    Coffee and Nutella gelato
    Maisa L.

    When in Naples, you have to try Il Gelato Mennella! Their gelatos are creamy and delicious! My family and I visited this Gelato place every night as a post dinner treat! My fave flavors are Nutella and coffee - such a great combo!

    Here, you gotta pay for your order first. Then, you choose a cup or cone with your flavors. Most parlors work this way. The ones along Via Medina and inside Galleria Umberto I, work the opposite way. Great thing is you can taste flavors first anywhere. This franchise has a few locations. Their lines are always busy. However, it seemed disorganized on my visit. There were people waiting in line with their paid ticket, but they were not being served by priority. Although I was a foreigner, I spoke up for an elderly man who was too kind and let others go before him. He had been next in line, before at least four other customers. He deserves his treat too, right? The gelato here is extremely creamy, but super sweet. Too much sugar kills the flavor. Despite that, it was still good. They're not my favorite, except I don't mind recommending them to try at least once.

    We were in Naples for the day, and our tour guide recommended this place as "the best Gelato" I will ever have in all of Italy. Now, we did not travel through the entire Italy, but I have to say, this place SLAPS! I cannot describe the creaminess of the gelato, but it's so creamy and it just enhances the flavor even more. We got 2 flavors: Sour Cherry Tart, and Pistachio. I always get Pistachio when in Italy, because it just does not taste like artificial flavoring like the USA. But, the sour cherry was AWESOME. The sour cherry bits in the ice cream really blended in well with the creamy-ness of the gelato. Please come here when you get a chance!! You can really taste JUST the flavoring, and no artificial taste at all.

    On the hunt for the finest gelato and I think I just found it! This spot was located in the heart of the city. Downtown of the area. Not easy to find parking and if you make the wrong turn.. good luck getting out. It was slightly sprinkling outside when I pulled up. I had to try two different ones. I got the wild strawberry and the cookies and cream in a cone. A bite into the cold strawberry and you can taste that is made from real quality strawberries. Not that artificial stuff. The cookies and cream was another hit as it was cookies were still crunchy and not soggy. Not icy either. This was a real treat. Didn't love gelato before till today. Recommendation: cookies and cream gelato. Strawberry gelato in a cone.

    Accessibility (Parking / Wait Time) 1/1 Star: walked here. Only had to wait a few minutes. _____ Service (Waiter / Cleanness / Ambiance) 1/1 Star: quick fast food service, clean, fresh waffle cones smell great! _____ Taste (0=Not Edible / 1=Edible / 2=Good (average) / 3=Must Try!) 3/3 Stars: MUST TRY! I've had gelato in Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Sorrento, Capri, and Naples. This places has the best waffle cones hands down! They're constantly making them at the doorway and it smells great when you're waiting in line. The gelato was soft and delicious! Best to know what flavors you want by the time your number is called. They work fast. _____ Overall Experience 5/5 Stars _____ Last Words Waffle cones are super fresh, crunchy, and delicious! MUST TRY!

    €2.50 for two flavors - so good!!

    Great variety of flavors, and the smooth and creamy gelato costs only €2.50 a cone. The moment you step in you can see someone making fresh waffle cones from scratch, and the smell is absolutely divineeeee.

    It took me a while to approach an aquafrescaia - Naples's version of lemonade stands. Often just…read moretiny bars in cellar doorways in the older streets of the historical center they occupy the roadside kiosks that would be newsstand or information booths anywhere else. Aurelio is one of the kiosk types, but it is also an institution. In the morning it's a quick bar for a caffè, it's closed in the afternoon but from sundown until often the small hours of the night it's a place to quench your thirst. They always have soft drinks and beer but people come for granite (Italian slush puppies), fresh squeezed orange juice, lemonade, Italian flavored syrups or a cocktail mix of any of the above - all for 1-3euros according to your fancy. Open all year for people stopping for a quick water, flavor and vitamin fix on the drive or walk home from a night out, it's real glory is in the summer, when you can tell how sultry hot it will be that night by how many crates of oranges and lemons they are preparing at sundown.

    So I've finally found my Juice Bar whenever I'm in downtown! Their fruit juices are good and…read morethey're at 2 Euro each. I think it should be 1.50 euro for the size you get, but it's still good. I've always enjoyed the Coco and so that's I usually get. It's funny to see some of the other people working there and rocking out to Michael Jackson music. It's karaoke time and you can see the servers moon walking. It's funny to see them work it...
