Gluten-free cone with all kinds of delicious gluten-free flavors and a strong focus on quality. There is also a gluten-free cannoli which is very good, super crispy, and filled with ricotta and optionally chocolate flakes. The only item with gluten is the focaccia, which is kept in a special container and filled separately to avoid contamination. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff.

They make everything gluten-free, including cones and wafers, with unique but very good flavors, so I recommend going there at least once, you won't regret it!

In my top 3 ice creams in Bologna. Classic flavors and not, especially the fruity ones. Gluten-free cone available.

Truly exceptional gelato, among the best I have ever tasted. At Stefino, you immediately sense the great attention to quality and the choice of ingredients: each flavor has a full, authentic taste that truly delivers on its promise. The variety is interesting and never commonplace, with original proposals that show continuous research and a true passion for gelato. You can also find unique flavors that are hard to find elsewhere, and there is great attention for those with intolerances, with truly valid lactose-free options. Moreover, the location is convenient, close to the city center. Highly recommended!

Truly exceptional gelato; you can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients. I am lactose intolerant and greatly appreciated the variety of lactose-free flavors, which is not taken for granted... but I admit, I couldn’t resist and wanted to try a couple of "classic" flavors, and they have an incredible body, creaminess, and balance. The staff is very kind, and the prices are absolutely honest (in fact, for what they offer, they could charge a bit more). A place you gladly return to.

A gelateria worthy of its fame. Remarkable assortment of flavors, many of which step outside the classics, with pairings (based on what I could try) definitely spot on. Both water-based and rice gelato are available, suitable for vegans/lactose intolerant, covering most of the flavors offered, effectively utilizing the characteristics of each base. Friendly and professional gelato makers, ready to suggest pairings even with the more unusual flavors. Prices are above the average in Bologna; the search for quality ingredients comes at a cost. They are worth it (especially considering the average prices in the area). Positive note: all cups and spoons are compostable, so organic and away. This is no small matter. Moreover, there's a cannelle in the store from which you can help yourself, which is also absolutely no small thing—especially in summer—as it helps reduce the use of plastic bottles and is even free. Details that overall highlight the place. Detail on what was tried: Yucatan: chocolate and chili. The presence of the chili is noticeable, which I have learned is not a given in desserts. Highly promoted. Cuba: chocolate and cherries. Balanced, well-studied. Cheeky Chocolate: made with goat’s milk, salty. You have to like goat's milk, the very strong flavor risks overpowering other tastes if not paired carefully. Wasabi: a real discovery, together with the Yucatan the best flavor tried today. Not too strong, but definitely present. Nougat: almost more similar to a hazelnut and honey cream found at some fairs, good in taste even if it said little about the nougat. Something crunchy would have helped to recall the texture. Raspberry: normal, nothing particular to say, well made, classic. Sicilian almond granita: firstly, it is prepared using whole almonds, so you shouldn't expect the classic white cream. This is neither a merit nor a defect, just a characteristic to consider. Then the texture is less creamy than the gelaterias in Messina-Catania and vaguely grainy due to the use of unpeeled almonds. Finally, it is slightly less sweet than southern granitas. It may not be the most traditional, but for those not looking for exactly *that*, it remains an excellent almond granita, of excellent quality and workmanship (stylistic choices depend on personal taste), creamier than many others at this latitude. In conclusion, it is worth a visit at least to taste the most inspired gelatos.
