😱Lizzie’s first impression: Delicious icecream, great flavours and very smooth.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: This must be one of the longest standing icecream place on Lygon. And it deserves to be. They have so many great flavours – I’ve been here a handful of times and I don’t even think I’ve gone through half of the flavours. I usually go for cookies and cream or a nut based icecream. The sorbets are not too bad either.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: It is definitely underrated as people tend to choose the newer places like Pidapippo or Messina over this place.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: I love the consistency and the smooth textures of their icecreams.

Plenty of indoor seats here for a family to share ice cream. There was also quite a huge post-dinner crowd, which foretold me that this place is going to be a good dining experience!
There’s quite a lot of interesting flavours in this gelato place - milo, pandan coconut and durian ice cream immediately caught my eye. I found the pandan coconut tasty but had a strong coconut aftertaste which I thought might a bit too much for a full scoop.
The durian ice cream though, was the BOMB! You can really taste the actual durian essence in each teaspoon full. Overall, the ice cream here tastes a bit sweeter than the other famous gelato place along Lygon. But, credit must be given to this place for their solid durian ice cream. I’ll come back just for that!
Purchased from the pop-up stall in QV Mall 🍨
It’s simply amazing, so good 🍨 Amazing flavours, would 💯 come back.
Just an FYI, the ice cream melts so super fast as I live 2-5 mins away from the stall and by the time I reached home, it’s kinda melted (the picture says it).
One of the best ice cream places especially when you’re a huge fan of Ferrero Rocher! We visited the one in QV and there were a variety of flavours considering it was a pop-up store. The texture itself was so soft and creamy. I will definitely be going back!
Amazing selection of flavors such as ferrero rocher, baileys, lychee, other fruits flavors, even durian! The ice cream tasted delicious with great consistency as well. This place has been my favorite since the first time I visited them, I will always be back for more 💕
Quaint gelato shop in a street full of gelato stores. A nice mix of traditional and asian influenced flavours. Very friendly service. It's not trendy but it doesnt need to be. It satisfies.
Real easy way to get dessert after a filling lunch at universal!
Ordered:
🍦 1 scoop: $5.00
Review:
Il Dolce Freddo were really nice in letting us sample flavours and letting us choose the right choice for us.
The black sesame flavour was delicious. Creamy and not grainy (sometimes other places make it give the black sesame a sandy texture) and really easy to eat.
I was at QV the other night and saw that Il Dolce Freddo also have a pop up van in QV, with a smaller selection of flavours. Just in case Carlton was a bit far for you!
Overall, not bad for icecream and doesn't have crazy lines like pidapippo 😅.
perhaps, one of the best ice cream in Melbourne (seriously)
must order : thai milk tea, baileys, matcha, purple yam, ferrero, pandan, avocado
Needed this to cool my mouth down after the hellfire ramen next door. A good selection of gelato; it ain’t Messina but no complaints.
A message to all Pandan Lovers! If you love pandan, you will need to try their pandan & coconut flavour as it was amazing. The flavours were strong and it was really good.
The best gelato place! My favourite flavours were ferrero and pistachio; they were so rich and creamy and flavour-packed. The pistachio had a nice nutty flavour and there were chunks of Ferrero chocolate in the Ferrero gelato. They were open until late and you could dine in also unlike a lot of gelato places that were takeaways only.
This place is an institution for gelato if you're in the vicinity of Lygon Street. Love the range of flavours available here. The gelato is smooth and creamy, and absolutely delicious. Tried the Milo, and took away my go-to flavours of pandan and yam, and wasn't disappointed at all. The flavours are on point!
Talk about amazing service!! We walked from Brunswick St after dinner to get some Gelato.
I wanted to get Durian Gelato fm Il Dolce Freddo and Google states that they close at 10 and we should reach at 9.45 pm...
Given that information, we bypass all the other Gelato shops and made our way there..
Horrors!! The doors were closed!
Lights were on and decided to try to door but it was shut! Disappointed as it was our last night in Melbourne!
Next thing u know the owner opened the door and mentioned that they had closed early but if we know what flavour we wanted, he could get it for us....
Got my Durian and Hubby got Matcha as they were had ran out on Black Sesame.
Twice lucky in one night (if u read my other post about Ofuroya Onsen)....
Very nice selection of delicious gelato. My favourite includes the Durian, Pandan Coconut, Yam & Coconut, and Bailey's Irish Cream.
They have good gelati with asian inspired fruits/flavours, e.g. Thai milk tea, black sesame. Their durian flavour is a super popular flavour, it always gets sold out early.
Excited to try the special flavours from il dolce freddo.
We tried their half litre with black sesame and coffee, purple yam and coconut and Thai milk tea. Each flavour is unique and tastes great. Enough sweetness but not too overwhelming
Amazing selection of flavors such as ferrero rocher, baileys, lychee, other fruits flavors, even durian!
The ice cream tasted delicious with great consistency as well. This place has been my favorite since the first time I visited them, I will always be back for more 💕
One of the best gelato place that provide lots of Asian flavors, like durian, lychees, coconut, pandan. Very soft gelato, taste good. This place is quite small. Can wait in the queue for ordering. Not much tables inside the place. Some tables outside. Parking available on street.
