La Macelleria

This is a must visit when you are in this part of town. You will get quite possibly the best and most authentic gelato in Brisbane. The gelato is super fresh with the most amazing flavours. I felt bad as I was very indecisive as this was my first visit but the attendant was patient and super helpful talking about the different flavours and offered me taste tests. I ended up getting probably two of their staple flavours - Fior Di Latte and Bacio which had whole (not chopped or “flavouring”)hazelnuts in the gelato which was a welcome surprise. I found the pricing to be very reasonable, especially for the quality. $8.50 for the large cup which you could have up to 3 flavours, and at first you might think that the sizes are on the smaller side, they are deceptively big and the large would be more than enough for even the biggest sweet tooth. Overall this was a great experience with the quality food and service but also the shop itself is welcoming, and I love that you can see into the kitchen and watch the making process.

I honestly love this place so much and they have incredible stuff to choose from. The only reason I am giving two stars is because I had a bad experience with a product at no fault of anyone's, I just ordered 2 Italian hot chocolates, and the poor person behind the counter was getting absolutely smashed, so unfortunately the hot chocolates we got were really bad, super watery and clumpy. We ended up having to throw them both out. I come here as a treat occasionally and would happily change my review to five stars if next time I come in I could just get two Italian hot chocolates on the house to make up for it. I didn't want to bother the person behind the counter about it because they were alone and it was super busy for them.

One of the best authentic gelato shops I’ve visited in Brisbane! From first arrival, the one staff that was on was super friendly and didn’t mind our indecisiveness. I was a bit thrown off that all the ice cream is covered, so it’s a bit harder to visually see what you want. For even the smallest size, you can choose 2 flavours- I thought it was great to get to taste more than one. For what you get, it is a bit more on the pricey side- and the sizes are a bit deceiving (cup is smaller than outside length). However, I can’t complain because the taste and service was too good. I feel a sense of family and teamwork at this shop, and it makes me too feel welcomed! Hope to be back soon!

The shop has very efficient service. It also has two options for seating - inside and outside. The gelato is made locally. However there isn't a big variety of flavours. There are also only 3 sorbetti flavours which are vegan. The prices also vary by cup size (small to maxi) rather than by number of scoops.
