Gelateria Maracanà In Brescia

No matter where I taste ice cream, I always come back here! The tastiest and most unusual flavors are here 😻 we just love it

The ice cream is very good and there are many elaborate flavours, often new and particular. The staff is very friendly and in general it creates a nice environment even outside. However it is a bit expensive, for example the 3 flavor cone costs €3.70. The other day I bought a 3-flavor cone in an ice cream shop on the lake in Riva del Garda and it cost €3.50, and it was also at least double the size, so much so that it filled me up. Where I come from in Sicily, however, you pay €2.50 for a brioscia with three times as much ice cream. Staying in Brescia makes me feel poor. Edit: Reply to answer: The fact that in some hypertourist centers (Taormina? I can't think of anything else because Catania, Palermo, but also San Vito Lo Capo which lives exclusively on tourism, I can guarantee that they are decidedly cheaper cities than Brescia) There may be "even higher" prices, it's not a good reason to keep prices so high here. Brescia is an industrial and university city, it is not Riva del Garda nor Taormina or San Vito LC, and despite this it costs more than those cities. For comparison, in Turin I paid 1.80 for the same 3-flavor cone a few years ago, with inflation now it will be €2 or something more, almost half here and Turin is a good comparison because it is a city quite similar to Brescia , so why is everything here so expensive? I don't blame you, I know that you are more or less in line with the market and you have your reasons for keeping these prices but I can see 3 months later that, as much as I appreciated your ice cream and despite being able to come every day, from when I made this review I didn't go back to you. If you already have enough customers I'm happy for you but I'm sure you could have many more if the economy was doing better.

A very welcoming and pleasant place suitable for spending relaxing moments alone or in company. The staff is professional and does their utmost to make customers feel at ease. Although a few more smiles wouldn't hurt... They can count on a wide range of pastry, ice cream and café options. I particularly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy artisanal ice cream at high levels in terms of quality of raw materials and production processes. The result? A wide choice of flavors including classic creams and fruit but also very unusual and creative ones. The balance of the finished product and the mastery in composing cups with multiple flavors are very striking. An ensemble characterized by a skilful balance of sweetness, flavors and textures. The excellent level of creaming and the not at all cloying flavor also stand out. I couldn't find a fault with their ice cream. Only note: given the very good substance, since even the eye, as they say, wants its part, it's a shame that the appearance isn't up to par. In my opinion the presentation remains a little too anonymous and completely lacks the "wow" effect. I'll let the image speak for itself, but the banana split cup looked like it came straight out of an ice cream parlor from the 1980s. Here, time seems to have stopped... Personally, however, I found the chocolate tart a little subdued, a subjective taste, I repeat. first of all a little too crumbly, almost biscuity. The shortcrust pastry was so crumbly that it tended to pulverize rather than crumble when hit with a fork. I also found the chocolate cream to be uninteresting in taste and unsurprising in consistency: it was very thick and not at all creamy. I would have been curious to try other cakes or semifreddo desserts which, in the window, looked very tempting. As far as prices are concerned, I believe that the coffee shop section is in line, or rather, slightly less expensive, compared to the market. The ice cream shop also offers takeaway ice cream. The special cups served at the tables are slightly above the prices I usually get. Overall I would return to Maracanà to try other options from the ice cream shop.

Gelato molto buono fresco e con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Un consiglio per le commesse e la propietaria un sorriso in più non guasta mai a volte risultate annoiate e arrabbiate il proprietario invece gentile e disponibile. Da provare

Amazing ice cream with chestnut flavour....

Best ice cream shop in Brescia hands down. Exceptional flavours, great variety between classic and particular flavours, polite and professional staff. Highly recommended, must try.

Everything was perfect, the place was clean and well kept, the ice cream was excellent and the thing that made everything better was the courtesy of the staff.

Very pleasant discovery! Exceptional bar with excellent breakfast, coffee and croissants at the top, but I would return just for the smile of the staff who are really pleasant, thanks to Mrs Federica who served us, we will definitely be back.

Excellent ice cream quality but you are disappointed by the quantity.

Excellent ice cream with good cold retention, variety of flavors both water and milk based. Average prices for the city but in my experience the ice cream was offered to me by my friend Fabio 😋
