what the critics say
TimeOut - 4/5
Thursday, August 12, 2010 - The name is an affectionate moniker for the proprietor Adriano di Petrillo, who can usually be found propping up the long marble counter. There are no seats in this chic parlour, and the ice cream is hidden from view in deep containers...All ices are made in-house without the use of artificial additives. The pistachio is a natural creamy-beige colour. A few of the flavours were too sweet for our taste, but the deep ruby-red French cherry sorbet, when paired with the astringent Sorrento lemon sorbet, was just right. The flavour of the month is strawberry - bursting with the aromas of English fruit in its prime.

Gourmet Chick - 8/10
Saturday, July 10, 2010 - The shop front is pretty small and there is no room to really eat in...Rigorous taste testing by both myself and MTV boyfriend can confirm that Dri Dri's ice-cream is really good. They have actually managed to capture the creamy taste that gelati in Italy has which is far, far removed for the watery, icy stuff that is often passed off as gelati in London. The ice-cream is served in tubs or in crisp, tanned waffle cones. We particularly liked the creamy, almost nutty amaretto flavour and the richness of the biscotto flavour.
