What People Are Saying About Ciao Bella Cafe
Featured Review

In Short – Ciao Bella produces tons of Italian gelato every week in its Soho factory, and this small café offers only a small slice of the vast Ciao Bella empire: about 20 flavors of gelato, sorbet, and yogurt, with seating at a few small tables and booths. Ciao Bella makes more than 100 flavors, and sells to restaurants across the country. A number of New York eateries order custom flavors made especially for them.

Best Gelato in NYC
by christosheppy
I go by here pretty much every day on my way home from work, and I always grab a pint of vanilla or mango gelato-they're both unbeliveable. My wife almost won't let me through the door without some!
- Pros: nice clean shop
- Cons: none really

hands-down the best sorbet ever
by fubabee
Normally I'm not a fan of sorbet. Conventional products usually taste like flavored ice. But Ciao Bella... few words can describe the creamy velvety goodness of their sorbet. Not only was their mango sorbet the best tasting sorbet I've ever had, it was also the best tasting mango flavored dessert I've ever had! I highly recommend this place for an after dinner treat!

the BEST gelato in town!
by tze
no wonder Ciao Bella won the 2004 Time Out award for best ice cream. They have really great creative flavors. Last time i had "Sticky Bun" gelato and "Cherry Sake" Sorbetti. I pick up thier packed pints in Whole Foods every time i go grocery shopping. mmm.....
AND Ciao Bella was started in Little Italy. Yay NYC pride!
- Pros: inexpensive, friendly, creative

Not worth it
by hegle
This place is less than ok. The gelato was barely edible, the service was rude, and the place is shabby with ripped seats. Save your money; Haagen Daz store-bought gelato is much, much better.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Gelato, Service, Decor
