What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ferruccio Soppelsa is celebrated for its creative and traditional Italian gelato, with many praising the unique vino-inspired flavors and generous serving sizes. While the quality of the ice cream is consistently praised, some find the interior space to be small and uncomfortable, and service can occasionally be inconsistent.
"We had a great time here and the owner was very kind. He used his ice cream artistry to present beautiful looking and tasting ice creams. Our tour guide recommended this place as the best ice creamery in Mendoza. They have some unique flavours like Sauv Blanc, Malbec, olive oil etc"
Bruce Stevens
"Went here today on a trip from Miami. The ice cream was great, and the serving sizes are FANTASTIC. They have a place to enjoy your ice cream inside or you can enjoy it outside. The waiter and the server were super helpful and friendly. You could enjoy the view of the city of cars and people passing while you enjoy your ice cream. Along with Ice Cream, you also have coffee and hot chocolate if you wish. Also, the place is super clean and there are a bunch of ice cream flavors to pick from."
Franco Petitfour
