Bella's Gelato Shoppe & Food Truck — Restaurant in Tucson

Absolutely some of the BEST gelato in Tucson! They also offer sorbetto, vegan, diary free and kosher options! If you haven’t tried Bella’s, now is a perfect time. One of the best parts, they named their shop after their beautiful dog who is a rescue. My friend and I went in for the first time a few days ago and we are already discussing heading back. Plus, I’m hoping to treat my mom, sister and husband soon. During the heat of summer it especially hits the spot. This locally owned super fun business needs more attention from our community for sure. After we walked in we were immediately greeted by the kind and enthusiastic owner Elizabeth. She told us all about the rotating flavors, fresh ingredients, and all of the other delicious goodies like sorbettinos, root beer floats, fresh fudge, and colorful merchandise. I tried the malt and mango which was decadent! Gelato has fever calories and fat than ice cream, which is great to know. They even offer Prickly Pear Sorbetto when available! My family, friends and I are looking forward to enjoying Bella’s gelato all summer now that they have this central, brick and mortar shop. Can’t wait to sit on the patio with our dogs in tow.

Bella's, a charming local gem, goes beyond the ordinary with its delightful offerings. As a small, locally-owned business, it manages to capture the hearts of those in the know. This boutique gelato shop stands out not only for its sweet treats but also for its welcoming atmosphere.

The staff at Bella's embody sweetness, ready to assist patrons. One standout feature is their remarkable pet-friendly approach, with an array of tempting treats for our furry friends.

Despite this, the limited flavor selection, which initially left me underwhelmed, proved to be a delightful surprise with each taste. The quality of the available flavors speaks volumes about the excellence that Bella's brings to its offerings.

In essence, Bella's is a local treasure that transcends the standard gelato experience. With a friendly staff, a warm ambiance, and delightful treats for both humans and pets, it's a spot that holds its own in the local business landscape, even if the convenience of on-site...

Friendly enough staff, cute little place, but the gelato and sorbetto (aka what you come here for) is seriously lacking in flavor. The texture is off and oddly sticky, and everything tasted like icy milk with a whisper of the advertised flavor. On top of this, they limit your samples, so it’s difficult to find something you are going to be happy with if the first few samples don’t tickle your fancy.

TLDR, decent people but won’t come back when I’m craving a little treat.

Edit: to respond to the owner— I love an organic, homemade feeling, bold flavors are always good and achievable but not a requirement for something tasty. Please note, I am not opposed to an elegantly subtle taste; the difference between a delightful and refreshing treat and a flavorless and grainy snack is found in the gelato I consumed at Bella’s. It’s not the one you want a...
