About La Macelleria Gelateria

Brisbane dessert purists bypass flashier strips for this Teneriffe counter, where traditional gelato is scooped straight from chilled, covered pozzetti. No towering mounds of whipped sugar here. Through the open kitchen window, you can watch the churn before sampling dense scoops of Stracciatella, dark chocolate, or the fig-laced Castiglione. Staff pass over tasting spoons without rushing indecisive orders, pairing rich scoops with crisp cannoli for late-night strolls toward the nearby riverwalk.

  • Traditional Pozzetti Storage: Churned with traditional Italian techniques and tucked under covered pozzetti wells to preserve dense texture and temperature.
  • Open Kitchen Churning: Watch fresh batches of gelato churned on-site directly through the shopfront production window.
  • Late-Night Teneriffe Treats: Open until 10 PM for after-dinner scoops, affogatos, cannoli, and outdoor canopy seating.

Why Choose La Macelleria Gelateria

Discover why dessert lovers and connoisseurs choose our authentic Italian gelateria.

  • Protected Pozzetti Storage

    Traditional covered pozzetti wells ensure the gelato is kept at precise, hygienic storage temperatures without exposure to air.

    Soemthing i noticed and love also is that their gelato is stored properly. I mean it is not open so i believe it is more hygiene!

  • Multi-Flavour Portions

    Generous cup sizes allow guests to pair multiple authentic flavours without paying a premium for variety.

    For even the smallest size, you can choose 2 flavours- I thought it was great to get to taste more than one.

  • Nostalgic Taste of Home

    As someone born and raised in Italy, this place is my little slice of home when I’m feeling nostalgic.

  • Warm, Unrushed Hospitality

    Welcoming, patient servers take time to share the history of recipes and offer unhurried taste tests.

    The gentleman working there was super friendly and patient while we took forever to pick our flavours, helped us out with tasters, gave us some interesting history about the flavours

  • Open Production Kitchen

    A transparent kitchen view lets guests observe the artisan churning and batching process right before their eyes.

    the shop itself is welcoming, and I love that you can see into the kitchen and watch the making process.

    We absolutely loved the gelato making workshop offered by La Macelleria! It was a fantastic night. We made two batches of fresh gelato as a group

    Their Stracciatella gelato is creamy and packed with those crunchy chocolate bits—exactly how I like it.

    Bacio which had whole (not chopped or “flavouring”)hazelnuts in the gelato which was a welcome surprise.
