Gelato Mio, Holland Park, London

Very good mango - not the intense, loaded with fruit rendition. This one has a very nice sour mango note to it, and a touch of the mango fragrance, to balance the mango sweetness.

Coffee is good, but straightforward, textbook stuff.

Outstanding pistachio - very nutty, with that lovely green pistachio flavour, right behind the toasty taste.

Great textures -- stiff, creamy, soft and just a little bit of a "puffy" lightness. I may like Scoop's a bit more for the flavour quality, but this still worth it, especially if in the neighbourhood. Comes with a little wafer cigar.

P.S. the choc (baccio?) cookies are also good.

    1. I like Gelato Mio a lot. I think my favourite is the hazelnut - it's like eating really cold nutella spread (a good thing, in my opinion).

      Have you tried Oddono's? They're pretty good too, but I think Gelato Mio is better.

        1. re: Ibrahim.Salha

          Yes - agree very much - had Oddono at multiple locations (their Kensington shop, Selfridges, a cart from a cafe near Tower bridge) and it's a notch below Gelato Mio.
