    Black vanilla and strawberry
    Sarah L.

    I LOVE NADO GELATO!! I have been coming here for years and it's got to be the best gelato in San Diego. Highly recommend their black vanilla as it tastes like a light yet creamy version of the quintessential flavor. They also give so much for a small size!! Taking a walk around Coronado then finishing off with a Nado Gelato is the best

    Nado gelato is one of my family's favorite stops while visiting Coronado island. They have great flavors and is always a yummy treat. This visit I tried the pineapple and passion fruit flavors and was very happy with my choice on a nice sunny San Diego day!

    Overall, average gelato. My guy and I got to try a few flavors before we ordered. I was very grateful for this because we ordered the only 2 flavors that were good to us: Mascarpone Lemon Zest and Blueberry Lemon (Chef's Special). We got a small and the scoops were baby scoops compared to what most gelato places will give you. We ended up getting tired of the flavors after a few bites each and didn't wanna finish the rest. Pretty pricey for the amount you get and average flavors. I don't think I've ever had such disappointing gelato before.

    If you are a fan of gelato and you find yourself on Coronado island, you should swing by this award winning shop Nado is a sister location to the Gelato 101 locations at Solano Beach and Encinitas. It's a quaint little parlor just around the corner from the main drag of Orange Avenue When we stopped by, this place was packed, but we were able to get our order in no time at all. There is some seating inside the parlor, but you can also find plenty of patio seating as well There are a variety of flavors and sizes you can order ranging from kids to large. You can even take a pint to go. In addition to scoops you have the option to order a smoothie or a coffee Some tips: There are so many delicious flavors to choose from, so, sample all the ones you want to try and get a couple scoops to try a variety. While there is plenty of seating, consider taking your gelato to go and enjoy it as you walk around the very lovely and scenic Coronado island Cheers!!

    We wanted to try this place after hearing about it, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to our expectations. The gelato was just average--nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. It's okay if you're nearby and craving something sweet, but it didn't really stand out compared to other gelato spots. The inside does have clean and cute decorations, which make the space pleasant to sit in.

    Yummy gelato. The service could have been more cheery. The female behind the counter didn't crack a smile. Scoops were kinda on the small side for the price. We shared a size small. Outdoor patio tables available. Some of them needed wiping, but I don't think that occurred to the employee. Located on C Ave off Orange Avenue, within walking distance of the Hotel Del Coronado. Otherwise, street parking. Helpful?

    Nado Gelato Review Food: The mojito flavor had a strong lime taste which is great if you're into citrusy flavors. Tiramisu leaned more on the chocolatey side. The coconut was really good and had coconut shreds in it which gave it a nice texture. Passion fruit was refreshing and a good fruity pick. Amaretto was probably my favorite had the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Service: The workers will let you taste test flavors and answer questions. Quick and simple process. Ambiance: Such a cute little spot to grab gelato while walking around Coronado. The inside is small but bright and nicely decorated. Sitting by the windows is a nice way to chill and enjoy your treat.

    Small size cup - pistachio & hazelnut

    I came here by chance because we just finished up our bike ride next door at Wheel Fun Rentals. I saw there was a line going in, so I looked this up on Yelp really quick and saw there were great reviews for this place. So decided to check this out! The line moved by very quickly, it seemed like everyone already knew what they wanted to get haha. I asked if they do samples (since I didn't see anyone doing that?) but yes they do! I got to sample a few and the pistachio and hazelnut stood out to me the most. Thankfully the small size cup comes with 2 flavors cause BLESSSS. For the price of these 2 flavors in a small cup, it's very affordable! I don't have gelato very often, but the gelato here was sooooo soft and rich. Between the two flavors I got, I actually really enjoyed the hazelnut one the most. It's definitely sooo rich and extremely soft. This made my weekend LOL There's a few table seating around, so great way to cool down after a bike ride.

    Was in town with my college group of friends after camping and going to the beach and wanted to try this place out that's near the beach. It's pretty good and worth checking out. I ended up getting the lemon zest and raspberry flavors.

    Friendly staff. Very good gelato and very fairly price for an island treat. Stop by you won't be disappointed.

    Coffee and amaretto
    Jade S.

    Very quick service and nice staff. They allowed us to sample a few flavors. The amaretto and coffee blended so well together! Delicious gelato that wasn't too sweet and it was easy to eat and very light. Some seating inside and outside. Everything was clean.

    Small size ($5.85)

    We couldn't leave Coronado without grabbing gelato from one of the local shops. Nado makes all of their gelato fresh daily and they had 20 varieties to select from, including several traditional Italian flavors and a few fruity vegan ones. One of the employees welcomed us right as we walked in and allowed us to each try a couple samples. He was so kind and probably would have kept the samples coming had we asked! I selected a small size which is $5.85 and includes your choice of two flavors - matcha and amaretto for me! The matcha had an authentic tea flavor with a nice balance of earthy and milky notes. After not having a matcha for about a week, this was delightful. The amaretto tasted similar to marzipan with tiny bits of crushed almonds throughout; I could have definitely devoured a full cup of just this one. I enjoyed my gelato overall, but it just wasn't as creamy as I anticipated. I also found a small chunk of ice in the amaretto, so I'm not quite sure what happened there, but I can easily look past it. I appreciated that both flavors tasted very natural indeed and neither was too sweet. I'd recommend for a sweet treat after a day of exploring the island in the heat.

    Stopped by after dinner and very happy that I did. Nado is in the heart of Coronado Island, near Hotel Del Coronado. The have a wide variety of flavors and a big selection of vegan sorbets as well. I got the Passion Fruit sorbet which was very good and not super tar, as passion fruits normally are and was also smooth. The kids portion is a perfect amount as well!

    Yummy on a hot day on Coronado!

But I also think it's important to include that this isn't a basic, regular, run-of-the-mill indulgence. These decadent, house-made gelatos are absolutely delicious, refreshing, and IMHO, priced correctly for the quality of ingredients used, which can be tasted. I was so impressed by the flavor combinations! We were given the option to combine two flavors of gelato in the same cup, which was a fun way to try a couple of options. We tried (and loved!) the Mango Sorbet, the Wild Strawberry Swirl gelatos, along with a Strawberry Kiwi pop. Most of the pops were made with real chunks of fruit, which I loved seeing. The Wild Strawberry Swirl was the crowd favorite. The presentation and the kindness of the staff working the counter were also lovely.

Very delicious and a yummy treat that was perfect for a hot day out on the beach. I saw some really cute looking ice cream popsicles too that I would love to try next time I'm back. There was a small line but it went pretty fast and I enjoyed looking at all the decor like the cute ice cream cone light fixtures. There's also a big popsicle ice cream statue outside the shop you can take a selfie with. It's a small space but the beach beyond is vast and it's easy to stroll and eat at the same time. Overall a really fun stop! I love how much food and amenities in near the Hotel Del and this did not disappoint!
