We stumbled on this Gelato place and it is incredible. They rotate flavours and have some really interesting and delicious ones! The hazelnut is to die for. The Tequilla and Tajin was really delicious! Their black Forrest flavour is also very good along with the Tiramisu! We will be back! They also have a cute shady patio to enjoy your ice cream as well!

We’ve been going to Pops in Tamarindo for ice cream every weekend but yesterday we thought we’d switch it up.. We found Venezia Gelati & Caffe on the main strip along the beach and decided to give it a try.. There was only one woman working behind the counter but she was pretty helpful and friendly, and we didn’t have to wait long for her to take our orders. I got the lemon pie gelato in a waffle cone and it was absolutely amazing.. Honestly everything we got was fantastic and the kids couldn’t have been happier.. Their coffee drinks were super good too!! Also if you’re looking for some more than just ice cream and you’ve got the appetite for it, try one of their desserts!! They offer everything from tiramisu and cheesecake to banana bread and chocolate cake!! The prices were a little higher than some of the places you’ll find off the beaten path, but still fair enough.. Bottom line is that their gelato was amazing and Venezia is definitely worth a try!!

We went a few times and the cakes and gelato were always good. The pithaya and the pistachio gelatos were our favourite. Cas and chile cake gelato were ok. Passion fruit cheesecake was good. Ok price for the area, a bit cheaper than a close competitor. We also appreciated that there was a 2x1 promotion on the cakes one of the weekday nights we went.

Very good! Lots of flavors to choose from and coffee items! Scoops are only $3 each and you can get a cone or cup. I recommend the blackberry flavor!

If you’re near the beach in Tamarindo and craving a sweet treat, this ice cream spot is a must-visit! With a variety of delicious, creamy flavors to choose from, it’s the perfect way to cool off after a sunny day by the water. The quality of the ice cream is fantastic – rich and indulgent, with options that cater to all tastes. The best part? It’s just a short stroll from the beach, so you can enjoy your cone while taking in the ocean breeze. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a refreshing, tasty treat in Tamarindo!

Great pistachio gelato, very expensive. Coconut was very mild flavored. Choco banana was great. Customer service is fair, nothing to write about food or bad. Hours are different because of covid-19. I like it enough to come back while I'm here.
