Located on a pedestrianised street in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Peppino’s Gelato stands out for its sleek, modern interior and clear, detailed descriptions of each flavour — a nice touch that sets it apart from the many other gelaterias in the area. It’s a take away only place, no seating provided.
Prices are on the steeper side: €4 for one scoop and €7.50 for two. Portions felt a little small for the price, though the presentation and flavour selection were impressive.
The range includes some creative and distinctive options such as Chia Seed Sorbet, Golden Ticket Chocolate, Lemon Pie, Carob & Fig Nostalgia, Raffaello Dream, Popcorn & Chill, and Dalmatian Cake — the latter inspired by local flavours with figs, raisins, and walnut cream.
I tried the Dalmatian Cake and Popcorn & Chill flavours. The Popcorn & Chill had a pleasant caramelised crunch and a smooth, creamy base, giving it a fun texture. Both were rich and enjoyable, though the scoops could have been more generous given the price point.
Service was quick, efficient, and friendly, if a little functional.
Overall, Peppino’s Gelato is worth a visit for its inventive flavours and polished presentation — just be prepared to pay a little extra for the experience.
