Bacio di Latte | Santa Monica, LA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 — our absolute favorite gelato spot in Santa Monica! 🍦 We spent two weeks on vacation here and ended up coming to Bacio di Latte almost every day. We tried so many different flavors, and honestly, every single one was incredible. The gelato is unbelievably creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of quality and passion. My personal favorite was the Pistachio Chocolate Crunch. The combination of rich pistachio, dark chocolate pieces, and the crunchy texture was absolutely amazing — one of the best gelato flavors I have ever had. The portions are generous, the homemade waffle cones are delicious, and you can also enjoy your gelato with toppings like Nutella, pistachios, and nuts, which makes the experience even better. A big plus is that they let you try up to five flavors before choosing — and this is something that is not always offered, especially when there is a long line. Even when they are busy, the staff is always friendly, patient, and welcoming. They never make you feel rushed and genuinely want you to find your perfect flavor. We also visited their Beverly Hills location, and the quality was just as amazing there. Highly recommend Bacio di Latte — d

So many flavors, so little time! These guys were super friendly, and the interior was classic happy ice cream parlor with luxury colors and accents. I would have loved to sit there and eat my gelato but the family was leaning toward getting back to the car and homeward bound. I got the Belgian Chocolate and some raspberry concoction. Although it left raspberry seeds between my teeth, I always love the flavor contrast between the sweet chocolate and the tart raspberry. This joint did not disappoint. Full disclosure, I’ve been to other Bacio di Lattes, and this was the same. Great flavor, high price->satisfied customer.

Love this place! The interior is cute, clean, and bright. They have many different flavours available, and the good thing is you can get multiple flavours in one cup. The cup size looks pretty small at first, but it’s actually a good portion. Highly recommend if you’re craving good gelato!

If happiness had a temperature, it would be served slightly melting in a paper cup here. Bright, clean, and effortlessly aesthetic, this spot feels like a little Italian daydream tucked into Santa Monica. The gelato itself? Silky, rich, and dangerously easy to finish before you’ve even processed your first bite. The strawberry had that real-fruit freshness, not the fake candy vibe, and the pistachio leaned earthy and smooth instead of overly sweet. Portions are generous, textures are chef’s kiss, and the wooden spoon somehow makes it feel fancier than it has any right to be. Only warning: you will think “I’ll just try a few bites” and suddenly the cup is empty and you’re contemplating a second round.

Oh, I had the most incredible gelato experience ever here! 🍦 The pistachio and hazelnut flavored cone/cup wad absolutely divine. The syaff let us try as many samples as we wanted and they were attentive and super kind. I highly recommend trying the three-flavor option; it's the perfect way to sample more of their delicious creations. It truly felt like a little taste of Italy right here! 🇮🇹 I'm already dreaming about my next visit and wishing we had a location closer to home in Pennsylvania. If you're ever in the mood for a truly exceptional treat, this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed by their amazing flavors! It’s definitely a must-try for any gelato lover. Until next time! ✨
