"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."

"Delicious gelato. My family all got different flavours and enjoyed them. I got the honey comb chocolate chip (the label cuts off at honey comb c so I’m guessing) and also dark chocolate half half in a small size (there is also a kids size but you can only pick one flavour). I 100% recommend this combo!!! The chocolate and dark chocolate both have a slight bitter taste that’s perfect paired with a sweeter gelato flavour so it’s so good with honey comb. I think it’s really nice that you can pick two flavours for the small size. The owner is very friendly. Even though you can’t sample flavours, all of them were a hit among our family. Definitely would go back."

"Loved this place on the historical Murphy St in downtown Sunnyvale. Came here right after a movie from the $AMC right across the street and we loved the flavors - cheesecake and cookies and cream was really good! No seating inside but plenty outside. $5 for a medium (3 flavors) which was honestly worth every penny."

"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!"

"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."

"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!"
