Oddono’s

pastichio gelato, as good as the ones I’ve had in Italy! Definitely worth a trip over if you’re close by. I came here after going to the museums (V&A and Natural History Museum). It’s not too far and is totally worth checking out. So good!

Very good gelato in South Ken, reasonable prices and amazing flavours. You can get it to go or eat buy and sit down in the shop.

A bit off the main area, but still busy which is a good sign. Excellent chocolate chip gelato.

My friend and I specifically went out of our way to get here, and ooooh was it worth it!!!
Best gelato I’ve had in London. Not too sweet and has so much flavor.
Locals like it too, since they bought a whole box of it home with them!

My experience at Oddono’s was solid. Maybe it’s because I came on a cold, windy afternoon that I didn’t feel that Oddono’s hype, but I adore ice cream and Oddono’s offers tasty gelato. The store was cozy and warm, and inhabited at the time by 3 people: me, the person behind the counter, and an elderly gentleman who also enjoys ice cream regardless of bad weather. For £2.30, I got a small cup of chocolate, which was not the richest chocolate gelato I’ve ever had, but it was pretty good. However, I believe Oddono’s has some of the more reasonable prices for gelato in London, so it’s worth a go.

This was the best ice cream/​gelato place I have been in London. The prices were reasonable and the staff were very welcoming. Overall I highly recommend checking it out especially if you are in walking distance. The chocolate on a cone was my fav.

If you like ice cream and you live in London, most likely you will have heard of Oddono’s. If not, you really should check it out.
One summer evening I was walking home from the office and suddenly I felt a craving for refreshment and decided some ice cream would be nice. Because I walked along the streets of South Kensington regularly, I knew that in a tiny side street I could find Oddono’s. I do not even remember if I had tasted Oddono’s ice cream before, I certainly have never been at their shop in South Kensington.
They offer a wide variety of fresh ice cream and whatever taste you like, they will have something for you. The flavour is very strong and natural, and it is a real pleasure to eat there.
You can find a few very good places for ice cream in London, but Oddono’s is definitely one of the best — if not the best.

Absolutely great gelato made with fresh natural food Must try please

Yummy yum yum. Don’t care that this is a chain. It’s super good gelato!

I haven’t tried Italian gelato from Italy yet but I’m pretty sure this tastes pretty close to the real thing. It’s amazing and I’ve never had any gelato like this in America. I got the hazelnut as many others recommended and its delicious. I liked that over the cookies and cream. the hazelnut flavor has actual hazelnuts in it too! My friend got the pistachio and she said that was amazing as well. The prices are also crazy cheap. It’s 2.30 for a small. The people who work there are Italian so I would bet that this is real Italian gelato.

Delicious! Half cookies and cream, half cappuccino it was delicious and I went many times while studying abroad in London. It was dangerous to have right around the corner and was always a temptation when I walked home from the South Kensington Tube station. A great treat and a nice reward after a long days walk around the city.

Admission time. I’m not a big gelato fan. Yes I’m of Italian ethnicity and my entire family LOVES ice cream and gelato but somehow I’m the black sheep here.
Like most of you, I have friends who like gelato and have brought me here. I will say, i have very much enjoyed the cookies and cream. Of course I only ate four spoonfuls and gave the rest away.
My cousin and her friend came visiting from Italy. 100% born and raised Italians (unlike moi who was born in America). We finished dinner and I know they have a sweet tooth. Was nervous on my choice but went here over Scoop.
I couldn’t be happier when it turned out the employees were both Italian too! Between the five of us, with the four of them babbling about in Italian and me only getting one of every four words, I was again the black sheep.
Pariah feelings outside, they LOVED this place and the gelato. So really, there isn’t any other choice in South Kensington if you ask us.

Fabulous little gelato shop, and it’s Italian on top of that! The ice-​cream is amazing and there’s a huge variety in terms of flavours. The place is just a small piece of heaven if you’re with children — their eyes tend to go bigger with every scoop of ice-​cream they get on their cones and will love you even more after the visit.
The last time we were here, I got the one with the cookies inside and it was quite delicious, but maybe a bit too sweet for my taste. I might get something smoother next time, I’m thinking the milk chocolate should be a winner.

Wonderful Italian ice cream served by mostly Italian staff with Italian smiles! What’s not to like? Well, nothing, which is why it gets 5 stars :)
They have another branch on the top floor of Whiteleys shopping centre too!

Awesome selection, great quality, easy location!
We stopped by after an unimpressive dinner out and it rescued the evening! =)

It does not matter what the weather is like in London, gelato is always good (even if you are shivering as you eat it).
Oddono’s is small and they do not have a huge selection of flavors. What they do have is good and a mix of the basic to a few more fun options. It is also okay to try a couple flavors (as long as you are buying, though I’m not sure what they could really do if you just had some samples and left). This is the only place I have seen salted caramel gelato (my current favorite ice cream flavor) so I was pretty excited about it. The chocolate hazelnut is also a solid choice. It was so good we ended up coming back a second time.

This place was packed late on a fairly cold, rainy Saturday night, so that’s a pretty good sign. They have particularly good pistachio gelato and it’s really nice to be able to mix 2 flavours even in a small cup.
Yee Gan O. makes a good point about the layout of this store, it’s really awkward that the counter is also the queue and sometimes you’re served before you can see half the flavours. Remember: stay focused, stay calm — your gelato decision is important and should only be made after full consideration.

Summer is here, time for gelato! I recommend the waffle cone, as on a hot day the gelato will start to melt as soon as you walk out the door into the sun, and you don’t want all of that mouthwatering gelato to run down onto your hand. Plus, the waffle cone is delightful.
Inside you’ll find a large array of flavors to choose from — I recommend the cookies and cream and the milk chocolate hazelnut… heavenly! They also have several flavors of sorbet in case you want to be «healthy» (but really, get the good stuff!).
It can get a little busy when the weather is nice, but that’s to be expected in London… if it’s that good there’s always a queue (it usually moves quickly though). Enjoy!

It hit the spot! Hubby and I trekked to Oddono’s with a visiting friend after a lovely Sunday roast around Kensington area. As planned, we saved some space for a gelato from Oddonno’s. After a slurp or two, the three of us unanimously agreed that it was a HIT! Check it out for yourself!
As for the portion, it is fair for the price, while the selection they offer is quite typical of an italian gelateria. If your unsure of what you want, ask the server to try out the gelato you are interested to order. As for my choice, hazelnut and coffee… hmmmm yummy. My verdict is thumbs up! I am happy to have found this place! I have a very strong feeling that I will be coming back to this place again!

With stormy weather on the way apparently, I’m taking advantage of what has been quite a good summer to squeeze in as much ice cream as I can.
Oddono’s is serious gelato as evidenced by the fact that they’re stocked by none less than Selfridges. However, I prefer this location which has some outdoor seating and seems a much nicer way to sit and relax while licking your chosen icy treat
The design of gelato shops however does seem to leave something to be desired as they often cause queues which prevent you from seeing clearly what flavours are available. I always worry about nipping round the side to see the other flavours and then losing my place in the queue.
Like any self-​respecting gelato shop, you can ask for a mix of flavours on your cone, whatever size you plump for. That was a trick I learned from watching other customers
Free samples are available if you can’t make your mind up. I’m a sucker for the more refreshing fruit flavours and sorbets in the summers and go for the creamier full bodied flavours as the temperature falls.
Lastly, my Chinese Thrift Gene is satisfied with a ‘small cone’ costing £2.30 with a mountain of 2 flavours of gelato.
A perfect place for dessert after a meal at one of the many local restaurants
