Customer Review Summary
Pistachio is the flavour reviewers name most, described as intense and authentic, with no artificial taste. Chocolate hazelnut and plain hazelnut come close behind, and cookies and cream, chocolate chip and a hot chocolate also get mentions. Reviewers call the gelato rich and creamy and say they can taste the quality ingredients. Some rate it the closest to authentic Italian gelato they have found in London, and one notes the flavours stay fresh even in winter. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and one server explained the most popular flavours to help a customer choose. The complaints are mostly about the setting and its handling. One reviewer was troubled that staff looked visibly hot behind the counter with no effective air conditioning, while another found the cafe area cold because the door was left open. A third thought a manager handled a disputed order poorly by giving free ice cream. Another reviewer was offered samples before choosing.

“What a Contradiction – Ice Cream Kept Cool, Staff Left to Sweat I visited Oddono’s today and was genuinely shocked by the working conditions. It’s an ice cream shop, yet there appears to be no effective air conditioning for the staff. The freezers and display cabinets are carefully kept cold to protect the ice cream, while the employees behind the counter are visibly sweating as they work. How is this acceptable? We care about keeping the ice cream at the perfect temperature, but what about the people serving it? The staff were working hard and doing their best, but watching them work in such uncomfortable heat was unpleasant and concerning. Employees deserve a safe and reasonable working environment too. Keep the ice cream cold, of course — but please don’t forget to keep your staff comfortable as well. Oddono’s management should seriously look into this.”

“This is my favourite ice cream in London! 🍦 The closest to authentic Italian gelato I’ve ever tried in London — and I’ve tried many places. Fantastic quality and delicious flavours. Thank you for the amazing gelato! 🇮🇹❤️”

“I came in for an ice cream yesterday with a friend. The ice cream itself was okay, but I had a rather unpleasant experience whilst there. Another customer had made a mistake with her order and instead admitting that, she blamed the young man working there. Now I had been there for the whole saga and she was in the wrong. Not only that, she was disgustingly rude to the staff member about it. So much so that I had to step in and tell her to stop. The young boy working there was calm and stated that he could not just give out free ice cream - which is fair. She became hostile and started to mock him and his age. She called for his manager and instead of the manager standing up for her staff, she gave the woman free ice cream. I think that’s really poor. Although I can understand looking after your customers, I also think you should look after your staff too. I hope that young man knows he’s doing a great job, as it certainly didn’t feel that way yesterday. Rewarding bad behaviour and not looking after your staff is poor.”

“The staff were nice enough, my criticism is with management/policy. I felt extremely unwelcome today as a Scottish person when I tried to pay with a Scottish bank note. Scottish money is legal. I would not recommend this place. I recommend any other ice cream shop that doesn't have exclusionary policies.”
