!!by far the best ice cream shop in cape town!!

decor/ambience - 10/10

"amazing" is the only way to describe the experience!🙂🙂

1. the decor is amazing! with a very classy and old school look to the golden lids, the look of theplacereally adds to the experience!😍

2. the menu is amazing! they only have 5 options of each type of ice cream (gelato, sorbet, ice cream) but the options are very diverse and done well, there were no bad flavours!😋😋

3. the prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the ice cream itself comes with a chocolate dipped wafer which i wish they had a whole bag of for sale on it's own!😢😢

by far the creamiest gelato/sorbet/ice cream i've ever had and the flavours are strong but very well balanced!

ps. this is after trying 2 other highly rated ice cream places on the same night😂

there’s a reason why thisplacehas a queue! wow the gelato and sorbet are next level here. you’d think you’re in florence!

love that you can pick 2 flavours with the small cups. love that it’s unusual flavours. love that they stick a round wafer freshly drizzled in chocolate goodness in your ice cream. just love!

i had the halva gelato with the granadilla sorbet. my brother had the pistachio gelato with the grapefruit and mint sorbet. the halva has hints of middle eastern sesame dessert vibes to it. the sorbets were super refreshing. that grapefruit sorbet would make the perfect palate cleanser between a multi course meal. super tart! but so refreshing!

i’m so ready for summer!

thee best gelato ever!👅already have a favourite flavour, after the first time but i can't help but try something different each time .
it's definitely a cute spot to stop and have ice-cream, definitely aplaceto add to your bucketlist 😂!

this is a really coolplaceto satisfy your sweet tooth. the staff is really friendly and suggest you their best combinations. they even let you try different flavors before you make a purchase. really a 5 star place.

thisplacedeserves a five as they serve the best gelato in cape town.
i simply love the decor of the store and the service is friendly and competent.i enjoyed the marchese and pistachio flavor, which was amazing..definitely going back soon for my next fix!

if you have a sweet tooth and you're a big fan of gelato, then thisplaceis definitely for you 🍧🍨 it's interiors are gilded with cream tones; it's literally what you would imagine a shop in an 1800 theme park would look like...

the moment you enter you're greeted with smells of sweetness to tantalize the senses and smiles and great humor from the staff 😁.... they will guide you through the array of flavors available and are very helpful in that regard; pistacchio (sicilian inspired🇮🇹) ; marchese (vanilla from tahiti) ; nicciola (hazelnut) lemon sorbet 🍋 a deep chocolate 🍫 lampone with raspberries 🍒... the list is endless! 🤤🤤🤤

we arrived late one week night, just before closing to test out the gelato options as we had never been before. it was absolutely delicious - we enjoyed a combination of gelato 🤤

*tip: it's located on 165 long street, and can be easy to miss... so it's best you put it into your maps/location services for an easier find 📍

*tip: they have a stand at the oranjezicht city farm market at granger bay (every saturday from 8:30am to 2pm)

this is the most amazing gelatoplacein cape town. first: real gelato ! i appreciate the seasonal changes in flavor, the amazing and smiling staffs, the extra small waffle with its decadent chocolate which is like the cherry on top of the cake.  finally, the pricing is decent. treat yourself with nocciola. it's so sad this doesn't have (yet ?) a lovelyplaceto seat with your cone or cup !

disclaimer: i have not been to the actual store in town. but have tried the ice-cream at a restaurant that sells it so my review is solely based on the ice-cream itself as i cannot comment on the ice-cream shops service.

i had moro gelato for dessert. the hoghouse in pinelands sells moro gelato ice-cream. this is clearly stated on the blackboard along with the flavours of the day. we chose to share a scoop of the chocolate flavour which was all kinds of yum! the ice-cream is creamy, smooth, rich and well balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. the decadence of the chocolate shone through. thisplaceserves one of the best (i would even go as far as saying the best) gelato in cape town. need to mission to town and pay a visit to the actual store, only this time i definitely won't be sharing!

i hardly ever give a 5 star rating but you have to give it where it’s due.
theplaceis pretty, the staff is engaging and friendly and their ice cream is really the best in town without a doubt. my partner and i went slightly overboard in buying 5 scoops, a milkshake , extra wafers and cone shots.
pistachio was my fav and the jam on toast. their salted caramel was nice too and best part of their ice cream was that it wasn’t too sweet so you could eat and eat and eat more.
their wafers are something from another planet with the dripping chocolate over it, i had 3 while eating my ice cream and it only comes with 1. i do wish they had waffles though.
great part about thisplaceis they also have loyalty cards, i can’t wait to go back.

moro gelato is a hidden gem! after passing theplacetwice we finally found this little spot of authentic gelato goodness! the store has a really cute interior with a gold and white colour scheme. it's quite small with very minimal seating.

they have quite a variety of flavours with some interesting ones like toast and jam and one or two vegan options as well. after trying almost all the flavours, finally decided on the classic belgian chocolate and coffee. it was really tasty and creamy. the best part is the little wafer dipped in white or dark chocolate that they put on top - the wafer is run under one of the two taps flowing with melted white and dark chocolate! the portion size is slightly smaller than a normal scoop size (for the same price) but given that the flavour is quite rich, it was just the right amount without feeling overly full.

the service here is great! our server was really friendly and he gave us a few recommendations.
overall, moro gelato is definitely the spot to go for great, authentic gelato. it's worth the visit!

yummy yummy in my tummy!!! i've been meaning to try thisplacefor a while. it's in a weird location in long street. i would have imagined this gelato boutique to fit in better in de waterkant. any hoo, went especially for the italian hot chocolate which didn't disappoint. it satisfied everything inch of craving i had for chocolate. unfortunately, it is only available till the end of september but will be back in autumn.

so i'm crazy about almost any gelato but moro gelato surpasses all of my expectations!

we got there about 5 minutes before closing time but the gentleman working there were kind enough to allow us take our time, talk us through the flavours and deal w all the indecisivess. when the owners planned this store and the product, they sure as hell made sure it's full blown italian. from the staff's uniform right to the door panels, it screams italiano. my word, even the pozzettis compliment this theme ! i cannot get enough of thisplace!

i sampled most of the flavours besides the sorbet ones and the jam on toast. the flavours are strong in the sense that they really come through and you get the full taste of the flavour that you choose ! and that's one of the reasons why i'm still going mad over this place. the texture of the product itself is soft and creamy and instantly melts in your mouth. in a scoop you're allowed to take two flavours. i can't remember the exact name of the flavours i took. the chocolate was one was abit too dark for me, but it was good ! the other i think was hazelnut and it was splendid !
you can choose between a cup and cone. it's then garnished with a wafer thats been run through either dark or white chocolate. now who thinks of that ! its another reason why i'd return there ! they sure know how bring everything together wel !

i can't wait to return here ! you should try it too ! 😻

the ice cream here is delicious and seems authentically italian. the server we had was also so friendly! the wafer covered with their dark chocolate from their fountain was great and i'd probably order just those if i could. the pricing is a little steep for the amount of ice cream you get which is in a pretty small cup. it's also not suitable for sitting down there as theplaceis tiny.

came here one first thursday with a friend, pleasantly surprised by how cute and quaint theplacewas.

we tried the caramel flavour at the time, which was rich and creamy with a lovely consistency.

i had always seen their stall at the ozcf market and was delighted to see that they had opened up a permanent parlour.
