Why it's worth checking out
Glo Gelato sits on Lygon Street in Carlton, the street synonymous with Italian food and culture in Melbourne. There's no more fitting home for a great gelato spot than this storied strip, just north of the CBD, where the tradition of a post-dinner gelato passeggiata runs deep.
The appeal is simple and perfectly placed: quality gelato in the heart of Melbourne's most famous Italian precinct, ideal for capping off a meal on Lygon Street or a stroll through Carlton. In an area where the competition for your sweet tooth is fierce, a near-flawless reputation really stands out.
A 4.9 rating from more than 700 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a place getting its gelato and its service right. Flavours, opening hours and offerings change, and Lygon Street gets busy on weekends and warm evenings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a casual gelato stop, you can usually just wander up and pick from the day's selection.
