    Lemon and White Chocolate
    Vincent P.

    After lunch, we had to get some gelato for dessert! Gelateria Vernazza is convenient located in the heart of town, so it's bound to be busy. There was a small line, but it moved pretty fast. 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. If you're looking for gelato in Vernazza, you can't go wrong with this shop!

    The gelato shop is located close to the train station. It's just convenient, i tried their pistachio and STRACCiATELLE on a cone, and honestly neither was impressive.

    I bought an Italian ice in Rome, Florence and Venice.....but none compared to the Strawberry at this Gelateria. Later that evening, I went back and got a scoop of strawberry gelato, and the lady behind the counter recommended the melon (cantaloupe), and I was blown away by both flavors. If it's a hot day in Vernazza, grab a Strawberry Italian ice, and thank me later.

    We wanted to get gelato and noticed two place facing each other in this main road. This one that my wife picked was meh service because when my wife paid with cash they tried to trick her with wrong change. Yes, we are tourists but careful. Gelato quality was meh. I would say skip.

    We love Italian Ice Cream. On this years Road Trip through Italy we've had many. But the one from this Gelateria is the one we loved the most. Great balance - not too heavy, not too light. Creamy, full of flavours. For a big tourist attraction like Vernazza fair priced. Staff was friendly. Really loved the Ice Cream here. The very best one being the wonderful Ricotta. Not only a great ice cream, but a flavour you won't find around so easily. And if so, there's a big chance that it won't taste as good as the one here in Vernazza. Highly recommended.

    Had the peach basil and some long name I can't remember.. But it was OK. One across the street is way better but had to try this one alsl

    Hiking Cinque Terre, so we stopped for some gelato in between. Delicious gelato and in a perfect location in town. The cones looks beautiful and picturesque.

    My friend and i have been sampling gelato since we arrived Italy, and have been eating our way thru 4 cities so far (Milan, Vince, Florence and Vernazza). We think this shop has superb pistachio favor! The shop is small, and the lady clerk spoke just enough English. She's not the friendliest but, hey, We are here for the gelato! I ordered the lemons and pistachio. While the lemon was satisfying (apparently this area is well known for its lemons and olive oil). we really enjoyed the pistachio one. It's so nutty and savory, with the clean finish. Yum!! Since we tried gelato in different shops in different days. We get to compare the lemon favor. We have to say we like the shop that's across the street better. That's it. Just go there and get yourself some gelato while you are here!

    This is my favorite Gelateria in Cinque Terre. If you are visiting all five towns, make sure to try this shop in Vernazza. Paired with Vernazza's gorgeous pier and sunset, is a match made in heaven. It was fresh, delicious, and wonderful have a nice hike during the day. Enjoy my friends!

    Best gelato I had in Cinque Terre. That pistachio/ chocolate combo is delicious. And then topping it with a wafer is the perfect touch. This place has been a Gelato Staple in Vernazza for over 30 years. It's kind of hard to beat. I enjoyed it at 10:00am. That's how good it was. Never too early for Gelato in Italy.

    Recently spent two nights in Vernazza, and I think we hit this place at least four times. Best gelato ever.

    Totally worth trying their gelatos. I got a medium cup of crema 5 terre and crema vernazza. Don't miss it. Must try.

    I came to Gelateria Il Porticciolo about 15 years ago, and honestly, it was amazing back then --…read moreone of the highlights of hanging out in Vernazza. Fast forward to now, and it's not quite the same. The staff isn't very friendly, and trust me, that matters way more than you think when you're on vacation. The gelato itself is still solid, especially if you're into fruity flavors, but it doesn't have that old charm that made it memorable. Definitely good for a quick fruity fix, but "service with a smart smile" was lacking compared to the way it used to be.

    We couldn't wait to get out of Vernazza (unfortunately, our least favorite of the Cinque Terre),…read morebut we would gladly hike back for the cinnamon gelato here. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but almost every review I read mentioned it as a must-try, and I'm so glad I did. It's a strong but delightful cinnamon flavor, and it's not overpowering. Our eyes widened as we ate it, because it tasted exactly the way a cinnamon stick smells. They somehow transformed a basic common spice into something new and exotic. I've never eaten anything like it before. Meanwhile, my husband got a lemon slush because we were hot and sweaty from hiking between towns. It hit the spot perfectly and was so refreshing without being too sweet. Even though I loved my gelato, I also couldn't resist stealing more than a few sips. The location is perfect too, just near the center of town and also near a ledge by the water where you can sit while you people-watch and enjoy your sweet treat. Definitely make this your gelato stop in Cinque Terre. Order the cinnamon, and I promise you won't be disappointed!
