Danilo Fusco is an Italian gelato maker who set up in the 1st district, and the work shows immediately. The texture is dense and cold, the flavours are clean and specific. You taste the pistachio. You taste the matcha. There's no air, no gum, no pretence.
The affogatos are the standout move — matcha affogato, pistachio affogato, dark chocolate affogato. Espresso poured hot over cold gelato, the way it's supposed to work. It's a simple thing done well, which is rarer than it sounds.
Open all through July and August. €5–8 per scoop. The 1st district doesn't have many places like this — spaces that aren't trying to perform Vienna, just doing one thing and doing it right.

- When
- 2 October 2026 – 24 January 2027
- Where
- 14th · Penzing
A multimedia exhibition on queer forms of remembrance, death, and transience at Queer Museum Vienna. The show explores how traditional mourning rituals often fail to reflect queer lived realities — how death can mean erasure or reinterpretation, how queer people are separated from chosen families and social contexts. Artists present mourning as collective experience and envision queer alternatives to funerals and burial sites. The work spans installation, video, performance, and film, with pieces on lesbian vampires, drag queens as undertakers, and the remembrance of destroyed autonomous spaces. Curated by barbara stöhr. Thu–Sun 2–6pm. Free entry.
