“Gelateria Castelletto – a piece of Italy in the heart of Vienna

This well-known gelateria in Vienna’s first district has launched a completely new look in the past few weeks and now features more than 30 flavours of ice cream and countless self-created specialities for guests to try.

The shady garden is the perfect place to cool off with a refreshing ice cream, frappe, smoothie or drink on hot days. Visitors are also treated to Italian pizzazz and the ‘dolce vita’ philosophy with not only classic sundaes, but also coffees, paninis and sweets.”

“The Gelateria Castelletto on Schwedenplatz was renovated in a record-breaking 12 days. Today it is one of Vienna’s chicest ice cream parlours.”

“My favourite café in all of Vienna.

I may never have been to New York but I have been to my favourite Italian café many a time. The coffee is incredible. The cakes and tortes are just like the ones I know from Italy. My son absolutely loves the profiteroles, they are also really good. It can be difficult to get a seat on weekend afternoons, but it is definitely worth the wait.”

“A beautiful, modern Italian ice cream parlour and café on the Donaukanal. Delicious ice cream and a great Wiener Melange coffee are guaranteed here. Definitely recommended.”

“The café I trust

­For the past several years, I have been a regular guest at the Gelateria Castelletto and want to take this opportunity to thank them for their great hospitality, food, service and comfortable lounge-like atmosphere.

Meanwhile, I have also switched from my long-time favourite ice cream parlour to the Gelateria Castelletto because of their variety of excellent ice cream. I look forward to my next visit. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you!”

“Again and again …

We love visiting this ice cream parlour that also serves small dishes and breakfast. The big portions mean great value for your money. The serving staff are fast and friendly. You can relax on the Schwedenplatz, a lively city hub, and enjoy great people watching. It’s a lot of fun!”

“Ice cream paradise

Our visit to Vienna would be incomplete without a Castelletto ice cream!

Apart from the large choice of flavours there are also specialised ice creams that look like plates of pasta or pizza. It is unique to be eating an ice cream which to the casual observer looks more like a lunch dish!

The setting inside is spacious and comfortable and the service excellent.

Just in case ice cream is not a passion, they also do food dishes (which we did not try so cannot comment on) and coffee.”
