Why it's worth checking out
Piccolina Gelateria sits on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, a leafy, established inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. Part of a much-loved gelato name, it's earned a strong reputation for its beautifully made, quality gelato — the kind of authentic, crowd-pleasing treat that's become a genuine favourite for a sweet stop in the area.
The appeal is straightforward but irresistible: quality gelato in a great range of flavours, perfect for a treat after a meal, a sweet pick-me-up while out shopping or simply an indulgence on a warm Melbourne day. In a city that loves its gelato, a spot that's nailed its craft becomes a real favourite, and Piccolina has clearly won over a loyal following on Glenferrie Road.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Flavours rotate, and opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular gelateria gets busy on warm evenings and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a quality scoop, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing what flavours are on offer that day in Hawthorn.
