Gelateria Bellini

Ice cream made on the premises, then a glass of something Italian beside it. Gelateria Bellini trades under two names at once, Trattoria and Gelateria BELLINI, and in Marchtrenk the scoop counter and the dining room belong to the same business.

Fruit ice cream and creamy milk ice cream, made on site

The gelato is the reason to walk in. It is made on the premises in two lanes, refreshing fruit ice cream and richer creamy milk ice cream, with the house putting its weight on ingredient quality and freshness rather than on a long flavour count. The operation is small and family-run in feel.

The kitchen gives that counter its context. The Italian side of the business cooks from fresh, unadulterated ingredients, with dishes sometimes taking shape while shopping, guided by what the market has or even by the weather. Ice cream sits inside that rhythm rather than standing apart from it.

Afternoon scoops, then an Italian evening

Two experiences overlap here. Earlier in the day the gelateria leads and the visit can be as short as a cone at the counter. Later, the trattoria takes over and the same address turns into somewhere to spend an evening with friends, wine and food.

The lounge is where that shift is clearest. Small, fine snacks are set out for nibbling: prosciutto fresh from Italy, aromatic dried tomatoes and crunchy olives, meant for an aperitivo or a glass of wine. There is indoor seating for about 45 alongside a garden terrace, ground-level access throughout, and takeaway for anyone who only came for the ice cream.

Order fruit ice cream first, then an aperitivo

Start with the house-made ice cream, because it is the clearest thing Bellini does. Fruit ice cream shows the refreshing side; creamy milk ice cream is the richer route through the same case.

If the visit stretches, move from gelato into the Italian side: prosciutto, dried tomatoes and olives with an aperitivo, a glass of wine or a Bellini. The kitchen leans Mediterranean and keeps vegetarian options on the menu, and a full dinner is available for anyone treating it as a restaurant rather than a scoop stop. The simplest plan holds: ice cream first, then decide how long to stay.
