Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The best gelato I’ve ever tasted! So incredibly creamy and the flavours are amazing. We went her two nights in a row because we couldn’t get enough! Can’t wait to come back and try again

Absolutely delicious gelato ice-cream. The best I've had in years. Flavours were amazing and a great range of unique local options (soursop & papaya). Generous servings. Staff were very friendly and kind. We came back every night we were in Port Douglas.

They serve perhaps best ice cream in Port Douglas but compare to other ice creams nothing really significant! I tried Belgium chocolate and tiremsue flavors. The Belgium chocolate tasted nice as you expected but tiremsue was a bit disappointing. The serving size for two scoop...tub was little. Although it depends on who is serving for you. The older lady is a bit generous compare to the old man’s. The opening hours are not exactly what they advertise in the google. We checked the time at 10 am in the morning saying it’s open but when we got there it still was closed . They have not opened until afternoon.More

Friendly service with amazing gelato. I ordered Belgian chocolate and Dulce de Leche, perfect combo. I was able to try two other flavours to help me make a selection. Hands down most the best Gelato In Port Douglas.

I know it's a big claim but I'm going to make it anyway.... They have the best desserts in the world here. I just had the Pavlova and can say without a doubt that I've never had better. I go regularly and have never been...disappointed.More

This place has a good variety of flavours to choose from, and the gelato tasted amazing! I had the Basil and Lemon sorbet, which was very refreshing.

I think I popped in here every evening! An ever changing choice of flavours, some of them old favourites and some a bit of an adventure. Have one of each.

Amazingly delicious gelato. Made just the way they do in italy. My only complaint would be that they serving size for two scoops wasn’t generous, but a part from that 10/10. The lady serving us was very warm and friendly

We went here every day they were open on our recent trip top Port Douglas! The ice cream is sensational, with loads of flavours that change every day. You can get a couple of flavours in one cup (a small is only $5 and generous...in size) and honestly it's some of the best ice cream you will ever eat - creamy and smooth and the flavours really shine. Pistachio was my absolute favourite, and the kids loved the dragonfruit and chocolate. Well, we loved every one that we tried actually! Make a visit here a priority if you're in Port Douglas! They also do coffees and Italian desserts if you don't feel like ice cream (but, you'll feel like ice cream!). It was often really busy but staff are efficient and friendly, and happy to offer tastings.More
