Pidapipo Gelateria

Well unlike other reviews and the long waiting queues, the icecreams were a letdown. Within seconds of stepping out of the store, the scoops were melting and dripping down our arms (it was a warm day but not that bad too). Both the flavours, pistachio or salted caramel were more creamy than any pronounced flavours. Not on my go to for next time.

When in Melbourne it's important to always pay a visit into your nearest pidapipo branch for some quality ice cream. With dairy and dairy free options there'll be a flavor to meet anyone's taste. Staff on today were flat out busy, hard working and never complained. Great experience for all their customers.

Awesome gelato! Great prices too, which honestly explains why there is always a line. One of our scoopers were very generous, other not so much which explains the inconsistency in size. Price difference between 1 scoop and 2 scoops is only $1! 🍦 Yoghurt and Fig + Mascarpone and Berries ($6.80) - The dried figs used were so sweet in my opinion, do which the yoghurt was more sour so it offsets the sweet figs. Otherwise, it’s a great flavour! Mascarpone and berries flavour was my favourite! Tasted just like eating cheesecake. 🍦 Banana Milk + Pistachio ($6.80) - Banana milk gelato teas very interesting, thought it would taste more like the artificial flavouring you get in supermarket bought Banana Milk, but no! Be prepared for a very natural banana flavour and scent - which was so beautiful and the sweetness was perfect. The pistachio flavour was slightly underwhelming, think it could’ve been stronger. 🍨 Watermelon + Strawberry (vegan, $6.80) - Strawberry was sour but you can tell that it is made from real strawberries, not flavouring. Watermelon was very nice and refreshing, loved both! 🍨 Peanut butter, caramel chocolate and malt crumble + Mint with white chocolate chips - both flavours were really nice! Peanut butter flavour was really good and i do appreciate that it wasn’t subtle. Never had mint with white choc chips, it’s always dark or milk but it was great with white chocolate chips! 🍨 Coffee & Brownie + Salted Caramel with Brownie and Spiced Caramel ($6.80) - love that both flavours were not overly sweet, especially with the salted caramel! Some places can execute their salted caramel to be mind numbingly sweet but not Pidapipo! It was so pleasant and easy to eat. The coffee & brownie flavour is a must try! Super strong coffee flavour and went so well with the chunks of brownies, so impressed! 🍨 Pistachio + Peanut butter, caramel chocolate and malt crumble ($6.80) - Pistachio flavour could be stronger, peanut butter was nice, not too sweet. 🍨 Hazelnut + Burnt Butter & Hot Cross Bun ($6.80) - Hazelnut flavour was okay, nothing crazy. Didn’t enjoy the burnt butter bits that much because it was super sticky and stuck to teeth, hot cross bun flavour was a bit overwhelming.

Update 3/22, 5stars down to 1 star now since quality really went down and as well as the size of the cup. I think this is the best gelato shop in Melbourne... Friday night gelato made us through lockdown and all. I always order pistacchio and bacio... Happy when the servings are big, I normally observe and select the good scooper girl...
