Bellagio’s Gelato

Freshly made salad rolls for $ 5 — a decent quick option for a Vietnamese snack. The sauce is standard and bland, so best case scenario bring this home and wake it up with some fish sauce and sambal oelek or other chili sauce.

Thumbs up. Yummy sorbetto. Very friendly staff. $ 4 for a single scoop. I had the raspberry low calorie one. Delicious

I tried this place again and sorry I did. The sorbetto tasted watered down and icy, and they give you extremely small portions. I make better sorbetto at home. Do yourself a favour and walk up to Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France on 21^st & Main, or Continental Coffee at 26^th & Main. Both places offer amazing quality sorbetto and gelato. Bellagio’s doesn’t even compare.

Most ambitious gelato operation on the west coast!!! As an LA-​native, I’m no stranger to awesome gelato. However, on my recent trip to Vancouver I found the pinnacle of this ice cream brand. Since changing owners in early 2015, Bellagio’s became the most ambitious dedicated gelateria on the West Coast, and perhaps in North America. Their huge gelato kitchen is capable of making 54(!) different flavors all ON SITE. While most gelaterias large or small do not have on-​site equipment, Bellagio’s is the closest you can get to visiting a gelato factory. Familiar flavors from tiramisu to salted caramel are made with the most premium ingredients. A dedicated ‘Asian section’ has flavors made of imported fruits so exotic, it made me want to visit an Asian produce store. The venue also offers coffee, sandwiches, and other light fare, and is still expanding. If you live in Vancouver, or are just passing through, put Bellagio’s at the top of your list!

Found this little place last week and will definitely be going back! Super fresh Vietnamese subs and salad rolls and the gelato was divine! Amazing flavours, large servings, reasonably priced, very friendly folks!

For everyone who gave this place a mediocre review, you should go back! It is under new ownership and much improved. The gelato flavours are nicely balanced and not overly sweet like the previous operators made it. Plus, Vietnamese sandwiches are delicious and much needed in the this otherwise Banh Mi deprived section of Main St. The people who work here are also super nice and friendly.

Excellent service and quality of gelato. I think some of their flavours are quite sweet so it tastes less «natural». Otherwise I really like the cocomio and the pistachio flavours.
Definitely would return.

I have been here a few times. The most recent was last month but prior to that, it must have been a few years ago. My favourite flavour is Coca-​Cola. It used to have cola gummies mixed in. But I was told, they didn’t have any. I requested to taste a few samples to see which 2 flavours I wanted. Hubby always knows what 2 flavours he wants. She was more than happy to let me try 5 before deciding :) Some places (Purdy’s at Oakridge give a maximum of 2 samples (bad customer service if you ask me). I was undecided between 3 flavours, but ended up getting Passion Fruit and Watermelon on a cone. Hubby got Ferrero Roche and Capuccino. My 3^rd flavour I was unsure about was Mango. The sweet lady actually placed a big half scoop on top of my cone so I can taste it too. Unfortunately it fell but she re-​scooped the top 2 flavours and placed it in a cup with my Passion Fruit still in my waffle cone. I thought that was very generous of her and will definitely be back!

We stopped by for dessert as we were dining nearby. There was a 20% discount until mid March which was a bonus!
There was a small selection of gelato to choose from. Staff was fast to provide samples for us to taste. The gelato reminded me of La Casa but slightly creamier. We ended up choosing green tea and toffee. It was a satisfying dessert after dinner.
There is also a Vietnamese sandwich station for those interested in a snack or stopping by for lunch.
My only complaint is that staff were busy socializing when we were eating our gelato in store and as we left. There is room for improvement in terms of service. No thank you or goodbye from staff as we left. We were the only customers at that time.
4 stars for the price and gelato! At regular price, I would probably go to Dolce Amour first.

After seeing the line-​up at Earnest Ice Cream, my family and I decided to go to Bellagio’s and we were extremely disappointed in our experience. I have no complaints about the service, the girl that served us was polite and just doing what her management had ordered her to. My main complaints are pricing, no sizing options for kids and no flexibility. My kids are 7, 5 and 2. It is pretty outrageous that we had to pay $ 4 for ice-​cream for each them and they have no specific «kids sizes». We asked for to pay for a cup so we could give a little of our order to my youngest and that was not allowed. Also, when we paid for our ice-​cream, we were under the impression that we would have the option of «cone or cup» for our ice-​cream and only paid and the $ 0.50 for the waffle cone for my husband. When it came time to pick our flavours I ordered mine and it came in the cone, and then she proceeded to give cups to the rest of the family. When we asked for cones she said they only had the waffle cone option, and we would be at the additional cost for the rest of us to have a cone! Seriously? What ice-​cream parlour doesn’t have regular cones? Needless to say, we will NOT be visiting this over-​priced, ‘not real gelato” serving establishment again! Oh, and they ONLY accept cash!

I don’t think so. As a matter of fact, I KNOW so! More like Bellagio’s Ice-​cream. And not even the good ones.
Having worked at a gelato parlor owned by a true-​to-​heart Italian old man, I know when there is good gelato. This place disappointed me. In a big way. The gelato here lacked in flavour, smoothness and overall gelato-​ness. The temperature was off. Presentation was unappealing. Everything just looked unappetizing.
The girl was nice enough to entertain some samples. The sample itself was usually «bleh». I’m so glad we didn’t pay the extra $ 0.50 for the waffle cones. They were just sitting out in a sad pile in a sad plastic container. I can almost taste the staleness from here.
It was expensive for what it was. $ 4 for single; $ 6 for double. We paid $ 20. Still regretting it. Gelato prices for ice-​cream. That’s just not right. Not only that… cash only! I almost wish we didn’t have the cash today. Worst $ 20 spent, to date.

There were so many flavours that I had a hard time deciding what I wanted! There were some neat flavours too, like Cola. We ended up with hazelnut ice cream and strawberry cheesecake on waffle cones (which were 50 cents extra). I liked the hazelnut flavour because it wasn’t tooooo sweet. Next time, I will try the other flavours!

I had a really good experience here today. I decided to finally stop in and try their gelato. The staff were pleasant and the gelato scooper, I think his name was Isis (I think that is how you spell it) was really friendly and chatty. You can taste as many flavours as you want, makes it easier if you’re having a hard time committing!
The smiley faces and gelato definitely was the cherry on the top of my day!
NOTE: CASH ONLY

The only reason I’m not giving them one star is because they deal in gelato lol and if it’s super hot even mediocre product can satisfy. Cr@ppy Stale excuses for waffle cones and when I took my daughter to get her first cone of the 2014 season (they are only open late spring to end of summer) I definitely noticed a seriously terrible change in management. The gelato we got tasted Stale and there was a big gummy ribbon of grossness in my daughter’s pannacotta. It sucks even more because I pass it everyday and the location and venue could really be made in to something great if only the product and staff were. Well. great themselves lol
Long and short of it, don’t let the gotten ice cream cone and patio fool you, you will be disappointed.
head over to earnest ice cream on Fraser if you’re in the hood and want a extraordinary frozen experience

Terrible!!! These guys are so cheap, rude and have very poor quality gelato. They do not care about their customers. I asked for a half and half scoop and they said they don’t ‘do’ that. I told the rude girl they should state that in their signage and pricing. When I watched her scoop my choice of flavor, she made a very conscious effort to scoop only the ‘bottom leftover bits’ to ensure that I did not get any of the topping. I requested the Stracciatella flavor and I should’ve just said plain vanilla because she went out of her way to make sure I only got the bottom leftover scraps without any topping. When I tasted the gelato, it was watery and flavorless, not sure if it was because of the quality or because she opted to make sure I had no ‘chocolate topping’. I guess I should’ve know, walking in on a hot summer night to find that I was the only customer.

I usually love gelato in all flavours and forms, but this place just isn’t up to par with the other gelato places in town. In fact, it’s probably the bottom of the barrel. Some of the flavours (Tiramisu and Ferrero) tasted watered down, and the Mint Chocolate (and some others) only had chocolate drizzle rather than bits mixed into the actual gelato, which seemed… lazy? Regardless, it was very off putting. Regardless, the place was pretty busy when we were there… I guess it’s just the lack of gelato options in the area. (Pssst. There’s a DQ a block down)

I think we can all agree that there is nothing better than gelato on a hot day. I know there is nothing more I crave when it’s hot. Well, maybe a beer.
Do they have beer flavored gelato?
Regardless, gelato is amazing and it’s far better than the soft serve ice cream out of a bag labelled «milk product». I know cause my first job was at DQ!
Sunday was the annual «Car Free Day» on Main Street so I decided to go for a walk to check it out. I had been out all day to Granville Market and for a run at the sea wall and both times I passed gelato stands. It was torture. I held back so well until I came across this place.
First of all it was packed. Their set up is pretty good, you pay first, hand over your receipt and they get you whatever you want. It got a little overwhelming cause they call out by receipt number for who is served next and it was loud so it was hard to hear. Regardless, I got my gelato and that’s all that matters.
It took me a while to decide. With flavors like Kinder-​Surprise, Cherry Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Ferrero Rocher and even Rum Raisin, I was in a dilemma.
But, once I saw Wildberry Cheesecake I decided!
Since I want to try the Chocolate Hazelnut and Ferrero Rocher I will be back for sure.
Be aware– CASH ONLY. This is rare, don’t go in unprepared.
Enjoy!

After dinner next door Ryu Sushi, walked by this just wasn’t in the mood for gelato but did notice their sign «No preservatives added», so that must be a good sign.
80 flavours, will check out next time, probably the only one in this neighbourhood.

The big icecream sign caught my eye when driving along Main street. Spacious outdoor patio haunted me to check out the gelato shop so bad!
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but the gelato display area is only ²⁄₃ full. There are not many flavours to choose. I was wondering if they are open because the lighting was a bit dark and there was only one guy working. I wonder why there was only one person working in a huge gelato space in summer while other gelato places has at least 3 people standing next to the gelato cooler and 1 at the cash register. But after I my first bite of my tiramisu gelato, I knew why. It’s not good at all. It tasted like old dairy product with rum. I am sorry, but I don’t think I would ever go back again.

CASH ONLY! Luckily I had a purse full of loonies and twoonies as I generally don’t have much cash on me.
I picked the $ 17 carton and got Coffee Crunch, Strawberry Sorbetto and Chocolate. All were delicious but everyone commented on how ‘strawberry’ the sorbetto was. Really scrumptious!
