Lonely Planet

"Ask Bologna residents to name the best gelateria in town, and this place often comes out on top. Fill a cone (or a focaccia sandwich!) with house-special flavours like Alice (mascarpone and chocolate) or Leonardo (pine-nut ice cream with toasted pine nuts), then head across the street and cool off under the trees."

Rough Guides

"It's impossible to find more perfectly executed, silky and richly flavoured gelato."

Departures Magazine

"Bologna’s finest ice cream, perhaps the creamiest in the world, is at Cremeria Funivia. Flavors range from classics like crema (the Italian equivalent of vanilla) to inventive alternatives like toasted pine-nut cream, ricotta and lemon, and the decadent Alice confection—mascarpone ice cream with melted chocolate at the bottom of the cone or cup."

Kathy Blake

"I assure you it was completely and wonderfully delicious. The definite winner for me was the bright pink Amarenata scoop, flavored with and colored by the local cherries. Candied nuts studded the gelato giving it an added boost."

Virginia Miller

"Gelato is one of the greatest pleasures of Italy and is excellent in countless places. But Bologna’s Cremeria Funivia is one of the best we’ve had anywhere in the country. The texture is of creamy silk."

Carey Jones

"Funivia's gelato is, without question, the best I've ever eaten."

Daryl and Mindi Hirsch

"We loved their Alice cone with mascarpone gelato and melted dark chocolate."

Missy Davies

"La Cremeria Funivia is the perfect classic gelato."

Pig Out Travels

"Cremeria Funivia is my favourite gelato spot in this Italy trip! I pretty much visited it twice each day to get my gelato fix, and I don’t even love gelato or ice cream that much. It’s that fucking good."

Clare Hazlett

"My favorite is yoghurt and raspberry, but you cannot go wrong with any of the flavors here."
