The story
Tucked away on Via Santa Giulia in Turin, Gelateria Aria has earned a stellar 4.8-star reputation. As reviewer Secondo Luca notes, this is a trendy spot with neon lights and a cool vibe, serving excellent experimental gelato. Flavors like Caramello e Popcorn and Olio Evo hint at the creativity at work.
Yet the house’s crowning glory is the saffron gelato. Luca describes it as “incredible” with “beautiful density”—a testament to precise craft. While the menu extends beyond this single standout, the saffron alone makes a compelling case for a visit. It’s the kind of quietly confident offering that defines a great neighborhood gelateria.

Due gelaterie di Torino a confronto: una mi ha sconvolto 😱 ARIA VS PAPALELE' · @ 0:02
A trendy gelateria in Turin with neon lights and a cool vibe, serving excellent experimental gelato that I really enjoyed.
Dishes mentioned
Caramello e Popcorn
This is the most popular flavor here, and it's really good. The caramel is slightly burnt in some spots, which gives it a nice bitter edge that balances the sweetness of the gelato. It's very milky, round, and persistent. I love it.
Zafferano
This saffron flavor is incredible. It's acidic, deep, and somehow reminds me of risotto. It's a complete flavor, really really good. I love it a lot.
Olio Evo
This olive oil flavor is very nutty, like salted peanut. It's like 90% hazelnut or peanut. It reminds me of a Snickers bar. It's monstrous.
Pane Burro e Zucchero
This bread, butter, and sugar flavor is made with leftover grain fane. It's really good, very milky and round.
Caffè Santa Romero
This is a Colombian-origin coffee cream, sweet, decisive, and a bit citrusy for the interditors. It pairs very well with the caramel popcorn.
