Desserts & Gelato

The sweet course as a destination: gelato and ice cream, cakes and patisserie, chocolate, and the dessert bars where pudding is the whole point. Bread and the morning are next door, in Bakeries.

Badiani Covent Garden

Gelato on the quiet lane between Long Acre and Seven Dials.

Gelato & ice cream

The Covent Garden branch of the Florentine gelateria Idilio Badiani started in 1932, tucked into Mercer Walk rather than out on the piazza, which makes it a better place to stand with a cone. Buontalenti - egg-rich, barely flavoured with anything but cream - is the house one, named for the Medici engineer said to have invented it.
