The texture of the gelato at Bernadi's Gelato is equal to the best gelato anywhere I have eaten it in the world. Shamefully I rate cities and countries by how good there gelato is and Bernadi’s puts Brunswick Heads on the world map as far as I’m concerned. I regularly buy gelato in my travels and throw them in the bin if the texture isn’t right but the texture of Bernardo’s gelato is so smooth. The flavours are beautiful with the best tiramisu, rum and raisin and coffee that I have had anywhere but today I tried a new flavour which was rose, cardamom and pistachio! Their flavours are made from all natural ingredients like real fruit. Amazing. Do yourself a favour and get your self to Bernadi's when you’re in Brunswick Heads.
