Who doesn't love a big, fat, dripping ice cream at the end of a blistering Summer day? I know I do, and whenever I need a fix, I head straight for Gelatissimo in Burwood.
Located at the entrance of Westfield, Gelatissimo offers a tantalising variety of gelato, sundae's, rich chocolates, coffee and biscotti. For those who have special dietary requirements, Gelatissimo also offer a range of gluten and dairy free products.
I don't usually bother with the coffee and biscotti, so I can't say much for the quality of these items, but after sampling about half the flavours on offer, I can safely say that Gelatissimo's gelato is delicious.
From your traditional Chocolate and Lemon, to the more sophisticated Caramalised Fig and Honey Toffee Malt (my favourite), Gelatissimo's vast range of flavours will please even the most fussy eater.
Customer service is average and disinterested, but when you're scooping ice cream all day, I guess there isn't too much to get excited about.
My only other complaint is Gelatissimo's prices, which are pretty steep. Three scoops of gelato will cost you about the same as a meal from a fast food joint, if not more, depending on what size you choose.
Gelatissimo has great gelato at premium prices. So the next time you need to cool down, check it out and grab a cone (or tub). read more
