The Home of
italian
gelato
In London Since 1931
In 1931 Marine Ices founder and gelato pioneer, Gaetano Mansi, opened his first ice cream parlour in Camden, North West London, with a desire to bring the indulgent taste of real Italian Gelato to discerning Londoners.
His reputation spread fast across London, delighting a legion of customers who couldn’t get enough of the authentic Italian flavours of his delicious ices.
Marine Ices’ iconic parlour in Camden became something of a landmark with queues of gelato devotees (travelling across London and beyond) lining up on hot summers days to savour Gaetano’s inimitable ice creams and sorbets.
Today the same ices can be enjoyed in many restaurants, ice cream parlours, quality food shops and delicatessens around the country, not to mention our own iconic parlour in Camden.
Why Does Our Gelato
taste so good?
Our ice cream excellence has evolved over eighty years to serve you what is arguably London’s finest gelato! Marine Ices brings to you an indulgent taste sensation that is inimitably Italian and decadently delicious.
The parlour has moved down the road from its original location and our gelato is now made in a state of the art creamery in Suffolk, but we have remained faithful to those same original Italian recipes that have delighted countless thousands.
Our amazing flavours have stood the taste test of generations and been admired by ice cream lovers of all ages. What makes our ices so very special?
