Camello is an ice cream shop in Wellawatte that used to be in Havelock Road.
Carmello isn't necessarily 'new' to the ice cream scene in Colombo. They had a shop down Havelock Road, which was closed down a few years ago, but now they've claimed an all new spot in Wellawatte.
It's homemade ice cream, and they haven't limit themselves to the generic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors - which we appreciate.
Sadly, most of their flavors weren't available on the day we visited, therefore, we decided to go with three flavors - Fig and Honey (Rs. 180), Blueberry (Rs. 180) and Chocolate Nog (Rs. 150).
The ice cream had tiny icicles wedged in, which isn't something people particularly applaud. Strangely, in this case, we enjoyed it. The ice cream itself was quite creamy, and the teeny tiny icicles made the them much more interesting. Weird, we know. 
I've never really loved Blueberry flavored anything but this wasn't bad at all. With actual blueberry preserve bits embedded into the ice cream, this surpassed my expectations in many ways.
This is the Fig and Honey. Again, like the Blueberry, it was rich with tiny honey coated fig pieces here and there. In terms of flavor, it tasted like vanilla ice cream with a slightly fruity aftertaste. We liked it.
Lastly, we have the Chocolate Nog. We had no clue what a Nog was. According to the lady behind the counter, it refers to the nuts.
However, no nuts were found in this, but we did manage to retrieve a few tiny pieces of chocolate chips. Tasting very much like cocoa powder but very much less sweet than the commercial chocolate ice cream, this flavor was good.
All in all, Carmello is alright. It's good place to be if you're looking for some ice cream without having to sell a kidney for it.

We have actually been there quite a few times as we live in the area and the Blueberry, Pistachio and Fantasy flavours have been amazing. Definitely did not taste artificial.
We always drop in after work and get take away packs as they are very reasonably priced. We served the Strawberry Dream and Chocolate Nog at a dinner we hosted the other day and most of them wanted to know where this place was. They had a sugar-free range as well which was appreciated by the diabetics.
I genuinely consider there to be a distinct difference in the taste when comparing to Ice cream from Carnival or Rio’s as they serve Gelato Ice cream. I wonder if Yamu is aware that even Ill gelato ice creams are made locally ?

We realised the other day we a 500ml tub of Premium Gelato Blueberry Ice Cream was cheaper than 1 scoop at Illgelato, we don't really go there anymore. We get a tub on the way home now. The Blueberry is absolutely AMAZING!
Their Waffle baskets were yummy.We were able to mix a couple of flavours. Chocolate Almond was our favourite!
Best part was they have tubs to take home for almost all their flavours. The kids love going there on Saturdays :)
Keep up the good work guys!
Hi! Could I possibly get some details here regarding the ice cream cart you'll provide for functions ? My daughter went for her friends bday party last weekend and wants it now for hers. Could I get a number to contact you'll on ?
The place looks as if it is closed all the time (but it is really open). Not a very pretty,chilled out atmosphere. But the ice cream is really good. Tried the pistachio one. There were only 3 flavors to choose from sadly.
Nevertheless it was still pretty good.
Would I return again? Probably not. Doesn't seem to be a very appealing place to me. Unless of course it is to go :)
