Oddono’s Gelati Italiani started trading in July 2004 in Bute Street, South Kensington. Our mission is to offer fresh, natural Italian gelato. All the gelato is produced in our Artisan Laboratory in South Kensington on a daily basis, using in-house recipes. We produce our gelato from scratch, adding each ingredient individually.
When the Owners of La Bottega del Gelato in Bayswater retired about 2 years ago I knew that Londoners who savour real Italian home made ice cream would be in serious trouble.
The outlet has allegedly been passed on to a relative; however what is being served is clearly industrial.
Some may remember a similar affair with the retirement of the owner and ice cream maker at Benigra on Tottenham Court Road some 8-10 years ago.
Thankfully Christian O'Ddonno and a friend who were students in London and could not satisfy their taste for the Ice Cream of their homeland saw a gap in the market. After undergoing on the job training back in Italy they opened a superb Ice Cream Parlour in South Kensington that also supplies some notable restaurants. The sorbets and Ice Creams are really outstanding!
Caramello and Panetone ice cream are my particular favourites.
Oh and if you have just had a shish kofte or donner round the corner at Bospherous this is the perfect Ying after your Yang - food on the move par excellence !
