Lots of great flavors! Wish I had tried some other ones. Long line but it moves fast. Menu said lemon with chocolate chips but it was just plain lemon. read more

Santini - Gelato Near Me - Cascais, 11

Nice gelato shop in Cascais close to the train station. I visited in November but imagine it is much busier in the summer months! You pay for your order first before brining your receipt to the gelato counter. I had a combination of a coconut and coffee gelatos. Both were flavorful and you could tell had quality ingredients. I would return. read more

Santini - Gelato Near Me - Cascais, 11

Outstanding Italian ice cream in lisboa. Fruit flavours change with the season so tiu know they are fresh and OG and use real fruits. Had the mango and honeydew melon combo. Tasted so fresh. Had Mango bits too. Less sugar added. The gelato lets the fruit flavours shine thru. Long line ups for sure. Heard some italians raving about how good the gelati is. Also tried the hazelnut and again, the sweetness wasnt heavy but light and refreshing. You can savour the aroma of the nut. A bit pricey but you only live once. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

I'd struggle calling this gelato compared to what you'll find in Italy, but I would say that it is overall a nice ice cream shop with friendly staff. I enjoy the range of flavors and I do appreciate that the fruit ones in particular are seasonal based on what can be grown. Nonetheless, I find the prices to be a bit outrageous for the portion size and do not make a habit of coming to Santini's. read more

This gelato is famous for a reason! Don't let the long line discourage you from giving them a try. The line moves fast and the staff works efficiently. There isn't a lot of indoor seating, there are a few tables outside, but there a plenty of lovely places around to enjoy your treat. Definitely get the passion fruit, lovely, creamy, tangy and tastes like the actual fruit. All of the flavors I tried were delicious (lime, mango, chocolate and vanilla). The menu was only in Portuguese and French for some reason so if you don't speak either, prepare to do some googling. read more

I've never tasted gelato like this. It's a creamy, dreamy blend of anything you can think of. I had coconut chocolate and passion fruit; wow, two flavors that you wouldn't think would go together! I love it so much that I ordered another one, don't judge me. Whenever im in Portugal again, im adding this to my must return to the place! read more

Wonderfully smooth gelato rivaling those found in Italy, although a bit too touristy of an experience. I ordered the pistachio gelato and was not disappointed! read more

Santini - Pistachio gelato - Gelato Near Me - Cascais, 11

Nice place in the heart of Cascais to have some gelato. $3.50euro for a small cup which permits 2 flavors. You pay as you enter and then line up for a server to put together your gelato flavor request. We had heard rave reviews about the place but honestly, I thought it was just ok. But definitely refreshing on a hot day and if you spent the day hanging out on one of the nearby beaches read more

The selection interesting. Service and value wonderful. Went multiple times. Highly recommend tables outside. read more

Everyone made sure to tell us that this was a must-try and it did not disappoint!! It was delicious! I loved how the flavors were kind of mixed as they were scooped so you could make awesome combinations! Mango and vanilla was my favorite! I had it almost every day I was staying here. Another family favorite was chocolate and coconut. They had so many flavor options! We also tried a crepe, which was so good as well!! read more

Delicious! Best gelato in Lisbon IMHO. Has all the right flavors and great texture. Not too creamy and just right. Dark chocolate, coconut, salted caramel, mango and raspberry flavors are some of my favorites read more

Stop by Santini for their yummy gelato! The line was out the door when I was here - it wasn't even that sunny of a day. The line didn't move as quickly as I wanted but I'm from New York. You have to pay for how many scoops you want first. It was a bit disorganized in the store and not much english was spoken but rather a lot of pointing. I enjoyed the coconut and mango flavors. It wasn't the best gelato I've ever had but it was super fruity and did hit the spot. The mango was lighter and more refreshing while the coconut literally tasted like coconut. If you like coconut, then you'll like the coconut gelato. But if you're still craving gelato then you can actually still get some in the Time Out Market! read more

Very good gelato. NOT the best in the world like some reviewers have said, but certainly among the best in the area. What makes Santini stand out are the intense flavors. The cinnamon has bite. The lemon is sour. The coconut tastes like coconut, and the cherry actually tastes fruity and not like "cherry flavor." I would NOT compare this to the best of Italy. This is still ice cream -- thicker, heavier than the best gelato. The fruit flavors here still don't taste like fresh fruit -- not like the best berry and melon flavors of Italy. But I'll still come back. read more

Great gelato in a great town. Had to go with medium cone. Perfect way to end the day wandering Cascais.

Beach. Sun. Ice cream. Happy face. Santini's is situated in the heart of the beach town of Cascais. There's no better place on the strip to cool down after an afternoon on the beach. PROTIP1: the large gets you a combination of 4 flavours! Perfect for sharing with two people. Mango-passionfruit-lemon-pineapple made a great combo. PROTIP2: there's a small (and uber clean) washroom hidden behind a couple doors on the side of the restaurant. We sat outside on the patio. It's a little cramped but great for people watching. read more

Santini - Might be hard to see the sign. It's a yellow building. - Gelato Near Me - Cascais, 11

Amazing gelato - try the dolce de leche and chocolate. Will go back and try the ice cream with pastry!

Ice cream quality is ok, and a bit over proceed on my opinion. The are is enjoyable nice to seat outside.

Best ice cream shop lilivss up to its reputation , I ordered a scoop of mango on cone the prices are of course in euros and very reasonable I loved the ambiance the staff are extremely helpful and friendly read more

Based on the lines you would think there was something incredible going on in this shop. But it's not... Their frozen creations aren't bad, by any stretch (actually quite refreshing). But ultimately this place is nothing to write home about. read more

Best ice cream ever. A bit pricy but definetely worth it. Highly recommend this ice cream experience.

Loved it! I'm from California And normally I would never consider getting plain ice cream or gelato! But Portuguese are very simple and don't eat Much sweets so I decided to try and omg so glad I did!!! I tried The Cascais and coconut ice cream sooo creamy and good! And my son had caramel he loved it! Will be back! read more

Amazing, possible the nicest ice cream I have ever tasted. When you try the ice cream here you realize that what you thought was good ice cream is actually really average compared to what is served here. Great for the entire family. read more

Well, pretty disappointed. I keep wondering how it got so good reviews. Interior:pretty amazing, cool; location:I believe it is like the high street of Cascais, so would be good...tricky to find though coming from the train station; service:ok; prices:too high; taste of ice cream:well, when you pay the price on the list and you get an ice cream tasting like sorbet-it means there is something really wrong. I can buy better tasting, proper ice cream on the streets in Eastern Europe. Even famous ice cream parlours in London have cheaper and better quality stuff. read more

Based off our tour guide's suggestion, we had gelato here and I agree with him that it was very good and the fruit flavors were very strong. Overall - a good gelato selection. We also found this chain in downtown Lisbon. read more

We stopped by because our tour guide recommended this spot. The line, though extending out the door, moved quickly and we each quickly got our médio scoop of gelato. Yummy and fresh tasting! And, surprisingly, not as expensive as we thought it would be about $4.50 each! read more

Had the passionfruit, mango and coconut gelato....amazing. Friends had chocolate (also very good). It's a bit of an odd setup - pay and then take your receipt and fight others at a counter to get served, but well worth it. read more

Make sure you stop by here if in Cascais. I'm not even a big ice cream or sweets guy but this stuff is fantastic. It's not too sweet, subtle, and refreshing after a hot day at the beach It's a bit confusing because you pay first then get your ice cream, but perhaps I'm just used to American ice cream places. I ordered strawberry, coconut and chocolate. The fruits were the true standouts with the strawberry tasting more like frozen fruit than ice cream and the coconut with a rich, nutty but refreshing flavor This'll cost you 4.50 euro for a medium but it's so worth it. Don't pass up on this place if it Cascais read more

Haven't had real gelato in years. This gelato was just as good as I remembered, if not better than what I had in Rome. Even though you might be in Portugal this is one gelato shop you do not want to miss. read more

You want ice in Cascais. Then you could try Santini. They also have locations in Lissabon. First choose how many scoops you want, then pay and then choose your taste. Especially the moca was delicious and the caramel. read more

Average fairly priced gelato in retro decorated red white space. I had double cone with 3 flavors ( under 4 euros) and my mom a slice of cassata ice cream. I ordered fruit flavored gelato ( honey dew, passion fruit and wild fruit) which though tasty all had consistency of sorbet although they were not marked as such.Not a huge selection of flavors and not many inventive ones. Better gelati places in Cascais. But they apparently deliver to your house which is a good option. read more

The place is really cute. The gelato was very good. The lady that worked the register was rude. (Maria) but the other 2 getting the gelato were very nice. read more

Deserves 6 stars and should be considered a Cascais tourist attraction not to be missed. By far the Best ice cream ever. SMOOTH! And the hours of operation are great! I just left (midnight) and it was still open and packed! read more

I ordered a small (2.90 euros) which came with 2 flavors. I chose mango and raspberry which were both bursting with fresh fruit flavor! Love this place! read more

By far the best ice cream I have ever had! amazing service and such a wide variety of flavors, I 100% recommend!

Definitely a strong recommendation. Clean environment, friend and helpful staff and delicious gelato. Unfortunately the did not have the blood orange flavor that was recommended to me yet after trying a few flavors, some my choices others the staffs, I settled on caramel and strawberry. Not only was I not disappointed, I was one happy camper. The strawberry was definitely more flavorful than the raspberry, and the mango had little distinguishing flavor at all. read more

the best fresh home made sorbet in Portugal and may be in Europe. Now they have new new micro algae as ingredients and it taste wonderful.... A must GO and Taste read more

Sadly, Santini did not live up to the positive reviews, and I was quite disappointed. Despite its' long history and Italian name, the gelato bore little resemblance to Italian gelato, which should be sticky, 'stretchy' and intensely flavoured. The chocolate was bland and tasteless, which is not surprising, considering it was the colour of chocolate milk, and the chocolate mint had a strong chemical taste. For truly good gelato in Portugal, go to Veneza in Vilamoura. read more
