Gelateria Gondola

The best gelato I’ve ever had!
The stand-​out factor about gelato here is that it is fresh — and you can taste the freshness. Made on-​site daily, the flavours are regularly changing with some favourites regularly available. They never keep a batch for longer than two days. The service is very friendly and helpful. You can try any of the flavours — and often as the names are in Italian, you will need them to translate it for you, which really adds to the experience and gives you a taste of Italy in the North Shore. The uniforms are cute too!
Some flavours that surprised me were the chocolate sorbet (which tastes amazingly like a rich chocolate mousse despite there being no cream or milk content in it) and the licorice (I am not normally a fan of licorice, but this was a whole different licorice experience, one that was actually bearable!)
I’ve recommended Gelateria Gondola to so many people, and taken many friends here — no one has ever been disappointed, and neither will you! :)

Wow! Black currant gelato and strawberry gelato were amazing! Next time I’m going for banana Nutella and marscapone flavours. If you’re brave, try the Taro flavour (apparently a vegetable gelato??!)

Love this place! The gelato is, in my opinion, the best in Sydney. The staff are super friendly and patient for those deciding on one of their delicious flavours. I especially recommend the yogurt cliege flavour, yogurt and sour cherry for those who don’t want their gelato too sickly sweet. Gelato made fresh on site every day, with the usual Venetian classics and great new flavours premiering.

Im no expert with gelato but this place tastes great and the service is good! I still have to try the crepes and other stuff i just cant get over the pistachio gelato. I cant get over it! Why does it taste so damn good! Why!

I am a fan!
When it comes to Gelato, I’m no expert.
So I have to use a simple formula because it’s the only way I can find the best places so I don’t waste precious food real estate in my stomach.
It’s real simple and you can pretty much figure it out after the first visit.
Here’s my formula:
1. Make sure you can see the Gelato machine — if they’re making it fresh, they’re not afraid to show it. Also, make sure it’s the kind that «pounds» rather than just «mixes.» It creates a different texture (and may not be to your liking if you’re not used to it) but it also means they can put in all sorts of different ingredients that you’ve never thought of… which brings me to point two…
2. Look to see if they have flavors that you’ve never really seen before because they are always experimenting — if they are passionate and are willing to back up the words «Artisan,» this is a must.
3. Talk to them a bit — see if they are Italian from Italy. I’m not saying that just because you’re from Italy, you’re a Gelato expert but if you add the other two criteria from above, and then wolla! You’ve got incredible Gelato waiting for you!
4. Taste it! Try the different flavors and marvel at the delights. If you’ve made it this far, it can’t be wrong!!!
So what are my favorite flavors? Taro is awesome, lychee coffee (?) is incredible… it really depends. I find myself tasting and see what I feel like every time.
They also make delightful crepes and real Italian coffee… the first of the kind in Sydney, according to my Italian-​trained barista wife.
Oh the tastiness of it all!
…now only if my wife would just let me go (I went too much in one month and now I’m not allowed to go for a while…)

Excellent! Love this place. Lots of flavours. Friendly staff. moderately priced. Better than Messina!
