What a lovely spot to stop in for something sweet. The atmosphere was upscale and the booth we had was quite comfortable. The service was very good as well. I ordered the Kaiserschmarrn and a cup of tea while my friends ordered Milchrahmstrudel & an espresso as well as a cup of minestrone and a strawberry frappe. We all enjoyed the flavors of everything as well. The prices were a bit on the higher side except they are probably good for the tourist area of Vienna. The menu is extensive, and it would be nice to come back and try some other dishes- especially the Italian ones since they say that is their speciality! read more

5/24/2026 Everything was fine until we paid with CC, they said it did not go through...the waiter attempted to run again the card did not go thru.. We used another card and paid. When I called my credit card company immediately after I found there were no issues with the card and the waiter ran two different amounts on his machine...one for 69 euro...one for 80 euro. read more

Was out exploring the city in Winter, so had to pop in for a coffee to warm-up! A lovely interior to escape the chaos of the city! Feels very luxurious and upscale, although the prices were fair! Service was friendly and quick! The latte was scrumptious and the perfect warming drink for a day of holiday shopping! read more

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. read more

This is the first restaurant I visited in Vienna. Having just left Italy, it was ironic that I stumbled into an Italian cafe - anyway . . . I jumped right into Viennese food. BERNERWÜRSTEL! Yes! Some sausages please! These were delicious, juicy, bacon-wrapped and well prepared, with a nice size salad on the side. I did not indulge in any desserts, but this place, like all of Vienna has many fantastic looking offerings. Topped it off with a cafe latte, creamy, smooth Viennese coffee. The friendly staff was very nice to me stumbling over the Austrian words, and I thank them for that. Just a nice, clean, bright place with great food, spotless restrooms and fantastic staff. Great way to get your bearings in a new city. read more

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. read more

My personal favorite gelato place in Vienna. I love their Ms. Purple, which is a sweet potato gelato that is fantastically sweet! Their wait staff is extremely friendly and always welcoming, which is not always true about many Viennese places. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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... read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Right into the review we had the best ice cream maybe in the world here... ok no lie it truly was memorable and lovely. The atmosphere is fantastic with everyone enjoying their experience and the staff here ensure that you get your ice cream quickly. We love how you can get fresh berries with your ice cream. The ice cream itself was delicious and creamy. It's very clean and the restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. They have people working front of the house to get all the ice cream orders done and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. You can go by the front of the restaurant and see what you like but their menu offers plenty of options and each one we tried was enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

This is such a great place! True Italian passion in all of its heart with a mix of Vienna flair. If it's Italian Café, amazing gelato in rather big sizes and with various tastes, big plate sandwiches, cooked food, Longdrinks or all variations of coffee with pralines, or rather a cake or better a Lokal sweet treat. This place simply is great and offers everything at convincing high quality. The staff is friendly, cheerful and occasionally jokes with guests leaving them with a good laugh. The setting is a mix between Vienna charm and modern cafe house with glass and light wooden interior. Pictures at the walls and plants create a home like feeling. Slight music accompanies the scenery in the background. The huge arches of the old Vienna buildings outside wall have been accompanies inside with a great glass wall. This allows you to sit in peace between them at a slightly lowered floor level. The seating is as comfortable that you can easily spend half a day here, starting out with lunch; going though coffee time and ending with dinner and some Longdrinks. I enjoy coming back here and to bring a book. Prices here are moderate for Vienna which makes revisits to Castelletto a joy. Drop in and experience this modern place for yourself. read more

Lovely spot at a reasonable price in downtown Vienna. I dined here twice while visiting Vienna and staying nearby. They have a full gelato and dessert bar set up which gets a lot of foot traffic from people passing by, and the gelato was the best I had during my European trip (better than what I was eating in Italy the week before)! I also grabbed brunch here on my final morning, and the food was fresh, reasonably priced, and the service was quick! I would definitely recommend this place for cafe food and dessert! read more

This place is right near the river and was really close to my hotel so I went here twice. Their menu is pretty standard and you'll see it pop up several times across the city at restaurants under different names. But you're not crazy-they really all use the same menu. I tried two desserts here-a sundae and a yogurt frappe and both were really delicious. The yogurt frappe was especially refreshing. The sundae is a little overwhelmingly sweet and there is a little more whipped cream than I would have liked, but overall I was pleased. The prices at this location are like 1 euro cheaper than if you wander further into the city center. read more

if you're looking for a viennese "kaffeehaus", go somewhere else. if you're looking for some great ice-cream, go somewhere else. if you're looking for a quick stop for some coffee and/or ice-cream which is ok but not great, you came to the right place. all in all average. if you like fresh gelato with natural ingredients and also tasting them you will be disappointed. don't get me wrong, it's ok if you aren't as picky as I. it's just no ice-cream parlor. it's a restaurant/coffee shop/ice-cream parlor/bakery. I think they're trying too hard to be everything of the above and lost their focus. read more
