Mennella Il Gelato In Napoli

When I eat out in Barcelona, I generally prefer a gelato 🍨 at an ice cream parlor to a dessert at the restaurant I'm eating at. So Imagine how I feel when I'm in Italy 🇮🇹 ! 🤩 Well, it's not that I think that gelato in Italy 🇮🇹 is better than the one I can find in Barcelona, but Italy still is the country of gelato. So after our first dinner in Napoli 🇮🇹, we of course went to have gelato on our way back to our apartment. The parlor we chose is Mennella, on Corso Umberto I. Mennella is actually a chain 😞, but I didn't know that at the time. The place was empty and they had very few flavors left, unfortunately, as it was quite late... which can also explain why the clerks were so moody: they barely talked, never smiled and didn't want to give us spoons because we ordered cones... 🙄 I really felt like we were bothering them. 😤 The texture of the cream was great and it didn't melt too fast. The cream was not too sweet and all the flavors I tried (crema Mannelle which is peanut & almond, and nocciola & chocolate) were very good... All but... pistachio. 😱 That pistachio gelato probably was the worst, or one of the worst, I've ever had. It simply didn't taste like pistachio. 👎 The price was the best part as, in Italy 🇮🇹, gelato is cheap. We paid €2.8 for a "small" 2-flavor cone, which was already quite big. 👍 Quality & taste: 7/10 Quantities: 9/10 Atmosphere: n/a Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 9/10 Service: 4/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10

Not good ice cream, more!!! Try Mennella Rock! Also fantastic almond and orange 🤤 absolutely recommended 🤗

I went for the largest portion size and I was a bit surprised it was 4 scoops, so in short the quantity exceeded my expectations :D Mixed 2 sorbes, caffe and pistacchio cream - all were very tasty and went well together, but next time I'll go for the small portion (I suppose it is 2 scoops) and I will mix one sorbe with one of the other tastes. The service and the quality of the gelato were excellent.

Always excellent ice cream, each flavor has a different flavor, intense and delicate at the same time. Difficult to park in the area, better to get there on foot

We couldn't resist: every day a gelato, and every day we were surprised by its flavors and creaminess. Plus the service is fast and friendly!

Fantastique, exceptionnelle. Les glaces en Italie ,c'est un véritable savoir-faire qui fait partie intégrante de la culture. Ici la qualité est au rendez-vous pour un prix encore relativement raisonnable. Alors ,ne nous privons pas et fonçons.

You must try pistachio ice cream! Ice cream cones are always crunchy. Some of the better folk in Naples

The best ice cream I have ever eaten in my entire life!! It’s a real coup ♥️ to test and retest without hesitation

Ottimo gelato, cremoso e gustoso, completo di cono croccante e fresco. Prezzo un po' più alto della media (giustificato)
