Donna Maria Gelateria Artigianale in Province of Vibo Valentia

"An absolute must in Tropea - one of the best ice creams I have tasted! You see the passion and high profession of the very sympathic and authenitc ice-artesanian: especially in his selected and chosen sustainable cacao beans i.a. from madagaskar and ecuador for the unique chocolate flavors including the local calabrese chili or the awesome tartufo di pizzo. The Sicilian granita water ice is also highly recommended! All the best for this family run gem!"

"The high ratings are there for a reason: really great ice cream for a good price, very friendly service. Best ice cream and Tartufo we had. Much better than in Pizzo. We went here 4-5 times in 10 days with different selections and always very tasty. Can definitely recommend it would come back any time!"

"This place was a real find. Tucked just a little off the main street but still very close and easy to reach. The gelato was absolutely delicious with that unmistakable taste of real ingredients. We went for the classic tartufo which was rich and authentic and spotted they also had pistachio which looked amazing. We couldn’t resist trying the granita too and it was just as fantastic. Everything felt fresh honest and made with love. A perfect stop on a warm day."

"Best gelato and ice creams in Tropea. The service is excellent, central location makes it very convenient. The almond and pistachio gelato tastes fresh and natural - highly recommended."

"If you’re in Tropea, Donna Maria Gelateria is an absolute must! The quality of the gelato is outstanding. Made with love, passion with real ingredients you can taste. On top of that, the people who work there are incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. It’s not just a gelato stop, it’s an experience. Highly recommended! Thanks Nunzio it was a pleasure to meet you. Kind regards, Alessandro"

"Super tasty ice cream – perfectly sweet and so creamy! We also tried the tartufo, both the classic chocolate and the pistachio, and they were absolutely amazing. It’s a little off the main road, but totally worth stopping by if you’re after really good ice cream."

"Day 1 I had my very first tartufo here, so I went for the classic chocolate while my companion chose pistachio, and we shared a bit of both. I ended up liking them equally. The chocolate was deep and rich, with a natural flavor - even slightly bitter and astringent, not overly sweet, which was a surprise. It felt like the exact opposite of cheap, powdery ice cream. The pistachio had a fresh, almost green taste, not cloying at all, and left a really refreshing finish. The service was excellent - a very friendly lady helped us - and it was convenient that we could pay by card. The place is right in the center, though a bit hidden at first glance, slightly away from the bustle of the old historical town, yet people seem to be coming in all the time. Day 2 I returned to have some takeaway tiramisu and it did not disappoint!"

"We’ve eaten a lot of gelato in Europe the last two months and this might be the best so far. Great flavors, fresh, and fantastic service. The bacio di Tropea was so good. If you’re in Tropea, this is the gelato shop to go to. So good, we went back three days in a row. The tartufo was phenomenal. My new favorite dessert!"
