The owners, both called Matteo (not kidding) are committed to crafting authentic, Bologna-style gelato, offering classic Italian flavours like fior di latte, crema Bologna, and new favourites like raspberry cheesecake. With four venues (Teneriffe, West End, King Street and Coorparoo) they’re never too far away–especially on a hot day."
