Tucked deep in the Santa Croce neighborhood, this gelateria is worth seeking out for its delicious handmade creations, which come in such unusual flavors as ginger and celery, as well as the creamiest pistachio, chocolate and banana you will taste in Venice. The ice cream is totally seasonal and prepared with the best ingredients, as will tell you  the (aptly named) owner Carlo Pistacchi, who is passionate and knowledgeable about his craft.
