Stumbled upon this spot while getting off the Underground on the way to Portobello Road. It is…read moreacross the street from the Prince Albert Pub which is really what my attention was on. In fact, I would have missed Amorino except for others in my group were not amused by a Pub with a namesake associated with a sensitive body piercing. Plus, they are gelato fanatics so this place pulled them in like a moth to flame. It is a clean, well-run shop with plenty of flavors available. The display case was quite appealing, especially the written descriptions of the flavors. There is always at least 1 lactose free option as well (on the day we were there, it was Chocolate Sorbetto) and they are very hip to give you test samples before you make a decision which is a very friendly touch in favor of the customer. While this might seem to be the norm, this shop is also in a high tourist-traffic area and I would imagine that putting up with idiots on vacation all day long might get old pretty quick. Nevertheless, they seemed very welcoming and happy to serve us which is always nice to experience as a consumer. I did not sample the goods since I was wasting my calories this trip on pub suds instead of gelato. But those in my group that did partake are somewhat authoritarian experts in the craft of frozen, dairy-based desserts. And they proclaimed it to be on par with typical European style gelato. Nothing more and nothing less and it scratched the itch of a palate in need of a gelato fix. It was not cheap but nothing in the UK is. If you are in the area and in the mood, I think you can't go wrong with a stop at Amorino for a taste of good-quality gelato.

Because my standards have shot up, and I'm ashamed to say that I purely paid for the Facebook popularity of the avocado icecream. I'm glad to say I've tried it, but it was pretty much a waste of money and stomach space. For around 9.5 pounds, you get a full-filled avocado sorbet icecream (5% sugar apparently) that tastes vaguely of avocado and mostly of lemon. There are some pistachio hints too. I really like the pit though, it had a peanut butter flavor and it was pretty decent. If you're there for the hype, take a picture of the icecream through the glass, and save your money for something else.

Yay! My rush to get home after a yelper's event paid off. (I am SO sad)…read more Anyways, this brand spanking new Gelato store right off Portabello Market is exactly what you need after a hard day vintage/ antique/ market shopping or post meat feast desserting. The restaurant itself was big and airy and I was sad to see on the website that there is an ice cream garden that we didn't notice on our visit. A small is £2.50, but it is smaller than other gelato shops in town. However, the ice cream is bursting with flavour so you don't feel cheated by the slightly underwhelming quantity... I had a dark chocolate (very rich) and yoghurt (mmm very refreshing and so much better than froyo) split and thank god I was the last to get ice cream and everyone was stuffed with their's, or else I would have ended up like Sam and having to get a second one to enjoy for myself. Yum! And a great way to finish up a lovely afternoon with my fellow yelpers.

Plus they have lots of little Italian cookies for about 50p each that you could get crumbled on top.... no, no just stop it! Sadly it is a little pricier than most places, but temptation is always gonna cost you in the end...

For customers like us who were visiting for the first time, the staff kindly and patiently explained the different favours of ice creams and sorbets, allowing us to taste some of the flavours as we were undecided. The mango sorbet was delicious, not too sweet and tasted of real mangoes. The mixed berries sorbet was not too sharp and very fruity. The pistachio ice cream was equally delicious. Although we did not dine in, but instead chose to take away, the shop is brightly lit with a variety of tempting Italian pastries should you choose to eat in. Will definitely visit again.

Service is excellent, as fast or slow as you prefer it, and the place has a great atmosphere. The Italian staff have plenty of energy and it was buzzing by 5 pm on a wet Friday. Portions are large and the food is good, not spectacular but served hot and fresh and very fairly priced for central London. The pizzas have plenty of toppings and the crust is crisp (the base itself is not), almost like a cracker, but very tasty. A solid option and a better option than the prepared hot food at some of the places in the station itself.

The Portobello outlet is relatively new and I've been waiting for an excuse to try their ice creams. Very good choice on the hottest day of the year so far. They have a relatively small selection, which actually helps with the time people take to order, so this is a definite plus! I opted for a scoop of their premium flavour "Black Forest" which is a delicious mixture of chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a delicious cherry topping. For once I didn't regret my retro choice, this gelato was perfect and not too sickly sweet. Scoops are very generous (and so they should at £3.40+), the perfect afternoon treat. Like most traditional Italian ice cream parlours the decor is nothing to write home about, plain and simple with a lot of purple thrown in - from staff uniforms to spoons, everything is purple here. They have a couple of tables outside, but there is no need to linger with Portobello Market on your doorstep!

Altogether, a safe bet.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!…read more Apologies for sounding like Meg Ryan from that infamous restaurant scene in When Harry Met Sally but self serve fro yo has finally come to London! For those of you who read my reviews, you'll know my happiness at the recent proliferation of fro yo outlets in London but I've been lamenting the lack of self serve fro yo, which I've been lucky enough to partake of on my trips to the USA. The laments have even got to the point a fellow Yelper was trying to persuade me to open a Pinkberry franchise myself in London to get self serve fro yo! Well, lament no more shall I for Yogland has opened and their tagline is self serve frozen yogurt (I shall even forgive them the American spelling!) The advantage of self serve fro yo is that they usually offer a much wider range of flavours, you can mix the flavours to your heart's content and most importantly for me, you can add as many and as much topping as you desire - I love toppings and can't limit myself to just 2 or 3, which you have to in traditional fro yo shops. I hurried in and most of the shop looks empty with the 3 fro yo machines located at the back of the shop. The young ladies in the shop were doing a good job of explaining to customers exactly how the process works - grab a tub, fill it with yoghurt, add toppings and sauces and pay at the counter where they'll weigh your masterpiece - £1.50 per 100g but there's discounts for students as well as a Happy Wednesday offer when it's £1 per 100g on Wednesdays between 6-8pm. Today, the 3 machines offered 2 flavours out of each machine - tart and blueberry, red velvet and peanut butter, American cheesecake and pomegranate. Each machine had 3 nozzles - the end nozzles delievered a single flavour and the middle nozzle delievered a mix of the 2 flavours for that machine. Purely in the name of Yelp research, I tried all the flavours! The fro yo is of good quality - distinctive flavours and creamy, not icy cosistency, which can sometimes happen with inferior self serve fro yo machines. The toppings were a mixture of fresh fruit, nuts and sweeter offerrings. I love fruit and piled those on - pineapple, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, satsuma and just for luck, a sprinkle of crumbled choc biscuits (I think they might have been oreos). Speaking to the girls at the checkout, they say customers have already been making requests for other toppings. I would like to add my plea for lychee, mango and some boba including popping boba. I was a very happy bunny, seated on one of their bar stools in the shop, watching customers getting to grips with swirling their own fro yo. I can also now see swirling contests as people try to achieve the perfect fro yo swirl in their tubs! In case you didn't get the gist of how much I'm excited about Yogland opening - YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
