Brainchild of Jacob Kennedy (executive chef of hit Italian restaurant Bocca di Lupo), this sunny spot adds a scoop of Sicily to the south side of Soho, though you’d be hard-pressed to find ices this good even in Acireale or Catania. Friendly staff offer tasters of any flavour of interest – and there will be plenty of those, with 20 or so freshly made each day.
Ewe’s milk ricotta with sour cherry is a particular favourite, as is monte bianco (rum, chestnut and bitter chocolate) and the refreshing mint granita, which tastes nothing like toothpaste.
Gelupo also offers a cut-above range of chunky sandwiches filled with trending ingredients such as squacquerone (fresh Italian cream cheese) and ’nduja (spreadable spicy sausage). Sit at the stools near the front or head to the rear deli benches where shelves are lined with a connoisseur’s selection of olive oils, pasta and booze.
