Why it's worth checking out
BENILATO AT The Old Pacific brings an Italian gelato cart to Bangalow and the wider Byron Bay area, with a focus on traditional, handcrafted gelato. The business says its recipes are family recipes passed down through generations, reflecting owner Beniamino’s upbringing in Italy and his belief that gelato is as much about slowing down and sharing time as it is about dessert.
The flavours mentioned on the website include White Choc Macadamia, Sea Salted Caramel, Lemon and mango, with customer reviews highlighting the quality and flavour of the gelato. Cannoli is also mentioned as part of the offering. Dairy-free and gluten-free options are available, making the cart a practical choice for groups with different dietary needs rather than a stop suited only to one type of dessert lover.
This is a mobile setup rather than a described sit-down venue, appearing at selected markets and popup events across the Northern Rivers, with regular locations listed in Yamba, Currumbin, Brunswick Heads, Kingscliff, Alstonville and Evans Head. Benilato also caters for weddings and events with its gelato cart, giving guests an interactive dessert experience. It could suit families, groups, celebrations or anyone looking for a simple scoop while exploring the region. The business is rated 4.5 from 58 Google reviews.
