Methodology
Venues are ranked by review strength: Google rating above a 3.8 baseline, weighted by review volume (a 4.6★ with 2,000 reviews beats a 4.8★ with 60). Global fast-food and dessert franchises are excluded.
Scores and review counts on this page are computed at build time from the exact same dataset that powers the
live gelato ranking — nothing here is a separate or hand-picked figure.
