Pidapippo in Carlton


They only open at 12 noon, so we had to wait.  We took Jemima for a play on the slide in Princes Park.  The walk along College Crescent was hot, but it was fun reminiscing about uni days.


Good decorations, airy, spacious... plenty of space to queue...


Colourful tins, reminiscent of Italy... King & Godfrey may be gone, but the style is here...


Outdoor chairs and tables... groovy... imagine taking a uni date here? Beats Brunetti in my book!


I chose pistachio and Nutella.  The Nutella was exquisite (chocolate like hardened flakes throughout creamy vanilla).


The pistachio didn't stand a chance under the Nutella sauce...


James had a disappointing flavour (macadamia and wattle).  It was just like honey and macadamia made it rich... I should have ordered him a sorbet... The hazelnut didn't impress, but Jemima helped him eat it.

 

Mango Fifty by Kohu Road


The Mango Fifty is a masterpiece... Smooth just doesn't capture it... It is a wonderful way to cool down on a hot summer day.


It knocks out the competition... Here we tried it with a very good chocolate and blood orange gelato, as well as Macha Green tea white chocolate waffle cone crunch ice-cream from Connoisseur.
