In a small town, it's nice to have somewhere to go for a drink or coffee with friends and family…read more This place, although small inside (a few tables) has generous seating outside right in the center of the nightlife. They open early in the morning for the before work crowd and stay open late at night until they see the crowds dissipate from the streets. The gelato here is artisanal and quite frankly the best Italian gelato I've ever eaten (and trust me, I've eaten gelato all over Italy) they don't have a huge selection- maybe 8-10 flavors, but each flavor is made with fresh ingredients and natural- no powders and fake flavors here. The prices are reasonable- good value.

Santoro PassionFruit is a lovely, tiny kiosk in front of the sea and sea promenade in Ascea Marina…read more A white cabinet with large umbrellas for a refreshing stop, white-painted pallet furniture and comfy sitting. This is a fruit salad and smoothy bar which is unique in its genre in Ascea Marina: here one can have freshly made frozen smoothies, ice creams, fruit salads and some crepes on request. You can pick the fruits you like for your perfect combination or let the lovely owner prepare something right for you to match your tastes (in case you can't decide on your own). Santoro PassionFruit team cuts fruits and does its smoothies at that moment: fresh fruits and milk or fruits and yoghurt? The lady did an amazing and very refreshing melon and peach smoothie with yoghurt by knowing that I can't eat extremely sweet things. It was delicious: great in flavour, naturally sweet and not frozen but at the right cool temperature. That was pure perfection! Santoro PassionFruit also prepares smoothies with the famous figs of Cilento and it has a fig ice cream too. The selection of ice cream flavours is small but well balanced and genuine.They also do coffee! Super recommended: a huge frozen smoothie is 4€ and you can stay there for as much and long as you like. The team is extremely sweet! I hope it could be open all year around!
