Mauß has been THE "go-to" ice cream parlor for Ottakring and Penzing for decades. Every Spring…read morefriends announce to me in passing, "Mauß hat geöffnet! " It's the first hint of Summer in the neighborhood. People who are from the area grew up going to Mauß for an after school treat. It's a real neighborhood monument. Of course it's wonderful for children especially since it's located near the Karl-Kantner-Park which has a recently renovated playground. The ice cream is great and service is usually friendly. There's outdoor seating, but since it's often very smoky, I sit in the comfy seats inside or take a to go order to the park.

Opens during spring and summer. This is one of the best…read moreGelateria in town. Unfortunately inside and the entrance is a little too small and narrow for the busy crowd. The line is most of the time so long that it streches all the way out of the cafe! I wouldn't recommend sitting inside... They do have a nice sitting area outside and it's a great place to enjoy your ice cream sundae from their creative sundae menu. The staff are always super friendly. They have 5 and 10 l ice boxes that you can take home, so it's really convenient if you are planning on having a BBQ party during the summer with ice cream! They quite a large amount of flavors to choose from such as vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, raspberry, coconut, teramisu, mango and much more! They even have a special Mozart flavor (a mix of pistachio, chocolate and hazelnut nougat) which tastes like the famous golden mozart kugeln! I really recommend this flavor and also mango. In my opinion, Mango is the best during the hot summer as it is so juicy and refreshing! The more scoops you buy the cheaper each scoop will become so eat up! I live close to this gelateria and everyone around here loves the ice cream here. It is THE gelateria in our district and we are proud of it! Update: After trying many other gelaterias in Vienna, I must say that it is over priced here and the potions are waaay too little... Too bad!

Gets two stars from the strawberry ice cream ALONE…read more pizza was underdone in the middle and somehow burnt (not charred) on the crust. Margherita did not come with basil even though it was advertised as such, and when asked about it the waiter just sort of shrugged and walked off. Same deal with salami on another patron's order in our group. Service slow, lethargic. Don't come here y'all - or if you do, make sure it's for ice cream after eating elsewhere

We ate here on Christmas Day because there wasn't much open. We had 3 pizzas and a pasta dish…read more Pizza was soggy and sub par. But what I was really upset about was the guy tried to short change me 8 euro. Not like it's a lot but I questioned him 3 times and I guess he thought I wasn't going to ask for it back after he left. I went up to the counter and showed him on the calculator that he shorted me...he acted put out and gave me the correct change - then he informed me that this total didn't include the tip. I guess he was trying to insure he got what was his..street food might have been better.
