"Best gelato in Sorrento hands down. The owner is almost always here and makes his gelato with love (and great skill!). He may not have 30 to 40 flavors, but his gelato has the best quality ingredients and he takes great pride in his product. A popular tourist item is a real lemon filled with limone' gelato. Many of them are pre-made and ready to go. Fresco makes ir right there and his limone is the best flavor as well. Support this shop, it's the best gelato you'll find while in Sorrento."

"The sorbet tastes great when you get to the bottom half that's soaked in lemon. The outer part is not bad, and it's recommended to put a little less of the outer part."
