However, we decided to take a chance when the line disappeared, plus we were desperate. First of all, very expensive for gelato, even more than prices at renowned spots - and tiny scoops! Workers very stingy, even with giving a couple extra spoons. Also, no samples, our first time experiencing that at a shop. Flavors tasted fine, which was this shop's only saving grace. Ultimately, because there aren't many options in Vernazza, it was an okay gelato spot, but the overall experience left a sour taste. Hopefully the servers we encountered were an outlier!

They have plenty of unique flavors that I haven't seen at other gelato shops, so it was hard to choose because I wanted to try it all! I ended up going with the lemon and white chocolate with fruit flavors. Both flavors were very tasty and refreshing, we quickly finished most of it outside the shop.

I got a small cup with pistachio and dark chocolate, as I was in the mood for something nutty and rich. The pistachio was very good--not the most memorable, but definitely nutty and flavorful. They're definitely doing it justice here. The dark chocolate was deep and rich, but maybe a bit too sweet for my taste. My husband got a hazelnut milkshake, which was thinner than milkshakes in the US that use ice cream, but he loved the strong flavors and still enjoyed it. It's probably the only time he's ever been satisfied with a thin milkshake. The people working inside were nice, and there were even a couple chairs right outside where we sat and enjoyed our afternoon treat. A very good option if you're looking for gelato in the city.

I stayed in Riomaggiore for the weekend (2 nights) and managed to stop by 4 times... and even though that might sound like a gross amount of times I enjoyed every single bite each time and definitely could've stayed for more! One of my favorite flavors ever is pistachio when it's made correctly so I was dying to try it out! The first sample I had made me fall in love. The gelato tasted exactly like perfectly roasted pistachios in a creamy form. It tasted so real and fresh and at that moment I knew how much I loved Italy. Here's a short list of all of the flavors I tried (again, I'm not ashamed!) Pistachio - 100/10 Chocolate - 9/10 Chocolate with Hazelnut - 7/10 Nutella - 8.5/10 Banana - 8/10 Watermelon - 10/10 Peach - 10/10 Even if you aren't staying in Riomaggiore, you should definitely make the trip to try this place! At 2 euros for 2 scoops and 2.50 for 3 scoops, it's a deal you can't refuse!

Got the honey walnut with melon flavor gelato for 2 euros; was good but not the best I've had! The server also added a little wafer to my cup. Not many flavors out of the ordinary. Sampled the ricotta and fig which I feel like would be a good flavor to get if you want something different. I thought it was funny when the worker was also eating a cone of gelato herself. Hmm.
