It’s a gelato love story for the ages: owners Vera Teodori and Alex Toretto met at a gelateria in Rome. He was a gelato chef, her father owned a gelateria, and they both dreamed of opening their own place. Ten years later they’ve done it on thronging Koornang Road, one of Melbourne’s most delicious streets. Nuvoletta’s motto – “gelato is necessary” – is proven in every lick. The classic flavours are impeccable, but so are the modern creations such as Earl Grey and candied pistachio.

Must-try scoop: Ricotta, lemon and olive oil is a classy sweet-savoury amalgam as good as any restaurant dessert.
