Food ethics with each flavor made by hand daily from nothing but natural, organic ingredients - the prices only slightly higher than some of the most touristy locations near St. Mark's Plaza with flavors that stray a bit further from the standard options plus several styles of Semifreddo and frozen Parfaits as well as Popsicles available each day. Like most Italian Gelato shops in that the space is tight without any seating, a broader look at the building indicating that the standalone space is probably more than 2/3 kitchen behind the scenes, patrons of Gelateria Ca D'Oro are brought face-to-face with 18 flavors of Gelato and Sorbetti housed in a pair of freezer cases, the cost of approximately €1,50/sccop offering no lack of temptation, small tastes of Coffee, Peach and Amarena Cherry all very good without overwhelming sweetness amidst a dense and smooth base. Entering the shop when it was empty only to see it quickly fill as two families arrived in the early afternoon sun, it was based on personal preference along with a plan to standardize a basis for comparison to other places that a cup of three scoops was selected, the Stracciatella and Pistachio both well-balanced with the former dialed up by crunchy Dark Chocolate ribbons while the later trended nearly savory with the flavor of toasted nuts almost indistinguishable from those fresh from their shells prior to salting. Open from 10h30 to 23h30, perhaps the most extensive hours of any "natural" Gelateria on the island, taste three of the selected trio was an outlier not seen at any place elsewhere during the subsequent seven days from Venice to Parma and Milan, the housemade Ricotta di Bufala lent a gentle degree of sweetness from swirls of Honey as finely ground sesame seeds offered the tiniest bit of grit along with their distinctive savory taste.

When it comes to gelato, there are a million choices everywhere you go in Italy. Venice is no exception, There even are ice cream parlors right next to one another. They are all good, it just comes down to flavor preference. I order banana gelato everywhere I go, and so if I don't see i at a particular location, I move on. So far, my favorite banana ice cream can be found here. That is the only pro, the cons are, there is no sitting available at all, and you only get two flavors with the medium size as opposed to three as we've gotten everywhere else. Also the portion is smaller. Price wise is about the same as everywhere else. Service was just a matter of asking size and flavor, this is a small place, but it does have.a big variety.

They only allow one free sample so choose carefully. All the flavors are made in house each day. Definitely delicious and moderately priced.

I think the address is off. Anyway I yelped good Gelato (ice cream) near me and I found this place. The ice cream IS delicious! And once you have your ice, you can go down the street next to the Gelateria - it's a dead end with some steps directly at the Canal Grande!

Va Benne. This is an amazing gelato place that I would frequent every day on my trip here to Venice! They have a lot of flavors and the staff is very helpful!

Gelato after dinner in Venice is a must. After dinner on our third night in Venice, we we're strolling along a main pedestrian street and found this gelato place. Reasonable prices, fast service and delicious flavors. We gravitated towards chocolate, hazelhut, pistachios and other rich flavors. All were great! There are lots of places for a quick sugar fix around here.

The Pear was shockingly good. And the Honey and Sesame made me swoon. When the woman heard my daughter complain that her cone didn't include some of the hard chocolate topping that decorated the ice cream in the tub she took out a little spoon and scooped a little topping just for my kiddo. Thank you! Sweet ice cream happiness all around.

There are lots of gelato shops in the city. This one stands out. They sell only gelato (and an assortment of different tiramisu, from classic to pistachio or other flavors). Truly outstanding flavor and quality. The pistachio tastes like roasted pistachio nuts, mango tastes like ripe fruit; coconut is loaded with shredded coconut, best mint gelato I've ever tasted, rich dark coconut, cappuccino, and just tried their amaro which is sweet cream with sour cherries...beats black cherry ice cream from the States easily. You know their stuff is freshly made; there aren't piles of gelato, instead all small batch. And best of all, prices are a total bargain for this quality. Gelato in the morning, afternoon, and evening!

Best gelato in Italy I will definitely come back again !!!!!!!none of the gelato in Toronto taste as good.

This was the best gelato I had in Venice, Florence and Rome and I ate gelato 8x in total.

Best gelato in Canneregio. The milk chocolate hazelnut was rich, creamy, full of nuts and just plain tasty. Love that it is in our neighborshood. Staff was fast and nice.

We tried the ricotta/sesame and the coconut, both were delicious! Two scoops for a great price, 2,50 euro. Would visit again!

Try the Ricotta - honey - toasted sesame flavor! You won't regret it! This place is the real deal

Seriously, how hard could it possibly be to review a gelateria in Italy? I guess the only 'challenge' would be trying to compare them, although it would be fun to collect a large enough sample size. This small shop offers a nice selection of flavors ranging from traditional dessert (chocolate, pistachio, tiramisu, etc) to a number of fruit varieties. We were immediately drawn to the kiwi - hardly a typical offering. It was heavenly. Lots of the fruit flavor with just the right creaminess to keep the gelato texture (and not turn into a sorbet). We passed by again on our way back to the hotel and were tempted to go back already!

If not the best, then at least in the top two gelatos I've had between Rome, Florence, and Venice -- probably 12 or so in total, all from artiginale places. I got the Bergamot and Kiwi. So insanely creamy. Much preferred this to Suso, which also gets high ratings. Pretty large serving size.

Clean, friendly, and really nicely priced. Modern looking too!

Absolutely rich and tasty gelato. I was a bit suspicious as so many shops were after tourists without offering any good quality food or service. Blown away by the taste.

Eh decent. I got the mango and it didn't really taste like mango. It's a good price though!

delicious gelato. 2.50 euros for 2 scoops. Got the Nutella one (can't go wrong with that) and pistachio! So good

This was my first experience with gelato in Italy, and it really set the standard. Great selection, good prices, and they aren't too skimpy on the portions (your cone will be overflowing with deliciousness).

I will admit it. I do sometimes have location bias. When I see a restaurant in a really touristy location, I will often pass it by because I just assume that it is not good. I have, unfortunately, missed out on some really good places. But! After being burned by Moe's Clam Chowder in Portland, it is hard for me to change my ways. But I made a small step in that direction by eating here. This is located in a pretty busy area, and in my opinion, is pretty touristy. The gelato however tastes very authentic. The flavors were rich and vibrant and the texture soft and pillowy. I will say that I do not think it is as good as San Stae, but it was still REALLY good. The price is right on par with what we were seeing from other places, so you are not really seeing any additional benefit for going here other than you may be in the area for some shopping. I am not sure if it is worth a special trip to eat here, but if you are in the area - it is a good place for delicious gelato.
