    This gelato was delicious and just the treat I needed on a day reaching 90 degrees (and high humidity). Service with a smile too! I loved the cone yoo- it had nuts on it. I would love to visit again, time permitting

    Poppy seed and ube ice cream
    Heying D.

    There are many better ice cream places in Vienna. Now most of them are already closed and I was craving ice cream, so I gave them another try. I was surprised they had ube ice cream, so I took that and poppy seed. It was good but just not good enough for my taste buds.

    the chicken salad
    Olivia L.

    Got the chicken salad and a gelato afterwards. Chicken salad was good, but also it's hard to mess up fried chicken on a caesar salad. The gelato though, was very good. Maybe I was just hungry, but it was one of the best strawberry gelato I've ever had (although not that I've had a lot of strawberry gelato in my lifetime). Overall, nice place with a nice ambience it pretty good food.

    Raspberry tart

    Dropped by for some deserts to take back to our nearby VRBO and everything looked so good we stayed for coffee and more goodies to eat in. They have a beautiful selection of Viennese goodies which all looked fantastic. We got a some for dinner at our apartment. We got apple strudel, apple tart, and sacher torte among others. The restaurant/coffee shop was very nice with a bright, modern ambience. Service was friendly and efficient. Our waiter spoke excellent English. I was with my daughter and my grandson. I had the raspberry cream tart shown in my picture and an espresso, my daughter had a latte and chocolate croissant and my grandson had a hot chocolate and chocolate croissant. Everything was excellent. They are dog friendly and we sat by an English Cocker Spaniel who made me miss our English Cocker Sophie who had to stay in the States. We will definitely be back

    Interior: cake and ice cream bar

    Established in 1984, the establishment prides itself on "passion de Italian". This is a beautiful eatery. Some of the chairs were cushioned like mini sofas. Many locals sitting and sipping coffee and relaxing. This is a great place to eat and people watch: the parade of patrons sashaying through the glass door, is fun to watch. I was really craving a turkey burger but no luck. I ordered a chicken burger with fries and a cappuccino. The waiter brought me my coffee literally on a mini silver platter. The froth was heavenly although the coffee part could have been hotter. My entree came and was served by a different waiter, it didn't look like what I ordered: chicken fingers with salad. My main waiter apologized and laughed " Oh no that is not a chicken burger!". As I waited, I watched the patrons waltzing in. One came with a dog. Let me start off apologizing first to all dog lovers as I love them. However, allowing patrons to eat inside with a dog is not something that is suitable. I can understand if it was summer and the patron is seated outside. This patrons dog was sneezing and sad to say, choking, as she stared at the gelato display. Patrons who order gelato point at the display as to what flavor they want. There are varieties of cones to choose from as well. Also, their cakes look like heaven on a plate. Their frozen yogurt and ice creams literally sit in an oversized martini glass. It is a sight to see. The waiters have their own mini Ipad cash registers and tally your bill in front of you. The bathroom is also quite lovely as is the decor of the entire establishment. Service is fine but a tad stuffy. 4*: -1* sorry the dog rule was a bit too much

    For my new yelp friend Alex, in my favorite city in Europe on a warm day you have many choices to sit outside to enjoy a meal or in this case gelato. Sitting near the Franz-Joseph-Kai overlooking the canal gives ample time to people watch and enjoy your time with your guests.

    This place had great food and amazing dessert. A must try. We didn't have a long wait. Totally worth it for lunch. A very busy place for a good reason. I loved the smoked salmon, not fishy at all. Any of the gelato is a good idea.

    Great Viennese cuisine with attentive staff and short wait times. The coffee and associates desserts are lovely, bringing a truly Italian X Viennese feel to your experience here. Particularly beautiful in the warmer months.

    Cookies Teller....yum!

    Even though this is very popular with tourists I still like to come here because I like the desserts. Whenever I have friends visiting I bring them here because the location is great (Schwedenplatz) and who doesn't love dessert?! Plus they have a big choice of cakes, including the traditional Strudel, Sache Torter, Mozart Kuchen etc and the most amazing ice cream sundaes. I have been here many times and I am little annoyed at the bad service I tend to get. I know there is a stereotype in Vienna that all waiters and waitresses are mean, unfriendly and generally can't give a rat's ass but I have never found that. Honestly. (Maybe it's because I lived in Paris for a year, the service tends to suck there a lot more than here!) But I am always annoyed at having to wait for a waiter or them forgetting about our order or something like that. Anyway, the food tastes good so I still go regardless of the service. The place is open really late and is always busy. It has a big smoking room in the back with non-smoking in the front. They also have a nice outdoor space in the summer. They serve normal food as well as desserts but I have yet to try it...the desserts are always too tempting. I would give the desserts 5 stars but the service 1 or 2 so that unfortunately drops it to a 3...

    We came here twice in one day... and I'm still giving it two stars. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I tried Kaiserscharn for the first time and it was alright. It's basically like pancakes but scrambled with cinnamon and powdered sugar. They were a little dry. Bf ordered ham and eggs and that was good, but it's kind of hard to mess those up. The waitress didn't seem to be too happy with us, but they were also quite busy. The next time we came for dessert in the afternoon, and our waitress really wasn't friendly. We ordered 3 different desserts that could easily be taken from the display case and placed on a plate within 2 minutes. The table with 100 children was served before us even though they sat down after us. When we asked the waitress what was taking so long she responded with an annoyed look. Clearly she had forgotten, but instead of apologizing it was somehow our fault. Once we got the desserts I didn't even care for them. ME!? Not finish dessert?! How is this possible??? I guess they must really not have been good. I'll admit the decor is really awesome. It's very open with a lot of seating which is good, because the place is usually packed. However, I honestly wouldn't try any of their desserts, even though they have A LOT of awesome looking cakes. Maybe I'd come again for their gelato. Don't be surprised if you have to wait a while though. Wir hatten ein sehr sehr langsam Kellnerin. Sie war nicht so nett und nicht glucklich mit uns. Das Frustuckessen war gut aber die Kuchen sind nicht so gut. Trotzdem ist diese Ort sehr popular und viel viel Leuten sind hier.

    Hazelnuss + Pistachio
    Alexandra K.

    A typical ice cream parlor, you can either sit down and enjoy large sundaes or head up to the counter and grab a few scoops to go. -Pistachio: it has a bit of an outer-shell pistachio taste, rather than the nut itself. Nicely salty and sweet. -Hazelnuss (Hazelnut): oh delicious! I love the creaminess and texture of the ice cream as it takes a long time to melt. It's like Nutella in ice cream form. FINAL VERDICT: This gelateria is A-OK.

    Rory R.

    For an ice cream parlour in this location and for these prices the best I can say is its A-OK! Not the best or worst you'll ever find but a decent ice cream at a decent price. Don't expect to be wowed by the selection of flavours on offer, they are all pretty standard and the service is not too bad too. If you need an ice cream and you are near then by all means but if you want something a little bit special then maybe look elsewhere.

    The Mozart Tart with Tea
    Immanuel F.

    The Gelateria Castelletto is an Italian institution in the city center of Vienna. It is located right next to the lively Donaukanal (Danube Canal) and close to the Stephansplatz, Vienna's famous main square. The Italian Ice Cream by the Fratelli Castelletto is great and the tarts and cakes as well and you enjoy your order in the atmosphere of an Italian Gelateria built into a Vienna townhouse of an aristocrat. So expect high ceilings, stylish flair and much space. So the Castelletto is a great Italian Ice Cream Shop not only offering Ice Cream but delicious desserts, coffee, tea, toasts, burgers, soups and all kinds of meals. The seating is stylish and most important it is comfortable to sit in since the seating is kept in sofa style. So the Mozart Tart I can highly recommend if you are into Pistachio Cream Tarts like me. It is super delicious! With Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

    If I had to think about the top five things I've ever eaten, this place would take the cake…read more(figuratively and literally, hehe) in terms of dessert. Like Demel, Cafe Central is a MUST visit when you go to Vienna, where the coffee houses are a sight to behold on their own. Yes, the wait is quite long. Every time I pass by, there's a line, but it actually goes rather quickly and if you can find something to do to pass the time, it's like nothing at all. First off, the interior is STRIKING, a work of art in its own right with marble columns, stylish looking cafe tables, and paintings every where you go. Apparently Sigmund Freud has been a frequent patron here. Even if you were to get nothing at all, just the experience of sitting here is worth your eyes absorbing. But, oh!--the cakes--and the coffees! I had me an iced coffee that had a great body mixed with a delicate flavor to give me a jolt through the day. The hazelnut cake was airy and fluffy, not at all too sweet like American desserts have a tendency to be! The staff here move efficiently, and I love how there's no pressure to hurry up and pay your bill or make your order. A repeat place to be sure if I were to go back to Vienna. My twin and I went on Sept '25 for our vacation.

    The famous Cafe Central!!! I was so excited to go here that I almost gave up because of the long…read moreline. I went around 9:00 AM. The line moved pretty quickly, though, and I waited about 30 minutes. The interior is stunning. I was completely enamored with the architecture and the structure of the building. I was not overly hungry, but I wanted to try the goulash and the apple strudel. Get the strudel with the sauce. 10/10. Amazing. I would absolutely do it again.
