After reading reviews we tok a trip to this gelateria and did not regret it one ounce! The gelato was so amazing we had two poetions in a row! You could clearly taste and see how the gelato was made from scratch withproper produce as base. Brilliant! Must taste!

The shop is far from the city centre but it shouldnt put you off from making your trip to this place. In fact I quite love the neighborhood and the surrounding area, it is relatively quiet and there's plenty of restaurant nearby. Talking about the gelato itself, it's one of the best and certainly my favourite. There are so many... More

Very nice ice cream - particularly liked the chocolate 'Aztec' with chilli although one scoop was enough and it actually got a bit painful to eat by the end of the scoop. If you are going to try this then I would recommend having this one on top so you can follow it by something a bit cooler......

This amazing place is next to my place and this is very bad because it is very hard not to go there everyday! Best Gianduja ice cream. Almond and pistachio tastes are very rich. I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE!

only three words: great great icecream. The place is always full of customers, the waffle is crispy and fresh, the tastes of chocolate are more than four, always fresh fruit for artigianal ice cream!!! Go there and enjoy it!!!

Excellent ice creams and frozen yoghurt. Many chocolate options. Really great taste in this nice ice cream shop a bit away from city center. Worth visiting any time of year.

Went to Milan for a 4 days 3 nights trip and we had tried 7 different gelaterias there, and this is the best gelato we have tried. It is located a bit further from the city centre (tourist main attractions) and it took us some effort to locate this gelateria, but it is worth the travelling and searching. A great... More

Having heard all the stories of cars double parked just to buy a helping here, I joined the crowd and made a beeline for this place on a sweltering September day. Ordered the mango and coconut, while my wife had the mango and honeydew. It was very milky and bursting with flavors, but I think the Japanese gelato (particularly from... More

Indeed a great variety of what can be considered the best ice-cream in Milan! Good choice to go there in the afternoon, in the evening you must be patient, sometimes the cue is very long, but you surely will not be disappointed.
