Great service.great gelato. somebody tried to cut in front of me, but, the guy behind the counter noticed ,and served me first.no cutting of line here. My friend got the pistachio and it was really good.i got something else that was equally good.best gelato in Italy. Worth your euro.
Had to get the gelato from here based on all of the wonderful reviews. However, once we got into the shop, the guy behind the counter was very rude, basically yelling at us asking what we wanted. I asked if I could try something (because I had never heard of the flavor before), but he just glared and said no....

Best gelato I had while in Europe and I ate a LOT of gelato. The man behind the counter is very nice and patient. I saw him putting up with a crazy American woman who was rude to him.
I have been to Vernazza 3 times. Every time I make sure I get a gelato at this place. Wonderful fresh gelato. Pistachio my favourite.
I went to Vernazza on a trip with a tour group and was told about this place! I am so happy I found it! The gelato is fresh anddelicious! They have some great choices as well. You can get a cone and just on the docks and enjoy the view!

Out of all the gelati I have tasted throughout the US and Europe, this place definitely takes 2nd place. Some really different flavors. The gelato itself is creamy and the flavors are up front, not just a hint of something. If you are in the Cinque Terre, don't miss this one!
I ate ice cream allover in Cinque Terre and this one was the best in my opinion. The shop is just down in the harbor and you can enjoy your gelato on the rocks admiring the scenery.
the other tripadvisors were right, it is marvelous icecream. best pistachio ever. it is tiny, right at the harbor, and they do nothing but ice-cream. no cappucino, nada.
