After a fantastic meal nearby on our first night in Cape May in late July we were hot & this gelato completely hit the spot! We came back multiple times during the week. Creamy & delicious gelato on a summer night should be a requirement for all! The staff were all very friendly the & the indoors is lovely - bright & airy. Highly recommend! And until I wrote this review I had zero idea they are only open during the summer! Totally worth the wait.... read more

Decently priced ice cream/gelato especially compared to other places in Cape May. It was busy when my family when it and there was only 1 person working but she was super friendly and patient. There was dairy free gelato which was great for my wife and sister. I had the melon gelato and my wife had lemon. IT WAS SO GOOD! It's about $6 for a small but it's a good size. It's hard to find as it's at the end of a busy shopping mall but it's worth it! read more

Flavorful gelato with an interesting variety of flavors. Ambiance and service leave a bit to be desired. There is one table inside up actually sit down and eat the gelato. read more

There were two women behind the counter. One younger and sweet. And one older and kind of mean. My mother-in-law asked for a third taste of a gelato. She snarked "oh you're trying all the flavors." She made another rude comment to my brother-in-law. But the icing off the cake was when I remarked that it was a lot of gelato that (the younger( clerk had put on my eight-year-old son's cone. The older clerk took the cone from her and removed some of the gelato and put it back. In front of him. And she scolded the younger clerk. Ew. read more

Do not go to this store. We have visited this store for over 10 years and even though the gelato is terrific, the experience has been poor. This year in particular the manager was rude to us when we asked a few questions about one of the flavors. read more

Just walked up. Big sign that says "we are open". Little hand written note that says "See you summer of 2025"!!

Ok, this is a small gelato and creperie in Cape May. The owner makes the gelato fresh daily. This is SUPER good gelato, like the gelato I've had in Italy. Skip the chain ice cream on the mall and walk down to Cione. I had strawberry, chocolate, and cappuccino. All were delicious. I also watched the owner make a crepe--again, she has a real crepe griddle and it looked great! read more

Absolutely amazing! I'm a huge chocolate and hazelnut gelato fan. Never before have I had chocolate sorbet at a gelato shop, and it was unbelievably creamy...and a deep dark rich chocolate. NOT what I expected, but MORE than pleasantly surprised. Excellent service. Highly recommend!! read more

Came here tonight 08-20-20 for some gelato during the COVID crisis. I had a small peanut butter gelato. It was delicious. My only criticism is that you can't leave a tip when using your card. The poor teenage girl was working hard by herself. I apologized for not being able to tip her and explained she was loosing a lot of money. I sat outside to Eat my gelato as the line got long. About 80% of the customers were using a card to pay. Come on guys, can't we figure out a way to leave a tip when charging. Poor kid is loosing all kinds of $$$. read more

Despite the place having a name which is a play on the word 'cone' can you actually get your gelato in a cone? Nope. I do not care for gelato in a paper cup eaten with a tiny plastic spoon. Makes we want to open a gas station called Gas Station and not have gasoline. We went down to Ben & Jerrys and got an actual cone. read more

The service was great and the gelato so creamy and delicious I ordered a waffle chocolate with crushed almond cone topped with Tiramisu and Pistachio read more

This place is great! It is a small Italian gelato shop in Cape May. It is a great alternative to ice cream, not only is it tastier, but it is more healthy. My family and I have been there a few times and we have never been disappointed. They have a good assortment of flavors, my favorite is the strawberry! You can taste the freshness of the fruit in each bite. I crave this treat and whenever I come down to Cape May I make it a point to get it! A little tip, it is cash only and for a small it is $3.50 and goes up from there. read more

Small little gelato house in a group of stores. When we visited they had 14 different flavors. I settled for a small lemon and a peanut butter fudge milkshake. The lemon was definitely of true Italian consistency. And the peanut butter milkshake was nice. It wasn't too strong or over bearing. Their prices were about average for the area. Any less and I could see wouldn't make money and any more people wouldn't buy. read more

Delicious! Fantastic gelato made by Fabio, with ingredients shipped from Italy. Enjoy!!!

Refreshing and delicious! Just as good as in Italy! Worth a trip even if out of the way while in Cape May

Legitimate Italian Gelato. Better than anywhere I've tried - and even better or as good as any gelato I have had in Italy. Amazing stuff. The stracciatella and gianduia are both unbelievable, as are the pistachio and cappuccino! read more

This is the place to go for gelato in Cape May. Absolutely delicious. I have to come back every year, it's just so good. There are a lot of ice cream places in the area, but why get ice cream from some chain, when you can have fresh made gelato? Aside from the gelato itself (and how scrumdiliumptious it is) the prices are decent. And the staff there is always incredibly nice and polite. Even when there's a group of ten people that want to try every available flavor. read more

Authentic gelato! A nice change from the usual ice cream place. A small will set you back $5, and a large $6. You can do half one flavor and half another. I did half vanilla and half salted caramel. Should have got the cappuccino instead of the caramel, it had that weird twang that caramel desserts sometimes get when they are too strong and it wasn't the greatest. However the vanilla was very good and my mom liked the chocolate a lot. They home-make their cones too. Maybe more of a 3.5-star place but it was still good, and definitely a different option than the gazillion ice cream places in Cape May. read more

Ahm, sorry for my english but I'm Italian...;) A truly delightful place where you can enjoy a real Italian gelato, fresh fruit and ingredients natural, this is their winning formula! Good job and keep it up!! ;) read more

This place is a hidden Cape May gem. We've eaten a lot of gelato around the country and this ranks right up there in the top 3. Their consistency and flavors are wonderful. Try the pistachio, pachiuga, and strawberry! We all need to support local small businesses during these COVID times, especially ones like this that make life a little sweeter. read more

Great gelato... Especially the dark chocolate and pistachio. HOWEVER..... Good luck getting it! I have no idea what the hours are of this place. I've showed up at 11am when Google says they are open, they are closed. Can't figure out when they close at night, or why they are closed on random days. No hours posted in the window of the store, thier phone number doesn't work, no hours listed on Facebook, thier website seems to be corrupted. I hate giving my money to the chain froyo place next door, but if you're not open then I can't patronize your store! Also, gelato flavors are not consistent- they don't always stock pistachio for example. Wish they would post daily flavors on FB or have a working phone number so you could check before you waste your time on a trip into downtown. read more

Very good gelato tucked away in a little corner. A must visit. It's easy on the wallet and tasty on your lips. There are about 16 different flavors, my fave was the lemon. read more

Almost like being back in Italy. Delicious gelato. I tried four flavors and three of the four were fantastic. (Watermelon wasn't my favorite). Definitely a good stop for a refreshing treat when wandering around Cape May. It is a little tricky to find tucked back in the shopping center near the main shopping area and the Acme but with hunting it down. read more

Stellar gelato! When in cape may it seems like if you close your eyes and throw a rock, chances are you'll hit an ice cream place! If you're looking for something a little different and very delicious, try this place. They say gelato is healthier than ice cream but I have a hard time believing that something can taste this good and be good for me too. read more

The gelato was very yummy. Hit the spot on this a hot summer day! Friendly staff. Highly recommend

an absolute must stop for my family when we are in Cape May. This is some seriously good gelato in authentic flavors which they let you taste before picking. My favorite is frutti di bosco (and it now comes on a cone for the hater in the old review). Tip: a medium is $1 more than a small and they will split the flavors in a cup making it perfect for sharing and a total bargain AND you can take advantage of the free 30 minutes of parking at the Acme lot. read more

Truly authentic Italian gelato. The creamy, yet dairy-free, peach tastes more like a peach than a peach. Pictured is the peach and vanilla gelato. Can't wait to go back to try more flavor combos. read more

This is probably one of my favorite places to go when I'm Cape May. Their gelato is fantastic!! The fruit flavors just burst over your taste buds and their sweet flavors are delicious as well. Highly recommend!! It looks kinda bland when you walk in, not many decorations but it's a no frills place. That doesn't stop them from making AMAZING gelato though. read more

What a treat. So many interesting flavors to choose from. And so smooth. Why would you buy Ben and Jerry's or Kohr's ? You can't get this authentic Italian treat just anywhere.. read more

Gelato is rarely bad, but this place is excellent. A nice mix of flavors, a few tables in which to sit and enjoy your dessert if you wish, and the woman behind the counter was great too. read more

Is gelato better than ice cream? I'm still unsure, but Cione makes quote the case for gelato. Creamy, all natural, and having less fat than ice cream, you'll probably end up coming here again and again. That Pistacchio...om my it was so good, and relatively inexpensive at $3 for a small, $4 for a medium, and $5 for a large. Must stop on that hot summer day. read more

I can't believe I've missed this spot for all the years it's been around. We make a point to get different ice cream daily during our Cape May stays, but this one eluded us, tucked into the shopping center by ACME. The gelato and sorbet here is NEXT LEVEL. Absolutely divine flavors including some novel ones like dark chocolate which looks black, made from a deep and pure Belgian chocolate with a rich taste. Just awesome. Can't wait to get back. read more

Super good, nice friendly staff, simple (none) decor but it's all about the taste! Would go back again to try different flavors.

YUM YUM YUM!!One of the high points of Cape May in the summer. Best gelato outside of Italy.

If you've ever been to Italy, you know that the gelato is magical. But if you're like me and you want to find a similar experience here in the states, you've been disappointed. It's just not quite as good here for reasons you can't quite put your finger on. Not so at Cione. The gelato is sick! Oh my goodness, best I've had in the states, and believe me, I've tried to recapture the magic at many other places. To top if off, Fabio is a cool cat, and will gladly talk Italian football if you catch him on a break (he is Inter Milan). Make the effort to find this place. It's kind of tucked away, but it's worth it. read more

I wanted ice cream and ended up at this place which serves Gelato. Ive never had Gelato before and wasnt sure if it wpuld hit the spot. It did!!!!!! The guy behind the counter was nice and offered me free samples. O M G!!!!! There was one that had Nutella in it. I ordered that as soon as I tasted it. Soooo incredibly yummy!!!!!! Go!!!! read more

Delicious! Love it and will stop again next time we're on vacation here, I had a mix of Strawberry and then also Cannoli. It was very good and satisfying. read more

Wonderful Gelato, one of the best I have had including places in Italy. I went twice in as many days. So much better than the other ice cream shops! read more

Ok. I rarely leave a bad review. I stopped here this evening after reading so many great reviews, and was dying to try this place. My wife and I had 3 totally different flavors. The coconut was ok, at best, the regular chocolate was tasteless and the dark chocolate was like soup. The young lady serving was extremely pleasant and very nice. But definitely can't understand the high ratings. The gelato was mediocre at best. read more
