We went here on Saturday, I asked the lovely woman working what vegan options she recommended and she told me she recommends the pistachio and hazelnut coffee flavours, I got both and wow. I came back the next day to get it again, and unfortunately they were out of the vegan pistachio flavour so I tried mango and strawberry, also very delicious, but not the combo I hoped for! We went back the next day and they had a sign saying the were closed for Monday and Tuesday, unfortunately we left Monopoli this morning before they opened again, so now I will just be dreaming about the vegan pistachio and hazelnut coffee gelato I had for a long time!

The pistachio ice cream here is the best I ever had. It has such an intense and rich flavor that is complemented by salty hints in every bite. I had dark chocolate and hazelnut for the first time I came, but the flavors were simply outclassed by the magnificence of the pistachio ice cream. I returned 2 days later and got a large cup of pistachio only and never looked back.

I've tried many gelato/ice creams in my life in Italy and abroad. This place takes the cake. Easily the best gelato I've ever had. Try pistachio, peanut or salted caramel flavors. Either of them you will be blown away. So so good.

Best ice cream of my life. In the past years I travel to Italy 3/4 times a year and I eat A LOT of ice creams everywhere I go. This one is supreme. I came back to Monopoli just to have it again! Thank you to the team and special thanks to Francesca who treated us very well both times. Can’t wait to return and eat this delicious product once more !!!

Best Pistachio in my life. We have a winner. This is how real Pistachio gellato should taste, little but salty and sweet, just perfect!
