Gelatorino

Yeah, it’s that good. Trusted the other reviews, as we happened to be in the neighborhood, and the Gelato didn’t disappoint. The store is clean, and the staff friendly.

I have the nougat ice-​cream and I think it’s one of the best flavours I’ve ever had i would highly recommend it. It had crunchy nuts chew bits and was very creams, delightful! My bf had the cookie sandwich he liked it but I thought it was dry and a bit messy. For a hot day it was just what what I needed.

Whenever I go to Italy, I have gelato at least twice a day. It’s a weakness of mine, I admit. Gelatorino is a cut above your average café. For starters, on stepping inside, one is greeted, not with the aroma of coffee, but of chocolate. There’s some kind of tap which runs melted chocolate, Willy Wonka style.
And the ice cream… It’s the best gelato I’ve eaten outside of Italy, and let me tell you, I’ve sampled a lot. The range of flavours is not extensive, but there’s a decent variety of the classics, and a few specials. Me? I always get the hazelnut and the pistachio, as I never get those at my supermarket.
You can tell that the people making the gelato are artisans who care about the quality of their product. It’s flavourful, rich, creamy and with no chemical aftertaste or fatty deposit on the tongue. Unlike a more popular ice cream store (whose products are widely available in the shops), Gelatorino’s friendly employees offer a fast, efficient service, so the ice cream is delivered at the right temperature.
So if it’s that great, why not five stars? Sometimes I’ve ordered other items on the menu, such as hot chocolate, crepes, etc. Although nice enough, the other dishes don’t quite meet the same superlative standard of the gelato. But then, very few cafes in London would.

Astonishing. I did not review this place yet. Simply astonishing.
Ok I’ll give you an idea of how good this place is: my lady prohibited me to get here otherwise she would be too jealous about the idea of me having one more ice cream from Gelatorino with respect to her? Is it enough?
London seriously lacks on the ice cream panorama: I mean there are a couple of bad chains (I’m looking at you, Haagen Dasz and Amorino), another pretty good gelateria (Gelupo) but other than that… well. frankly speaking other ice cream shops are mainly suffering from two of the common issues with ice cream, lack of flavors and heavy ice cream, transforming what it should be a wonderful snack to a heavy unpleasant experience.
But here, oh no sir, not here! The ice cream is as delicious as you can conceive: basic flavors (fiordilatte, chocolate, hazelnuts and so on) are extremely tasteful, and the ice cream is rich without being too fat, at the right temperature (not frozen) and with a perfect texture. An ice cream to die for.
First timers, try Fiordilatte: I know it seems odd to go for such a basic flavor but believe me, your first time will be amazing! [And now my lady will be angry at me because the more people have that ice cream the less probability she has to find it!!]

The amareno gelato was beautiful, but I was having a hard time deciding, so I ended up going with a milkshake that included 2 flavours. Sadly this fully diluted the quality of the product and it was a very thin concoction, reminiscent of flavoured milk. I feel like that was my mistake though, and I’d totally go back to improve on my initial experience…

Well-​made gelato in traditional flavours. I particularly liked the straciateli and the giandujo. It’s not the best gelato in London (that would be Gelupo, in my opinion) but it’s very good. Counter service was friendly and efficient.

Up there with the best gelato I’ve ever had. Had the hazelnut and coconut with chocolate on it and it was great. Value and service were fine

undoubtedly the best gelato in London. their flavors are fresh, the texture is great, very smooth and not icy at all. the service is friendly and makes you feel like youre in Italy, and they always have a smile on their face.
AND THE GIANDUJA (Hazelnut-​chocolate) sauce. i could watch it pour all day. it puts Nutella to shame. and they load their crepes with this stuff. fantastic all around.
I take all my visiting friends and family to this place and have never had a bad experience.

The gelato here is out of this world. I ordered a small Straciatella and it was amazing: the chocolate chips were clearly of higher quality than what you’d get elsewhere. I only regret not getting the largest size I could carry. I might have to go back tomorrow.

Despite the freezing weather today, Gelatorino’s promise of fresh made gelato was too much to resist
You can tell that the gelato is fresh because the gelato making machines are in the shop. They also bake their other products in the store
I like fruit flavours and the orange cream was right up my street. It was light and creamy with little pieces of candied orange
I shall be back to try more flavours in the future, hopefully when it’s warmer

I got a small gelato for £3 (my wallet cried a little especially when I saw how small the small was) and was able to get two flavors. The only thing that I did not like was that I wasn’t able to see all the flavors because there were covers on all of them! :(Maybe that’s to keep their freshness??? I don’t know. But I wish I could have been able to see all the flavors before choosing.
I got the Breakfast in Turin and the Old Fashioned Cream. The Breakfast in Turin is a coffee ice cream with chocolate chips and the Old Fashioned Cream had an egg cream base with candied oranges throughout. I really loved both! Of the two, I like the Old Fashioned Cream better; I thought it was more unique — something I wouldn’t be able to find in a grocery store if you know what I mean!
My buddy got the Apple sorbet and Chocolate Chip. The apple sorbet = SO GOOD! Next time, I will definitely be trying one of their fruit sorbets. I think my two flavors together got to be a little too decadent and sweet.

It seems sometimes that warm days are few and far between in London. So ice cream doesn’t always feel like the right treat.*
Which is why Gelatorino is like unknown mana from heaven.
Seriously, I’m not sure why more people don’t know this spot. Hell, I don’t know why I didn’t know this spot until someone showed it to me. It’s right near the Covent Garden Market, it’s beautiful, and the gelaito is amazing.
Let’s start with the first bit — it’s all made in house. Not just in house, but on two sleek white Apple-​looking gelato machines right next to the counter. You can’t miss them and you know everything is fresh. And the flavours are crazy fantastic. I tried the pisachio and it was delicious. Mmm.
Gelatorino is also a bakery, which makes all of its biscuits in-​house downstairs. They’ve got a beautiful display of baked goods in the back.
And when it’s cold, as it often is, try the hot chocolate. Damn good and warm. Perfect frozen day treat.
There aren’t that many seats here so it’s better as a take-​away spot. But when walking by, keep an eye out for this one. It’s worth stopping i.
*Ok, to be fair, ice cream is always the right treat. You just might get some stares if it’s snowing outside while you eat it.

My colleague told me this was the best Gelato in the area. I had to try it. She was not joking. This is the real deal. The pistachio and coffee choc were a great combo. The service was super friendly and the prices are right on. They have a loyalty card program. They also offer coffee, hot drinks, and breakfast. I also saw them making their own chocolate. Definitely not a place to pass by. You must go in! Your tummy and taste buds will thank you!

Walked passed here and immediately had to turn around and go in. I ordered a hot chocolate drink. By far, the best hot chocolate drink I have ever had! They used melted chocolate as opposed to chocolate powder.
I didn’t order ice cream this time round but kept eyeing up the people across the café with ice cream cones in their hands. It looked absolutely delish but the drink alone was definitely enough for me to become a regular here!

Amazing. Perfect. Delicious. And with a smile. Yummy!
