La Gelatiera in City of London, Westminster

There was a shirt wait to order but when I did it was fantastic! Great dark chocolate ice cream, and very good prices for central London. I’ll be back very soon, tysm <3

One of my favorite ice cream shops in London. I usually get their more traditional flavours like pistachio or hazelnut, which I think are always good tests of a gelato place. Do they taste like real nuts, or like artificial flavoring? In La Gelatiera's case, they are unmistakably made from real nuts, and they're delicious. Also note that they have some dairy-free sorbets, suitable for vegans. If you are skeptical of dairy-free ice cream, try their chocolate sorbet. I guarantee it will change your mind. I have always found the service there friendly and helpful. Inevitably, on a warm summer's night, there can be a queue out the door, but it tends to move quickly.

Lovely ice cream shop, quite small and not a lot of seating though. Several vegan options. I had the biscoff and it was really good! My husband also enjoyed his. Friendly service. Would return.

Sign says close at 22:00 and we got there at 20:30 and he said they were closed.very rude. Poor service. I did not appreciate the walk to find out they can’t commit to their hours.

La ragazza con i capelli bianchi licenziatela, non sa fa n'gelata e manco na creap le brucia tutte (You need to fire the girl with white hair, she can't make an ice cream or even a crepes, she burns them all !!!!!!

Went here after a trip to the theatre and the ice cream was delicious. The selection of flavours was really good and there was some unusual flavours that you do not usually see in an ice cream shop, which was nice!

Quite expensive...a small tub costs £4.60 albeit you can mix two flavours. We found the gelato slightly artificial tasting and not as smooth as it should be.

My wife and I stopped here after dinner for some gelato to walk around with. The scoops are huge and the gelato tastes great! The rosemary gelato is a unique and pleasant flavor although it was a bit much by the end. The chocolate gelato is rich but not overpowering.

Popped in for some gelato on a hot afternoon after taking in a play at Shakespeare's Globe. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very nice. The gelato was very good and hit the spot. Be sure to stop by here when you're on the South Bank.

5* taste with a large serving of beautifully crafted gelato - what more could you hope or ask for! Great, friendly service too.

Delicious gelato! Quick service. I got a small with strawberry and chocolate, which was more than enough for after-lunch dessert.

Loving the unusual basil and chilli gelato. It was rather spicy but lovely. Would love to see a basil and tomato ice cream flavour.

Little shop on a busy street. Would be easy to miss. Was very busy. Staff were lovely and allowed you to sample a flavour before purchasing. The pistachio gelato was lovely and the mango sorbet was nice and cold and sweet. It is very pricey at over £5 for a tub. But it’s London so that’s just how it is.

The ice cream here is incredible and the reason I keep coming back! The service is oddly bad though - they clearly never have enough staff so lines are really long then I assume because the staff are trying so hard to keep up they aren’t that pleasant (not that they need to be super friendly it’s just a bit off putting that they can be so abrupt!) I’d still say it’s definitely worth a visit though!

This is my family's favorite gelateria in London and possibly anywhere. Whenever we visit London we make a point of having gelato here at least once. It's always excellent and the staff is unfailingly friendly.

A brilliant stop for ice cream, felt so Italian and yet in the heart of London. ice cream was fab. Well done

This place satisfied our sugar fix, wowed our taste buds and totally exceeded our expectations. We went for desert and enjoyed a nutella waffle with caramel ice cream and chocolate drizzle as well as a crepe with chocolate drizzle, chocolate ice cream and whipped topping. The waffles and crepes are made fresh to order. The shop itself is very small with limited seating. Luckily a couple was leaving right as we got there so we were able to sit and enjoy!

Seriously good and not a rip-off. A reasonable size portion of exquisite ice cream. Good choice and excellent service ( in my case, dark chocolate with a hint of chilli... totally brilliant). Just around the corner from the Round House pub. Worth a try. Enjoy!

I'd heard so many great time things about this place so decided to give it a go. They are kind enough to let you try their ice creams. However the portions are tiny for alot of money. My favourite was the pistachio and chocolate. Ice cream is great but not somewhere I'd queue for.

Quality gelato but rude and impatient service. Quantity difference between small and medium is unnoticeable except for the actual cone. Flavours vary but they don’t maintain a reliable selection.

Small shop in the center of London with excellent gelato, many flavor choices, and a decent price. My wife had peanut butter w/ chocolate/caramel drizzle and I had strawberry and dark chocolate. Would absolutely go again if we are back in town!

Fantastic gelato! The staff were really friendly and kind. It was very busy on the night we visited, yet there was not a long queue, because service was very quick and exact. Would visit again

Excellent gelato particularly the peanut butter and salted caramel. The coffee and hot chocolate are great too. Delightful, friendly staff. We always try to visit when in the West End

Gorgeous gelato here - coconut and pistachio were perfection. A little pricey for the amount you get but to be expected so central. Quite a small venue but service was very good and efficient. Hit the spot after missing gelato in Italy!

Small venue but just the best ice cream I have ever tasted - pleasant staff and reasonable choice - not the cheapest - but we’ll worth it !

I went there with a good friend of mine and we loved gelato! People there are very very friendly thus very friendly service. The only criticism is the quantity very small for the price tag. But the bottom line is, we loved the gelato and...

Quick visit after eating out as we’d passed earlier and the queue was huge, One of the best ice creams we’ve had, three double scoop Salted Caramel cones, came to £15 so not cheap but in our opinion worth every penny, Will definitely come back...

Popped into this lovely place last Saturday evening for late night ice cream. The lady working that night was very friendly and the ice cream was amazing. Can’t recommend it enough!

Me and my fiancé didn’t know about this new ice cream shop and decided to give it a go... well I’m Italian and I can guarantee that the gelato is buonissimo!! Isabella and her colleague were very friendly and made us a super cono full...

Nice ice creams. I had pistachio, white chocolate, salty caramel and cheesecake. They were are pretty good.

Literally my favourite ice cream I visit every time I’m in London! The pistachio ice cream is to die for, really generous portions and friendly staff.

We went to the shop in Covent Garden last Saturday night and we had the pistachio sorbet , and the chocolate with chilli it was UNBELIEVABLE good , amazing 😉 well done . Ps waffles also sooooooooooo goood ! ❤️

I was really eager to bring my sister to La Gelatiera because I remembered the gelato there was really good. HOWEVER, after today, I swear I will never set foot there again. We told the girl we would like to have two mediums. The girl...

Visited the one near Covent Garden yesterday and cannot recommend it enough ! The orange and rosemary flavour is to die for!!!!! Best gelato by far !!! What a fantastic combination, didn't expect it to be sooooo delicious-totally addicted from the first "lick"! The stuff...

I have eaten gelato all over the globe. This gelato is exactly as it should be! Creamy, intense flavor and they change intenseflavoand and the flavors change constantly! I

Head towards Trafalgar Square or Covent Garden for some lovely creamy gelato! A small venue that always seems packed. Tasty ice cream taste the peanut butter one!

Average gelato, pistachio flavor is good but not surprising, chocolate flavor is just normal. Not impressive overall.

If you want ice cream, go somewhere else. If you want AMAZING gelato come to La Gelateria! This Gelateria regularly wins awards and for good reason. It’s delicious. I had their Nocciola (IGP Hazelnuts Tonda Gentile from Piedmont) as well as the Sicilian Pistacchio. The...

Excellent gelato with great choices and sorbets. Peanut butter and caramel is amazing! Pistachio is also excellent.

Stopped off here yesterday for an ice cream in the hot weather. Lovely ice cream and some unusual flavours. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

This is a cute little icecream place. We got the pineapple flavored icecream and it was superb! The taste is so pure and strong and fulfilling. Yummy in my tummy!

Went after theatre 4 nights in a row. Consistently excellent. Truly authentic, smooth, flavorful, wonderful gelato. One of the best in London. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff and a great variety of Ice Creams. Tasty too! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in London.

This is a “must” if you’re in the area as the variety of creative flavours were endless and they all looked very scrumptious. We all had the vanilla and we really recommend it.

Whilst walking around the Covent Garden area of London I fancied some ice-cream and so we looked out the original "La Gelatiera" in New Row. This is a small boutique ice-cream shop that has an interesting selection of flavours. I went for two scoops in...

Having been to Italy on several occasions and eaten my way across various gelato laden cities this is one of the best gelato places in the World never mind London or the UK! Not only is the gelato delicious but they have several vegan options....

One of the best spot in London for Italian gelato and prices are very reasonable too . Quite a nice selection of flavours as well as some unusual one . Everything taste good at this place .

The best ice-cream in London. The queue situation for purchasing needs addressing but really great flavours.

Loved this spot - such good flavors to choose from. Loved the melon flavor and the solid pour of gelato. This is a must visit spot in London.

From classics (chocolate, baccio, nocciola, pistacchio) to more original flavours (roasted peanut, chocolate and caramel; honey, rosemary and orange zests; or basil and chilli), you'll find lots to your taste. Some are vegans. We loved them and it was our second visit! Can't wait for...

Small gelato place and always busy, staffs are friendly. Provided seating & water so you can enjoy the ice cream. Good choices of different unusual flavours. Good price too!

We are recommended a visit to La Gelatiera by the doorman at our hotel and we’re not disappointed! Super flavours and delicious taste, highly recommend.

First time here at La Gelatiera and it is the best ice cream shop I have ever been to in my life. The flavours I had are soooooooo refreshing. The fruits ones are so refreshing and feel like you are at a tropical country. Absolutely...

Wandering past this shop on a quiet Sunday my wife and I thought we'd try what they were saying was the 6th best gelato in the world (?). We really weren't disappointed. A medium tub of 2 scoops was order of the day. One scoop...

A small place in the center of the city. Sometimes I'm quite doubtful of ice cream outside Italy, but this place convinced me 110%.

I have been in April with some friends and we really loved it. The venue is quite small and they have huge queues but believe me every single time waisted you will gonna be rewarded with the amazing gelato. Probably, you will would like to...

For such a small place the ice cream and coffees were just amazing, lots of flavor to choose from and all taste delicious they have lots of variety of coffee and hot chocolate waffles and crepes. The minute I taste their ice cream it become...

Sunny Easter Sunday in London and we stumbled across this gorgeous little shop with a small que that just happened to sell the most gorgeous galeto we have ever tasted. we went for Bacio (hazelnut and chocolate) and Easter egg. Devine!!

I would recommend you try your flavour before ordering because, to say the least, the flavours are off the wall and for us most are far too sweet. But if you like them that way, then you will not be dissapointed. Service pleasant enough just...

Went here on a family visit to London. Staff were very nice and it looked nice though the seating was limited. I had basil and chilli ice cream and it was absolutely delightful.

We have been to the finest in Italy ... But few really pull off a true vegan which compares to the best gelato. This place truly hits the target .... Amazing.

Huge portion and very tasty ice cream. Visited in the afternoon and many gelato tastes were almoast finished.

You can notice the place by the long queue that stretches outside the shop!!! There's a good reason for the queue - the gelato is exceptional and the waiters/owners are super friendly. They ensure that they give you ample samples and recommendations. Serving size is...

There was so many delicious flavours, bold flavours and sweet ones. My ice cream was grand and I’ll be happy to go back soon.

You know when you spring for a small scoop and they give you a small scoop? You feel disappointed. Well you won't be disappointed at La Gelatiera. I ordered vanilla and it was delicious and the portion was BIG. I am so greedy I ate...

Excellent gelato close to Covent Garden. Lots of unusual flavours like Purple potato with pecans and Spicey butternut squash as well as regular flavours such as chocolate. Portions are very generous and staff are helpful. A destination in itself.

Plenty of options of great tastily gelato. Good coffee too. We were greeted by friendly staff. Highly recommend to try the dark chocolate gelato.

I am a person who can’t eat Ice Cream so finding somewhere where I can eat some iced desert is awesome and the fact it’s in London is even better! The chocolate sorbet was amazing and will definitely visit again and I have been back...

Exceptional gelato in a very nice location with excellent atmosphere and very friendly service and reasonable price

Lovely waffle cone, good selection of flavours, pistachio and a caramel/chocolate two scoop for me and I enjoyed it immensely. Then I went for the pint. Good gelato, can't go wrong here.

Went in for a coffee because we liked the look of independence about it. The coffee was perfect with a choice of 2 different roasts. The service was brilliant so we stayed and had an ice cream. A good selection of unusual flavours and very...

Very cute shop - small and cozy in a very good way. Nothing amazing with regards to the gelato but the service is fantastic. Great people and music.

I would highly recommend visiting this ice cream shop for a coffee and some of their amazing home made ice cream. A rare gem of London!

A small place, not far from Leicester sq., nice and cozy, with a very friendly service. The taste reminded me of a good Italian icecream. Very tasty. Highly recomended.

Bacon, basil, rosemary, if you are into exciting new ice cream flavors and value high quality ingredients and artisanal preparation, this is a Must Visit place

..the best ice cream in London, it's true... my favourite flavour is hazelnut, but you can choose whatever you want and it'll be the best choice.

....and when I asked why there was so many vegan options, I was told that everyone wants vegan. Fine. Except... as I was leaving I heard the three girls behind the counter b****ing about me in Italian. Not fine. At all. Particulary as I'm bilingual...

Wonderful ice cream. Great flavours but the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. Not only ice cream but absolutely worth a visit. Great staff.

Popped into this place with my wife late on a Friday night and very much enjoyed it. There were a few people in the queue and ABBA’s greatest hits was blasting out of the speakers, but the wait was a few minutes at most. We...

A return visit for us, this time with some friends. We had to remember where it was, but once we did, joined the long (but fast enough moving) queue. A great menu of flavours, including some quite unique ones - each and every one great....

I searched around London for the highly related dairy free ice creams. This place had a high rating. It wasn’t what I was expecting but nevertheless it was good

Revisted 12 months on from a first visit on a 30+ degrees evening - wasn't disappointed. The flavours were fantastic but the amount in each cup varied a bit too much - mine was by far the smallest and I was paying!! Don't plan on...

Finding a good quality gelato in London is not that easy. This one is comparable to a good quality home made Italian ice cream. Dark chocolate in particular is really delicious. Highly recommended.

Work meeting on a warm day so decided to try this place. I arrived first and queue was extremely long. It’s a very small place with only a few seats so I kept my eye out and as soon as a table became free I...

Without a doubt my favourite ice cream shop in London. I have taken a number of friends here over the years and they all loved it too - it never disappoints! Great range of flavours and vegan options including the amazing Sicilian Pistachio sorbet.

Absolutely amazing gelato. Such creative and delicious flavors. The staff was really great too. Cannot recommend high enough.

totally delicious ice cream and so hard to choose from all the gorgeous flavours which were many and plentiful.

Not sure whether this is the best ice cream in London, but it is certainly delicious! Between three of us we tried: Ripe banana Dark chocolate Amarena and meringue Pineapple Nocciola Roasted PB with caramel and dark chocolate All flavours were fab. Unfortunately they brought...

We had the pistachio vegan ice cream 🍦 very delicious and friendly service. Being vegans we were impressed with the choices available for different vegan flavours. Award winning gelato. Place is tiny but I always manage to get a seat.

We came here over bank holiday in May - so hot outside but so cool in the shop! Lovely welcome by staff, friendly and polite, offered taste samples as I was undecided. Delicious creamy gelato, with a great mix of flavours. We sat in, as...

I am a fan of good ice-cream and looked up on the internet which was supposed to be the best gelateria in London and 'La Gelatiera' popped up. I cannot say that this result was wrong. Although we were only 2 people and we tasted...

Gorgeous stuff here at this hidden Covent Garden location. Everything we tried was great. We went large (£5.50 for 4 flavours and shared between two - recommended for great value). We had the honey, rosemary and zest; dark chocolate; basil and chilli, and the mint....

Visited London at the end of May. Fantastic spot for gelato. We ordered the Basil & Chilli and Stracciatella. Both were excellent. Friendly staff and they also have gluten free sugar cones.

Gelato buonissimo! (I'm Italian so I have tried a few ;) ). I had a medium (£4.5) cup, with nocciola and pistacchio. Loved it! The staff is very nice! Will visit again!

...artisanal gelato with flavours (what a mouthfeel!!) that are there to kill for, with counter service by Maja that is warm, friendly, and delightful as the gelato that she serves...!! An ice cream experience altogether a delight...!

Easily the best pistachio gelato I have tasted. Not just that but the other flavors were unique and the service excellent. My friend and I were unsure of what to choose but the manager didnt rush us and kept giving us different flavors to taste,...

Downgraded It use to the best But now it is very good Service very good Prices moderate Location hidden gem

I have been to La Gelateria several times and it never disappointed me. The gelato is delicious! Creamy and flavourful, almost like in Italy. All the staff is very friendly as well, Eleonora really knows how to serve customers. This is only a 4 star...

I eat at all the ice cream places inLondon and this place is thee place for nut flavoured ice creams with the pistachio being the best.

The gelato is made fresh daily on the premises, and it is packed with flavour. This has become a regular haunt, I've been here with a large group, a few friends and the hubby (more than a few times) and on all occasions it has been...
