Gelato Carlo — Restaurant in Vienna

Classy gelato with creative flair – but a cold vibe and steep price

Carlo Gelato is clearly aiming for a high-end experience. The shop looks elegant, and I really appreciated the creativity in their flavor selection – you’ll find some unique combinations here that you won’t see elsewhere in Vienna.

That said, for the price of a single scoop, expectations naturally go up. And while the gelato was very good, it’s not dramatically better than what many excellent spots in Vienna already offer using top ingredients – and at more accessible prices.

One thing that made the experience a bit less enjoyable was the atmosphere. While filming short clips of the shop (out of genuine interest), I felt a certain pressure from the staff’s gaze. My wife was ordering, and I got asked again afterward, which felt slightly passive-aggressive. Maybe there was a misunderstanding, but it added an unexpected tension to an otherwise elegant setting.

All in all: quality gelato, stylish space, but with room to grow in warmth and...

It is one of the best Italian gelato ice creams shops for its fine creamy ice-creams. Famous for its Jerusalem, Pistachio , dark chocolate ice creams. Euro 2,90 for one scoop and Euro 4,90 for 2 scoops. There has another highlights for their ice-cream which is almost euro 6 (Euro 5,90/ portion) , the Montezuma and Kagoshima. Have tried the Kagoshima and felt it didn’t have much speciality. I personally won’t pay for such price for special edition ice-creams .

We asked them whether they can offer one scoop with 2 flavors. They said such offer is just for KIDS 😔😕 Normally other shop such as Veganista will offer one scoop with 2 flavors and charges another Euro0.50. Euro 2.50 + Euro 0.50 = Euro 3 .

As nowadays people won’t want to have much sugar intakes and calories - having a scoop of ice-cream with 2 flavors would just to ease the craving.

There would be some queue as many parents will bring their kids...

We were a group of 6 people visiting from Sweden. We were doing a tour of ice cream shops in the area, and we heard great things about Carlo! I wish it lived up to our expectations. The store was slightly busy, so one person was helping us to get our scoops from behind the counter. Four people directly finished made their choice of flavor, and my friend and I wanted to try different flavors, as there was a wide selection. After tryint the third flavor, the blonde lady behind the counter told us this was our last try. Of course we were surprised! We asked how come, because I had tried two flavors, and my friend had only tried one! She said “you are a big group, and you need to order so finish your spoons and order and get out of here.” My friend said she did not want to order anymore, and I agreed. Mind you, the four people before us had not tried anything to taste, just us. Will not...
