Fantastic gelato...and open on Sundays, my God, how non-Swiss. The variety is vast, there are so many flavors I have to come every weekend in supper to taste them all....

My friend and I were completely caught off guard in Switzerland with everything closing at 7pm (on non Thursdays! , and with no supermarket open to buy desserts, we made our way to Gelateria Venezia instead! This place was a pain to find because it's located at the corner of a long street downhill near the shore, but it was worth the trip, especially because there aren't many other ice cream places in Nyon! I got the chili dark chocolate as are most things in Switzerland, it was pretty expensive so I only got 1 scoop. This place has no nonsense, super creamy gelato. The hint of spiciness was a great, zesty twist of flavor and added a welcome addition to the core, creamy dark chocolate. I'm actually really glad they had a flavor this unique in Europe, as I was beginning to miss the peculiarity of savory spicy sweet combos that is booming in New York. Plus, I was impressed they had dark in Switzerland, a country dominated by its more well known, sweeter milk chocolate. Also definitely helps the waffle cone was fresh and delicious, and added a welcoming texture mix!

This is a summer favorite. You most likely will have to wait in a long line that goes out the door. This is the best homemade gelato on lake leman. They also have another location in Rolle, located across from the Rolle castle. The spicy chocolate is a favorite flavor, but hard to get it. I have many other favorite flavors here as well. Their is always a new flavor to try. Definitely my favorite ice cream alternative, to Movenpick in Switzerland.
