Pidapipo

Melbourne


Pidapipo is the perfect pre-cinema, pre-theatre, post-pizza treat when hanging out on Lygon St. Owner Lisa Valmorbida learned from the best at the Carpigiani Gelato University and now whips up her own flavours on-site from local and imported ingredients. Italian-accented staff rightly recommend pistachio and salted caramel. Add Nutella on tap, amarena cherries or whipped cream for $1.
