We were there for a bachelorette party and he was an absolute blast. Pretty sure we are three cups of gelato in samples before we even bought something. He even had sponsored a local girl scout troop and had a girl scout cookie flavored gelato. So good. Go for the amazing gelato but more importantly go for the experience! read less - 3/03/2019

A friend brought out to this little gelato gem while at the end of our Tucson vacation. I was disappointed the we didn't visit this place on our first night here because I would have gone there every day. This is not a fancy place but it is clean, comfortable and they even take the time to put fresh flowers on the table. The gelato is creamy, refreshing and true to the named flavors...simply phenomenal. I would have to say though, the true stars of this place are the people that work there. Don, who was our gelato flavor creator, was excited to let us taste every flavor and suggested flavor combinations. It was obvious that he takes great pride in what he does. Tatiana was always there to help out with a smile. I hope the owners know what a true asset they have with these employees. This was a great find and I will definitely be back. read less - 1/20/2019

I had the cookies and cream, which was delicious!! Highly recommend! read less - 7/08/2018

The setting is ultra-clean and but only moderately attractive, the service is friendly and informative, but what makes the trip to Blue Ice Gelato worth the trouble is the product. The gelato and sorbets here are marked by flavors that are Intense (for example, the mixed berry sorbet) and often complex (as in the fresh-mint and chocolate stracciatella). The creaminess and texture of the gelatos and sorbets works perfectly with the flavors to make eating them a huge treat. It's more than worth the trip. read less - 1/28/2018

Others places are very good but Blue Ice is the closest we've found to some of our favorite flavors from Italy. The cheesecake tasted just like what I had in Florence. The cookie butter and gingerbread are other family favorites. They are super nice there and will let you try as many flavors as you want. We went back a few days later with my Italian father in law and he approved as well. Can't wait to go back! read less - 11/28/2018

Christopher was very helpful,and friendly,knew about the ingredients, provided samples of all the ones we wanted to try. Hard to make a choice since all were yummy. I was able to get a medium size with three flavors of the ones that I liked the most. I had lemon lime, coconut, and butterscotch caramel amazingly yummy! Will be back next year when we are in Tucson again. read less

The flavors are intense and higher quality ingredients can be discerned. We will drive past other places to go there. Fresh!
