Massimo's Italian Ice Cream in Shepway

If you want authentic Italian Ice Cream, served by friendly staff with a smile then look no further! So many flavours to choose from and all made freshly each day by Massimo himself. Top tip, get there early!

Friendly place,quick service, worth the walk Great choice of flavours, delicious ice cream! Reasonable price Highly recommend !

I once saw a lady buy 9 tubs of pistachio when they were closing for winter. She is my hero and I don't even like pistachio.

Amazing ice-cream - lots of choice of flavours and very reasonable price. A short walk to enjoy it with a view of sea. We'll be back to try more options!

Fantastic! Different flavours I’ve never seen anywhere, all delicious! A lovely person helped us choose flavours.

First time at the lovely ice cream, well gelato, store on Folkestone high street. Very nice with a range of flavours.

Simply the best ice cream you will eat Fresh, in season ingredients. Totally authentic Italian ice cream. Worth driving 20 miles for an ice cream!!!

This place caught our eye as we were walking past and so we popped in! Delightful lady running it and even the other customers gave complimentary remarks, as we chose our ice-creams. They were regulars, so knew their favourite flavours, which we happened to be picking. I chose banana and liquorice and they were both delicious, so rich and flavoursome! Definitely will be back in the near future. By the way, you can actually buy 2 different sized tubs to take home, which is a great idea.

The very best ice cream, reasonably priced for how amazing it is. Once you've had thiers all others will be ruined in comparison

Cannot rate this place enough! Been taking my children here for years and we know its summer when they open :-) The staff are always friendly and the ice cream its self is the best we have had. Reminds us of our Tenerife holidays! If you havent had a visit, you must check them out!

Mamma Mia, this is nice ice cream! Friendly owner, great choice and 22 of 24 flavours are gluten free as well

Great ice cream. Someone else said it’s the best in Kent. I have to agree. Tastes like traditional gelato and the staff were so friendly. Google said it was temporarily shut as they are shut during the off season but they were open by the time we visited in April so don’t believe Google!

This fabulous Italian gelateria is a real Folkestone treasure. Locals can be spotted buying large tubs of mixed flavours to take home. We have occasionally taken such tubs to friends’ houses for lunch parties, and it has always been rapturously received. It’s not open all week, except perhaps during the summer holidays, so check before you travel. For me, it’s the best ice cream outside Italy.

Best ice cream I've had in such a long time. It's soft & fresh and so many flavours to choose from! The chocolate mascarpone was delicious

My family and I came down for the day and come across this little ice cream shop… very happy! Ice cream was amazing my favourite was the black cherry ripple.. prices was excellent very friendly lovely lady that’s was working today will definitely be coming again! Definitely 5 stars from us

This is a gem of an ice cream establishment. Lovely owner and staff, and the gelato ice cream is so bloody good. Very well priced for the quality of ice cream, however I feel compared to some places, they could charge a bit more and I would be happy to pay it. Fantastic

I've wanted to come here for a while & so pleased I did. Top quality, all flavours made fresh every morning, reasonably priced, massive range of flavours, brilliant service. I had the 'plain chocolate' & the 'biscoff', thoroughly recommend both flavours, but the chocolate edged it for me, great intense deep chocolate flavour. No seating inside, but only a short walk down to sit on the Leas and enjoy with a view. You won't regret your visit! Can't wait to return!

I cannot say anything bad about Massimo. The ice cream was gorgeous, the staff were friendly and the prices were reasonable - less than expected for a seaside resort. We went on a hot summer’s day and got served quickly for the 5 of us....

Me and the mrs loves massimos I’ve cream, it’s the best about! The lady is always smiling behind the counter! I generally get upset when the mrs says I can’t get an ice cream because I’ll get fat.

We had a wonderful selection of ice cream's for all our wedding guests and everyone loved it! Great customer service through the ordering process and extremely tasty ice cream.

This shop has been in Cheriton Place for years now and the quality of the ice cream and the service of the staff is still impeccable.

I'm never disappointed with the range of flavours and the quality of the ice cream here, the staff are very friendly and helpful too.

This place often has a queue half way up the street. Thankfully not always as I hate queuing. Why? Because the Italian ice cream is absolutely outstanding, with a really interesting selection of homemade flavours. Pleasant service also, from people who truly love what they...

I was introduced to this fab place today. I cannot believe I didn’t know about this gem before! Absolutely delicious. I had coffee scoop and white chocolate. Omg. Truly incredible ice cream. I will return! And really reasonable

We have been getting our ice cream from Massimo's for over two years and they really are the top place to get your gelato itch scratched. The shop in the town is quite compact so no tables inside and since Covid 19 no benches outside....

The title says it all. Great choice of flavours of gelato and sorbet; reasonably priced (£3.30 for 3 scoops in a tub); nicely decorated/welcoming shop and friendly staff. The Amaretto gelato was particularly good.

100% the best icecream you have ever had .I take my son there and we both love the place .I over indulge but it's a weekly visit .wouldn't go anywhere else .If you dont visit here you are certainly missing out

After a lovely Vegan brunch at PEK we decided to buy Ices to eat while walking to our car 20 mins away. I had the lemon Sorbet, delicious. About £2 ish per cone.

Massimo's Ice Cream shop is tucked away in a Folkestone side street. It doesn't look fancy or partculularly prepossessing on the outside but step inside and the array of freshly made ice creams is a treat to behold. Prices are very competitive, you'd pay at...

We were in the area and wanted an ice cream and Massimo’s was closed but went back. It’s really worth the wait and the service was friendly and the star of the show was the ice cream. It’s fantastic.

You cannot visit the seaside without enjoying a proper ice cream-according to my six year old. I heard good things about massimos so we walked from sunny sands to massimos. She didn't half complain about the walk but once she got the ice cream in...

Excellent product, huge selection, great price. Off the main high Street, but definitely worth the effort. Only open for the season. Delicious!
