Review: The Best Gelato Brioche in Italy If you're in Italy and looking for the ultimate indulgence, a gelato-filled brioche is a must-try, and this place does it best. The brioche is perfectly soft and just the right amount of buttery to complement the rich, creamy gelato. Highly recommended!

Delicious traditional ice cream A perfect taste: not too sweet and creamy. I would recommend it to everyone - to try and ice cream and then to pass by Mennella pasticceria

It's a MUST to visit this ice cream store! After my son and wife discovered this little diamond, we went there every day! It looks like nothing from the outside, but as soon as you enter the extremely air-conditioned shop, you will be astonished! Homemade ice cream in all variations, colors and tastes. Homemade ice-waffles and lovely personal! Amazing. It's hard to give an advise which ice cream you have to taste, but go for the salted one - it looked like it was a new thing, because we could test it... If you are unsure, ask for a "test spoon" - they are kind and let you taste. Although none of the personnel spoke english, we got our ice creams every day! So go there and enjoy the italian gelato!
