    Now I know why so many people like it. Pistashio was salty but great. Mango was devine. The tosted almonds were perfect. Only advice is not to process the pecans to a powder. Small bits will give much better flavour. Service and presantation were simply perfect. Nice and clean inside and out. Has a bathroom too. I will be back to try other flavours. Thank you.

    Great ice cream! I really enjoyed the black vanilla flavor, plus the little cones filled with liquid chocolate they place on top of the ice creams are to die for 🤩 Highly recommended!

    I came to this shop because of its slogan “80% gelato, 20% chocolate”. Even though I don’t like the concept of vegans, I chose the vegan Ivory Coast extra dark chocolate gelato instead of the Vietnam dark chocolate gelato because the former is 5% darker. I usually eat 100% dark chocolate, so personally, the 69% extra dark gelato tastes like some not-too-sweet milk chocolate. It still has a more sophisticated taste can many other chocolate ice cream I’ve had. The coffee one is not as strong as an espresso-flavored one would be, but tastes like Israeli ice coffee in a nice way and the hint of chocolate distinguishes it from my first scoop. The crushed almonds add layers to the silky and sticky ice cream. Overall, I would recommend flavors both flavors. They are not too big, not too sweet, and not too heavy. Perhaps I’ll give other flavors a try as well. Service can be a little confusing due to the crowd and long working hours..

    Flavors become too sophisticated and ultimately nor testy. The ice cream is concealed so that you cannot see what you get and how it is stored. I would expect a better service.

    We found Otello by accident walking on Dizengoff. We enjoyed the ice cream so much we came back every night we could. We usually got the 2 scoop big cup for 26 shekels each. Service has always been great because they have 4 counter people always. Even when a mad rush of people come in. I tried many flavors but my favorite was Stracciatella (chocolate chip ).

    For me, across Tel Aviv’s chain ice cream parlors, it’s the best one. The flavors are unique indeed. For instance, my favorite is “fox grapes,” black grapes flavored with an extraordinary color, perfectly matching with lemon and pistachio sorbet. Cones are also remarkably crunchy and thick, dipped in dark chocolate, and sprinkled with pistachios. A handsome staff strikes the eye not only with cuteness but with cleanliness and neatness maintenance, i.e., literally every droplet spilled gets wiped out on the fly.

    Great selection of ice cream, I tried salted caramel and mango. Both tastes were delicious and very tasty and full of Flavour. There’s quite a crowd coming there, but the service is quick.

    Yum, yum, yum! This place had to be one of the best gelato places I've been to. I loved it so much, I went twice over two days! I tried the white strawberry, binoffe (my favourite), raspberry mascarpone (also amazing) and pistachio. They also let you try different flavours. Lines can be long usually after dinner time but it's definitely worth the wait. Cannot recommend this place enough.

    This is by far the best ice cream ever in Israel. We live Italian gelato the best and this ice cream in Tel Aviv rates just as high. Fabulous selection of flavors and cones filled with hot fudge. Just yum.

    Amazing ice creams! Great texture, not too sweet, very good cones! Good variety of flavors with some different and unique

  • 4/5 Lior M. 1 year ago on Google
    You can always trust Otello to deliver good ice cream. This branch is no different, except for one thing. They don't have all three liquid chocolate as a topping, they only have milk and white, are missing the dark one, which is a shame.

  • 5/5 Jess T. 5 years ago on Google
    Super delicious! Tried the coffee, almond and chocolate gelato, as well as the pineapple brulee. Love the idea of having kid's cones and baby cones! The chocolate coating of the cone (inside) makes it an extra special treat, love the design and concept of the store.

    Just a great busy place. The artisan ice cream is tasty and well served. Mention apart, Ido, a very courteous staff member. Congratulations Otello!

  • 5/5 Lucas L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good taste and price. I strongly recommend it.

  • 4/5 Ido B. 1 year ago on Google
    I find it hard to differentiate between the various new style Tel-Aviv ice-cream shops. They all offer decent quality ice cream, with names and compositions that are almost identical. So this one is no different. Good. Not inspiring. Not their fault.... Will give them a mark of distinction for the yogurt. Hence 4 stars... Maybe... There would be a new one...

  • 5/5 Aliza R. 1 year ago on Google
    For once, vegan options that are not only amazing but different than the usual fruit sorbet/lotus (although they have lotus and I’m sure it’s great) - personal favorite is definitely the coffee (drool) followed closely by salted Oreo. Yum!!!!!

  • 4/5 Igor K. 2 years ago on Google
    Boutique chocolate, excellent milkshakes, refreshing variety of ice cream flavors? If you want any of that, then look no further.

  • 4/5 Yoav I. 2 years ago on Google
    Was too sweet for gelato but otherwise lovely. Interesting flavors, very good service, good ice cream. Was on the more expensive side, not sure how justified that price is.

  • 5/5 Mark F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing ice cream in delicious flavors. Clean, bright, and super convenient location on Dizingoff.

  • 5/5 Bar O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place near all the bars at Dizingof street I went there and took the coffee almonds flavor and it was amazing 🤩

  • 5/5 Ilan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good vegan options, friendly service

  • 5/5 Lior R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite gelato parlors, everytime I go there there are new flavors and they're all spot on. This time I tried the "pure pistachio" and it's SO good! My girlfriend tried the Lotus flavor which turned out to be vegan, I would never have guessed because it was just amazing.

👍👍 That was a reallyyyy nice surprise! Truly great - tasted multiple flavors - amarena, lemon with cardamon and donna cake were the ones that stayed more with me! Medium with 3 flavors is plenty for anyone. Just go and give it a try for yourself!

😐 Nice and very promising idea, but very cheap stuff used which makes the cookie ice cream not so tasty. And very expensive, like 21-26 shekels per piece.

👍 Splendid service, awesome pizzas (took the Truffle and the Sicilian), good wine selection whilst the wine was paired with the food we ordered, which was on the spot. In short, delicious food and splendid service. It's a keeper. Update: Came in today, sat down at the bar and found myself waiting for...
