Loved Ice cream here. They have really good varieties and prices are so right. Yes that's why I gave 5 Star. Being in just middle of Murphy's Ave and selling in this rate with so much of varieties... incredible. Small cup you will get two flavors. Medium cup you get three varieties & Large 4 varieties. There is an extra large option also available. They have seating of 10 people capacity outside the Ice cream parlor.

A wonderful little shop in historic Sunnyvale with plenty of delicious flavors that are all hand-crafted. I cannot begin to stress how flavorful each bite was and how packed even a "small" was. Definitely well-worth the price. The shopkeeper was very kind and patient as we selected our flavors and helped to explain what was in each one. I would highly recommend the tiramisu, but their lychee is also very good. Probably not ideal to have them together, but separately they're both delicious!

Gelateria Bella Roma is the real deal—authentic, Italian-owned, and serving up fresh, handcrafted gelato made daily. Every flavor we tried was absolutely bursting with flavor and felt like a true labor of love. The red orange was so popular it was nearly gone by early afternoon (and for good reason). We also had Butterfinger and pink guava, and WOW—each one was rich, smooth, and seriously memorable. We enjoyed our treats outside at clean, well-kept tables, which made the experience even better. It was the perfect sweet finish to a beautiful day. Can’t wait to come back!

06.14.25 Right in downtown Sunnyvale. Delicious Italian gelatos, tastes authentic, and lovely young men working here! Dark chocolate gelato was rated excellent, as were the Pistachio and English Toffee. Pistachio was the all time winner flavorwise of the 3.

There are many flavors. Butterscotch was fun. The guava did not really taste like the fruit. The flavors I thought would be exotic: stracciatela and gianduyo were more like chocolate chip and hazelnut with chocolate. It was fine.

The overall service was very good. We had two mediums for $7 each. They allow 3 flavors in a medium cup. Recommended flavors by me are Pistachio, Tiramisu and Oreo. The seating arrangement is outside the shop.
