The Real Italian Ice Cream Company

Surely no summertime visit to Bath can be ever complete without an ice cream. We had lunched on pizzas and then walked, and window-shopped, for about 45 minutes to end-up here. This ice cream parlour serves a really impressive variety of excellent, made-on-premises, gelatos. It is quite difficult to decide on which to order, but with queues behind you, you really do need to go-for-it, when you are at the head of the queue. My Partner had a single scoop Passion Fruit, and I had a two scoop; one Chocolate and one Raspberry. There is very limited seating here and no outside street patio (shame), so we stood around and ate rather than walking and eating. My Partner loved the texture, but the ice cream favour was too delicate and that wasn’t expected, so she was a bit disappointed. The flavours of my chosen ice cream were excellent with the raspberry particularly-so; being strong and slightly tart as I would have expected. The chocolate was also well flavoured, but I would have liked it to be a little less sweet; ideally the taste would have leaned towards a dark chocolate. Other than the above observations we enjoyed what we ate.

I'm not sure if they have new owners, as there has been a lovely redecoration. I live in Bath and always come here after being out for dinner but this time the service was awful. We weren’t welcomed when we walked in, the gentleman ignored us and let us wait. We could see he was on his own and was making a waffle but not even a hello, or I’ll be with you in a minute. He was on his own but there was only 2 other people in the store. When he had finished everything and came over there wasn’t an apology or a thank you for waiting just a what would you like. He then huffed and puffed around making our ice cream. He may have been having a hard day or struggling on his own if that’s the case I would have put sold out on the waffles sign to have made it easier that night. Coming from someone who has always supported this place it’s a shame, I’m disappointed in the service. Word of mouth is free and I have always brought friends, family here but sadly I’m not thinking of trying different ice cream parlours from now on.

A lovely day in Bath should have an ice cream…..and we did! We were happy to queue for a few minutes in the school half term to try this lovely ice cream. We chose the two scoop option for an amazing value of £4 each and, wow, such a huge ice cream. Coconut with passion fruit made a refreshing cone, we also had banana with peach, another tasty treat. How on earth does anyone do the 5 scoops for £7?

Visited this lovely place and was instantly welcomed welcomed by the staff. The place was nice and cosy and the Lotus Biscof crepe was out of this world.

Having breakfast here was like breakfasting in heaven. Delicious pancakes and crispy waffles was best start of a day. And absolutely unique gellato for desert was an ultimate sin.
