As a half-Italian, I’ve found my café here. L’Arte del Gelato is run by a Neapolitan, and the coffee and ice cream taste exactly as they should. The crêpes are just as perfect! The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you want to enjoy truly authentic Italian coffee and gelato, you have to come here. We’re here every day 😅
Finding a gelato shop in Santa Teresa with vegan options has been such a win. We regularly enjoy the vegan chocolate, coconut, and piña colada flavours, and every family member we’ve brought along has found something they love from the selection here! Beyond the gelato, they also offer fresh baked goods, coffee options, and the ability to take ice cream home in different sizes, which is a nice touch. It’s the perfect cool, relaxed spot to hang out after a day at the beach or before heading out for an evening with family or friends. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and always smiling—and they’re generous with samples (probably more than you deserve, but you’ll appreciate it 😄). Definitely a spot we keep coming back to and highly recommend if you’re in Santa Teresa and craving something sweet and refreshing.
Best in town for homemade delicious gelato! I loved the chocolate and turrón flavors best! So fresh and tasty. They also served fresh espresso. A very nice stop at the end of dinner for a tasty treat and/or coffee. Or anytime of the day.
