"This is an edit of my previous review. I think there was originally some confusion with the staff over whether honey was vegan and the chocolate flavour used honey as the sweetener, but a steady stream of Leicester vegans made a difference and they changed the recipe! Now there always seems to be one vegan chocolate sorbetto, and sometimes chocolate orange or some other variant. At the moment they're also serving a coconut flavour which is very creamy and a good foil to the other, more intense flavours, but since the flavours change regularly I don't know how long that will stay a fixture in the cabinet. Other than that, the fruit flavours are very good. I've tried strawberry, melon blueberry, kibana (kiwi banana), mixed red berry, fig, pineapple, blood orange, tangerine, er... I forget the others! The things that stopped me giving this place a 5 score were that it's not entirely vegetarian I was told the glaze on one of the cakes is gelatine, so veggies beware. They have now started labelling the vegan options but the sorbets and ice cream are next to each other so although each one has it's own scoop it might not be the best choice for those with a dairy allergy in terms of cross contamination."

I dream of the golden milk curcuma and milk gelato! the banane is also great! friendly staff also just make sure not to eat to get the wafer when they are vegan, as contains milk!

Daily changing flavours. Wall menu clearly has vegan flavours labelled including all sorbets and an amazing dark chocolate flavour. You can have several flavours as part of the one price. Queue is out the door most days

I was really impressed to discover that these guys have vegan options, including chocolate sorbet which is so thick you'd think it's ice cream. They also make vegan pancakes, and have a range of other sorbets if you're not a chocaholic like me.

I always come here with my friends in summer. it is fantastic authentic. the menu is regularly updated as they use seasonal, local ingredients and there is a large selection of vegan sorpettos. this year they have even introduced vegan geo-lilies! the atmosphere is amazing, but it can do quite a lot due to its local popularity. they also make dark chocolate Easter. updated from previous review on 2017-11-25

Che bella gelateria!! I am now a superfan of the place and visit it every week even though I do not live in Leicester. Absolutely top quality products with the freshest and smoothest and flavoursome sorbetti. There are usually at least 2 vegan options. You will not want to get back to regular shop-bought sorbets after tasting theirs. Italian recipes with an Italian feel . The conistas (staff behind counter) know their products really well and are really friendly, welcoming and patient .
