Antica Gelateria di Roma

Gelato is a central part of Italian daily life and culture. The evening passeggiata (stroll) often includes a stop at the local gelateria. Choosing a flavor is a serious, delightful ritual. A ritual well suited and adopted by Nafplio and all who visit it worldwide. In essence, traditional Italian gelato is an artisanal, fresh, and intensely flavorful frozen dessert that prioritizes the purity of its ingredients over richness and shelf life. It's a creamy, dense, and profoundly satisfying experience that is deeply woven into the fabric of Italian culture. Certainly no disappointment and only the very best served here. You will not be disappointed. For those that are interested in the key ingredients and traditional methods of making these authentic traditional gelato's: · Base: Traditionally, there are two main bases: "Gelato alla crema" (with egg yolks): A custard base made with milk, sugar, and egg yolks. Common for flavors like crema (vanilla custard), zabaione, and chocolate. "Gelato alla frutta" (fruit-based): Dairy-free or milk-based, made with water/milk, sugar, and fresh fruit puree. Used for sorbets and fruit flavors like lemon, strawberry, and peach. Highly recommend

One of the worst gelato I've ever had. Even though the staff was very friendly, their gelato was trash, its texture was that of small ice cubes and it's flavor was mid at best. I wouldn't recommend it to any one visiting Nafplio, go somewhere else...

It's a super delicious and nourishing ice-cream I have ever tried. There are gelato ice-cream and fruit sorbet. I chose the first one a small but not the smallest portion. And it totally filled me up. I recommend.

Delicious gelato in Nafplio with excellent service! We even tried sugar-free options with stevia, and the traditional Italian cassata – tutto perfetto!

‼️This place is just a tourist trap.‼️ I asked to sample the pistachio flavor, but the lady informed me that they don’t offer tastings. I then asked her in a nice way, if the gelato was made using an authentic Italian recipe, and she assured me it was. Well, it definitely wasn't. The gelato was watery, overly green, and tasted like an artificial mix with some whipped cream on top. It was SO BAD that I ended up throwing it away. To make matters worse, the cashier was rude, only asking for the 9€ payment without a word of courtesy. Even after I said thank you, I received no response. It was the worst 9€ I’ve ever spent on gelato. Don’t go there - You’ll be disappointed. It's NO coincidence that so many people mention the same things in their comments below. - Luckily, we found a proper pistachio gelato just 300 meters away at Gelateria di Piazza.

A lovely place to eat delicious gelato. The pistachio is especially amazing! The proprietor is generous and friendly - my family visited the gelateria just before midnight on New Year’s Eve, and he was kind enough to share a bottle of champagne with us to ring in the New Year. We highly recommend this place!

Overrated gelateria. Big disappointment. Yes, the texture was decent. That’s the only positive. The pistachio is a dead giveaway. Way too bright green and clearly made with pistachio flavoring, not real pistachios. On top of that, it was overly sweet. A proper gelato should never be that sugary. My son got tiramisu. It tasted like… something, but definitely not tiramisu. Not even coffee. He took two or three bites and threw the whole thing in the trash. That says a lot. We’ve had plenty of real gelato in Italy, so we know the difference. This isn’t it. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

Italian style ice cream..either with milk or sorbet.. interesting flavours and all in season so now summer you can find Mellon or watermelon sorbet etc etc you can find this gelateria at the heart of old city of Nafplion
