Probably a bit of a controversial scoring on this one, but thats what Yelp's all about!
Being a bit of an icecream/ frozen yogurt lover, a visit to the seaside wouldn't be complete without some of the sweet stuff, and the iconic Nardinis seemed like a good shout.
We had a look at the menu to sit in the restaurant area, but it was pretty busy waiting to get seated, so we opted just to grab some icecream to go from the takeaway counter.
The queue was pretty big but we joined it anyway. I'm always more of a tub over cone type of person (wafers can be tasteless and tubs a lot less messy!)
There's a pretty good selection of icecream to choose from - apparently 32 flavours including daim bar, scottish tablet and snickers. The thing that was really annoying though was the fact you couldn't see what was on offer until you were right up at the cabinet (personally I like some time to choose) and with a child in tow who likes to choose it made it quite difficult.
I opted for a tub with raspberry sorbet and vanilla caramel swirl which came in at £2.50. My portion was adequate but watching some of the other scoops they certainly weren't being particularly generous with the size of the scoops!
My icecream was okay - sweet with bits of fudge in it and fruity, but to be honest it wasn't that special and I think I expected something a bit more exciting. I also quite like my icecream with some toppings - a bit of sauce and some fruit would have been nice, but then this just isn't really the traditional style, so I can't fault them for that really!
The main meals and desserts inside sounded nice, but some of the prices seemed a bit steep at around £7 for an icecream sundae!
Certainly somewhere I'd be willing to try again, but for me the icecream that the cafe is so renowned for didn't particularly wow me! read more
