The flavors are so creamy and flavorful My favorite is always coffee, but I tried a flavor called Bacio They have public bathrooms, which is a tourist city so that's a plus The service was great. She was very helpful and friendly. There's plenty of outside seating to enjoy your gelato and some inside bar seats. Also located right off the main street of town. I would recommend this place and definitely coming back on my trip I recommend this place because it's very reasonable. read more

Same great shop but gelato is not the same. Amaretto and mascarpone lemon zest, biscotti and pistachio where much less flavorful that previously. A new recipe or poor ice cream making. Hope it goes back to its former glory! Service is great and ambiance is the same. Fix the gelato please!!!! read more

After dining at Nado restaurant, instead of going to the car to go home, my family just crossed the parking lot and went to NADO GELATO . We got the 2 LARGE sizes, and each cup had 4 scoops of ice cream included, first cup we chose: Mascarpone, Chocolate, Passion fruit and Mocha and for the second cup we chose: Butterscotch, Strawberry Biscotinno, Pistachio Both ice cream cups have a couple of delicious flavors , a few of them we cant taste much of the flavors as described in the list , our top favorites are the passion fruit and strawberry , chocolate . Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and parking is either street parking or in their small complex parking for Nados customers read more

Yum yum yum yummm...(imagine me singing this to the tune of Beethoven's 5th Symphony). This gelato is SO SO GOOD! This is my gelato go-to again on the east side of Coronado. We used to always come here as a family after we dined at Garage Buona Forchetta across the street. We started getting dessert at the restaurant for dinner and had not been here on years. I am glad that we decided to come here. The fruit flavored gelatos are PHENOMENAL here. Actually, all of the flavors are excellent. I decided on a 3 flavor waffle cone, and I am so happy that I did. My flavors were Opera (pistachio & hazelnut), Pear, and Nutella/Hazelnut. This gelato is absolutely decadent, fresh, and delicious. They also serve espresso drinks and they do the espresso pairings with gelato, like affogatos, etc. I usually have Gelato Paradiso but it is on the other side in of Coronado. This hit the spot. I also found out, from the lead hostess (she was working the gelato spot too) that Nado Republic next door is their restaurant. I am going to have to try that out soon! read more

Nado Gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Coronado, California

Some of the best gelato I've ever had- made in small batches and full of flavor. I'll be back for sure!

Overall, average gelato. My guy and I got to try a few flavors before we ordered. I was very grateful for this because we ordered the only 2 flavors that were good to us: Mascarpone Lemon Zest and Blueberry Lemon (Chef's Special). We got a small and the scoops were baby scoops compared to what most gelato places will give you. We ended up getting tired of the flavors after a few bites each and didn't wanna finish the rest. Pretty pricey for the amount you get and average flavors. I don't think I've ever had such disappointing gelato before. read more

Outstanding product, fair prices for quality and portions. Whole family loved it. Fast line too.

If you are a fan of gelato and you find yourself on Coronado island, you should swing by this award winning shop Nado is a sister location to the Gelato 101 locations at Solano Beach and Encinitas. It's a quaint little parlor just around the corner from the main drag of Orange Avenue When we stopped by, this place was packed, but we were able to get our order in no time at all. There is some seating inside the parlor, but you can also find plenty of patio seating as well There are a variety of flavors and sizes you can order ranging from kids to large. You can even take a pint to go. In addition to scoops you have the option to order a smoothie or a coffee Some tips: There are so many delicious flavors to choose from, so, sample all the ones you want to try and get a couple scoops to try a variety. While there is plenty of seating, consider taking your gelato to go and enjoy it as you walk around the very lovely and scenic Coronado island Cheers!! read more

I LOVE NADO GELATO!! I have been coming here for years and it's got to be the best gelato in San Diego. Highly recommend their black vanilla as it tastes like a light yet creamy version of the quintessential flavor. They also give so much for a small size!!

Nado Gelato Review Food: The mojito flavor had a strong lime taste which is great if you're into citrusy flavors. Tiramisu leaned more on the chocolatey side. The coconut was really good and had coconut shreds in it which gave it a nice texture. Passion fruit was refreshing and a good fruity pick. Amaretto was probably my favorite had the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Service: The workers will let you taste test flavors and answer questions. Quick and simple process. Ambiance: Such a cute little spot to grab gelato while walking around Coronado. The inside is small but bright and nicely decorated. Sitting by the windows is a nice way to chill and enjoy your treat. read more

I came here by chance because we just finished up our bike ride next door at Wheel Fun Rentals. I saw there was a line going in, so I looked this up on Yelp really quick and saw there were great reviews for this place. So decided to check this out! The line moved by very quickly, it seemed like everyone already knew what they wanted to get haha. I asked if they do samples (since I didn't see anyone doing that?) but yes they do! I got to sample a few and the pistachio and hazelnut stood out to me the most. Thankfully the small size cup comes with 2 flavors cause BLESSSS. For the price of these 2 flavors in a small cup, it's very affordable! I don't have gelato very often, but the gelato here was sooooo soft and rich. Between the two flavors I got, I actually really enjoyed the hazelnut one the most. It's definitely sooo rich and extremely soft. This made my weekend LOL There's a few table seating around, so great way to cool down after a bike ride. read more

We wanted to try this place after hearing about it, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to our expectations. The gelato was just average--nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. It's okay if you're nearby and craving something sweet, but it didn't really stand out compared to other gelato spots. The inside does have clean and cute decorations, which make the space pleasant to sit in. read more

Yummy gelato. The service could have been more cheery. The female behind the counter didn't crack a smile. Scoops were kinda on the small side for the price. We shared a size small. Outdoor patio tables available. Some of them needed wiping, but I don't think that occurred to the employee. Located on C Ave off Orange Avenue, within walking distance of the Hotel Del Coronado. Otherwise, street parking. Helpful? read more

The only thing worth knowing is that you must get the panna cotta gelato. It's rich, creamy, and actually tastes like panna cotta. I'm less enthusiastic about their other flavors, but that might just be because the panna cotta flavor is overwhelmingly their best flavor. Even if there's a line, it moves at a solid pace. Portion sizes are sufficient to generous. Really, get the panna cotta. read more

Great little place with great gelato and excellent service. Lots of good flavors to choose from, including some non-dairy options as well. Can't beat the area either! read more

We couldn't leave Coronado without grabbing gelato from one of the local shops. Nado makes all of their gelato fresh daily and they had 20 varieties to select from, including several traditional Italian flavors and a few fruity vegan ones. One of the employees welcomed us right as we walked in and allowed us to each try a couple samples. He was so kind and probably would have kept the samples coming had we asked! I selected a small size which is $5.85 and includes your choice of two flavors - matcha and amaretto for me! The matcha had an authentic tea flavor with a nice balance of earthy and milky notes. After not having a matcha for about a week, this was delightful. The amaretto tasted similar to marzipan with tiny bits of crushed almonds throughout; I could have definitely devoured a full cup of just this one. I enjoyed my gelato overall, but it just wasn't as creamy as I anticipated. I also found a small chunk of ice in the amaretto, so I'm not quite sure what happened there, but I can easily look past it. I appreciated that both flavors tasted very natural indeed and neither was too sweet. I'd recommend for a sweet treat after a day of exploring the island in the heat. read more

Stopped by after dinner and very happy that I did. Nado is in the heart of Coronado Island, near Hotel Del Coronado. The have a wide variety of flavors and a big selection of vegan sorbets as well.

We loved this little gelato shop! We were walking around and wanted ice cream after eating lunch. We sampled a couple of flavors and loved the seasonal passion fruit strawberry! It was so refreshing! Service was excellent - the cashier told me some of her faves - the passion fruit strawberry and the coffee! I ended up ordering the coffee for my first scoop and a mocha flavor for my 2nd! We sat inside the store. There are a couple of seats, but the outside area is also great to take a stroll with your ice cream too. read more

Excellent gelato! Not many places that claim to have gelato has theirs as light, with many traditional flavors. I had straciatella (vanilla with chocolate shavings, and amarena cherry (with vanilla), (not bitter, or sour) in a waffle cone. So good, to the gelatiere great job! read more

Panna cotta is the one I settled on. My friends got mango and lemon. All very refreshing flavors. They say gelato is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and natural. The waitress was so kind and let us sample a few flavors. Cute and quaint shop. read more

What a gem. If I could give this place ten stars, I would because last night, I didn't just eat gnocchi... I felt it. Smooth and velvety, rich as a memory, each bite melted in my mouth. I've had gnocchi all over Italy. This bar far was the best. Amazing food, service and vibes. read more

Favorite gelato in San Diego. The workers are always so nice and welcoming! I have been coming here for years.

Very good gelato...not too sweet and the chocolate bites in my ice cream was heaven. They have so many different favors and always ask what the favorites from the staff.

i LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I do miss the banana and matcha flavored gelato though. but i love the variety and new flavors

One of my favorite gelato store in San Diego, Nado Gelato offers a wide selection of gelato flavors ranging from chocolate to tart flavors like berry & lemon. I personally love all the italian flavors (panna cotta, amaretto and stracciatella) but my personal favorite is the opera (which taste like nutella milk ice cream with bits of hazelnut!) Parking can be a bit of a hassle on the weekends but I like to walk around Coronado before treating myself to a small/kid size gelato at Nado. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the service is always friendly & quick. Parking: Street parking Price: $ Recommendation: Opera & Amaretto They do offer coffee but I personally haven't tried it so this review is solely based on their delicious, creamy gelato! read more

Great service! The young gentleman who was working on 1/21/2026 Wednesday evening around 7 pm was so so so kind and friendly. He was very patient with our whole group of families with little kiddos and was very helpful. It's hard to experience great customer service these days and so we really appreciated his friendliness and professionalism! It added to our experience on our first visit at Nado gelato! He deserves a recognition and a bonus and raise! Very clean store as well. Our favorites were the passion fruit, chef's special (mix of chocolate and hazelnut which tasted like Ferraro rocher chocolate), and pineapple! Thank you again. read more
