Have been a regular since Oddonos opened in Chiswick, their ice cream is utterly delicious. So when my brother had a 60th birthday ( we used to love the cassatta at Marine Ices) I thought to celebrate him with an ice cream cake. But how? Its summer and he lives in Kent. Salvatore the manager of Chiswick Oddonos was briliant, along with his skilled co-workers he produced two amazingly delicious mouth watering cakes with a personalised design, the cakes despite a 2 hour plus journey in the boot of a car on a summer's day and when my brother's guests saw the cakes, there was a line of people waiting. Possibly the cake lasted 10 mins before being instantly devoured, they have to be one of the most successful cakes I've ever bought-and more importantly brought back happy childhood memories for my brother. Thank you to Chiswick Oddonos for making his birthday so special with your care and attention. Fantastic service and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBest icecream in London albeit just 3 stars. Was once much better and freshly made in their stores, now it is instead centrally made in powder then mixed to suit on site. They have found a nice balance between mass produced icecream and artesanal, but for an Italian like me it is on the verge of being disappointing unfortunately!!! Also, it's is very very boring. I have been going for over 10 years and the flavours are always the same classic flavours. Never anything new. Lastly, they seem to shy on the wheepped cream. Either it's finished, or the machine is broken or sorry we turned the machine off two hours before closing!!! What, to save 20 pence of cream!?!?! As all good things, London ruins it all. This city is a money machine and will only get worse. Anything good always turns out mediocre at best. What a shame. Anyhow, for all you non Italians out there, go and enjoy as it's probably the best icecream you will...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is a great gelato shop. They offer really tasty authentic Italian style gelato as well as gelato cakes and coffee. This is the closest high quality gelato shop to where I live and I often drive around half an hour to buy a takeaway box every few weeks.
Their flavour selection is relatively small however the quality is always high. Unfortunately the last time I came they didn't have mint choc chip which is one of my faves. That was disappointing ā¹ļø. But instead I got the peanut butter and salted caramel which were really nice.
My wife loves the chocolate and hazelnut flavour. Rich chocolate flavour with a crunchy bite from the hazelnut.
The takeaway boxes start at around £11/12 for 600g, it's well worth it to upgrade from the supermarket stuff.
I also must mention the pistachio flavour which is very good indeed.
As they say "life's too short to eat...
