Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
So I just tasted what should compete for the worst ice creams ever.
I'm a big fan of Gelato and subscribe to the subtle variations in flavor this branch of dessert caters to. And we've set high bench marks post introduction to Subway's Fresco.
Emilio's served up Ice cream that reeked of strong cheap essence. I did not gravitate to any of the fancy variations and stuck to 'Chocolate'. Now, I don't know what Choco gelato is made of but I could feel the bland flavor of choc powder that probably went into making this. For a change of taste I tucked into my friends Orange flavour... read more
I went on a Sunday Evening to this small place. There weren't much flavors to back on. There were the common flavors vanilla , strawberry etc. There was a flavor called Grapefruit which instantly took my attention and I ordered the same with the Cone. And I never regretted for ordering the Flavor! It was awesome !! The best part was when I ate the ice cream and the cone together.... the whole taste changed ..... I still get a tingling feeling when I think about it !!! Rupee worth spent!! A must try for all the Gelatino Lovers!!!!!! Would like to try all the flavors available in the Out... read more
After my experience at Planet Yumm on Besant Nagar beach, I walked past Barrista and in the corner found a board, Emilio's Gelateria, Authentic Italian Gelato.
It is a very small place with just a display unit showing all the flavours available.
They do not allow you to tase flavours here. Company policy , I was told. You can tase at their outlets at ECR and Mylapore I was told.
Ambience: Just a small ice cream / gelato dispensing area. Air conditioned.
Product: I tried their hazel nut flavour in a cone. Excellent!
A small place with great yummy gelatos. As said by the previous reviewer this place can't hold more than 2 people but then we have a beautiful beach out there to slurp on the gelatos. Previously the space was used as an ATM,so you can get an idea about the length and breadth.
The gelatos are vegetarian and even better they are 94% fat free,a boon for all those who avoid ice creams to beat the fat problem.
They have 6-7 flavors and I had gone with a group of 7 so was lucky to taste almost all the flavors. Mango was the best for my taste buds. The next place goes to hazelnut.

I'm quite a regular at the Besant Nagar beach. I'm a pure vegetarian as well (that includes no eggs, gelatin and any other animal product).
Gelato are gelatin free food. Its more thicker and richer in taste compared to the ice cream. Gelato are not ice ream.
Emilios was a dream come true when i saw them set the shop one night (they were due to open for business the next morning).
The first thing that caught my eye was the 100% vegetarian label. Emilios is an amazing place. They have around 8 -10 flavors everyday. And i should say, they have some really nice flavors,... read more
