Benedetto Gelato

Benedetto Gelato is a gem. The gelato is smooth, rich, and full of flavor — you can really taste the quality. Great mix of classic and seasonal options, and the staff is always friendly and happy to offer samples.
I went in for one pint of tiramisu and walked out with two because I had to try their new Fiora di Coco (white chocolate & coconut) — so good. Clean, cozy shop, generous portions, and fair prices. Definitely worth a stop if you’re craving something sweet. 🍨✨

Best pistachio Ice cream I've had in a long while.Service was top notch.

The service was excellent and very friendly. The flavors were hard to choose one, so I got two :) It is all made in house, and yes it was amazing!

As soon as you put the pistachio gelato in your mouth, the creaminess and flavor hits you. The texture is thick and rich. For me, it's worth it's price.

The best gelato in the west coast! Amazing gelato! Tastes like Italy! 😋

Gelato was ok but affogato (coffee) was truly tasteless. Presentation was nothing like an Affogato

One cannot really go wrong with gelato and homemade waffle cones unless it's not your forte. There are four flavors I want to try, can't wait to return.

This place definitely made a customer for life with me, the employees are so sweet and the gelato is amazing 10/10 will definitely be coming soon

The gelato was awesome!

The best gelato I’ve ever had,
I came to try Benedetto with family as soon as I’d heard about it online, being a Riverside local with a huge sweet tooth, and it was incredible! I must have tried half the flavors they were all so unique. The most notably refreshing for us that the whole family adored was the mango passionfruit. As someone who’s tried gelato from all over Italy, I truly think this place is special in both its high quality and its uniqueness. You really rarely find this kind of variation at most gelato shops. Highly recommend as a stop if you’re in Riverside!

We stopped by this pretty shop in The Farmhouse center on University St. today and I got the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I ordered a cup with the Chocolate Chip Cream and Rocky Road. The ice cream was so smooth, creamy and rich! The chocolate chips were large substantial pieces and there were a lot of them. The Rocky Road chocolate was also so delicious as were the marshmallows. The service was fast and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The shop has beautiful signage and is clean and just beautiful. Highly recommend Benedetto Gelato as a wonderful local place in the City of Riverside to enjoy top notch nice cream treats!

Best ice cream I’ve ever had

If you love high-quality ice cream, you HAVE to try this place! I gladly drive 30 minutes just to enjoy their delicious, premium gelato. I have a sensitive stomach and can immediately tell when ingredients are low quality, never a problem at Benedetto Gelato. Their ingredients are truly top-notch!

Love this place!

Great place! Loved the Mascarpone/raspberry flavor
