    Situated in the heart of Galle, Isle of gelato is a must visit when you are in Galle. Evening times are the best to experience the view of the street from it’s balcony. The place is very spacious. Exceptional taste in Flavors. A fantastic place if you are with your partner, to have a long conversation.

    While visiting the galle fort, we wanted to taste some authentic ice creams so we went to this shop in the peddlers street. Such a nice place with a cool vibes. Staff is really attentive and the flavors are so good. My personal favorite is the passion fruit one and there are so many good varieties to be tasted. Highly recommend this place.

    A famous gelato place in the old town of Galle. It is pretty famous and it was also crowded when we went there in the afternoon. I liked the ice cream and the staff were nice. Also has a nice swing for pictures and a small seating place outside to people watch while eating your ice cream

    We went to get an ice cream to escape the heat. We were delighted that there were vegan and dairy free flavours and the lychee sorbet was delicious. There were 4 sorbets to choose from and the servings were quite a good size. The cafe was very clean and cool and the ice cream prices were reasonable

    One of the best ice-cream spots I've ever come across. I tried their 'Puttalam Sea Salt and Caramel Gelato' and it was fantastic. They offer an astonishing variety of flavors and you can opt for single or double scoops in a cone or a cup. If you can't make up your mind (which is quite understandable with so many tempting options), just ask for samples. The upstairs seating area is beautifully designed and they even have clean washrooms. While it's a bit pricey, the taste is worth it!

    Excellent ice cream. Cute Pinterest style decor. Sorbets are excellent and favours like the chocolate brownie and salted caramel have chunks in them. Nice atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Shyam F. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice and cozy place, with soft inviting interior. A nice array of flavors of ice creams and sorbet. Portions are generous. The place to go to when you are tired of walking down the narrow streets of Galle Fort and done your window shopping! Try Salted Caramel and Passion Fruit sorbet. Wish the staff paid more attention to the unclean, wet washroom, which was unusable.

  • 5/5 Harsha 10 months ago on Google
    Clean, nice and cozy place to have a ice cream (Gelato) around Galle Fort. Taste was delicious. Many varieties to choose. There are two tables arranged outside as well. Friendly service. One small suggestion guys. There are 2-3 motor bike stops all the time just in front of the place. If you sitting and having Gelato outside it’s very distracting to the view

  • 5/5 Lasith J. 1 year ago on Google
    It has a good variety of ice cream. You can either get them in to a corn or a cup. Inside the shop is very attractive and clean. According to my point of view the price is bit high. But when considering about the location, interior, taste like factors it adds value to what you have spent. As a suggestion, the business can be expanded with some other variants of ice cream such as Ice Cream rolls etc. I wish all the best for the business.

    This was one of the best Ice cream resturant I went. There are so many varieties and the very friendly staff letting me to taste almost all of them before I placed my order(Its very helpful to select which best for your taste.) Taste is exceptional and presentation is also really eye-catching. The place also provides an ideal backdrop to take photos as you preferred.

    The ice cream is great! Even though one scoop of ice cream costs 550RP, it's the best ice cream not only on this island.

  • 5/5 Shehan S. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best Gelato places in Sri Lanka. A cute little place inside Galle fort. Hot spot for tourists who’s travelling down south of the island. Plenty of flavours to choose from. Some traditional ones and some not so much. They had some interesting flavour which I couldn’t try unfortunately. The one I got was the chocolate brownie flavour which was absolutely amazing. Not much of parking space but Galle fort has a lot of foot traffic. Really good experience at the store. Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Peckish M. 1 year ago on Google
    My go-to place for ice cream when in Galle. Absolutely love their passion fruit sorbet, salted caramel and pistachio ice creams. However they seem to be out of waffle cones since of late. The ice creams don’t seem to be the same without the waffle cones. I hope they bring them back

  • 5/5 Abiseban P. 3 years ago on Google
    Awsome ice creams.

  • 5/5 Sudeepa H. 1 year ago on Google
    A bucket-list place when in Galle. The ice cream is so good with many options to choose from and you can of course do sample testing before buying. The cafe has a elegant vibe to it. There is a swing to take pictures and they also have outdoor seating. The price you pay is definitely worth it. We paid Rs 800 for a small cone.

  • 5/5 C B. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious ice cream, but prices are pretty high and the system with their different price ranges are a bit weird if you mix these. Didn’t get how it works then. However still worth it if you miss some European gelato!

  • 4/5 Navodya C. 2 years ago on Google
    They have several flavours and we both loved the once we had. They allow you to taste a small sample before you buy which is good. Their customer service was also good and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

  • 4/5 Lolitha W. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has been a must visit for most people at Galle Dutch fort. There’s always a bit of a hassle with parking but the gelato is worth it. They have the 1st floor open for customers as well now. Service was quick and efficient and clean. Instagram friendly swing with a backdrop available in the cafe. Wasn’t too crowded when we visited. Multiple varieties and flavors of gelato available to pick and chose from.

  • 5/5 Lawrence M. 9 months ago on Google
    Must visit gelato. There are a lot of ice-cream and gelato shops in Galle, but this is the one to go to! Incredible flavours made from delicious ingredients. Great range of flavours and many sorbet options (but not too many to make decisions difficult). Reasonably priced (compared to Australian gelato), and well worth every rupee.

  • 4/5 KHAI BIN C. 4 years ago on Google

    On a warm a Saturday after a pure taste of Galle nothing is better for you than the gorgeous taste of gelato. It was good and the staff were extremely friendly.However it was quite on the pricey side and I was disappointed to see the staff walking barefoot in the shop.

    Really nice place with super good Italian ice cream. I’d add more fruity flavors but in general there’s nothing to complain about:) our gelati were very very tasty!

  • 5/5 Adrian 4 years ago on Google
    This was so good, we’ve actually thought whether ice cream after breakfast would be a thing! Perhaps a little steep on price, but well worth the quality of the ice cream.

  • 5/5 Chelsea P. 4 years ago on Google
    Undoubtedly the best ice cream in all of Sri Lanka! My personal fave is a cone with a scoop of chocolate brownie and a scoop of passion fruit. Yum! Definitely a must stop once you work up a sweat shopping around the Galle Fort!

  • 4/5 D I. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty stuff (considering this isn't Italy).

  • 5/5 Elizaveta V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty ice cream! Better can be only in Milan. It can seem expensive for some people, but I think it deserves its money. And the air conditioning is an attractive thing too.

  • 5/5 Kanchana G. 4 years ago on Google
    This is the one of place you must visit at galle fort to have yummy ice cream. I have tasted few flavours and I can recommend all the flavours are super delicious. Actually one scope is enough for normal ice cream lover eventhough it cost Rs.450. Staff was really patience and allow us to select the best choice from various flavours.

    The best quality ice cream I have ever had in my life. Thanks to the special person who always introduce me to food paradises, @kavi_alahakoon. The creaminess of the ice cream just soothes your taste buds and highly recommended. A must visit place in Galle.

👍 The place is in galleface fort overlooking the ocean. If you like to enjoy the sea breeze while having your meals I would say that this is a great place to be. Gets easily crowded and therefore would recommend to go at a odd time than the usual lunch dinner times. Reasonably good food but personally...
