Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream Inc.

Good selection of ice cream 🍦 with more intense flavors, friendly service, cash only since credit card option was not working. Bathroom 🚽 also out of order.

I got the mangosteeen and I would eat it all day long

Variety of gelato flavors & reasonable price

We got Durian, Soursop, and Mangosteen, and they were all amazing!

Love this ice cream spot! Our first time here and they let me try everything! We ended up getting mangosteen, pandan, and black sesame and they were all amazing.

this is such a hidden gem! it has the most amazing flavors; like guava, durian, soursop, and mangosteen. really friendly staff and a cute vibe.

Lychee flavor is my favorite!

Texture (light and airy, I know it's just air), flavors and overall taste - one of the best in Bay Area! It's smaller portions than other places but it's worth it.

Marco Polo in San Jose is a go-to spot for anyone craving bold, tropical gelato flavors. Located in Vietnam Town, the shop offers a wide range of Asian-inspired options like durian, jackfruit, pandan, and Thai tea—all made with real ingredients and a creamy texture that’s hard to beat. The staff are friendly and patient, offering samples so you can explore before choosing.

The vibe is casual and welcoming, with indoor seating and a few outdoor tables. It’s perfect for a post-lunch treat or a late-night dessert run. The prices are fair for the quality, and the variety makes it easy to find something new each visit.

First time here so I ended up sampling all the flavors on their sign except soursop. They were all tasty and I ended up getting lychee, guava, and mango. From the sample, mango was fine with the combo but it definitely fell short of the lychee and guava flavor. Durian would have been a great choice if I was going for one flavor.
If I was in the area, I wouldn't mind swing by again!

Stunning flavors. The banana is unassuming but incredible, the durian was potent without being overwhelming, and the taro was prominent.

Hidden gem of San Jose Viettown with a wide variety of exotic ice cream flavors for a reasonable price and generous portion. It’s a place I proudly bring guests from out of town to visit.

Ice cream: I usually get the small scoop which comes with 1-2 flavors for $6.55. My go to is the pandan leaf flavor with a mix of either lychee, green tea, or Thai tea. Even for picky eaters, they will have the right flavor for you.

Service: Even with only one server and a decently long line, the service was patient, quick, and efficient. They allow customers multiple samples.

Amazing gelato and great exotic flavors

I love coming here when I'm craving ice cream! The texture of the ice cream is always velvety and the flavors are incredible. My favorite are durian and red bean (although they rarely have red bean whenever I come :(). I'd also highly recommend their jackfruit and pandan.
