Giggi Gelateria Italian ice cream in Poole

Had salted caramel and it did no disappoint, nice cone and service, great gelato five stars on all accounts, no debate whatsoever

I don’t know if it’s run by the same people but there is one in Swanage on the corner of Victoria Ave and Shore Road, not 100% about road names but it’s on a corner facing the sea, opposite the little pier.

Went to get some ice cream to find it’s no longer there. Just a heads up really to save you from wasting time heading down there.

Cute little place by the harbour. Lots of choice of flavours and very friendly staff, would stop by here again if in Poole.

The best ice cream I have ever tried and especially the pistachio and the cherry amaretto. Will visit again.

Loved the chocolate vegan ice cream here. It was amazing. Lots of gluten free and vegan options as well in this cafe. Loved the courgette and avocado cake. Prices are very good. Highly recommended.

Fab ice creams, plentiful portions, good flavours, good prices, central location, clean tables, friendly server.

Fantastic ice cream served by pleasant and helpful staff. So many flavours, all of them sounding and looking delicious. Chocolate and coconut a good recommendation.

The shop is very inviting. There is a good choice of icecream, made to a great quality. There is also the choice of cones or tubs. Wish I'd got a tub with extra scoops!

An amazing selection of the best Italian ice cream i have tasted in a long time.Very difficult to choose as they all looked very tempting.

The shop in Poole only opens in the summer unfortunately, their main shop in 10 Burlington Arcade, Bournemouth is open all year round. But I love the Poole shop because of the friendly atmosphere and the location, being close to all the amenities at Poole Quay. A real treat to go to after a summer day exploring Poole harbour by boat with it's many islands and other attractions.

Amazing icecream! Try the pistaccio one, a just a little more expensive but definitely worth the price!! Love it and always go with pleasure!

Wide choice of excellent ice cream and sorbets, drinks also available, friendly service plus a few tables outside

Some of the best quality ice cream I have ever had from a little place over looking the quay. Good range of flavours and drinks.

Myself and my partner popped into Gigi's Poole on Monday for and ice cream and ending up staying 15 minutes or so chatting to the lovely manager. He let us sample as many as we liked until we made our final choice. The atmosphere was bright, airy and open and we would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We had already been for ice-cream after an Italian meal, but my Dad had popped over to look at the flavours and got chatting to the lovely manager. He let us try a small spoon to compare with what we had just had, to entice us back next time. Well the coconut was so amazing that I ended up having another ice-cream, as did my Dad after trying the cherry. My teenage daughter is avoiding dairy and tried the strawberry sorbet which she loved, so she also ended up having a scoop. The gelato is slightly creamier than ice-cream but I have tasted some that is a little to sickly, this however is lovely and tasty, would definitely go back again.

I regularly visit this cafe and have never been disappointed by the delicious ice cream and fantastic coffee. The service goes that extra mile. My granddaughter's favourite outing always seems to include a pitstop here!

I have visited this great cafe many times when I was on holiday with my family and each time the ice cream was excellent! I would recommend the cherry amaretto gelato for anyone thinking of visiting.

Don't think of going anywhere else! They have amazing flavours and the friendliest staff (grazie Luciano!). I have 2 favourite flavours: fruit of the forest sorbet and Giggi (cookies & cream) but my brother likes salted caramel and melon sorbet. Great ice cream, lovely staff and smoothest coffee for mum and dad too. Try it!!!

If you want the best go here!! Friendly staff and very reasonable and the ice creams are to die for. It's definately worth going out your way for, and has a place to sit outside.

The most amazing gelato and friendly happy service. Let our 3 year old try a little to make sure she liked it! (He didn't think she'd like the lemon but she did!)

A taste of Italy on Poole High Street. My old dear recommended this place as we walked past and we all loved it!! Great flavour ice cream and great service!

fantastic service and truly wonderful ice cream make this a poole must go place. very much recommended for proper gelato

Having dropped into Giggi's on Poole High Street, we were amazing at the selection and value for money of the ice cream in store. The lovely young gentleman inside made our visit very special as he helped us pick and choose which ice cream flavour would be best for us. This particular gentleman is a credit to the store and the ice cream inside is amazing as well!

Looked up best vice cream in Poole and up came Giggi's. Small but lovely selection of flavours. Enough to go back to work through the menu over a few days though! Richenzo ( sorry about spelling).told us what was in each ice cream and checked we were not allergic to any of the ingredients.

A warm welcome, genuinely fantastic ice cream full of flavour and great coffee served with a personal touch

Dropped by and you can certainly taste a difference. Great service. Quite expensive compared to other ice cream shops but as they say you get what you pay for.

Me, my hubby and daughter have been here 3 times now, and I've never had a bad meal, if you ask for a waffle you get a big size waffle loaded with loads of fruit, ice cream, and sauce, what more could you ask for, if you feeling a bit blue and it's pouring down outside, going to Gigi's cheers you up, we feel like big fat pigs afterwards but who cares, we love it, it's a great place for a treat.

This is the place for coffee and icecream in Poole. Especialy when Luciano is working. He really know how to put the edge on a coffee and icecream. Im a regular cutomer and recomend any one visiting Poole to try this place out! Ciao :)

With the temptation of free tasters, I got sold on getting the Amaretto and Cherry - what a flavour! Great value and definitely worth a visit!

E' un posto molto carino e Il gelato è ottimo. Personale molto gentile e accogliente. I posto e meraviglioso vicino al mare... Vi invito a visitarci...

Love visiting GIgi's for the peanut butter ice-cream + the other huge amount of flavours they have.

This tiny venue offers a great selection of the best ice cream and its only £2.30 (I think) for a double cone. Our family favourites include the pistacchio, coconut and Giggi flavour which has pieces of chocolate in it! If you don't have such a sweet tooth the sorbets are lovely, they're not ice-y like you get at some places but really refreshing fruit flavours. If you haven't tried Giggi's you are missing out!

Extremely tasty ice cream with a big selection of flavors served by friendly staff.

Try the pistachio flavour...this ice cream is top notch.definitely worth the money instead f paying for a nasty whippy icebreaker or one from local super market..

Having long held the view it is impossible (at he least not easy) to find proper Italian ice cream outside Italy, it was a wonderful surprise to find this in Poole when we visited. Small shop with approx 24 different flavours on offer but the 4 we tried were delicious. Pistachio, Coffee, Peanut Butter and Salted Caramel were all terrific. It boasted on the window that they were voted 2nd best Ice Cream Palour in Britain. I need to find the 1st then. Anyone any ideas where it is?

Omg the best ice cream I,ve ever tasted it was so nice we all had different one out of this world . Well done

In the recent hot weather I needed a nice cool drink! The milkshakes here are just amazing!!! Loving the fact they have the loyalty stamp! I know have the milkshakes all the time! The ice cream is soooo nice! Amazing flavours! Never ever had a bad experience there! Yummy!!!!!

This Ice cream parlour has the most gorgeous ice cream in the UK and the best thing is they do a take away pack so you can take some home with you well worth the money 😀

This is only a small ice cream parlour the kind of place you could easily overlook but don't, The ice cream is out of this world the best in Poole, So many diffrent flavours, And the coffee not bad to.

По дороге от автобусной станции Пул до набережной внезапно захотелось мороженого - и проблема быстро решилась. Все очень вкусно и качественно.

Giggi's ice cream is always excellent & is usually the first place I think of when I want ice cream!

This is a small place but packed with flavour. There are so many flavours to choose from and different to any you will find elsewhere. The service was excellent. They also do coffee and milkshakes. There is some outside seating to enjoy your purchases.

A tiny little ice cream parlour on the High Street towards the old town. It's quite easy to miss, but well worth seeking out. The ice creams looked lovely, but it was milkshake we were after and it was so good! Loads of flavours to choose from, maybe a little pricey, but worth every pound (the calories too)!

Best ice cream outside of Italy, great large café area and child friendly. We will definitely be back, might even investigate the ice cream cake!

Found this place after browsing tripadvisor and glad I went. Quite possibly the nicest ice cream I've ever had. Was cheeky and went three scoop (it was my lunch after all) Salted Caramel (nice) Giggi's (nicer), Peanut Butter (Absolutely Gorgeous) if only there was a Giggi's Gelato shop near me! When I'm down Bournemouth/Poole later in the year will definitely visit again.

I had hoped to see Giggi's open again during my latest trip to poole. When I arrivedI walked through the hughstreet and found it closed - i was most disappointed.

Ice cream here is always good and milkshakes although they could do with more flavours or because of lack of space they could change around the flavours as the only negative point is always seeing the same flavours.

Great to see GiGi's in Poole, always a great coffee, def worth a visit, and to boot a great choice of gelato. I know its in a small unit that lends itself to better weather, lets hope you find a bigger and more accommodating premises so we can fully enjoy your style and hospitality. The Bournemouth shop still remains a weekly visit for the same reasons. Keep up the good work and quality, matched with excellent service.

we had great milkshakes and ice cream from here when we were here, could be opened for a bit longer in the evening would make it better.

lovely ice cream loads of unusual flavours spoiled for choice, I opted for trifle flavour-delicious!.

Giggi's in Poole has been our ice cream go-to all summer this year. It's in a great location on the High Street not far from the Quay, lovely outdoor seating, great service and of course fantastic range of incredibly tasty ice cream! I think I have eaten my way through the whole menu and I was never disappointed! I have yet to find better ice cream than Giggi's. I recommend Giggi's to anyone!

We found the ice cream shop after reading reviews on trip advisor - we weren't disappointed it's the best ice cream ever we couldn't decide so had a taster. the staff were very helpful. The portions are just right and the flavours are lovely!!! We even found the Bournemouth shop the next day and tried even more of the flavours - definitely worth a visit

As a visitor to Poole Quay you have the option of eating Mr Whippy type stuff on the front or making a short walk up the High Street to have some genuine Italian style Gelato. Great range of flavours, and decent pricing and portions. Cannot walk past without giving into temptation!

Since visiting Florida years ago I have never found an ice cream with peanut butter flavour - until - my wife planned a surprise visit to Giggi on Poole high street.

We had visited the cafe last year. Was in the area for a business trip, thought of visiting the place again. I surely wasn't disappointed. Amazing new flavours, my favourite macchiato and the same friendly atmosphere. The staff remembered us, it was worth the visit.

Me and a few friends go here every saturday not only for the amazing ice cream and milkshakes! The lady that serves us is always so helpful and so happy! Without a doubt the best ice cream ive ever had!! The only bad thing is i can never choose between all the fantastic flavors they have!!!

Absolutely incredible ice cream and the friendliest service, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for my lemon sorbet!

Having sampled ice cream across the UK we can say with confidence that this ice cream is the best anywhere.

great ice cream and given that it is in the high street it is worth eating main course lunch elsewhere and then heading here for the dessert. Would like to have had more flavours - about 12 on offer - but the ones we chose, Coconut and Vanilla, were wonderful.

Lots of choice and friendly service. Enjoyed my coffee ice cream and if i weren't going for lunch I would of had more

Fantastic variety of flavours all made by the owners, they definitely know their ice cream! Absolutely full of flavour, we had the mint choc, coffee and crunchy, at £1.90 per scoop excellent value. Can't wait to re visit!

Still can't believe we came across this little parlour. There are plenty of different flavours to choose from, including sorbets and ice cream. We both had chocolate and pistachio and we couldn't believe the flavours! I am sure they are all nice, but I would definitely recommend the chocolate and /or the pistachio. The ice cream is smooth, creamy and packing italian flavour.

What a find. Nice flavours, very different to your usual ice cream parlours .. Warning - all flavours are unique .. Make sure u try a small spoon before u go for a scoop ..

kids rated milkshakes-best ever.Iwould rate the coffee ice-cream,best ever.Coffee top drawer,forget the chain coffee shops.

We popped in to do some shopping and I don't usually go this far down the High Street but wow what a gem! My friend and I sat out in the sun at the little tables with our milkshakes and we could have been in Italy! Yummy!! Smooth!! Creamy!! Tasty!! I had 2 scoops of strawberry and 1 vanilla and Suze had 2 strawberry 1 coconut. They were both rich and creamy and full of flavour! We will be back! Grazie!

Arrived in Poole 21st June and was welcomed with glorious sun ever since...found this place on day two and was instantly wowed and I have been back since. Fantastic little place sercing the bwst ice cream around anywhere! Owners shouls be very proud!!

We always made a special trip to Giggi's Gelateria in Bournemouth whilst visiting, before we moved down here. There are so many different flavours of ice cream to try, and every one is just as delicious as the next! I'm often tempted to go for the two scoop option, but really one scoop is more than enough. Very reasonable prices for high quality ice cream, and served with a smile!

My fiancé and I have visited a few times now. The service is always with a smile, and if you are unsure of a new flavour they always offer a free sample.

my fiancee took me there and l wasnt thinking anything of it but the rum n raisin ice cream l had was simply the best!!! lm definately going back next time l come to Poole, its a shame l dont live local.

I will always go out of my way to visit this place... So many flavours to choose from, I 100% recommend this place to everyone

My 2 sisters loved this place and begged the staff to open a branch or two in Scotland! Having tried the gelato in Bournemouth earlier in the day they could not contain their delight when they seen the little kiosk in Poole. Pity they couldn't take some home(to Scotland) with them. Full flavoured ices and delicious coffee, friendly staff what more is there to say? Nothing me thinks.

I think, Giggi Gelateria is best ice cream shop in Bournemouth with its delicious tastes and warm environment. Ice cream is very delicious with its wide range of flavours and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended!

The best ice cream you can imagine all freshly made with a vast range of flavors. A friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop

'I´ve never been to a better place for ice cream. With a warm welcome from friendly friendly staff Giggi´s is a must-try, peanut butter flavour is simply out of this world, JUST GORGEOUS!!!. These ice creams have nothing to do with the standard ice cream selections you tipically find in other ice cream shops. Fully recommended.

Quite simply the best ice cream you can get in this part of the world. Every flavour I have tasted is top notch. The 0% fat sorbets are a particular favourite, But don't feel bad by being tempted into the others, they are definitely worth it. And all home made, who could ask for more?

Everytime a cross the High Street I just can't no stop!

A trip here is a must! So many flavours to choose from. You can sample new ones you haven't tried and the staff are lovely. Highly recommended!!

We were on a holiday, and we discovered this small beautiful coffee/gelato parlour. They have the most amazing ice cream and the coffees are one of a kind. Freshly brewed and rarely you get a perfect macchiato. Most of the place you get a cappuchino in a small cup. We made it a point to go there every day that we were there. We were and will always look forward to visiting Giggi's again as the customer service was excellent. The staff were forever smiling and very engaging and they remembered us every time we visited. Highly recommended.

I live in Birmingham and have been told about this place...especially about the Peanut Butter Ice Cream!! On my visit to Poole, I went here and asked after the peanut butter ice cream...but they hadn't got any!! :-(

An excellent ice cream parlour with a great selection of ice creams. There is a small sitting area outside which is handy, but on a sunny day the 2 minute walk to the sea front to look at the Sunseekers is perfect!!

Love this place. Ice cream to die for, especially the coconut :)

I have loved that they have opened another parlour in poole highstreet, and pop in on a regular basis. Gorgeous italian ice cream with so many flavours! I always have to go in and the staff are very chatty and friendly!

We discover this little ice-cream shop on our way down to Poole harbour and both said after lunch we should check it out if not only to take a silly picture of me stood next to the large ice-cream that enticed you in from a long way up the high street which ever way your walking!!! Well true to our word we went back, the counter was beautifully displayed with lots of variety and after much deliberation with the very friendly staff we had a scoop and a cappuccino each, whilst waiting for the coffees the staff where very engaging realising we where from out of town they asked us about our holiday and made us feel very welcome! We took our delicious ice-cream and coffee down to the harbour side, and both commented on how good customer service really is the key!! Would recommend this little galateria to anyone going into Poole is not as close to the harbour side as one would like but 10/10 for quality, service and staff, well done!! We wish you all the success you deserve!

Walking down Poole High Street we encountered the most wonderful Gelateria with the best Italian ice cream we've ever tasted in UK. There were numerous flavours ranging from the familiar to the special Giggi flavour. Absolutely gorgeous and worth a visit. Highly recommended.
