Piccolina Gelateria

Hawthorn's Italian-heritage gelateria where pistachio is treated like a religion by regulars.

A bright, stylish Glenferrie Rd gelato bar with a signature green fit-out. casual counter service built for a quick sweet stop rather than sitting in.

Rotating weekly specials (three new flavours each week), traditional Italian-style gelato texture, and a tiramisu and birthday cake selection. note the shop is card-only, no cash accepted.

Reviewers repeatedly praise it as close to "real" Italian gelato, contrasting it with novelty flavours like bubblegum or pavlova found elsewhere.

Opinions split sharply on price. around $7.20 for a small tub, with several reviewers calling it too expensive, especially after a flagged public holiday surcharge, though most still say the quality justifies it.
