All the stars are for the ricotta gelato, the most gorgeous flavour I've eaten. Great place to drop in after dinner for a yummy gelato 👍🏼 Only trouble is they don't take EFTPOS
One of my absolute favourite places to grab some gelato, Casa Del Gelato has the most delicious range of flavours and the creamiest gelato around. The flavours are more traditional, but they are exceptional quality and very authentic, and not artificial at all.
The store itself is quite retro, and is very comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are so sweet, and happy to offer suggestions. We tried an eggnog gelato and also passion fruit. They were both completely opposite as far as flavours go, but the combination worked really well. The passion fruit is the best version of this flavour that I have ever had, and the eggnog tasted nice and boozy. With a plethora of gelato shops on Lygon Street, Casa Del Gelato stands out for it's traditional style and amazing flavours.
It was a really hot day when we went--perfect gelato weather! This is a small little sop just next to 7-11. The shop's really nice, with a bright and playful feel to it. The aircon was so cool (so important on a hot day! hehe).
We got a mix of watermelon, caramel, and ricotta gelato. The ricotta was AMAZING, but we weren't quite fond of the watermelon flavor. This is definitely a great place to go to for some Italian gelato on Lygon St.
One of the few traditional gelato places around with so many vegan flavours. But that's not the only perk - all the vegan options are refined sugar free (sweetened with fructose) AND the serves are massive. For just $7, you can get a large "single scoop" which includes up to three flavours. Pistachio, bacio and cookie is a great combo.
I swear this place has been open since the dawn of time.
There are a lot of flavours. I got a small which is 3 flavours for $6. Great dairy free options and honestly I couldn't really tell the difference. Sure it's not 'hip or trendy' but it sure will satisfy. If you can't find a flavour that you'll enjoy then stay home. An institution that must be protected at all costs. I hope this place stays open forever.
One of the best ice-cream places I have been to!! Its popularity was evident as their was a long line and the place was full. The flavour choice is like no other as they have many authentic flavour combos that sounds delicious. They also have great prices as you can get a cone with 3 flavours for $6 which is totally worth it.
I can't honestly say how many times I've been here... a lot! They serve gelato and ice cream in cups, cones and waffle cones and take away containers too. There are so many flavours to choose from and you will find one that suits your mood. I love my amerena (sour cherry) and chocolate, it's my go to on a warm night. I have never had a bad ice cream served to me although the services can be a little cold at times, but the queues can be long and the customers slow to make their selections. Give the shop a try, the calories will love you!
Loooove the vegan choc hazelnut and pistachio gelato here. Also like that they're sugar free. They have a good amount of flavours but would always love to see more haha. I wanted to try the cookies n cream but they use oreos which contain palm oil which to me isn't vegan, I wish they made their own cookie for it instead.
This gelato store is a local gem. I always come back for the ricotta cheese gelato which does not sound as gross as it sounds. I always get the usual cringe but when my friends try it they fall in love. Only downfall is that the ice cream melts so easily!! So be quick to lick it all up
A nice little gelato join along Lygon St. Great selection of gelato flavours, including fruits, nuts and your chocolate mixes. Lychee is a must try!
Note that they only take cash, and it might be a bit pricier than others, but the great flavours make it worthwhile
Lygon street Carlton. The place to eat, greet and enjoy beautiful gelato. The flavours change regularly. Fresh, no ice burn and they cater for every age. Take home packs and birthday cakes available, they gave the cutest children's cups that are re-usable. Not just a "Summer's treat".
The BEST dairy free gelato … EVER!! Generous serving sizes and DELICIOUS flavours!
Good quality gelato.
I had
Chocolate : basic and delicious
Eggnog: unique but my favourite
Passionfruit: cuts through the flavour and had a good amount of passionfruit seeds.
I also tasted
Custard: also a new favourite
Jasmine: too fragrant I wouldn't recommend
Soy chocolate : good but not as good as the traditional dairy chocolate
Overall a good experience and would go again.
Remember the scene in Ratatouille, where the reviewer bites into the meal and is transported back into his childhood?
That was me. I took one taste of the ‘kiss’ flavour, and suddenly I was 7 again, enjoying dunkaroos on the school playground.
I’ll be back here again.
Lots of variety to suit different people and their taste buds! Although the gelatos itself is okay especially when you compare it to other Melbourne institutions. I would give a 3.5 out of 5.
Fantastic - without a doubt, the BEST gelato in Australia... so many amazing flavours. So inexpensive!
Staff are fantastic, too - always welcoming.
Great range of flavours, great value, delicious gelato. Staff was sweet too. No complaints
