Despite having spawned a handful of younger, shinier offshoots across London, this original branch remains popular as ever, with queues often stretching down Holland Park Avenue.

Cheery staff in bright orange T-shirts dish up generous portions of gelato in a score of traditional flavours (think pistachio made from nuts dried in the Sicilian sunshine), along with sorbets, sundaes and shakes.

On our visit, we sampled a terrific amareno (delicately creamy fior di latte with chunks of marinated dark cherries); classic stracciatella (the same subtle base, but this time swirled with shards of chocolate), and an intensely dark and cocoa-spiked cioccolato.

The best gelato I have found outside Italy. The stracciatella is my personal favorite. The Belsize gelateria always has a busy, nice and friendly atmosphere even on a cool Sunday night.

We thought these were very nice gelatos and there was a variety of wonderful and traditional flavours.

Gelato Mio is coming in second place after the one in Kentish town

Pretty cold and kitsch orange shop, the gelato is kind of fat with aftertaste.
The Pistachio is worringly bright green
Italian gelato is something different...
