"Gelato sandwich using brioche was a novel and delicious idea! Who knew? Give it a try if you have other gelato stops planned on your tour. Cost was average and better than average for anything near the water."

"If you’re looking for the ultimate pistachio gelato – this is the place. Rich, creamy, perfectly nutty – hands down the best pistachio I’ve ever had. On top of that, the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. This little spot is a must-visit – we came for the gelato, stayed for the vibes, and we’ll definitely be back. Grazie mille – and compliments to the gelato artist!"

"The ice cream here is great! Plenty of options of just ice to smoothies and sorbets. The service is great you can order and just sit down they'll bring it when it's done. The people here speak decent English so it's tourist friendly."

"This place is a little slice of heaven! The gelato is incredibly creamy and packed with flavor — you can tell it’s made fresh with real ingredients. I loved how balanced the sweetness was; it never felt heavy, just smooth and refreshing. The pistachio was rich and nutty, the fruit flavors tasted like biting into the actual fruit, and the dark chocolate was perfectly intense without being bitter. The staff were so friendly and patient while I sampled a couple flavors, and they gave great recommendations. The shop itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe and is spotless. You can tell they really care about the details, from presentation to service. I’ve had gelato in Italy, and this is the closest I’ve found outside of it. If you’re anywhere nearby, it’s absolutely worth the stop — you’ll want to come back again and again!"

"This 10000% recommended. It's a must visit place, if you end up going to porlezza or the neighborhood. The ice creams are tooooo good. And yes, the shakes too. They have several other options and ice creams here are worth the hype. We were in the region for 3 days and all the days we went here... Amazing!!!!"
