Casa Del Gelato


Casa Del Gelato is a gelateria on Lygon Street. From the outside, it just looks like any of the other ubiquitous Italian ice creameries littering the strip. But on the inside, you get to delight in the fact that they have SOY FLAVOURS. Most of the time, us vegans can eat the fruit flavours at an ordinary gelati bar, but here, we get to experience such delights as chocolate and baci. I ended up with baci and cherry, and then wished i'd chosen pistachio, as Riva had, because it was delicious, and the cherry was a little too Dr. Pepper for my tastes. Damn that buyers' remorse.

It is nice to be able to sit in the square in Carlton and watch kids on razor scooters scooting in circles and tut tut about how children are dressed these day
s while eating ice cream. You can get yours in a cone or a cup. Go nuts.

Where: 163 Lygon Street, Carlton

When: Probably around midday until late, but don't quote me on that.

Call: 9347-0220

I recently discovered this place, and just had the pistachio last night. To die for. The girl at the counter said she likes the vegan version better than the regular gelato. Go figure :)
