Dropped in for some ice cream before a walk along the viaduct. The girl at the counter didn't look too happy to be there but service was adequate. We got watermelon and taro flavored ice cream in a cone for $7. The taste is very refreshing and similar to Melona fruit blocks that you can find in some supermarkets. Slightly pricey but a good place to come and enjoy the sea view.
This ice cream is far superior than Movenpick. Feels like proper Italian ice cream which any person with minimum food knowledge is aware it's the best ice cream in the world. Tiramisu and Apple pie flavours are highly recommended.
Fresh and premium grade raw food materials. Reasonable price. Warm-hearted service by a pretty Asian female staff. The taste of both coffee and meals were good and gelato items were looks great, too.
Icecream was fine but not standout (that might have been due to flavour choice.). Wouldn't go out of way to go back but you're limited with options down by the wharf.
Go here for the view.
The ice cream is nice and I would rate 3.5, but this place has a great view so I give 4.0. The service is great, there were quite a line when I went but the waitresses worked real quick. Will definitely come back!
Very nice ice cream... hahaha
Mmm, just thinking about this place gives me warm fuzzy happy feelings. Been here a number of times as a late night sweet treat. Noted a few people have complained about their service. In my experience; service has always been pleasant. Beautiful location at the ferry terminal, ice-cream generous scoops ... what more can you ask for?
This used to be one of my favs, but over the last few visits I've found their gelato to have icicles throughout - so not a great experience overall. I do like their egg nog, zabaglione and hokey pokey flavours - even more so when the staff can source the flavour from the back if not on display. That experience did make my day!
I have been to this outlet three times including today as well.Every time i liked the taste and quality of the coffees they are offering.One of the best place for having coffee.
I really wish that I could give this place a higher rating, I really do. I have visited this place so many times that I've lost count. They offer some unique gelato flavours and they themselves never let me down. I just don't get how so many bad reviews have popped up about their service but nothing has changed. I have mentioned so many times in previous reviews about the importance of 'service' and this is a great example. Great food, bad service. Everytime, I just feel like that they just want my money and don't care much about my experience. Yeah, they offer you samples, but once you've chosen your flavour it's pretty much get out the door. I really hope that their service improves because the gelato aren't bad. Give this place a go and fingers crossed that their service would have been improved.
I've been a regular customer for their ice cream since 2009. They are one of my favourite spots for after dinner dessert in Auckland Central. Big servings, decent pricing and always a changing range of interesting flavours.
My last visit was the weekend before last, with a couple of friends. I decided to be boring and got a single scoop of hokey pokey in a cone - it was yum! My favourite though, is their rich chocolate flavour.
A nice place to have gelato. Prices are reasonable and a great location! Go for the waffle if you like something warm with your gelato! Nice coffee too!
The prices of the gelato here are pretty reasonable, I mean who doesn't love cheap eats? Also the weather has been continuously hot because it's summer. It was really hot one day so we happened to pass by this place. My gelato had 2 scoops, cotton candy (I think?) and dark chocolate. There was a long queue but the line was moving pretty quick. We didn't wait too long and the service was fast and efficient. The product itself was really nice, pretty good for a scorching hot day! We sat outside for a little while admiring the view of the ferries going back and forth. The gelatos were a little sweeter than what I had expected but it was really worth it. Defo coming back!
It was the day we went to the street eats. We were not satisfied with the food there, so we walked around and found this ice cream store. We picked a seat besides the window and it was rather enjoyable to sit in the sun.
I was surprised with so many flavors here, especially when I saw the watermelon one. I was hesitated to try, but my cousin had a taste. However, we were still fond of the classic flavor not because the new flavors didn't taste good enough. My cousin grabbed a vanilla ice cream on the top of a hot waffle and I grabbed vanilla and hokey pokey with waffle as well. The hot waffle was amazing. It was a great experience to feel the cold ice cream an the hot waffle in your mouth. Sooo nice! My aunty's got a chocolate cone, which was also nice. Great visit. Hope to get the waffle again!

[Still the best gelato I have tasted in New Zealand, if you haven't tried it, you're missing out]
Their gelato is so delicious, I could it a three scoops per day! The chocolate one is so decadent. The scoops are huge. The best ice cream/gelato in New Zealand fir sure and the location couldn't be better.

I tried this place for the first time today as I had a voucher, and I was very pleased with my experience. The place is cosy, the staff was friendly, and the ice cream was absolutely DELICIOUS! All the flavours sounded so good I didn't know which one to pick. I would be happy to recommend this place.
The best ice cream I have ever. The best white chocolate ice cream ever!!! Will definitely be returning.
I have been lots of times, love the flavours especially the lemon cheesecake,have always found the staff friendly and helpful will continue to visit.
The best chocolate gelato I ever had in New Zealand, very rich and decadent and it's not even expensive.
Love the gelatos and have been there more than once.
Hands down, the best gelato and sorbet in Auckland. The chocolate is to die for. Lots of unusual flavours, made without cheating, ie, no mix-ins. Also, with the loyalty card, a large double scoop works out to $4.95.
The greatest ice cream parlour in NZ. Fantastic fitout, good staff and great Gelato!!
Quite simply the best gelato you will find in this town or any town in this beautiful country we live in.
Valentino's continue to ask the question...."I wonder what that tastes like? "
This is usually backed up with a silver or a gold award from their peers in gelato snd ice cream competitions.
Kit- kat or Isotonic are the ones you want try at least twice;)
If you're in the city why not try a refreshing sorbet by the waterfront? Valentino's is situated conveniently by the ferry terminal - and they do excellent gelato and sorbet.
The staff are super friendly and their coffee is quite decent too. I'd highly recommend their passionfruit sorbet (it even has the fruit's seeds!), though they're all delicious!

This ice cream is the best - and the owners are so lovely and friendly! I watched a lady drop her ice cream on the floor and they just handed her a new one and cleaned up the mess. So kind. I had the white choc n Raspberry...YUM and on my second time the Hokey Pokey...not normally my choice of flavour but got a taste of it from the lady selling and it was TDF. I can see why this is a favourite of so many! Yum!!
Nice butternut squash soup and toast for $12. Of course the gelato and sorbet is good and you have the choice of waffle cone or cup. Great place to sit and chill out and watch the world go by.
Yum Gelato and sorbets here. They also have great coffee and a small selection of snack food
Awesome icecream - delicious flavours, sorbet or not sorbet, great coffee....good location
