pidapipo laboratorio
Welcome to The Lab—no ordinary dessert spot, but the newest and most exciting addition to the much-loved Pidapipo Gelati, already a Melbourne favourite. Here, the passionate team experiments with innovative gelato flavours, even crafting chocolates in a temperature-controlled room and testing creations that may (or may not) make it onto the menu across all Pidapipo stores. Little Miss 8 happily indulged in the vanilla and honeycomb flavour after taking her time sampling the options—because yes, you get to try before you choose, which is a win for kids and adults alike. Guests can watch the team churn out eight rotating test flavours made with unique, hard-to-find ingredients and unexpected combinations, all designed to surprise and delight your taste buds.
