Lonely Planet

"Creamy, dense chocolate, bright herbs, Madagascar vanilla or tart jungle fruit: this is Lima's best gelato, made fresh daily."

Emma-Louise Trotter

"BLU is probably my favourite gelateria in Lima and I try and visit as often as I can. The people that run the store head to Italy for research trips and it certainly pays off, as their gelato is super scrumptious."

Savoteur

"Just a few blocks from Barranco’s main plaza, Nicolás Palma and Laura Lucangeli brainstorm new flavor ideas and create soft, textured gelato without artificial colors, fake flavors or preservatives. Blu has a cozy atmosphere, with a skilled staff always ready to surprise you with a specialty creation such as Mint and Muña, sprinkled with dark chocolate pieces."

Andrew Sim

"Blu has gained quite a following - and for good reason. The gelato is decadently thick, full of rich flavours and in many cases punctuated by quality ingredients."

Alejandra Cretul

"Amazingly delicious gelato shop in the Barranco district featuring creative and super fresh flavors. They pride themselves on sourcing the freshest and most local ingredients possible for their gelato. If you are in Lima, you have to stop here."

Summer Jones

"And of course, I picked ice cream. Boy am I glad I did. I was introduced to the flavor Lucuma at Blu Il gelato del barnnio, which I became obsessed with the rest of the trip."

Elain Tsai

"We ended our day in Barranco at BLU: il gelato del barrio. The gelato here is phenomenal — Italian in style with authentic Peruvian flavors."

Marta Doz

"Blu was described as the best gelato in Peru and it lived up to expectations. We devoured scoops of chocolate with hazelnut, passion fruit and pistachio."

Christelle Bittner

"Il gelato del barrio (the gelato of the neighborhood): it’s all in the name. A mini ice cream parlor with Italian, artesian ice cream. They have passion fruit, golden berry, maracuyá, watermelon, custard apple and mint-muña. As for the creamy flavors, they´re made with an Italian batch freezer, creating the perfect consistency."

"Nothing like good ingredients to guarantee the success of any recipe. This is the case at Blu: every day gelato is made with natural milk, seasonal fruits and without additives. As in a true artisan gelateria."
