Santini is the oldest Portuguese ice cream parlor in Portugal, established in 1949. There are…read moremultiple stores in Lisbon. They are more well known for their fruit flavors. I went with a small, which let me pick two flavors. I went with passion fruit and my standard pistachio. The passion fruit was great, but I've had better pistachio. Even so, I enjoyed it overall.

Amorino Gelato on Augusta Street is a must stop for anyone with a sweet tooth, and the line out the…read moredoor tells you everything you need to know. Despite the crowd, the service moved surprisingly fast and the whole experience felt well organized. You pay based on cone size rather than by the scoop, which means you can load up on flavors without the guilt of counting portions. I went with pistachio, mango and blueberry cheesecake, and the combination worked beautifully. What really sets Amorino apart is the presentation, the staff shape the gelato into a stunning flower design that almost feels too pretty to eat. I also grabbed a Nutella crepe which was every bit as good as it sounds. Beyond the gelato there are plenty of options to explore including their famous macarons, so it is worth taking a moment to browse before you order. If you are walking through the Baixa area, this is an easy and very rewarding detour.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Leave it to me to find an Amorino on my first night in Lisboa. We were walking from Prãca de…read moreComercio and stumbled upon this gem. I frequent the one in the ROD so it was not a shock when I dragged my friends in. It's the exact playbook as the one in Houston. You get in line, place your order and then choose your flavours. I went with my good ole faithful waffle with two scoops (hazelnut chocolate and salted caramel) of gelato and topped it off with hazelnut drizzle. The total was about $6.40 which is way cheaper than it is in the states. It was just as delicious and very much worth it. It's easy to find in you're in the Baixa area of Lisboa. Just follow the path.

I haven't had ice cream for a while because it is freezing cold in New York. So when I was…read moretraveling in Lisbon 2 weeks ago, all the hiking and the weather during my visit got me into ice cream and popsicles almost everyday. Im glad that I tried this place because it was pretty good. Giallo serves Italian gelato and the flavors it serves are very different. I had the coffee and whiskey flavor which was quite interesting to me, it tastes like kahlua ice cream and I like it. The shop was very cute and clean. No complaint and I highly recommend it. I wish I can go back lol

I met the owner, Nuno, on a quiet December evening. My family engaged in really great conversation…read morewith him, and he was genuinely interested in where we were coming from. He's a total sweetheart and for that, everyone should have the privilege of getting to know him better. I asked him if he knew about Yelp, but he didn't -- it's mostly an American thing. I thought hey! In the summer when it's hot, people would LOVE to have good gelato and good company, so why not help him put his business on Yelp?? So I did, and here's my review. Their lemonade was really delicious -- freshly made with light hints of mint. As is with most Portuguese businesses, closing times depend on how the shopkeepers feel that day. However, Natur ice is often open past midnight in the summer when people need a cooler!

I'm giving this shop 5 stars because the snacks were good and Nuno, the owner, is a lovely lovely…read moresoul. So lovely that we put his store on Yelp. Please do say hello if you see him and tell him that you found him through Yelp! See my sister's review for more details, and check out the photos we took so you can admire how the store stretches way far back! Ask Nuno about the history of the building and why it was built that way. :)

After wandering the streets of Alfama in Lisbon on a hot July day, we were looking for some…read morerefreshment - specifically ICE CREAM. We didn't want just the novelty stuff on a stick, either. No, we wanted real ice cream, the kind someone dishes into a cone or cup for you. AHHHH!!! We came around a corner and saw a plush ice cream cone hanging out front of this little shop, so we ventured inside. Talk about kismet! Not only was there ice cream, but sorbet, too. I opted for a cup of hazelnut and dark chocolate paired together. My wife got the same dark chocolate, but with a nice coconut. The place was empty, save for the very nice young woman who served us, but soon it was full. Maybe we started a trend, maybe some passersby saw us and thought they might like some ice cream, too, I don't know. But, here's the other side of the coin, and it's not a downside. The shop has much more than just ice cream. Did you notice the "sardinha" in the name? There are many tins of sardines available for purchase, too. And tea. And wine. And olive oil. And olive paste. And flavored vinegars. And Sal de mer. This little shop, and it is not a very big space, although there was just enough space for the four of us to sit and enjoy our ice cream and the light breeze coming off the water just across the street, has a lot of stuff in it. We found that elusive present for one of our neighbors right in this shop - in fact two presents! The prices are good, the place is spotless, the young woman who served us was pleasant and helpful - this was a gem in an already great city!

I love sweets and this is by farrr , hands down theee best gelato I've ever had. I came back here every day of my trip to Lisbon. You can't go wrong , every flavor is sooo power packed. I'm sitting here trying to think of a favorite and I can't because it's soo good . Oreo, cheesecake, tiramisu, all the gelatos, man I'm telling you! Then there's a nice nook for you to sit and eat in that is a calm vibe or you can sit outside across the street and enjoy! You won't be disappointed. Trust me .

I can't remember what we tried, but they were all so good - you can't go wrong. We settled on the Nocciola (hazelnut) with caramello (salty caramel).

I am not sure it is still called Frozz, but the location is the same and they still serve gelato…read more It is about 50 cents per scoop cheaper than downtown, but probably one of the better places in town. I loved it that they were ok with samples and let you do two flavors in a kids portion. The best flavor they had was citrus-avocado - the richness of avocado and zing-ness of lemon were just such a heavenly combination. I wish we discovered this place earlier and tried more of their flavors. Do stop by!

After walking up to the castle you must definitely stop here…read more Nice small location & the whole staff is friendly. I am not sure if they change the flavors often as the current flavors were written on the board. They will allow you to sample if you ask but I was sure I knew what I wanted. I ordered the hazelnut ice cream & happened to glance at the flavors again & saw a sweet milk flavor. Since I have never heard of that flavor I decided to add that as well. I'm mad at myself for not sampling first. One of them was soooo good. I will assume the sweet milk be definitely not disappointed. Finished it all & got to the cone & I must say that is probably the best cone I've ever had.
