A weighted blend of both, not an average. How this works

Our review

Gela' ti amo is a small artisan gelateria on Main Street, next to the Royal Calpe pub, with movable tables outside. It was a Google-only listing until today; its Tripadvisor page was found and attached on 6 September 2026, so Tripadvisor now counts alongside Google. It stands at 4.7 from 70 Tripadvisor reviews and 4.8 from 153 on Google, for an Index of 4.70. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026, and the newest is from the end of August.

The verdict on both sites is close to unanimous: the best ice cream in Gibraltar, made on the premises, creamy, fresh, in big portions at fair prices. Pistachio is the flavour people return for, including a sugar-free version; tiramisu, raspberry ripple, white Kinder Bueno and a vegan cookie gelato all get named, and the strawberry and mango granitas and iced fruit drinks are a recurring stop after a walk on the Rock. There is even a dog ice cream. Tastes of each flavour are offered, and the owner, Eddie, is thanked by name for the welcome.

The dissent is mild but real. A July 2024 Tripadvisor visitor was served from the bottom of nearly empty tubs and found the Rock and Snickers flavours short of their promised bits; a December 2025 reviewer called it perfectly decent but not the best they had had. One 2019 review refers to the shop by another name, Gelateria Dolce Vita, so treat that one loosely.

Prices in the reviews are modest: a large tub for £4.50 in 2022, and three scoop-heavy portions for about £10 in 2019. Fast, friendly service is the norm; the only practical note is that it is small and closes earlier than one couple hoped after dinner.

Come for pistachio, or a granita on a hot afternoon, and sit outside on Main Street; ask for a scoop from a fresh tub if the one on display looks low. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, and this write-up is drawn from the reviews.

Written from the Tripadvisor reviews and both platforms' scores on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. We show the Google rating but have not yet read Google's reviews for the write-up. The recurring themes it draws on are below.

What reviewers consistently say

Our summary of recurring themes across the 28 most recent reviews, written in our own words and read on 6 September 2026. Recent reviews from both platforms are quoted, with attribution, further down.

  • Called the best ice cream in Gibraltar on both sites, made on the premises.
  • Pistachio above all, with sugar-free and vegan options praised.
  • Granitas and iced fruit drinks are the hot-day order.
  • Owner Eddie's welcome is part of the review.
  • Mild dissent: near-empty tubs and one 'decent, not the best'.

What it gets right

  • Artisan gelato, pistachio especially
  • Generous portions at fair prices
  • Warm welcome from the owner

What it gets wrong

  • Tiny, and a scoop from a low tub can disappoint
  • Closes before late-evening wanderers arrive

How it compares

It holds 4.7 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from 70 reviews — well above the Gibraltar median of 4.1 across 106 restaurants with enough reviews to rank, and on a moderate number of reviews.

How the Gibraltar Index Score is built

It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. Gela’ ti amo scores 4.7 from 70 on Tripadvisor and 4.8 from 153 on Google, which the model blends to 4.7.

We read the 28 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.

    Decent gelateria

    We had some nice gelato here - not the best I’ve had, by any means, but perfectly decent and both the Ferrero Rodger and Snickers flavours tasted exactly like their chocolate counterparts. The fig and mascarpone was very nice although I would have liked a bit more fig.more →

    Worth trying some gelato from here!!

    This ice cream place really exceeded my expectations! I got the white kinder bueno flavour, it was probably the best ice cream I have ever had. There are lots of seats outside the shop, and there is a great selection of flavours! Definitely recommend!more →

    OK but could be much better if you get a scoop from the top of the tub!

    Went to this place because it had good reviews... I had two different flavours - Snickers and Rock. Rock was vanilla ice cream apparently with salted caramel and hazelnuts - I say apparently because the tub was practically empty but rather than it being refilled I was basically just given a scoop of vanilla ice cream... sadly the Snickersmore →
