Gelato Franco

This place is a gem. The tiramisu gelato is seriously the best I’ve had in Sydney. Super creamy, not too sweet, with a strong coffee taste and a soft, rich texture. Tastes just like the real dessert but colder and better. The shop itself is small and a bit old-school, but that makes it feel homey. Staff are friendly, and the vibe is super chill. Good portions too. If you’re in Marrickville, this is a must-stop. Skip the fancy places — this one does it right.

Gelatos Franco could just be my new favourite gelato store! I had a double scoop of creme brulee and pistachio ($9.50). The creme brulee was very creamy while the pistachio had lots of nuts throughout it. My friend had stracciatella and strawberry and yoghurt. The tanginess of the strawberries ate well with the sweetness of the gelato. The cone was made well, too. It was light and crisp, with just the right amount of sweetness.. We both enjoyed our gelato a lot. Although perhaps more on the expensive side in comparison to other ice cream and gelato places, the serving sizes were very generous. I like the look and feel of the store, too. It had a great atmosphere.

Loved the gelato flavours we tried. No tasting allowed though. Please put proper labels for all flavours. There were no labels for those that contain alcohol. Even at low percentage, there should be a label cos it’s not ok for kids and pregnant women if they accidentally pick it! Which was what happened to our friend. They apologised but there should still be a proper label.

A delightful little shop with a great atmosphere. Their tiramisu gelato is great, though be aware - the staff informed me it contains alcohol.

New gelato discovery! This place is adorable and the gelato is really good. The watermelon 🍉 is super refreshing and paired with the chocolate it goes well together. One scoop / two flavours deal for $7.50 is awesome especially as the portion size is generous and two scoops can be too much. They have flavours of the day. We dropped in late on Friday and it was packed but the line moves. Cute family business vibes 🍧

Dropped in with zero expectations after a deep craving for a sweet treat. THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE 😭 We tried the Peach trifle (how did they turn jelly, custard and cake into icecream?! Insanely good), and the banana salted caramel (I was a little worried as I don't like artificial banana flavour - this thing tasted just like Gran's home-made banana bread with a delightful salted caramel moment). Service was very friendly, the place was lovely and clean, and the prices were very reasonable. Everything was amazing - highly recommend!

Love the tiramisu. Don’t like the panna cotta, banana or pistachio.

Can never go wrong with any of the flavours. Toblerone is great and they have different feature flavours, I had one based on an Italian dessert. So yum. Sit inside or outside and enjoy your scoops.

You simply cannot go to Marrickville and miss this place! I'm so happy they've moved locally! Best and authentic Italian flavours. Made with love. I'm here like 2-3 times a week it's quite sad. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming. They now do take home tubs 600 ml for $11! For one scoop it's $4 and they give too much! But I'm not complaining. My fave is the zabaglioni, banana and tiramisu! Can't go past it. So delicious!

Im finally ticking of some of my many bookmarked places, Gelato Franco being one of them :D!! They're situated right down the end of marrickville road just past illawarra road, so a bit away from the hustle & bustle of Marrickville :). Came here with a friend, who me and him both had big cravings fo gelato/Sorbet :). I ended up getting the choc chip, peach and passion fruit :), all delicous flavours but my Numero uno of the 3 was the choc chip and that was the bottom scoop (oh yeah :D). My friend got the peach, watermelon & banana, the banana & watermelon were the stand out flavours. Normally for the both flavours when you order it elsewhere it has the fruity taste and thats it.. but the banana flavour was exactly the taste and texture of mooshed banana haha & the watermelon had the exact taste and feel of a crushed watermelon smoothie after each scoop :). Without a doubt the best tasting choc chip & Banana/watermelon Gelato I've had to date :)!! Will definately be back and recommending this place :D!!

We went here at 7:30pm, who would have thought they'd be open.... The shop was alive and buzzing with chatting customers and energetic and friendly staff. We had coconut dairy free in a cone and chocolate in a cup. Really big servings, great "real" flavors with "real" coconut chunks. The staff said that all ingredients to make their product are fresh not flavoring or artificial additives which really comes out when you devour these tasty treats. Easy to find at the west end of the strip with loads of parking. Good prices, lots of choice and coffee too.
