Manifest your Italian OE right here in Ponsonby - Little 'Lato is ready to welcome you 🍨
Little Lato's founder Hannah Wood trained at Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna (yes, studying gelato at university is a thing and we're obsessed), before bringing the knowledge she gained home to Auckland and opening her first tiny gelato kitchen in 2017. Since then, the business has grown from a small local operation into one of New Zealand’s beloved artisan gelato names.
Their bright parlour on Ponsonby Road has built a cult following for their huge range of award-winning flavours made with proper Italian gelato technique. Often busy with excited customers, no matter the time of day, they’ve managed to really nail the simple, joyful experience of standing in front of a cabinet trying to choose a scoop flavour.
Tell your brothers, your mothers, your sisters and your friends - happiness starts at Little Lato.
📍Little Lato, 19 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby
