About OTTIMO - Gelato & Coffee

Step off the Coolangatta sand and straight into a proper gelateria artigianale with sculpted mounds in the display case. Beachgoers point to rich Tiramisu and floral Latte Di Rosa alongside peanut-loaded Snickers. Servers often cap your cone with a surprise mini taster scoop of another flavour. Dedicated five-dollar-fifty kids' cups keep post-swim meltdowns at bay without wasting gigantic scoops. Espresso cut-off sits firmly at 8:30 pm.

  • Surprise Taster Scoop: Every cone or cup often gets finished with a complimentary server-selected taster scoop of an additional flavour.
  • Dedicated Kids' Sizes: Dedicated cups and cones for $5.50 keep after-dinner portions manageable and wallet-friendly for kids.
  • Artisanal Flavours: Traditional Italian craftsmanship yielding staples like Tiramisu and Latte Di Rosa alongside dairy-free sorbets and gluten-free cones.

Why Choose OTTIMO - Gelato & Coffee

Why locals and visitors make OTTIMO their top stop for artisan gelato in Coolangatta.

  • Authentic Italian Artisanship

    OTTIMO crafts traditional Italian gelato with smooth, light textures and striking cabinet presentation that rivals authentic gelaterias in Italy.

    This gelato took me straight back to Italy. Every gelato in the case looks like a mini masterpiece… creative flavors, and smooth and light textures.

  • Creative Specialty Flavours

    The gelateria offers an inventive lineup of specialty recipes ranging from pistachio, fig and honey to rich Ferrero Rocher and tiramisu.

    All I can say is OMG… The pistachio, fig and honey is delicious. As someone who hunts down new top quality ice cream and gelato makers. Ottimo is hands down the best ice cream I’ve had in Australia!!

  • Complimentary Mini Taster Scoops

    Servers top each cone and cup order with a complementary miniature scoop of a secondary flavour chosen to complement the main order.

    absolutely love the concept of them placing a small tiny scoop of their choice as a little something for you to try at no extra cost.

  • Thoughtfully Paired Flavour Surprises

    Pairing complimentary taster flavours directly on top of orders provides customers an unexpected, delightful bonus to their dessert choice.

    Fantastic service and they put an extra tiny scoop of a different flavour that pairs well with the flavour you pick.

  • Dedicated Kids Sizing and Fair Value

    Dedicated child-sized cups and cones prevent unnecessary food waste and high prices for parents taking children out for dessert.

    I must point out that is was so refreshing to see you serving proper kids size cup and cones fir $5.50!
