PIDAPIPÓ launches new Windsor store

Lovers of gelato have much to celebrate as PIDAPIPÓ has opened a new store in Windsor.

What started as a pop-up store in late 2013 is today a gelateria with a reputation for offering fresh, delicious gelato produced in the authentic Italian way.

The brainchild of PIDAPIPÓ, owner and chef Lisa Valmorbida, studied the art of Gelato at the Carpigiani Gelato University. Lisa returned to Australia to share her moreish creations with the people of Melbourne in a store named after a game she played with her nonno as a child.

Like the original store in Carlton, each gelato flavour is made from scratch every day at the new Windsor store. All of the flavours we sampled exhibited impressive purity of flavour courtesy of being made from the highest quality Italian and local ingredients. The subtlety and delicacy of flavours such as the Fior Di Latte were particularly impressive and set PIDAPIPÓ apart from its competitors. We were also impressed by the perfect level of sweetness across all flavours - a very welcome contrast from some of the over sweetened gelatos available elsewhere. Another standout flavour was the pistachio gelato, made with pistachios from Bronte in Sicily.
