Creamy gelato from Italy: RivaReno opens in Munich!
The ice cream season in Munich couldn't get off to a more exciting start! On June 18, 2025, the traditional Italian ice cream parlor RivaReno opened its first branch in Germany - on Klenzestrasse. Known for its particularly creamy gelato, RivaReno relies on the highest quality and classic Italian recipes. The new owner, inspired by a family vacation in Florence, brought the concept to Munich after being absolutely amazed by the quality of the ice cream. One more reason for all ice cream lovers in the city to stop by - enjoyment is guaranteed here! Mercury reports on this.
But RivaReno is not the only new addition to Munich's ice cream culture. “Il Gelato Italiano” has opened at Bayerstraße 15, very close to the main train station – the fifth branch of this chain in Munich. Between Pizza Hut and C&A, the ice cream parlor offers a wide selection of around 40 flavors of ice cream. Both lovers of classic varieties such as vanilla and strawberry will get their money's worth here, as well as those who like something a little more unusual, such as the Cioccolata al Peperocino or the delicious Rocher. The completely opening window front provides direct access to the ice cream counter, and there is also seating outside on the sidewalk that invites you to linger. All of Munich has more information about this.
The trends of ice cream parlors
A lot is happening in the world of ice cream parlors, and this has also influenced consumer tastes. According to a survey by Leadersnet The best ice cream parlors in Germany for 2025 were determined based on over 100,000 votes from the community. Criteria such as variety, quality, ambience and service played a crucial role. Two special ice cream flavors this year are “Strauss,” a creative blend of raspberry and pink pepper, and “Hallelujah,” a combination of roasted hazelnut and Venezuela chocolate. The innovative strength in the ice cream parlors is also reflected in unusual creations, such as basil-lemon or goat's cream cheese-honey.
In Bavaria, some ice cream parlors made it into the top list, including La Dolce Vita, the crazy ice cream maker and Ballabeni Icecream. The local ice cream culture is increasingly placing emphasis on sustainability, with many companies relying on regional ingredients and homemade recipes. Edible spoons and compostable cups are also on the rise.
It remains exciting to see which ice cream creations and concepts will delight customers in the coming months. With new products such as RivaReno and Il Gelato Italiano, Munich is not only focusing on enjoyment, but also on a growing awareness of the environment and quality. Well then, have fun tasting ice cream!
