The best gelateria is on Strada Nova. Definitely!

Myriam-where's the picture? Your link doesn't work.

And Nessun-those pictures are making me crave my gelato fix on the Strada Nuova in Venice right NOW.

When you buy a gelato make sure the costs are listed somewhere .I had a gelato stand rip me off 16 euros for two small cones.The hustle is, you buy the cone outside on the streetside they hand you a cone the first thing you do is lick it,they walk to the register inside the stand where the charges are written on a piece of cardboard,then hand you 2 coins .The law is they have to post cost in their building but as soon as you lick the cone you own it.Right? My wife pulled me out of there . lesson for me always say quanda costa?HOW MUCH. No gelato is worth a sawbuck.

In all my years of going to Italy, Miaspapa, I've never seen that once.

That's weird! The pic is in one of my public albums on Webshots. I put it on Photobucket now, might work better.

I've never seen a gelateria where they don't have prices.
I just wonder if it was more a case of short changing you.
When I hand over money in Italy or anywhere else, I always say what I'm handing over and apologise if it's a large note.
I was told to do that by an Italian friend.

The pics are amazing, makes me want to jump on a plane right now. Does Perche No have red tables and coca-cola decortations? The one I'm thinking of is famous for their carmel falvor, and it is much more like an ice cream shop, they don't sell anything but gelato.

Here's a picture of the interior of Perche no!

No one has mentioned my favorite in Venice: Paolin in Campo Santo Stefano.

But I agree, in general, the gelato in Rome, Florence, and Bologna is better.
