Came here for a late night sweet tooth craving. When you enter Vietnam Town, it is towards the right side that is closer to Grand Century. Marco Polo offers a variety of Asian flavored gelatos like Black Sesame and Thai. Love the rich consistency.

delicious. unfortunately they ran out of both taro and red bean which i guess shows how good they are. i got the pandan and longjing green tea which were magical together. shout out to the worker for letting me sample the whole menu almost. the durian flavor was surprisingly accurate

The ice cream was delicious it didn’t taste artificial and it was really creamy.
Ice cream!!! A couple flavors we always go for: - Durian - Soursop - Mangosteen Thank you to June for letting us try some flavors before getting some scoops even though it was a little busy. June was so nice and helpful. We're definitely coming back for more ice cream!

Favorite Italian gelato place - they have the best flavors and great staff! Plenty of parking and seating too.

This place has the most amazing ice cream! This has got to be one of my top two ice cream spots now. My family and I came here on a Saturday afternoon and the parking lot was a mess and so difficult to find parking...so just be aware of that. But the store itself was easy to find and actually quite spacious inside with some tables. They had so many ice cream flavors to choose from but the day we went they had run out of red bean and taro. We ended up going for green tea (green tea flavor wasn't as strong as some other place's), sesame (the nutty taste was super strong), mangosteen (lovely sweet flavor that tasted tropical), and guava (our favorite!) I like that their ice cream is super smooth and creamy but is not totally sweet, and they have really cool flavors you don't typically see. There are definitely some other flavors I'd like to try next time such as red bean, lychee, mango, soursop, and taro.

I love the exotic flavors and nothing tastes artificial. I'm a big fan of durian so I got that along with jackfruit because it's such a unique flavor. This spot didn't disappoint! There were pieces of durian in it. I like how velvety the textures were. I also had a taste of the Thai tea, my second fave. It was a chill place to hang out for desserts. Service was friendly. Free samples were given and the server was very helpful. indoors seating can be limited since it's a relatively small shop.

Tidy and well-kept small ice cream shop in San Jose's Vietnam Town market impressed us. We opted for the lychee flavor, everyone enjoyed its balanced sweetness - not too overwhelming, just right. Service was great.
This was one of my favorite ice cream spots in SF so I was shocked when I walked by it while in the area. Obviously I had to get some since I didn't realize it would be here, and there wasn't a busy crowd on a Monday afternoon. My favorites were the black sesame and taro, but they unfortunately didn't have the taro today. I sampled a few of their other flavors but none seemed to hit the same, so ended up settling for my go-to mint chocolate chip. The sesame was great, strong nutty flavor and so yummy. The mint was good but the texture wasn't my favorite - it was really runny and melted quickly. I also tried some of my friend's guava and soursop flavors which I actually thought were quite good. Maybe their fruit flavors are better. A good quick desert fix for sure though!

False Advertising. Nothing about this place is Italian. Looked dirty and the staff uncaring . . .did not bother.

Fast and polite service, worker was so nice to ask us if we wanted samples! Ordered mangosteen, soursop, and durian, all delicious.

Love their durian and black sesame ice cream! They are always friendly and helpful when I walk in and offer samples as well. They even have a coffee and Hennessy flavor along with exotic Asian fruit flavors like jackfruit and mangosteen.
