"Classic!!! A must visit Been here in 1998 for the first time and keep coming back. Hazelnut flavor is so amazing and can’t find anywhere else. Small and beautiful with good hygiene are major plus. Parking space is an issue but worth the efforts."

"Il Gelato provides a great assortment of ice cream flavours; the fruit-flavored ice cream isn't overly sweet and suits my taste. I highly recommend the lemon sorbet, which is not sweet and even slightly sour."

"Sweet little Italian gem IL Gelato Italiano serves up authentic, creamy gelato that instantly lifts your mood on a hot day. The shop is small but full of charm — spotless, cozy, and smells like happiness. Staff are friendly and generous with samples so you can find your favorite flavor before committing Their Hazelnut, Pistachio, and Lemon Sorbet are pure winners Smooth texture, balanced sweetness, and clearly made with real ingredients — no fake flavor vibes here. You can taste the Italian craftsmanship in every scoop. Perfect treat after a seaside stroll or coffee stop nearby Prices are fair (around THB 100–150 per cup) and portions decent. It can get busy in the afternoon, but it’s totally worth the wait ⏳ Whether you’re a gelato purist or just craving something cool and creamy, this place won’t let you down"
