I requested a taste of the gelato & was handed "chocolate" gelato that was terrible. When I requested a different flavor, the owner became obviously upset, and very reluctantly gave me my taste of mint gelato. Just as I was about to have a taste, I glanced in the case & noticed numerous bugs & flies on the front edge of the cooler. When I pointed them out to him, he became angry & began to yell at me in Italian. I was amazed that he would be angry with me when his shop clearly had major cleanliness issues. Nonetheless, he continued to yell and waved me out of his shop, still yelling as I walked away.

For cleanliness sake, I would avail myself of one of the dozens of other gelato shops around Venice. So many of them are wonderful (and CLEAN) and the people are very friendly. Unfortunately, Venice Cream is not one of them.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12855 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3826
Take a book or munch on a Gianduiotto di passeggio from the Da Nico gelateria in the summer.

Wistful in winter: take a midnight walk in the freezing cold and take in the sound of the Giudecca Canal.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3826
