Born from wanderlust, made with love.

Mondo began with a simple idea, to bring the world closer, one scoop at a time. We’ve travelled, taste, and dreamed our way through flavours that feel like memories. From creamy classics to modern twists, Mondo is where nostalgia meets discovery. Because for us, ice cream isn’t just dessert, it’s a story..

Our Founder.

At the heart of Mondo is founder and gelato artist Rio Olivetti, whose approach blends technical precision with a genuine sense of joy. Trained in Bologna under masters of traditional Italian gelato making, Rio brings a deep respect for craft, balance, and quality, paired with a curiosity that keeps things playful. For him, gelato is both discipline and freedom, something refined but never rigid, always evolving, always made to be shared.

Our Home.

Mondo’s home reflects that same philosophy. Housed within a heritage building that has stood for over a century, the space honours what came before while inviting something entirely new. Warm tones, sculptural details, and subtle references to travel and time create an atmosphere that feels familiar yet transportive. It is a place designed for lingering, for conversation, for watching the city pass by with a scoop slowly melting in hand.

The Concept.

Flavour is where Mondo truly travels. The menu shifts and rotates, guided by seasonality, memory, and imagination. Each scoop is carefully considered, layered, and balanced, designed to surprise without overwhelming. Some flavours feel comforting and familiar, others hint at places far from here, but all are crafted with the same intention. To spark curiosity, invite discovery, and turn a simple moment into something worth remembering.
