Even in February we enjoyed the take away icecream we bought at Sottozero. Medium (2 scoops) for 3.90 Euro, price quality ratio is ok. Very friendly girls serving their customers with a 🙂 Recommend this place for creamy, tasty, ... gelato 😋

Everything was perfect. Perfect texture and the best flavoured ice cream I've ever tasted. It offers a very different kind of flavours... With a biscuit on top of the cup! Very kind staff!

I found the taste of ice cream very well, I enjoyed it very much, but about the price, it is actually expensive. For two scopes I paid almost 5€.

The ice cream was 5/5 and so creamy and delicious. Lots of flavours to choose from. Big let down that there was no where inside to sit and no shade/parasols outside! We ended up sitting on the path opposite, under the trees. Fine for us,...but no good if elderly or less mobile.More

We had heard such great things about this place, but came away disappointed. The lack of shaded seating is we a problem, but the gelato itself was not worth the hype. Of the four flavours we tried, only the strawberry was memorable, with my banoffee...barely tasting of anything. There are better gelato places in Malta.More

Although I have visited the Birgu shop, I am still gonna post a review. We took 2x ice creams and the pistaccio flavour is to die for! Staff were trained and well organisex. Will definately revisit again.

We like this place as they have proven themselves with the consistency and the quality over time through many visits there. They have a variety of plant based milks and sweet pastries that are well made and delicious. We are repeat customers

very disappointed, second time I come to Sottozero Birgu and the staff says it's closed when closing time is 1am according to their post on the internet and I came at 11:47pm. Also they offered a coffee or a pastry instead when all ice creams...where still in display anyway. Sottozero, please appreciate that if you are showing as open, people are travelling long ways just to be rejected by your unhelpful staff is not ok. Just a word of advice to check your cámaras to see how much business lost and people rejected.More

Our first ice cream in Malta and its absolutely beautiful. Well worth the walk, lift and ferry across to try it. It melted very quickly and i made terrible mess but it's very good. Loaded with actual ingredients and they weren't shy with the portions,...how ice cream should be.More

If you're in Bugibba square face Macdonalds in front of you and the road leading up beside that on YOUR right leads you to Sottozero...about 75 metres....3 mins.... worth every second
