Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Un descubrimiento increíble ! De los mejores helados que he probado, fue como viajar a la Sicilia, al sur de Italia. Variedad de sabores, todos hechos artesanalmente por ellos mismo, y gustos distintos que no se consiguen en cualquier heladería. Yo he tomado Noisette et Cassata ! Increíbles ambos gustos. Recomendados al 100%. Aquí les dejo un video. También hemos tomado las porciones familiares para llevar."
"une vraie glace à l'italienne, un gelato formidable. sincèrement, en termes de goût, un des meilleurs glaciers de Lyon. certes le prix n'est pas donné, mais quand c'est bien fait et délicieux, pouvons-nous nous plaindre ? non. il y a une douzaine de parfum, et pour les indécis, possibilité de goûter. en terme de goût, les glaces ont vraiment un goût de fruit. nous avons aussi pris un affogato (délicieux), rare endroit à Lyon à en proposer."
"4€ la boule, 7€ les deux boules… Alors ok c’est très bon, je suis forcé de le constater (et j’en suis ravi), mais à ce tarif là on s’attend « à minima » à avoir le pot rempli qui déborde et/ou un petit biscuit artisanal sur le dessus ou un petit « jenesaisquoi » qui fait passer la pilule. Je recommande si vous ne savez pas quoi faire de votre argent ou si vous en avez trop (on ne sait jamais), mais sinon malheureusement votre expérience sera un peu piquante (et je ne parle pas des parfums, qui encore une fois sont très bons ). Dommage car sans cela j’y serai retourné très régulièrement pendant tout l’été !"
"Incroyable ! Les meilleures glaces de tout Lyon, sans hésiter ! Ti Amo Maria, c’est bien plus qu’un simple glacier : c’est une véritable expérience gustative. Chaque parfum est une explosion de saveurs, avec des ingrédients ultra frais et un vrai savoir-faire artisanal. Mention spéciale pour le melon (juste dingue !) L’accueil est toujours chaleureux, le personnel passionné et de bon conseil. On sent que tout est fait avec amour et exigence. Que vous soyez de passage à Lyon ou que vous y viviez, c’est une adresse incontournable pour les amoureux de bonnes glaces. On y revient encore et encore… et encore !"
"MEILLEURE glace à la pistache de Lyon, j’ai pris aussi le sorbet à la fraise EXCELLENT !! Hyper généreuses les vendeuses Kiara et Inès elles sont hyper gentilles souriantes polies et donnent de très bons conseils. Je vous conseille ce glacier 10/10."
"Amazing Italian gelato with rich, authentic flavors! The creamy texture and friendly service make it a must-visit spot. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"Sans exagération, les meilleures glaces que j'ai mangé - accueil charmant, tous les parfums fait maison, et comme tout me donnait envie, je me suis laissé tenter par trois boules, et deux de plus au moment de partir ! Hâte d'y retourner pour tester de nouvelles saveurs !"
"A quality gelateria! Simply the best ice cream in Lyon. A great variety of both classic and unique flavours that are so rich and creamy yet so fresh. You can instantly tell that Ti amo Maria's ice creams are so well researched and developed with so much care and made with top-quality ingredients. The ambience in the shop was relaxed and stylish, but we chose to take our ice creams for a stroll along the river - a perfect indulgent and refreshing treat for cooling down on a sunny afternoon! Would absolutely recommend and definitely a must-try if you're visiting Lyon / Confluence. Can't wait to come back again to try more flavours!"
