After all, their motto is " gelato eight days a week". They have a second location in Carlton. We dropped in on a late Tuesday evening (around 10:00pm) and the place was bumping. There's only four stools to sit inside at but another three tables outside. There's always a lineup but it moves fairly quickly. We waited and were able to time a lull that let us sample several flavours. There's 17 gelato (7 specials) and 6 sorbetti flavours. There's also the option of affogato ($7.00 AUD), gelato in brioches ($9.00 AUD), frappe ($8.00 AUD) and cakes made to order. Prices are pretty standard ($4.50 AUD for 1 scoop, $6.50 AUD for 2 and $7.50 AUD for 3). - 500 mL ($12.00 AUD) - a half tub always seems to be the best deal. The unfortunate thing at Pidapipò is that you can only choose two flavours. We ended up going with mint with white chocolate and blood plum. You get tiny chunks of white chocolate mixed with refreshing mint. Blood plum was just as good with bits and pieces of the plum skin mixed in. This is real deal gelato and sorbetti. The guys working here all were speaking Italian. Definitely worth a visit.

This place seems to have a very good reputation and it was recommended to us by a local friend. I really enjoyed the pistachio. It tasted like it was roasted. My husband asked for strachiatella. It turned out they just call it "chocolate chip". I found it was just a tad too sweet. He thought it was very good. $5.80 for a single flavour, $6.80 for two, and $8.80 for 3. It was a tad on the expensive side, but I'm Canadian and this is Australia. It's pretty normal pricing here. I would definitely come back and try other flavours.

Okay.. we took off to Waverley Road, Malvern East.. yesterday afternoon.. to have a sundae at DAIRY BELL ICE-CREAM SHOP.. Well.. of course.. another one gone.. it was there last year.. but, whole building bull-dozed.. this year..!! Google came up with another place - LICK ME ICE-CREAM on Riversdale Road, Middle Camberwell.. [Incidentally.. this shop is also known as THE BIRTHDAY CAKE SHOP and GOURMET ICE-CREAM FACTORY..] Anyway, no sundaes on offer.. smoothies still all the rage.. so we ordered: -2 x Caramel Thick Shakes with added Malt - $5.95 + .50 = $6.45 each - These were TRULY DELISH..!! - Loads of Ice-cream, Full-cream Milk, Quality tasting Caramel Topping plus Malt Powder.. YUM..!! -1 x 3 scoop Large Waffle Cone - $6 - Chose a Caramel, a Chocolate and Hokey Pokey - Disappointed with the flavour.. not much there.. could hardly discriminate between the 3 scoops.. only marked difference was the colour.. -1 x 500ml take-home tub from the freezer - $8.90 - A coffee variety.. not good.. too aerated.. almost like foam rather than ice-cream.. not sure what happened here.. I asked if their ice-cream was made on premises.. she said "Yes, we make it every Wednesday".. Signage says it's "All Natural.." "Made in Melbourne.." Okay.. well.. my recommendation - A REALLY GREAT PLACE FOR A GENEROUS OLD-FASHIONED LARGE THICK SHAKE AT A VERY GOOD PRICE - $5.95....!!!! [PS. Milk Shakes - $4.95] [PSS. They take card payment - a rarity in little ice-cream shops] Visited on Saturday 26/09/2015 with my family of four.

Far out this is good ice cream…read more Have you ever seen the "Lick Me" range in David Jones and the like? They come in cute colourful little tubs with speech bubbles that say (surprisingly) "Lick Me"). If you have, and furthermore if you've tried said ice cream, you'll at the very least suspect that the ice cream maker should be tracked down and camped outside of. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have found that location. The scoops are big, the cost is cheap and the fit out does not befit the numerous awards this place has won. Get the cinnamon. Trust me.

Food: We've been here several times now and always enjoyed great ice cream. The choice of flavours…read moreis amazing and I never know what to pick! I've always found the flavours strong, creamy and they've tasted true to their name. I find portion sizes are generous too! Atmosphere/service: Unfortunately service is hit and miss! Sometimes it can be fast and friendly, however we've also been in when it has been empty and ignored for several minutes and then they have acted as if it's an inconvenience to serve us. They also have no queueing system and when it's busy it's unnecessarily chaotic! The small seating area they have is usually not that clean and if it's even slightly busy it becomes impractical. Would I recommend it: if you can ignore the poor service (or you time it right and get someone great) the ice cream is beautiful! The aim is get in and out as quickly as possible and sit in the nearby small park to eat your ice cream - that's the part of the experience you'll really enjoy!

Then again, I don't tend to check out many of these types of places so I decided to try something a little different. Well, they certainly had a pretty decent selection, and the prices weren't all that bad either.

They have the largest selection of icecream I have ever seen in one shop. Not one or two cabinets but at least 7 are almost always full! there is even a dedicated chocolate cabinet for those who take their chocolate icecream very seriously. Either dive in quickly and get the first two flavours that grab your eye or take it slowly and walk up and down the counter three or four times before you choose. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

I will follow Messina, follow him wherever he may go!! Sydney, Melbourne... I'm there!…read more Is a review even necessary? The Messina name precedes its reputation. This household name conjures thoughts of creamy, silky, chunky swirls n mixes of textured, sweet sweet goodness. Flavours to please every palate whether you're more into the fruity or a chocoholic! Always consider the specials menu first before you go for the standard.. They're special cause they're special! Otherwise my staples are the salted caramel & the traditional simple yet oh so so soooo satisfying banana split. Mmmm mmmmm!!

Always have a look at their specials board as they have interesting flavours that aren't always on offer- had the piña colada last time and it was mind blowing! I love simple flavours like lemon sorbets which they do really well, but their mixed flavours are awesome too. It can get super busy some nights so be prepared to wait a little and they only take cash!

I loved how they were all dressed in white coats with goggles & beakers. The experience in watching your ice cream get made is so much fun & just really really cool! I like that they are just a full fat, full sugar, full everything bad for you & not trying to make a healthier version for the amazingness coma you go into (don't get me wrong I like going to "healthier" versions, makes me feel better about my indulgance) I have been told the one in fitzroy is a must go to, so that will be next on my list.

It is the not-super power that found me at Nitro Lab on a 16 degree and raining Melbourne day. There aren't that many flavours at Nitro Lab but they all look cool and are made in front of your eyes with Nitrogen from a giant tank. I don't know the scientific explanation, but ICE MADE IT GOOOOD. I can't go past Salted Caramel so that's what I got (with popcorn). My mum went for the waffle and coffee combo. The caramel was good. I tried the waffle. I have never been a fan and the chocolate sauce isn't great. But according to the girl behind the counter these are the best waffles in the city and she has been to lots of waffle places and started rattling off numerous waffle places I have never heard of as if to support her story. I think I'm more inclined to go to Messina for the flavours but this was nice for a change.
