Since it was mid-day, the town was quite packed, but it didn't take too long to order. For the flavors, I choose basil and mint chip. Both flavors were very good and I quickly finished the gelato on the side of the shop. The basil flavor, especially, is a must! I highly recommend the flavor, it was surprisingly addicting and I would not hesitate to get it again.

We also got the coconut which is equally good but the basil is definitely a must because you don't find it easily. I feel like the hike to Corniglia makes this place even more special.

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.

I really hate to rate any gelateria less than five stars, but the Un Mare di Yogurt gelato had a tiny bit of a gritty texture to it!

You head downstairs and suddenly land on a surprisingly nice patio where you can sit and enjoy your gelato or whatever frozen treat you're in the mood for.

Still, it's a good stop if you want a quiet spot to cool off and relax for a few minutes.

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!

If you're looking for gelato in Vernazza, you can't go wrong with this shop!

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!

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.
