What McDougall1964 doesn't like about Ghiaccio Ice Cream Dessert Lounge:
Was given a voucher for Ghiaccio as a gift, and took a friend as a 'treat '. I was mortified! The produce served up almost certainly came from a nearby cheap frozen food shop there was certainly nothing that was home baked or luxurious. The voucher cost £19.95 for the two of us, but what we were given would barely have come to a £5 in total (and that includes the Prosecco). What an out and out rip off the owners shou... View all feedback. What mukhasben likes about Ghiaccio Ice Cream Dessert Lounge:
My daughter rang and suggested going for a coffee out of the blue. Ever eager to avoid chores I agreed and she took me to Ghiaccios which is in Harton Village on one of the main roads into South Shields. Although small inside and out it is immaculate. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the smoothies and milk shakes I saw were jaw droppingly gorgeous. A little girl visiting had an ice cream served quirkily in a... View all feedback.

At Ghiaccio, reviews reveal a blend of disappointment and delight. While some diners lamented the quality of afternoon tea—citing pre-packaged pastries and frozen items—others praised the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service. A common theme was the wide variety of menu options, but many felt the execution did not meet expectations. Nevertheless, those seeking a lively gathering space were pleased with unique offerings like ice cream afternoon tea and innovative cocktails. Overall, Ghiaccio appears to offer something for everyone, though consistency in quality remains an area for improvement. A must-try for casual outings, but manage your expectations.
