Romeo and Giulietta

Being just a short walk from Clissold Park, it’s unsurprising that this tiny little Stoke Newington gelato shop often has a queue slinking out of its doors on hot summer days. Founded in 2017 by Romanian husband and wife Ciprian and Iuliana Sumanaru, who arrived in London after living in Verona for several years, It serves up plenty of classic flavours – your chocolates, your vanillas, your pistachios – alongside some more unique recipes, such as ricotta and caramelised figs, black cherry praline, yellow peach and watermelon sorbet. It’s really more of a kiosk than a shop, with no seating available; we challenge you to make it back to the park before you’ve gobbled up the lot.
