Tremendous. A line out the door at 9:30 on a Saturday in July. No worries. Get in that line. Creamy, sweet, good array of flavors. Service is organized, important when crowded. read more

Oddonos is one of the best gelato places I've had. It definitely lives up to its hype. It's creamy and flavorful! Definitely a place to stop at after dinner or for a midday snack. read more

Wandering through Kensington, we stopped upon Odonno's and stopped for a quick treat. The gelato was fresh and sweet. I'm we got a hazelnut chocolate and berry mix as well as a cookies and cream and berry mix. Yummy! Smooth, flavorful and tasty. If you're in the area, give Odonno's a visit! read more

Very good ice cream spot with mainly classic flavors but well made. Service is quick and efficient and prices are fair given the quality and in comparison with other places. I had a cone with Hazelnut and Almonds that I really liked despite the almond ice cream being a bit too sweet. read more

It's the perfect neighborhood gelato spot!!! It just needs to have some additional flavors or a flavor of the day added. But otherwise top knotch. read more

Best gelato in London!!! I get gelato here regularly. It taste the most authentic you can find outside of Italy. read more

Oddono's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - London, XGL

Oddono's is a quaint ice cream parlor worth dropping by if you happen to find yourself in South Ken. The gelato served here is creamy, flavorful, and dense - just as any good gelato should be. Among all the flavors I sampled, the common theme was that none were overly sweet. I would recommend trying out the pistachio and hazelnut if it's your first time. Prices here are quite reasonable as well. One scoop costs £2.30, and it increases by a pound until you reach four scoops at £5.30. They generously pack those spoonfuls in though, so the small was more than enough for me. read more

Oddono's - One Scoop: Pistachio, Salted Caramel (£2.30) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - London, XGL

It does not matter what the weather is like in London, gelato is always good (even if you are shivering as you eat it). Oddono's is small and they do not have a huge selection of flavors. What they do have is good and a mix of the basic to a few more fun options. It is also okay to try a couple flavors (as long as you are buying, though I'm not sure what they could really do if you just had some samples and left). This is the only place I have seen salted caramel gelato (my current favorite ice cream flavor) so I was pretty excited about it. The chocolate hazelnut is also a solid choice. It was so good we ended up coming back a second time. read more

Best gelato I have ever had. Nice service. The atmosphere was good as well. Very good place

Mmm Mmm Mmm. Man is this ice cream good! I recently tried Oddono's at an ice cream festival - only a small taster but they got me hooked so I had promised to go to one of their stores and take my bf who LOVES ice cream (who doesn't?). Oddono's have 5 ice cream parlours around London but the closest to us is in South Ken so after a picnic in Kensington Gardens (we ate an obscene amount to then gorge ourselves on ice cream but hey!) we toddled off to South Kensington. The store is off a main street and to quote my bf it felt like 'a street that South Ken forgot' with kebab shops, corner shops and a lotta litter on the pavement. I therefore expected Oddono's to be empty but it was so busy and now I know why! Inside there are seats, standing space and then at the front a lovely freezer full of their homemade delicious ice cream. Decor wise it feels a bit dated but the prices are reasonable and the staff so so friendly. Currently if you check in on Yelp you receive a free scoop of ice cream in either a cone or cup. We both therefore checked in and were offered any flavour we liked. I couldn't decide between 2 and so was told I could have my scoop with 2 flavours (surely that's 2 scoops?) so I jumped at the offer and got pistachio and hazelnut, milk chocolate. My bf went for salted caramel and was a bit gutted he hadn't asked for 2 but that was his own fault! The scoops were bloomin huge - very generous of them. And all 3 flavours were brilliant! Can't recommend this place enough! The only reason it isn't 5* is because it doesn't do anything different. read more

With stormy weather on the way apparently, I'm taking advantage of what has been quite a good summer to squeeze in as much ice cream as I can. Oddono's is serious gelato as evidenced by the fact that they're stocked by none less than Selfridges. However, I prefer this location which has some outdoor seating and seems a much nicer way to sit and relax while licking your chosen icy treat The design of gelato shops however does seem to leave something to be desired as they often cause queues which prevent you from seeing clearly what flavours are available. I always worry about nipping round the side to see the other flavours and then losing my place in the queue. Like any self-respecting gelato shop, you can ask for a mix of flavours on your cone, whatever size you plump for. That was a trick I learned from watching other customers Free samples are available if you can't make your mind up. I'm a sucker for the more refreshing fruit flavours and sorbets in the summers and go for the creamier full bodied flavours as the temperature falls. Lastly, my Chinese Thrift Gene is satisfied with a 'small cone' costing £2.30 with a mountain of 2 flavours of gelato. A perfect place for dessert after a meal at one of the many local restaurants read more

Oddono's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - London, XGL

You can buy Oddono's ice cream in Selfridges Food Hall, so as you can imagine, it's traditional Italian, high quality gelato. After you try the ice cream from here you realise what we've previously been missing in the UK! All the scoops are 100% natural, with no added rubbish and you can really taste the difference. It's so creamy, swirled with the most delicious flavours like cinnamon, honey and my personal favourite Bacio, (that literally means 'kiss') a milk chocolate and hazelnut scoop of pure pleasure. They also have a soya choice and great natural fruit sorbets if you can't indulge in the milk based ones. It's getting a bit cold for ice cream, but I'm still going in for an affogato, a steaming coffee with a scoop of ice cream, and since as they use the best Illy coffee, this is about as good as it gets. read more

Italian gelato is one of my favorite desserts, and by this I mean I can eat it everyday! Oddono's Gelati is just about as close as I've come to experiencing the romance of Italian gelato heaven without leaving the United Kingdom. The gelato is fresh and natural, and is served in flavours such as nocciola, honey, ginger, coconut, etc. There is also a fine selection of sorbets and ice cream cakes. read more

Oddono's - Oddono's Gelati Italani - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - London, XGL

Oddono's was quick and the people working the counter was very friendly. The flavors they had were largely the standard you'd expect at any place plus a few interesting ones like banana. It looked clean and there were no glaring issues. Nothing screams "wow" but it was good. read more

This place was packed late on a fairly cold, rainy Saturday night, so that's a pretty good sign. They have particularly good pistachio gelato and it's really nice to be able to mix 2 flavours even in a small cup. Yee Gan O. makes a good point about the layout of this store, it's really awkward that the counter is also the queue and sometimes you're served before you can see half the flavours. Remember: stay focused, stay calm - your gelato decision is important and should only be made after full consideration. read more

pastichio gelato, as good as the ones I've had in Italy! Definitely worth a trip over if you're close by. I came here after going to the museums (V&A and Natural History Museum). It's not too far and is totally worth checking out. So good! read more

Oddono's - Pistachio gelato is quite good! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - London, XGL

Oddono's has been trading in London for 12 years now and having tried their produce a couple of times I was never disappointed. Strolling past Sth Ken today I decided to visit their Mothership in Bute Street. I opted for two gelato flavours (peanut butter and caramel with fig) counterbalanced by two lighter but unusual sorbets: chocolate and coconut. While the first pair was fully flavoured and rich having 8% fat content (as per their website) the 0% sorbets were much much softer and dilute in comparison. The sorbets were still good, mind you, just different and the difference has to be appreciated before making the choice. If I go gelato I prefer to go hard but its good to have a choice - sunny days wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for rain. read more

It hit the spot! While visiting a friend after a lovely Sunday around Kensington area, Yelp​ said this was the best gelato/frozen yogurt joint in the area so we just had to. As planned, we saved some space for a gelato from Oddonno's. After a slurp or two, we unanimously agreed that it was a HIT! Check it out for yourself! As for the portion, it is fair for the price, while the selection they offer is quite typical of an Italian Gelateria. If your unsure of what you want, ask the server to try out the gelato you are interested to order. As for my choice, hazelnut and coffee...hmmmm yummy. My verdict is thumbs up! I am happy to have found this place! Lovely little gelato shop in South Kensington. Reasonable prices and good, strong flavors. read more

While I only checked-in twice, I came here just about every evening on my trip to London. My grandmother had the gelato the first night and was determined to have it every night thereafter! It is a small location nestled in a side street, but it is definitely worth the little walk off the main road to have a sweet evening treat. There are two small tables outside, as welll as some tables and booths inside the shop. Along the back wall is the case of gelato as well as some featured small gelato cakes and frozen treats. I changed up the flavors every night but must admit that my favorites were the baccio and the stracciatellla. Though we had different servers every evening, I have to say that the service was fantastic every night that we visited. I would definitely recommend this spot for some quality smooth gelato if you are in South Kensington! read more

The best gelato in London!! I used to live in Buenos Aires where you can find many italian inspired gelaterias, and after digging quite a lot in London I have to say this is my favourite one. My usual flavours are pistacchio and nocciola. read more

My friend and I specifically went out of our way to get here, and ooooh was it worth it!!! Best gelato I've had in London. Not too sweet and has so much flavor. Locals like it too, since they bought a whole box of it home with them! read more

No doubt about it, this is 5 star material all-round: -The gelato, which is creamy, strikingly tasty and comes in a variety of intriguing flavours (of which my favourite is caramel and figs - mmmm)' -The fact that you can taste all the flavours beforehand; -The exceedingly generous servings - seriously, think 2 scoops rather than 3!; -The friendly and accommodating service; -The funky interior and seating outside; -Best of all, the prices, ranging from £2.30 for a single scoop, to £5.30 for four scoops. Of sizeable portions. Like your ice-cream? Come here! read more

Summer is here, time for gelato! I recommend the waffle cone, as on a hot day the gelato will start to melt as soon as you walk out the door into the sun, and you don't want all of that mouthwatering gelato to run down onto your hand. Plus, the waffle cone is delightful. Inside you'll find a large array of flavors to choose from - I recommend the cookies and cream and the milk chocolate hazelnut... heavenly! They also have several flavors of sorbet in case you want to be "healthy" (but really, get the good stuff!). It can get a little busy when the weather is nice, but that's to be expected in London... if it's that good there's always a queue (it usually moves quickly though). Enjoy! read more

Not sure why this place has such high reviews. I went out of my way to try it, and it's probably the blandest ice cream I've ever had. The interior isn't even cute either. Bleh. Don't bother. read more

Alright, I recently came back from Italy... But after tasting "authentic" gelato, I have to say that Oddono's serves up some of the best gelato this side of the Channel. Their flavors are plentiful, their servings generous, and their location incredibly accessible. Definitely would recommend this! read more

Did you have a bad day and now desperately need a pick-me-up in the form of a cold, sweet treat? Oddono's is your place. They have a bunch of different flavors of gelato, and several sorbets. I didn't pay much attention to the sorbets (because really, who cares about sorbet when there's gelato right in front of you?), but the gelato flavors I recall seeing the other night include: Madagascar vanilla, chocolate, coffee, chocolate chip, nutella, pistachio, bacio (milk chocolate and hazelnut), nocciola (hazelnut), and panettone. They also sell larger takeaway containers of ice cream, as well as hot waffles with ice cream, which will be my next stop on the Oddono's train. There are a few tables and some seating inside and outside, but it's a fairly small space. Servings are quite generous (our very Italian server PACKED that gelato into my cup), and you're welcome to sample all the flavors before you choose. (Also, for those who are hesitant about eating cold gelato in the winter, no need to worry, because the heat is ON at Oddono's. Literally. It's very warm inside.) read more

Wonderful Italian ice cream served by mostly Italian staff with Italian smiles! What's not to like? Well, nothing, which is why it gets 5 stars :) They have another branch on the top floor of Whiteleys shopping centre too! read more

If you like ice cream and you live in London, most likely you will have heard of Oddono's. If not, you really should check it out. One summer evening I was walking home from the office and suddenly I felt a craving for refreshment and decided some ice cream would be nice. Because I walked along the streets of South Kensington regularly, I knew that in a tiny side street I could find Oddono's. I do not even remember if I had tasted Oddono's ice cream before, I certainly have never been at their shop in South Kensington. They offer a wide variety of fresh ice cream and whatever taste you like, they will have something for you. The flavour is very strong and natural, and it is a real pleasure to eat there. You can find a few very good places for ice cream in London, but Oddono's is definitely one of the best - if not the best. read more

My boyfriend is a fan of ice-cream and is dedicated to trying every ice cream joint in London. For him, the gelato in Oddono's is among the best of London, his top 3 for now. The main good points for Oddono's are the great tasting ice cream, which is very good (but not flawless), their competitive prices (2.30, 3.30, 4.30 for 1, 2, 3 scoops, which is in the lower end for London), and their flavours (he just loves the chocolate and hazelnut ice cream there). Some staff are more generous then others, so if you're a regular, try singling out the generous ones ;) Weak points are the sorbets. Just don't buy sorbet if you are going to Oddono's! Have real gelato! As a benchmark; Gelato Lupo has more intense ice cream, but is much more costly ( and less generous too!) read more

Admission time. I'm not a big gelato fan. Yes I'm of Italian ethnicity and my entire family LOVES ice cream and gelato but somehow I'm the black sheep here. Like most of you, I have friends who like gelato and have brought me here. I will say, i have very much enjoyed the cookies and cream. Of course I only ate four spoonfuls and gave the rest away. My cousin and her friend came visiting from Italy. 100% born and raised Italians (unlike moi who was born in America). We finished dinner and I know they have a sweet tooth. Was nervous on my choice but went here over Scoop. I couldn't be happier when it turned out the employees were both Italian too! Between the five of us, with the four of them babbling about in Italian and me only getting one of every four words, I was again the black sheep. Pariah feelings outside, they LOVED this place and the gelato. So really, there isn't any other choice in South Kensington if you ask us. read more

I haven't tried Italian gelato from Italy yet but I'm pretty sure this tastes pretty close to the real thing. It's amazing and I've never had any gelato like this in America. I got the hazelnut as many others recommended and its delicious. I liked that over the cookies and cream. the hazelnut flavor has actual hazelnuts in it too! My friend got the pistachio and she said that was amazing as well. The prices are also crazy cheap. It's 2.30 for a small. The people who work there are Italian so I would bet that this is real Italian gelato. read more

Oddono's - Hazelnut and cookies and cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - London, XGL

Excellent ice cream parlour tucked inside Selfridges! They serve home made Italian gelato and sorbets, and this is probably the best you can get in London. An offshoot of the main branch in South Kensington, there's a small seating area to enjoy your ice cream or you can have it to takeaway. Prices are very reasonable too. The small is only £2, but they really do pack it in so its not just a small tiny ball you are getting. The medium, at £3, is perfect for 2! read more

Fabulous little gelato shop, and it's Italian on top of that! The ice-cream is amazing and there's a huge variety in terms of flavours. The place is just a small piece of heaven if you're with children - their eyes tend to go bigger with every scoop of ice-cream they get on their cones and will love you even more after the visit. The last time we were here, I got the one with the cookies inside and it was quite delicious, but maybe a bit too sweet for my taste. I might get something smoother next time, I'm thinking the milk chocolate should be a winner. read more

This place is fantastic; the real deal. We ventured out somewhat late one evening for a dessert fix, and Oddono's really hit the spot. The flavors are full and rich, with none of that chemical, made-with-flavor-syrup taste most American "gelato" has. I got my fave combo, chocolate and nocciola (hazelnut) and was thoroughly pleased. read more

Really authentic ice-cream right in South Kensington. They have two more branches but this one is the main one. Even so, it is not a particularly big place, and there is no much place to sit. Plus its seats are not very comfortable. Instead of sitting inside, you will find a small crowd (particularly in hot Summer weekend days) enjoying their ice-cream right outside on the street. I have tried most flavours in this place and I can honestly say that their choc and hazelnut ice-cream is a heavenly gift (I really am into chocolate and hazelnuts, so I guess that helps ;) The nutella and strawberry flavours are great too, but all the others are really tasty anyway! In terms of pricing, a small serving (£2.30) in Odonno's is quite a good size, so you won't have to spend a fortune to enjoy good quality ice-cream in an overall quite pricey area. read more

A bit off the main area, but still busy which is a good sign. Excellent chocolate chip gelato. read more

Tasty ice cream, just around the corner from South Kensington. While it's not the most healthy thing in the world, the ice-cream here is definitely pretty tasty. Their fruit ice-creams are packed with fruit, and taste great! Whilst it is a little on the pricey side (around £3 for a medium cone or pot), it's great for those hot summer days when you just want to treat yourself. read more
