Gatto

At Peyra Gelato Galata, near the historic Galata Tower in Beyoğlu, we created ice cream dessert Gatto as a tribute to Italy’s most beloved dessert—tiramisu—reimagined with our signature artisan ice cream. The name “Gatto”, meaning cat in Italian, reflects both our passion for animals and our cultural inspiration from Europe, making this one of the best desserts in Galata for travelers seeking something truly unique.

Gatto begins with coffee-soaked ladyfingers, layered with rich mascarpone gelato, silky coffee cream, and a dusting of fine cocoa powder. It is then topped with soft whipped cream, balancing lightness with indulgence. Each spoonful offers the authentic flavor of Italian tiramisu while carrying a refreshing twist from artisan ice cream, making it lighter and cooler than the classic version.

Tourists exploring Taksim and Beyoğlu who search for “ice cream Galata”, “best desserts at Taksim”, or “desserts near Galata Tower” will find Gatto an unforgettable highlight. It’s a dessert that blends Istanbul’s vibrant atmosphere with Italian tradition, appealing to both coffee lovers and ice cream enthusiasts.

If you’re looking for the best ice cream in Istanbul or a creative tiramisu-inspired treat,  Gatto at Peyra Gelato is the perfect stop during your Galata adventure—where artisan craftsmanship, cultural stories, and sweet moments come together.
