Bononia is a charming little dessert café. It is happy place with friendly staff, and the sparkly lights at night-time gives a fairy-tale atmosphere. A compact space, just right for pausing over an espresso or affogato with a little sweet treat on the side. Perhaps a biscotto or small cake, or some of the house-made gelati.
There are a couple of dozen gelati flavours, including dairy and non-dairy options. Star flavour is the crema antica – egg custard gelato with lemon.
Delicious gelati. I had the Bononia (house gelati which was custard based) and Cassata. Creamy and very yum. Excellent service and friendly owner. I'll be back!
This is nice, not too much sugar, good selection of flavours and all very well presented. Nice choice of gelato and other sweets. Stop on and have a great treat.
For me Bononio is the best Gelato in Adelaide!
They truly take pride in their craft which is demonstrated by the creativity in their flavours on offer.
I recently had their "Strega single-portion", which truly encapsulates the rich Strega flavour in a Gelato form. It's an acquired taste, but if you enjoy Italian liqueurs you will love this stirring rendition!
Also, have tried their signature "Bononia" flavour which is a delightful and has a unique citrus presence!
The proprietors are also nice and their passion for what they do is on show, whenever you ask for a recommendation or a description of a flavour!
I'll say it again, Bononia has the best Gelato in Adelaide; and that's not so much a comment on the competitors, as much as it is a comment on Bononia's level of quality.
Amazing! Can't wait to go back! We went here last night and got the 1 litre take home with 3 flavours and beyond happy with all three flavours. Staff were really nice and gelato was the best I've had!!
Tonight is my first visit to Bononia and what a wonderful surprise it was. I had a 2 scoop gelati in a waffle cone for only $6.00. I chose cream antica which was a deliciously rich Italian egg custard flavored gelati as well as the Porto which was a sweet, port flavored gelati made from actual port. My husband choose meringue and amaretto and they too were packed full of flavour. They also sell a Sauvignon blanc flavored gelati for those who are interested in something different. If you want rich, creamy and traditional gelati then this is the place for you. We will be back.
Love love loved this ice cream.... Amazing flavours, and lovely owner!! The tiramisu ice cream is to die for!! I'm not a beer drinker but the beer sorbet is great also. Must come back here again!!
Love their pastries! Almond croissant and torsadine are a few of my favs. So glad I could order them via Menulog for an early morning breakfast delivery. A pity you can't order their lovely tarts or cakes on the app, but I was surprised they gave me a choc tart with my order! Thank you :)
Omg! Fantastic Almond Croissant!
The best I’ve had outside Paris!!
Super excited that they will be open on Semaphore Road very soon!
Very good croissant and excellent service . Also tried the raspberry tart which was average .
You make great pastry but WHY aren’t you open on a Sunday morning when 90% of people don’t want to cook breakfast!
Lovely customer service from the girl serving, very welcoming and excellent bread. Other bakery options looked good too.
The croissants and danishes are some of the best I've had! Stayed in the area for a few nights and came back every day for breakfast - loved trying all the different flavours. Great service and well priced too :)
