Massimo Gelato Marathonweg — Restaurant in Amsterdam

What began as an ice-cream craving on a hot day, advanced to me getting on google maps and finding myself at Massimo Gelato. It was my first time having Gelato, so I was excited.

I sat in the shop to enjoy it before going back home. I had had the caramel sea salt + one other. I don’t recall. It was lovely. Well the salt was a bit much, but ‘sea salt, right?’

Anyway, I went back a second time with my friend. I tried the pistachio flavour that many seem to love and vanilla as back up incase I didn’t like the pistachio. But guess who gobbled it all up? Me 🙂

I foresee many more visits because I have to try all the flavours and pick my favorites.

The lady I met the first time was really nice too. It was not busy so I could chat a bit and tell her it was my first time. lol.

I’d be back...

My favorite place to get coffee. The reason I walked into Massimo's on Marathonweg was the sign "Italian coffee for Italian prices’.Since then, I have been coming there almost every day for a cup of Italian coffee for only €1.60.

They have a nice Italian staff that always makes time for a chat. Besides the delicious coffee they make the best Tiramisu I have ever had. And Italians know better than anyone how to make ice cream so the ice cream is also fantastic.

I think it is really an asset to this neighborhood and would recommend...

With the vacation season upcoming, it is quite tough to find a person to work in HORECA. Somehow at Massimo Gelato Marathon works a person that is able to work neither with customers or colleagues. Snappy comments, arrogant look on the customers, trying to ask a question and you will be barked at, the ice is almost thrown in front of you. Being a grown-up and able to repeat my order I was interrupted, and the order was screamed into the colleague’s ear. There was a very nice article about Massimo Gelato in Parool. But such service...
