    Nice cosy place in the middle of busy Marrickville. We tried 2 flavours coffee and coconut - both were smooth and quite flavourful. I came exactly on the dot after they opened so not too busy. We sat outside and the environment was quite nice. P.s: came back 2nd time to try their most favourite flavours raspberry yoghurt and tiramisu. OMG I loved both of them as they weren’t too sweet and hence this will not be my last!!

    This might be the best gelato in Sydney?! Just look at the consistency😍😍 (refer to the video I recorded). People have been recommending me the tiramisu gelato, which is really good, they have this soaked lady finger in coffee rum bits in it. But for me, the mvp is the panna cotta gelato. I love how sublte and mellow the taste is.

    They are the best with the quality of gelato ice creams. Some of the flavours are so unique and delicious that you can’t find the same anywhere around the city like the black sesame. Generous portions with decent prices. Quick and efficient service!

    We tried the tiramisu and panacota and they’re very creamy! Love it especially with bits of the tiramisu cake, they’re perfect.

    Good opening hours and good service. The shop itself is quite small but that doesn’t stop people from coming at all - it was quite busy when we got there and definitely seems like a popular place for the locals! It has a cute, rustic, authentic family vibe and decent prices. There is a relatively large range of flavours, and they also have special flavours that vary daily(?) The lady who was serving was very experienced, patient and careful- she knew about the different textures and softness’ of the different flavours and made sure that the scoops were in an order that would prevent them from falling off. She also made sure that each person got some of the toppings of each flavour!

    Great texture and very smooth. I like that you can get two flavours but a one scoop serving. Heaps of classic italian flavours. I got the panna cotta which was subtle. It was custardy, light but didn’t scream panna cotta. The second flavour was roasted hazelnut, owners were very generous with the nuts and definitely blitzed up real nuts in the gelato base. Will definitely come back to try the other flavours

    Popular spot. Gelato is delicious but on expensive side. The black sesame and tiramisu has a good combination punch

    Great little gelateria with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Tried the banana, watermelon, panna cotta and donatella. All very good, creamy and distinct flavours. Favourite was the donatella, really liked the toasted hazelnuts in it. Would have preferred if they could serve in eat-in cups.

    I've been coming here for many many years and Franco consistently produces the best gelato in Sydney. The quality of ingredients used is evident and the flavours are just so authentic and natural tasting. It's too hard to pick a favourite, they're honestly all so good. It's never sickeningly sweet like a lot of other gelato places. We're always greeted warmly by Franco when he takes a break from the back. Love this family business and I've recommended them to all my mates.

    Always come here - recommend getting the 1L take home container where you can choose up to 3 flavours. They make the gelato here in house and texture is nice and thick 💪 Personal favourite flavours are pannacotta, vanilla, berry yoghurt, matcha green tea and black sesame 🤞

    Cute little place… the ice cream is alright. When asked for a taste, was completely told off that they don’t do that which is really bad considering every order place allows you to taste.

  • 1/5 Kath 1 year ago on Google
    Too watery not creamy ice cream. I asked if they had hazelnut and they suggested me matcha?! Because im asian doesn’t mean i want matcha. Cant even try a spoon serving for test tasting. Ink on the cup got on to my finger very annoying please fix it! Rude customer service

    Went there on a Friday night and the place was packed. Such a quaint place, very cozy and seems to be family-run business? Sadly they don’t have a vegan dark chocolate flavour which was a pity. We ordered the dark chocolate (non vegan), panna cota and raspberry yogurt. One of my friends told me their banana flavour is the best because it is super fresh, however it was not available on the day. I am a chocolate fanatic but the dark chocolate flavour lacked depth and density. How great would there be vegan dark chocolate, pure dense chocolate heaven! That aside, we loved the ambience, everything they offered was amazing. Highly recommended!

    Adorable quaint Gelateria - we got matcha and Toblerone and it was SO GOOD (not too sweet but very flavourful!) smooth texture and great service too. Will be back for sure :)

    I liked it but my partner didn't when compared to Anita's. I really enjoyed the straciatella flavour.
