Leonardini Gelato Boutique in Lancaster

This is assolutamente fantastico, the staff was lovely and the gelato tasted amazing with loads of different flavours. Would definitely recommend

An amazing business. The fruit sorbets are to die for and the service is utterly amazing and friendly.I come here after school as a Friday treat and it sometimes makes my week!The gentleman at the front is always happy to see me and they always have a delectable selection of gelato.Out of my 4 years of frequenting this establishment I have not been served a single sup-par or even mediocre ice cream;the quality is always top-notch.This is an incredible place and a must-visit for anyone coming to Lancaster.

It is a small place, well located in the center of Lancaster, very close to the emblematic Castle of the city. Their ice creams are spectacular, similar to the ones I tried in Rome and Pisa.

Lovely gentleman. Amazing authentic homemade italian ice cream. Its a must to give it a try when your next in Lancaster :)

Perfection every time! Delicious flavours, fantastic service, great value... there's always something new to try and they're all incredibly tasty.

came here with a friend on a whim and was met by the loveliest, jolliest chap who went above and beyond to make our day - and great ice cream. really cheered us up on what was otherwise a dreary but humid day. will be back!

The ice cream was amazing the gentleman that served was was so lovely and passionate about the delicious ice creams

The service was incredibly friendly,you get a huge amount of ice cream for the £3 one,and the food itself is in another tier!The fruit sorbet far exceeds any fine dining,and is a taste sensation!11/10; will visit again! Written by Rowan,11 years old.

This place is definitely a hidden gem! The man who works there is so nice and made us feel so welcome and special. He went above and beyond during our visit and the gelato was so nice and authentic. would 100% recommend.

If I made an itinerary for someone spending one day in Lancaster this place would be on it. Genuine homemade gelato and cakes served in a very pleasant small cafe, most often by the lovely Italian gent who runs it. The lemon pie ice cream is very special but there is a good range to choose from, usually with a vegan option too. It is probably a bit on the pricey side but worth it for the genuine article.

What an amazing place! Such a lovely atmospheres and the Italian chappy serving us was so pleasant and kind, highly recommend a visit

Just visited for the first time today and I wasn’t disappointed!!! I’ve been wanting to have a true gelato for a while especially on a lovely warm day… Service is brilliant and the gelato - divine. Think I may just have found my not so guilty pleasure .

The gelato here is beautiful, and the place itself is so cosy and welcoming. We've popped in a couple of times and hope to again soon. I hope they'll be able to weather the lockdowns local businesses have had to contend with this year. It's a real privilege to have somewhere like this so close to home.

This afternoon was my first ever visit to Leonardini’s and as a former resident of The Monte Parioli district in Roma I suddenly felt that I was back home. I ordered a cappuccino and it was simply the BEST cappuccino that I have tasted in the U.K. I will make this a regular stop on shopping trips in Lancaster from now on!

Delicious gelato and amazing coffee which comes with a little free cake - good prices and a great deal for what you get

Great gelato and great ownership. I love it and i will come weekly to enjoy a nice dessert! No wonder they won the best Gelato of UK in 2017!

Popped in with our 4 year old for an ice cream. She got a cone with a scoop of lemon meringue flavour...and a big dollop of fresh raspberry sauce. She loved it and the Italian coffee I had was the best I've tasted in a long time.. served with a delicious mini choc cake. Lovely atmosphere and a friendly helpful owner. Highly recommended.

The best espresso we've had in a very long time! Served with a little warm chocolate cake and a smile.

Wonderful gelato/Italian ice-cream . Astonishing variety of flavours, made on the premises using only seasonal ingredients . After being declared winners one of the judges said "I have been an ice-cream taster for 20 years and your vanilla is the best I have ever had" Also genuine Italian coffee - but limited space ! Love it.

What a lovely place and a fab owner - tasty Italian coffee and delicious home made chocolate cake with cherries and cherry sauce - a quirky and unique and pretty cosy place - so much more interesting than a Costa - lots of lovely authentic Italian food goods to buy too - it was pretty chilly outside and warm and welcoming inside - they do amazing home made ice creams too

The title says it all. Walk past the bigger chains with industrially produced ice cream and come here for a relatively small selection of excellent and authentic handmade Italian ice cream. Two scoops at 3.50 GBP seemed a bit pricey but was worth it.

Intrigued by the fact that this geletaria had won awards and fancying an ice cream I went in. I had the icecream of the day in a tub but hearing I wanted a coffee also and was staying in the shop the ice cream was transferred into a lovely glass and small palmiers were added. I had a macchiato and along with this came a small warm chocolate brownie style cake.Also you get a choice of topping for your ice, I had dark chocolate, the toppings are in warming pots and the chocolate was awesome.

Thank goodness a recent craving of ice cream brought us to Leonardinis.. I mean the gelato here is just phenomenal :) Both times I have been they have had something different to chose from and both times I’ve been so spoilt for choice it has taken me longer than it should to choose! This time the Twix and Cream and Vegan friendly raspberry and mango sorbet won me over and once again I was not disappointed! Especially since they drizzle it in warm melted Nutella! Open till 8pm aswell for anyone fancying an evening sugar fix :)

Excellent ice cream with some interesting flavours. Very clean premises and the staff were very friendly. It's a pity that the portions are very small. £2.50 for the smallest cone and the one scoop barely covered the top of the cone. In the recent hot weather we have tried a number of ice creams at various locations. Have to say all of them were cheaper and gave larger servings.

Popped in early on a Sunday evening. Service was quite friendly and helpful. You could tell then truly liked their products and were glad to serve well. The gelato itself was quite good. Love the fact they offer different toppings (heated chocolate, Nutella, etc.) on their ice cream.

This gelateria offers a perfect mix of tradition and innovation! They combine traditional Italian recipes with awesome ingredients. Pisco sour and Dulce de leche are my favourites. They bring the best of South America to Lancaster! Lovely staff, excellent gelato!

We love going to Leonardini’s. The gelato is delicious and the flavours are original and different. There are also a variety of sauces to choose from. Even better than the gelato though, are the staff. Leonardini’s is a family-run business and they are super friendly. You can guarantee service with a smile, which is very important to me. There are always vegan options, which doesn’t bother me, but I know is important to other people.

We had a voucher to spend and came for a coffee one afternoon. The home made macaroons were a bit stale.. the coffee was ok and milkshake was good but wouldn’t rush back.

My subject says it all really. I live nearby and visit whenever I can afford to do so, and their offering never fails to impress me. The family has been making gelato for three generations, and in fact set up the first Italian gelato place in Chile; then returned to Italy and finally, to our great benefit, settled in Lancaster. So a visit here is an opportunity to practice Spanish or Italian while you decide what treat to have. As you can imagine, these people are totally committed to the highest possible quality and take care of everything from the source of their ingredients (fresh, locally produced) to the way in which the product is served. You can really taste the difference.

One of the best ice creams I have ever had! I had Limoncello (Lemon liquor) and Lemon cheesecake. I would definetely recomend going here, however, they do open a little late sometimes

Such a lovely little ice cream shop. We stumbled on it after refusing to pay the ridiculous dessert prices in a local chain restaurant. There are seats inside and the gelato is unbelievably good. We had the coffee and walnut and it was fantastic with hot chocolate sauce on the top. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Very warm welcome from true artisans. A good selection of freshly made gelato. We enjoyed the salted caramel which was yummy. Have just read they have won the THE BEST GELATERIA IN ENGLAND in the English Italian Awards 2017
