Valenti’s Gelato Artisan

Large choice, varies from week to week, delicious sorbets, delicious ice creams. Friendly service. Outside seating available. Dog friendly.

Was recommend Calstock for a walk along the river. Bit of a ghost town in the winter except for the saving grace of Valenti’s. We were dying for a coffee and he made a great one which we enjoyed on a table overlooking the river. We went for the river walk which was lovely and returned for one of the delicious ice creams again sitting out on the deck in the warm sun.

This is the best ice cream ever! I know I’ve put that in the title ... but it’s worth repeating!

We arrived at Calstock to try Valentis as it was recommend by family . We arrived early and had a coffee in a quaint coffee shop then had a walk around the village and waited from 11:00am for the shop to open but left at 11:30 as no one showed up for it to open at 11:00 am as advertised, we visited a national trust property not far away and came back in the afternoon to find it now open. We made our choice of dishes but I had to change mine as they had no bananas in the shop which was a bit annoying . I asked if I could have extra ice cream instead of the banana but was told no as it would not fit into the dish. What I ended up with was ok but I certainly would not go out of my way again when in the area to revisit .

Cannot say enough about what good quality at what great prices you can get from Valenti's. We visit every year, and always come away with a smile on the face. They offer such high quality and flavoursome ice cream, with the occasional quirky offering. Best value ice creams, in the U.K. ! Just visit and you will not be disappointed.
