Zanoni & Zanoni

We had our B'n B room in the same street than this ice cream shop, which allowed us to go when it was less crowded. Pros: Pretty good (but not exceptional) ice cream Many flavors Surprisingly cheaper than other ice cream shops we visited, despite its reputation, ideal location, and popularity. The attendants were funny, yes funny, speaking several foreign languages and telling their jokes Cons: Often crowded, and even very crowded, on the terrace Lines are often long (probably due to the popularity, and one can say the hype). In summary: Recommended for the taste, the price and ... the attendants.

I had a coffee and a slice of the Sacher Tart as it is a famous treat in Vienna. Nice cafe and fast service. Price was around d €9 for the coffee and tart. The seating area was fairly busy, but plenty of free tables to chose from. I got there about 9:30 am so probably gets quite busy later in the day!

Loved the experience at this place! The vibes and ambiance were vibrant, and the ice cream tasted great. The fruits were incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Although it was extremely crowded, the service was fast and very friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Plenty of ice cream flavours to choose from. Not sure what the hype is about as it tasted pretty mediocre. Not much to shout about. Service was ok. Very crowded, expect to queue but the queue moved quite quickly. Won’t return.

Recommend ice cream bar in the city center. We visited Zanoni after a sunny Saturday walk, which translated into the place being massively crowded. However, we need no more than 5 minutes to find a free spot on the terrace. We were tempted to order a predefined ice cream cup, but in the end decided to design our own. There are plenty of flavours, toppings and syrups to add. In the picture, hazelnut, nocciola, whipped cream and pistachio syrup (with some Nutella syrup from my friend). First of all, the portions are really generous: you can easily order just two ice cream scoops and still share it. The quantity and quality of the syrups is positively surprising. The ice cream itself is slightly above average, and topped with the rest, pairs great. All in all, well beyond expected and a really enjoyable treat. The service was attentive and patient at all times, even with the exaggerated quantity of customers.

We walked past Zanoni & were hugely attracted to its ice cream at the counter. We brought a cone of vanilla and chocolate & a cone of strawberry. To cut a long story short, the ice creams were milky & delicious and they were cheap as well. 100% recommended during the hot weather.

I went in December and loved it. Great that it opens late and they had the most incredible chocolate crêpe and Coco Loco smoothie! I wish I had the time to go back again during my travels but if you ever pass by, it's worth the visit for a sweet treat and nice drink.

The place seems to be very crowded but still the prices are better than other places and the quality for pastry is better . The gelato ice cream is sweeter but good to try

Went here for the hot chocolate. So good I had to order ice cream as well. The whipped cream was super thick and the hot chocolate was very thick as well. They give you a spoon to clean out your mug. The hazelnut ice cream was very good too. The waiter, Dennis, kept us well hydrated

The best gelato Vienna has to offer. The staff here has been the same for many many years and know their craft well. The treat you like family & w a smile. Portions are generous and inexpensive. Over 30 flavors of gelato and 30+ other high quality desserts. A must when in vien :))

They gave me eggs in a fkn glass at breakfast.... Can you believe that? Eggz?... in a GLASS?? 9/10

One of my favorite places near all the attractions in Venice , great selection of food and desserts and everything was so reasonably priced. I tried so many desserts here and some of their coffee and all was pretty good. Big portions and so flavorful and authentic and reasonably priced , not much else I could've asked for !

Yummy ice cream. Great selection of ice creams. Nice outdoor seating and great people watching spot.

Great ice-cream!! We got a four scoops cup that the two of us devoured in few minutes and went back for another two scoops!! Our favorite flavors were pistachio (with actual pistachio pieces), and Nougat (what I would describe as Nutella flavor with whole hazelnuts).

Stopped by to use the restrooms. They were free. Remember in Europe you could pay to use the restroom unless you go into a bar or restaurant. Then we sat in the outdoor cafe area and ordered a cappuccino, a wiener kaffee which was an American coffee with cream, a torte and a apfelstrudel or apple strudel. The strudel was warm and delicious as was the torte. The price was reasonable and I appreciated the downtime we had from our tour.

Refreshing delicious gelato on a warm day - what a treat While my wife and I were in Vienna recently, we needed a snack and found Zanoni and Zanoni - especially when we saw they had gelato. They indeed had some incredibly delicious gelato. I had the Peach and my wife had the Apricot. They both exploded with incredible flavor. We each got 2 scoops and were pleasantly filled and cooled, and quite glad we stopped in. My only regret? I wish I had gotten 1 scoop of Coffee to go with my 1 scoop of Peach. Be sure to check them out yourself when you go - especially if you go when it's hot.

Very cheap and good gelato for a store located in a very touristy area. The store is huge and popular but we never had to wait both times we visited. Among us we tried the chocolate, straciatella, and pistachio flavors and they were all good. The store also sells drinks, cakes, and breakfast but we only tried the gelato which I would recommend if in the area,

Great breakfast at a great price near the middle of town. Scrambled eggs was all cheesy hammy eggy goodness served in a hot dish with a great coffee on the side. Compared to our experience at Cafe Central yesterday, not so cultural and historic but much better food and coffee at a great price.

One of the BEST gelato places I've ever visited. I tried the hazelnut and nougat flavors which were very delicious. It was so good that I unabashedly returned half an hour after finishing my first cone to get another one. On the second round I tried Nutella which is probably the closest tasting thing to heaven that I would imagine. It had a nice vanilla cream base with literally globs of Nutella mixed in. 10/10 would recommend.

I absolutely LOVED everything about this place! The staff members were polite and the prices were reasonable. Everything looked so good and I had a hard time picking what I wanted to get. My friend lives in Austria and she has tried everything on their menu (so you also have her word!)

The Zanoni is a great Italian Ice Cream Parlor and is the place to be where Viennese gather when it comes to enjoy delicious Italian ice cream. Understandably the Zanoni is therefore a popular meeting point for locals. The Zanoni is perfectly located in the prestigeous and elegant old town of Vienna. Here at Zanoni you will enjoy all sorts of original Italian ice cream with a whole varienty of different and also extravagant ice cream flavors. You can sit in the patio under a great roof as well as inside when the weather is not cooparative. Besides Zanoni's huge variety of Italian ice cream, this place offers many delicious tarts as well. I recommend the Nusstorte (nut tart). The opening hours of Zanoni are great since they close not before midnight (12:00). It is noteworthy that the staff is very friendly and many of them are of Italian decent and therefore have this typical Italian accent. With Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

They are masters of crowd control here! Even though they are incredibly busy most of the time, the wait is consistently short. Service is very friendly and large, cold glasses of tap water are still FREE in a country where businesses charge up to a euro for a tiny glass of warm tap water. Zanoni has absolutely delicious ice cream. Being a seasoned American expat, I REALLY miss mint chocolate chip ice cream. Here at Zanoni I have found my saving grace: a scoop of dark chocolate with a scoop of mint, it's heaven. Ok, I really usually take 2 scoops of each, which is what you see in the picture below. I love coming here especially since they are very nice to children.

TL;DR - Great tasting and amazingly cheap ice cream! Every time we walked past here there was a huge queue. We thought that was only because of its convenient location in the centre of town, but on a hot evening we decided to try out their ice cream and were not disappointed. Perhaps the most amazing thing is how cheap the ice cream is. €2 for ice cream? Don't mind if I do! I went for a scoop of melon and a scoop of lemon; Sparky went for salted caramel and pistachio - all four flavours were delicious.

During my stay in Vienna I became a bit of a gelato connoisseur. I spent a lot of time researching the best gelato in the city via eating gelato every day at every chance I had. My hard work paid off, for I was able to narrow it down to my two favorite spots, Zanoni & Zanoni being one of them. With 25 flavors, you will be overwhelmed with the options, and with all of them displayed right in front of you when ordering, it's going to be hard choosing just one flavor. Luckily, you can order up to three. My favorite combination was a scoop of blueberry and a scoop of apricot. The texture is so smooth and creamy, and each bite tastes like you're eating real fruit. Nothing artificial here! It's unreal of how good it is. Not sure about apricot gelato? My other contenders include banana and yoghurt. Don't waste your time with other the gelato shops in the 1st district -- come to Zanoni & Zanoni!

So far the best ice cream I've had in Vienna. Very large portions and quite cheap as well. Very large local with indoor and outdoor seating but be warned in summer you will struggle to find a table outside. Staff were friendly and quick, place was clean and airy. Good experience overall.

This place is unbelievably AMAZING and DELICIOUS!!! It's a great place! I wish I could get ice cream that is so delicious like this place. They have Nutella flavor. It's great but there is absolutely nothing nothing better than the Orange flavor. all I can say is wow and I wish they could have this place all over the world

Wonderful ice cream! We had the mango, nutela, mascarpone and cafe flavors - all were perfect!! Definately the place to grab good ice cream in the area

The place looks busy and cheerful but my two star review Is due to the disappointing Ice cream. As a real ice cream buff, I opt to conclude restaurant meals with the best desert I prefer, a really good, often Italian, ice cream. After finishing a local dinner near by I looked for a proper desert. As it was late the fist two options around the area were close and since this is an Italian cafe I felt confident while looking at the large set of options. I chose a dark chocolate scoop and topped it with another scoop, this time an Amaretto one. Cheerful went to pay for it while having the first bite... What a disappointment. The amaretto was way too light, nothing like an Italian scoop should be and overly sweet. The chocolate was better but still not something to write home about. To conclude, it may be a nice place to sit for coffee but go to one of the other options around for ice cream.

The creamiest and most flavorful ice cream you will ever taste. The Chocolate was incredible. While vacationing in Vienna, it was suggested we try the ice cream at Zanoni & Zanoni. It was a warm summer day in Vienna, so instead of ordering a cone, we sat down on one of the available seats outside. Even though it was very crowded, we had no problem finding an empty seat. I ordered three scoops (Chocolate, Coffee) and let the waiter select the third scoop. He selected Biscotti which ended up going well with my other flavors. I have rarely tasted ice cream so creamy and flavorful. When I return to Vienna, I would probably have three scoops of Chocolate!

My advice is to believe the hype. I ate gelato or ice cream over forty times in my forty-day trip to Europe. What I experienced at Zanoni & Zanoni was, hands down, the most perfect frozen dairy I will ever taste. It was soft, but in no way resembling a whipped texture. It was such a religious experience that I had to go back the next morning when they opened for breakfast gelato before catching my train out of town. Just awesome.

how is it feasible that germany makes better gelato than italy? at least that's what it felt like at zanoni & zanoni. after a long day of walking around under the blazing sun, gelato sure feels refreshing. for only 3 euros, you can get a small cup that can be filled with up to 3 flavors. they don't skimp on the amount they give you of each flavor, either. they pile that baby up high on your small cup, making every euro worth it. i wish every gelateria was as generous and delicious as this one. there's an extremely large outdoor seating area (canopied, of course). the servers are all super friendly and speak english really well. and there's these colorful and cute displays that are made out of the waffle cones and paper cups they use to scoop your gelato into. my favorites were the stracciatella and the nocciola, but the berry flavors are equally scrumptious.

Best Gelato I have ever had. Pros: So many different flavors. All are creamy and full of flavor. Stays open later than most. Cons: Cash only. No taste tests... This gelateria really nailed it. Would return ASAP.

As far as ice cream parlours go, this is ok. It is very touristy but serves good ice cream and desserts and has a lot of outdoor seating in the summer. The inside also has a lot of seating, including a separate smoking area. It markets itself as being open 365 days a year so if for some reason you fancy ice cream on Christmas Day in Vienna you know where to go! It isn't my preferred ice cream parlour, but if you're passing then why not try it out!

Zanoni & Zanoni is with no doubt one of the best ice cream café in town! The staff is very efficient and remains friendly even when it is very busy. As for the ice cream: it is simply delicious! They even have vegan ice cream, and their coups of ice cream are amazing! so huge and tasty you won't believe you pay so little for such a quantity and quality! Don't be scared by all the people: there is always room for every one, if not outside on the terrace then inside in one of their big comfy and quiet room!

Some people give this place a hard rap, but it would have to be one of the most reliable places in the center of the city. Very affordable. Very fast service. Easy to pay. Hundreds of places to seat over 3 levels, plus outside in the summer. Smoking area on level -2, which is actually maybe the nicest area to sit. Ice Cream and deserts are fantastic. Lots of different foods to have. A perfect place to have Breakfast. So i think you get my point. You must go here.

Great location in heart of Vienna with very tasty and well priced gelato. Mint chip and coffee flavor was very yummy! Service is friendly towards Americans so that was a major plus!

Good food and sweets but they are rude rude rude!This restaurant was located next to our hotel and planned on visiting often but we didn't because of the unbelievably disrespectful and rude people and quite frankly it's like most places in Vienna (you'll see!) First day we had breakfast and food was good but staff is just like most other places in Vienna and what we expected. The next day we stopped in for a piece of cake at the takeaway counter, oh my goodness the older man working the counter was the winner of the most rude arrogant pathetic person we met in Vienna. We ordered cake at the takeaway counter. he firmly told us how much it was but neither one of us could hear what he was saying because it was so loud and busy at the counter. He got very angry with us I'm guessing he thought we didn't understand him speaking German so he angrily walks away comes back with a printed ticket leans over the counter and puts it right to our face and then throws our change on the counter and walks away. What a miserable dummkopf!! Very sad.

While buying a local sim from T-Mobile (data only sim is 10 Euro for 10 GB), we asked the woman helping us which gelato place we should try. I'd researched Eis-Greissler, but we wanted a local's opinion. So we got something from both places! We didn't sit down to enjoy our ice cream, but Zanoni has a huge seating area which seems like a great place to relax. We got two flavors: stracciatella and chocolate. Both were delicious. The ice cream is super fatty in a good way and it doesn't take a lot to satisfy (not to say you won't finish the whole thing). Eis-Greissler just didn't have the same creaminess and intensity of flavor, but it's still very popular and only 2.50 euro, so it's worth a try if you're curious.

Great breakfast and atmosphere! Guess we missed the boat on the gelato part! :-) Can't beat the location, just off the beaten path by a couple of blocks, that's not to say it wasn't crowded!

It was OK! I am from the USA so I have no idea, but the Gelato was good and it seemed like an uber duber popular place. Was packed!

I am sorry to say that but I am not a huge Fan of Zanoni & Zanoni. This place is full the whole time, and personally I don't understand why. The Ice cream is OK, but not overwhelming, but you get a whole load of OK-ice-cream. the service is rute and slow, if you drop some words italian they might turn into nice and caring, but when it comes to the rest of us, you are just "machined off". Last time I was there, the chocolate sauce of my friends ice cup was missing, she needed to ask two waiters for a replacement, but instead of giving it to her and saying they are sorry, first one was telling us the cups are not supposed to be like on the pictures in the menue they are just pictures (hmm I wonder why somebody makes the effort to put pics in a menue when the actual thing is not supposed to be like it), the next one was just annoyed by her question but brought her some with another bill of 90cents.

MOST AMAZING GELATO EVER!!!!!! Every flavor is good. They are so nice and give very generous servings.

Lovely terrace on a buzy shopping street. Fast service and good ice cream- prices are average. You can get coffee, ice cream, sorbets, cake, and fresh juices

After trying a frozen yogurt place across the street offering only a single flavour, we noticed people walking around with multi flavour scoops from this place. We made sure this ice cream place was on our must visit list for the next night. They offer a wide variety of selection of various types of ice cream at affordable prices. They speak English well also so if you are looking for a particular flavour, it is best just to ask. The ice cream itself is creamy and delicious and despite the colder weather of winter in Vienna, it did not lessen the popularity of this place one bit. I would definitely go back. One downside that I was not as happy with was that they have an adjoining business which is obviously all part of the same business which is more of a cafe however if you purchased ice cream versus coffee, you could not sit down in the huge seating area, you must stand outside. This almost knocked them down a full star.

My wife and I arrived in Vienna one evening between Christmas and New Year's, and threw ourselves out into the brightly lit night with no idea of where we'd end up. After wandering by St. Stephens Cathedral, we ended up a few streets later in front of Zanoni & Zanoni, with a _very_ attractive window display filled with pastries. It was obviously time for our first apple strudel! We were tired, and in no mood to spend time sitting in a restaurant eating, so we ordered two slices to take away, and continued our wandering. Back at the hotel, we dug in, and I found a strudel that ended up being one of my favorites from our Vienna trip. My wife, however, told me that the attributes I most liked about it -- a density to the filling and a heaviness to the wrapping -- are the opposite of what a good strudel should be, feeling more like a pie. So what do I know! But I'd definitely go back for another slice, preferably seated in the restaurant, so it could be warm -- and mitt schlag! The place was hopping even at around 9:30 at night on the Thursday after Christmas, so it's obviously popular. Unfortunately, I can't speak to the entirety of the Zanoni & Zanoni experience -- just that one slice of apple strudel. But it's definitely worth a visit.

It's been SO hot all week- in the 90s°F so of course we had to have gelato every day! This place is a great stop because it is fast and such a good deal. They have a lot of flavor selections and I especially like the Stratiettella and Amerena (Cherry). It's been especially crowded because of the humidity but there's plenty of outdoor seating or you can just walk around and enjoy!

I love this place. Whether I just go for an ice-cream to go or sit there. My favourite ice-cream is 'after eight', if u like chocolate with mint then I guarantee you'll love it. It's heavenly! The hot chocolate is amazingggg also. I once ordered a crepe Nutella and asked them to add strawberries on it, they were so generous with the strawberries and it ended up being one of the best crepes I've tried. I love it there and I go quiet often.

Recently did an Eastern Europe tour and this ice cream parlor was the best one we visited. My family and I are gelato freaks. Everywhere we go we try to find a nice gelato place because it's our favorite dessert. Up until we hit Vienna we were pretty disappointed with the options available in other cities. But this place turned it all around. They have so many flavors available that it was hard for me to choose just two or three. The staff is great at translating the names and like others have said make things move pretty fast when there are long lines. It was so good the first night we had it that we returned again our second and last night. I tried the tiramisu, cookie, mint chocolate chip, and dark chocolate. All were amazing. Forget the pastry houses and come here. You won't regret it. Unless you hate ice cream.

this was a great place to enjoy some chocolate torte and other cake while waiting for our Danube boat ride. nearby street is busy and lined with souvenir shops, and a cool looking comic book store. also enjoyed some latte, good table service even though the place was packed. super fun and worth checking out.

Amazing gelato - we came back several times over the course of two days in Vienna, and every flavor we tried was amazing. People behind the counter are really nice too - we had one who speaks five languages and spoke to us in English, french, and Italian as we ordered (the three we knew), which was fun as well.

I'm not going to tell you anything here that the others haven't already said. This is the ice cream of Vienna and worth the drive, walk, bus ride, u-bahn or s-bahn to get here. Get the Topfen, I know you've never heard of it (that's for all of your tourists doing your research in advance), but it's an incredible flavor that pairs with just about everything. Sort of a cream taste but beyond what words can describe. We also love the After Eight, Caramel, Raspberry.... Ok, basically we've never had a bad scoop here. Push through the crowds at the take away counter and be blown away by what you're about to try. Open every day, good in winter, great in spring, amazing in summer and hitting the spot in fall.

Easily the best gelateria in Vienna. It's open late and located between Schwedenplatz and Stephansplatz, which makes it easy to get to. They have a variety of flavors, and the service was quick and courteous.

We were told this is the best gelato in Vienna by our driver on our way from the airport. The place did not disappoint. It is located just a few minutes walk from Stephansdom. Lots of seating that makes for fun people watching. Prices seemed more than reasonable. We did not try and food but did order several espressos. We particularly enjoyed the strawberry, melon and apple flavors.

We stuck with the fruit gelatos, and they were delicious! Also a good price. It looked really crowded at the counter but there was basically no wait. Would like to go back and try more flavors :)

Really good gelato with a variety of good flavors! Plus I like how their one scoop cone is actually one scoop unlike in the US when the ice creams shops pile it on (hello portion control!). The tart- sour yogurt is delicious and perfect for me since I like sour - it's sour yet creamy. BF had the vanilla cherry which was a bit thicker, sweeter and more like ice cream. You get a nice, airy cone. I'm a fan.

Great coffee, desserts and icecream in the middle of the city. It can get very crowded in the high season.

My favorite place in Vienna. Always crowded but always delivers. Great service, great food, great ice cream and hot drinks. Open till late and has seating outside. Live it
