Great Gelato with unique flavors. I had the mango & strawberry in a cone, and while it wasnt mind-blowing, it was 100% worth the reasonable price. Will be visiting again, as its location is decently convenient.
Authentic Italian gelato with interesting flavors
Best real Italian gelato in the Bay Area I think. Smoothest texture and whole ingredients.
Best vegan gelato in the bay area hands down. My favorite is getting both passionfruit and dark chocolate. Highly recommend getting a sorbet flavor with the vegan dark chocolate in one of the larger cups.
The best gelato in the Bay... possibly California. This place really is a lab. They create the most amazing flavours with high quality ingredients. There is no bad choice you can make here. My personal favourites are hazelnut and pistachio. The ambience is also lovely and the people are great and you should really visit if you are in the area.
Best genuine Italian Gelato in Berkeley. Try Gianduila flavor its a chocolate/hazelnut mix and is like a light creamy version of Nutella.
Don’t understand the high reviews. The worst gelato I have ever had anywhere. Watery and without any punch of flavor. Icy much like the owner. Reminiscent of frozen La Croix.
Excellent ice cream, one of the best Ive ever tried. As an extra, they do not use sugar, which makes the final product healthier, lighter, and guilty free. One scoop has less calories than an apple! Tastes also better as you can fully appreciate the hazelnut/chocolate/orange etc (depending on the flavour). They also serve piadina:) . Friendly atmosphere.I would definitely recommend.
Even through the lock down you can still get some of the best gelato at Caravaggio! They are selling by the pint. Thank you for serving my sister her favorite vanilla! Your honey lavender gave me some sunshine to help me through my laptop workday! We cant wait to come back for some more!
What a lovely place. We were in Berkeley for a casual lunch on Shattuck Ave and walked by this place. It looked so cute and cozy that we had to go in. Plus it said Italian gelato, are you kidding me? You cant simple walk by, pass it and not stop.Very casual and warm atmosphere inside, love the way its done up. Few seats at a large community table and few tables outside as well.Organic milk and great vegan options too. Few great gelato options, sorbets and coffee with great quality here!I love me some pistachio gelato that is not easy to find but this place nailed it. I opted for the cone which was freshly made, crunchy and delicious. Hubby loved his afogato and we had a great time speaking in Italian to the owners.Well located on a busy street like Shattuck and so close to the BART, makes this place ideal spot for that gelato on a hot day! They also have few table games for entertainment :)Gender neutral bathrooms and super clean, happy me :)
We lived in Italy for a year and we’ve never been able to find decent gelato in the Bay Area until now. You’ll not regret coming here. I’m giving it 4 stars after a few visits to this place, I have to say frankly the portions are way smaller than in Italy, especially for the price you pay I think it warrants upping their portions a bit more.
Got stracciatella and black sesame. 👍
Still gave pints for sale during pandemic! all theyre fllavors are really good, taste like what they r made of and not too heavy, plus they are super nice and frined;y, good peole good ice cream
Their gelato is creamy and the flavors delicious. My favorite are hazelnut and coffee.
Saw this place mistreating a customer, giving them less than a full cup while serving others a larger portion size...
Very overpriced. Located in a sketchy neighborhood. Was disappointed!
Its a very clear, and do to theCorona Virus 19 The services was friendly AND ABOVE ALL ITSNONE NOT TO B- 2 BUSTI FOUND MYSELF IN AND OUTACTUALLY BEFORE I WAS READY 😜😃😀. ALSO 2 ALL HAPPYTHANKSGIVING. AND WE ALLTHATS HEAR WE HAVE A LOTTO EVEN BE GREATFUL FOR.GOD BLESS
How can you not like gelato
I havent been there in over a year but I remember the flavor was good and then what gets me coming back was the texture. Like youre eating nothing but somehow still ice cream. Ive mainly tried their non vegan flavors... Heavenly.
Texture of ice cream was amazing but lacked flavor. Also all the best flavors were vegan and I really dont like vegan ice cream. However if you are vegan. I would highly recommend this place because it has a wide variety of ice cream for you. It just wasnt for me.
I’ve been getting takeout pints almost every week since the pandemic. I love trying unique flavors and so far every one is just unbelievably fresh and delicious. Can’t believe they even nailed the Matcha flavor since not many shops here have authentic Matcha with just the right amount of sweetness (I would say it’s as good as the Matcha drinks you get in Asha)Recently I’m in love with coconut 🥥 and black currant. Just amazing that they have so many new & different flavors every season. I’m already worried that I can’t find a gelato place as good when I move out of Berkeley in the future :/
Good experience. I tried the milk chocolate in a small cup and it tasted great. Theres a very large HDTV screen behind the counter and a restroom for customers. I didnt see the full menu, but you can order coffee drinks.
Most delicious gelato Ive ever enjoyed! Beautiful and unusual flavors. Lovely shop and nice outdoor tables. Ever changing flavors per the richest fruits available. My go-to for visiting friends and family. Big plus: captivating digital images on huge video screen are inspiring to relax and enjoy the whole experience.
Extremely good, even for gelato. Also healthy ingredients and amazing seasonal flavors. The passion fruit, non-vegan chocolate hazelnut, and almond are all personal favorites. Its also all lactose-free dairy milk and youd never notice a taste difference, which is great for people who are lactose intolerant. Plus they have a wide selection of vegan options too. And friendly staff. Clearly Im hooked :)
Go here whenever were in town regardless how full. Exceptional pistachio gelato: better than whats available in Italy or France. Excellent coffee as well. Cold wish for more bitter in the chocolate flavor.
Best gelato Ive ever had! The flavors are so rich and complex! They use all-natural and high-quality ingredients. Everything is made on-site. You really must go to experience it! Lots of free samples to help you decide on a flavor (it will be a tough call-- theyre all so good!).
We are vegan and are addicted to their sorbets. The dark chocolate sorbet is unlike any I have ever tasted. Its not too sweet and intensely chocolaty.Its sensationally creamy. This stuff produces some serious endorphins!
Good gelato with subtle flavors. Quiet and unobtrusive with a pleasant atmosphere. The place looks roomier than it is due to mirrors. The service was excellent.
Their vanilla gelato is very good! Sometimes plain and simple is the best way to go. 😉
Ive gone here on two separate occasions now and enjoyed myself both times. The gelato is in small portions but reasonably priced for the quality of the product theyre making. I would say that while some flavors are total knockouts other seem rather weak in the flavor department. Perhaps thats by design but I personally would prefer it if every flavor packed more punch. I would reccomend this place to just about anyone, but definitely try a flavor first before you buy it.
Best icecream in Berkeley! The icecream is not too sweet unlike many other places, and truer to the flavour it claims to be. The mango flavour is the closest Ive come to real Indian mango in the US, definitely worth a taste even if you dont buy it!
Best, best, best best ever Italian Gelato in the Bay Area! They let you try all the flavors if you want before choosing them. If you speak Italian, the owner will entertain you explaining the secrets behind every taste. A bit expensive, but the ingredients are prime quality so its totally worth it!
Its the smoothest gelato Ive ever had. And the flavors are so delicious. Theyve got at least 4-6 vegan flavors going and they frequently rotate, which I sincerely appreciate. I will be back often.
Great Gelato spot in Berkeley, with a few innovative flavors amongst the normal Gelato fare, they are always testing new ideas and flavors. A step above the ordinary, this is the place to get your Cold Sugar fix on.
One of the best ice cream I have ever tasted. They use prime quality ingredients and a particular technique (yielding low glycemic index) that results in a light, yet very creamy and flavorful ice cream. The sorbets are also extraordinary.
Great ice cream and flavours. Always so fresh and tatsy
This is my favourite gelato place in the bay area. The pistachio is so rich and creamy and they always have simple, but delicate flavours on offer. The owner will gladly explain the whole process and all the ingredients used. Must visit!
Excellent options for vegetarians. They have vegan, and lacto friendly options. Great flavours. My favourite ice cream in California!
Best gelato in East bay. Skimpy portion even by Italian standards.
Great gelato but super expensive. The small (which was two teeny tiny scoops) was 4.50. Lots of vegan/non dairy flavors though, which h was great for me (lactose intolerant).
Fantastic ice creams. A lot to choose for vegans. I recommend you stracciatella with splash of hot chocolate
Exceptional Gelato made on premises. The best pistachio gelato Ive ever had, and Ive had plenty in Italy, France and here in the US! Also had their chocolate with hazelnut and raspberry, grapefruit and milk chocolate flavors. All are very smooth, not too sweet so you can actually taste the fruit or nut flavors.
Best Ice cream place in Berkeley. True italian tradition, fresh products based. Awesome place also for a coffee or a cappuccino.
Absolutely delicious. Each flavor I tasted was extremely flavorful and decadent. There were many vegan options as well. Worth every penny.
The most legitimate gelato in the bay area. I lived in Florence for a semester and learned the trick to spotting authentic Italian goods is if the treasure is hidden in the counter, not exposed to the elements. The nocciola is forever my favorite but Caravaggio maintains flavors that are in season.
Pretty expensive but flavors are unique.
Amazing texture! Very creamy. A bit pricy, but worth it. The taste of the pistachio wasnt really very good. But the texture was incredible.
Best gelato in townReasonable price and quality. The location doesnt really have a lots of parking nearby, but it would be okay. Since I tasted this, i couldnt eat others.
Amazing gelato- I recommend the Tiramisu flavor
I dont know how anyone could give this place less than 5 stars. It is the most amazing gelato I have ever tasted. Seriously, the texture, flavor, and sweetness are all perfect. Mauro is extremely dedicated and cares deeply about the craft of gelato. Go here.
It reminds me of Italy. The sorbets tastes like fresh seasonal fruit. And their cones are a dessert all by themselves.
Very authentic. Great taste, and original flavors. Best in Berkeley.
Really great ice cream. Friendly staff. Fun family style seating inside
Loved the hazelnut and the passion fruit gelato!
The best gelato and sorbet in the area! The Italian owners know their stuff: the gelatos and sorbets are all made on premises, kept at the right temperature, and taste awesome. My Italian friends rate it very highly.
Lovely service; delicious gelato!
The best gelato ever and not only the best in Bay Area but the best I had in my life ! Try chocolate, pistachio and all sorbet, in fact all are great. The people behind it are wonderful as well, a place with a great story, Enjoy it.
Great selection of interesting flavors. Mix and match for fun combinations
If you have been to Caravaggio, you already know it is THE BEST gelato in town and we were lucky to have Emiliano and Mauro agree to cater our wedding at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley.The gelato stand offered 8 flavors with very sweet his and hers signage.It was such a hit!Service was flawless and our guests had a blast trying all 8 flavors (hazelnut, pistachio and tiramisu are all my favorites!).I highly recommend to anyone in search for a special treat for an event! The team is really easy to work with, fun and reliable.Grazie mille Mauro and team!
Great gelato, some of the best in the Bay Area. The pistacchio ice cream was outstanding.
Great place for authentic gelato and beautiful slideshows of the classic Italian landmarks.This is one of my go-to spots, especially for Tinder dates or post-family-dinner desserts. Ive spent hours talking to one of the owners in Italian, which immediately brings me back, thanks also to the beautiful slideshows on all the televisions.
Fantastic gelato. As good as what youd get in Italy. Also solid espresso. Havent tried the piadina yet, but looks good.
Best gelato Ive had in the Bay Area, feels like Italy. Go for fiordilatte and you wont regret it.
Nice, quaint gelateria/cafe. I only had an espresso drink so my next visit will be to try the gelato.
So good! Hazelnut and mandarin gelatos were both delicious and new to me.
Delicious but a bit pricey for just gelato...
Amazing in house gelato with many different flavors to choose from. Kind of pricey though.
Interesting flavors with consistently spectacular texture! This is by far the best gelato I’ve ever had, and has quite frankly ruined me for ever eating other gelato ever again.Ever.So while I would recommend this life changing experience to anyone who treasures a cold dessert, I must say that without regular infusions of this mana from heaven, you’re likley to experience great sadness.Prepare yourself.
Its fine but their selection is limited.
This is what I like in a gelateria. nice presentation and in a glass stemmed cup. Lots of good choices of flavors.
Great and tasty ice cream made from high quality ingredients.
Best Affogato in Berkeley area. Also one of the best Expresso coffee in town!
The best ice cream in Bay Area. So delicious!
Some of the best gelato I have had and so many began options! Very nice staff but very expensive only went there because my friend found 900$ in an abandoned building.
Tasty gelato in a warm setting!
Absolutely authentically Italian! So delicious.
Great selection of gelato and sorbets, all made daily and not pre-frozen. Almost too many choices Great taste. My only qualm is that the pistachio does not have to be dyed green to be appealing. A nice stop when walking around Berkeley.
Best gelato in Berkeley
One of the best gelato places I have been to outside of Italy. The flavors are rich and the gelato texture is smooth and creamy. The owners are very friendly and passionate about what they do. A must try in Berkeley!
Was OK. Was expecting the gelato to be phenomenal based on the reviews, but it was only so-so... Ive had much better in the US
Caravaggios gelato has a nice texture but is weak on flavor. Also, the stracciatella, which should be laced with ribbons of chocolate, had only a few specs of chocolate in it.
Fantastic ice creams (including vegan flavors) and fantastic service in a funky little space.
Unique flavors. Very tasty. Service can be spotty.
Best ice-cream ever, tastes so real
Try flower of milk, a flavor you could only find in Italy.
Excellent Cappuccino and Gelato, Genuine Taste of Italia
Intensely delicious and creamy flavors. No long lines unlike other berkeley places!
Best gelato ever! Even better than those we had in Italy!
The quality of the Gelato was just average; the flavors werent bad, but dont expect anything mind-blowing. Also, this place completely skimps on the serving sizes, especially for the price. For example, the small I ordered at Caravaggio = two ping-pong ball sized scoops of gelato. Thats way smaller than every other small gelato Ive ever had elsewhere.
Ruined me for other gelato (and ice cream). Ive had quality, authentic gelato around the world, and this is some of the very best
The grapefruit is EPIC. EEEEEEEEEPIC.Guava is epic tooSicilia lemon is epic toooooooooYou may want to taste lime mojito either
Best gelato Ive found in the East Bay! I used to live in Italy - this is real Italian gelato. Try the hazelnut, pistachio, or mango for incredible flavors.
Not too sweet
