A small shop front with what you need, gelato freezer and tables and chairs! Tried a few on the gelato in the display prior to deciding to have a waffle cone with cocoanut gelato and salted Caramel! The texture of this gelato was on point, very nice and flavours were nice and rich. A great recommendation.

After reading the name in more than a few publications around Melbourne, I was quite excited to try…read morethis famed gelato. I sample a few flavours, none of which seduced me into a scoop though, and I ended up going with different flavours altogether. Salted Caramel, Strawberry Sundae and a third which was well, unmemorable. The gelato was icey and didn't have that amazing full, rich flavour or creamy texture. It was too mild for my taste (I like 'em rich!) and honestly, I prefer Ben & Jerry's. You could put it down to personal taste (maybe) because all those awards aren't on their walls for nothing. Overall I came away from the experience disappointed. I'd call Fritz 'ice cream' before i'd call it 'gelato'. I will award points for generous taste testings though!

I needed some type of dessert after a salt filled dinner. Most places were already closed but I…read moreremembered Pidapipo is always open late. After all, their motto is " gelato eight days a week". They have a second location in Carlton. We dropped in on a late Tuesday evening (around 10:00pm) and the place was bumping. There's only four stools to sit inside at but another three tables outside. There's always a lineup but it moves fairly quickly. We waited and were able to time a lull that let us sample several flavours. There's 17 gelato (7 specials) and 6 sorbetti flavours. There's also the option of affogato ($7.00 AUD), gelato in brioches ($9.00 AUD), frappe ($8.00 AUD) and cakes made to order. Prices are pretty standard ($4.50 AUD for 1 scoop, $6.50 AUD for 2 and $7.50 AUD for 3). - 500 mL ($12.00 AUD) - a half tub always seems to be the best deal. The unfortunate thing at Pidapipò is that you can only choose two flavours. We ended up going with mint with white chocolate and blood plum. You get tiny chunks of white chocolate mixed with refreshing mint. Blood plum was just as good with bits and pieces of the plum skin mixed in. This is real deal gelato and sorbetti. The guys working here all were speaking Italian. Definitely worth a visit.

This place seems to have a very good reputation and it was recommended to us by a local friend. I really enjoyed the pistachio. It tasted like it was roasted. My husband asked for strachiatella. It turned out they just call it "chocolate chip". I found it was just a tad too sweet. He thought it was very good. $5.80 for a single flavour, $6.80 for two, and $8.80 for 3. It was a tad on the expensive side, but I'm Canadian and this is Australia. It's pretty normal pricing here. I would definitely come back and try other flavours.

Yelp Review 2023 #292:…read more I first had gelato from Gelato Messina while visiting Melbourne. We had a Gelato Messina in Vegas for a hot minute then, it went out of business for some odd reason (they were always busy). They have classic flavors: chocolate, gianduja, hazelnut, cookies and cream, coffee, Hokey Pokey, dulce de leche, chocolate mint, bounty, pistachio, rum raisin, boysenberry, salted caramel, vanilla, and tiramisu. Their sorbets are vegan: mango, strawberry, coconut and mango, passionfruit, coconut Pandan, raspberry, lemon, blood orange, and chocolate. My favorites: gianduja, hazelnut, and pistachio. They have specials that change every week. The specials are quite interesting. The flavors could have potato chips, pretzels, Nutella, nuts, fruit, marshmallows, some sort of cookie, etc. You can get 1 scoop or however many scoops you want. They have cups or cones. You can get your gelato in cake form. My favorite is the mushroom one. What I've noticed is the layout of the store is pretty much standard no matter what location you go to. You can get merchandise like shirts, mugs, aprons, and stuff.

I loved how they were all dressed in white coats with goggles & beakers. The experience in watching your ice cream get made is so much fun & just really really cool! I like that they are just a full fat, full sugar, full everything bad for you & not trying to make a healthier version for the amazingness coma you go into (don't get me wrong I like going to "healthier" versions, makes me feel better about my indulgance) I have been told the one in fitzroy is a must go to, so that will be next on my list.

It is the not-super power that found me at Nitro Lab on a 16 degree and raining Melbourne day. There aren't that many flavours at Nitro Lab but they all look cool and are made in front of your eyes with Nitrogen from a giant tank. I don't know the scientific explanation, but ICE MADE IT GOOOOD. I can't go past Salted Caramel so that's what I got (with popcorn). My mum went for the waffle and coffee combo. The caramel was good. I tried the waffle. I have never been a fan and the chocolate sauce isn't great. But according to the girl behind the counter these are the best waffles in the city and she has been to lots of waffle places and started rattling off numerous waffle places I have never heard of as if to support her story. I think I'm more inclined to go to Messina for the flavours but this was nice for a change.

If things aren't too busy they'll deliver to your table, otherwise just listen for your name. Unfortunately they weren't serving crepes or waffles when we arrived. We ordered the "death by chocolate" nitrogen ice cream which was topped with a dense fudge brownie. It was uber decadent. We also had the "mist in the woods" which is a hot chocolate set served with rose flavored nitrogen, salted caramel nitrogen Gelato, and marshmallows which you can self roast. Everything was made in house with love. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything here. Every item is very expensive though.

Tucked in a quiet alley in Melbourne's walkway, one could easily pass this spot without noticing its presence (just look for the rustic green door and you are at the right place). The interior was quite spacious with dark and industrial vibes, but I guess it's part of their charms. Their menu, however, was creative and presentation was very Instagramable. I had the Matcha Crepe Mille cake with white chocolate gelato. The crepe cakes are made from layers upon layers of velvety paper thin crepes and light cream in between. The cake was heavenly delicious and won my heart on the very first bites! The presentation was also equally orgasmic to the eye - the cake was drizzle generously with green tea ganache, garnished with edible flowers, popcorn crumbles and fresh fruits. YUM~ Truly exceptional and if you are a sweet tooth person, this dessert shop should not be missed!
