I have been here numerous times over the past 7 years to get ice and it is always wonderful and scrumptious. One of the best ice stores around the area . They sell bottled water for .50 here too which is cheap . I love the ice in the glasses too they are incredible delicious.They stay open late too which is good if you want a late night . We were in Pompeii to visit the ruins, and afterward we walked to the square to visit the church, and I saw this ice shop. I'm glad we stopped, ice cream, similar prices to ice shops in Naples (I worried it would be overpriced, but no!). The staff was friendly, the flavors were great, and I loved the pistachio. The water bottles are only 0.50€ (as of June 2025). Plus, they put chocolate on the bottom part of the of the ice cream! 😍 it was the only ice where we had that option, delicious! I love the at this shop!! Every flavor I tried was amazing! I was only in the area for a few days, but I visited this every day! I highly recommend it if you are in the area. Good place after a long day at Pompei. Very creamy and made to perfection! If you are vegetarian, do ask for flavours without egg as some flavours have egg in them. They do have other food items apart from like caffe crema and other coffee and bakery items. A must try chain in Italy😋 We tried their vegan with coffee and strawberry flavour. The was decent in tatse but the flavours were too especially the strawberry flavour was the best and a must try! Glaces d'une qualité irréprochable, délicieuses !! Fantastic, Italian ice at great prices! You’d think as this is located in the main square, you would be paying high end prices, but no, this sells ice creams at such affordable prices. We tried vanilla and pistachio. Both were incredible. The portion size of the ice is very large. You can easily share one with your partner. Highly recommend a visit here! Obwohl wir alleine im Laden waren, sehr ungeduldige Bedienung, die zur Entscheidung drängte. Bei piccola nur eine Eissorte. Eis sehr cremig, schmilzt (jetzt im Frühling) dahin. Yummy!!!!! The pistachio & almond is to die for. They also add chocolate at the bottom of the cone, WOW! The 2 girls working were extremely sweet. Great experience. I’ve arrived in Italy, which means you must try Italian gelato. I highly recommend trying it here. A small note about the place: Customers may find it challenging to make their choices comfortably due to the staff’s rush, possibly due to the heavy crowd. Brilliant! Great Ice very generous portions Die Eis-Philosophie in Italien werde ich nie verstehen: mal bekommt man bei "medio" zwei Geschmacksrichtungen, mal drei. Hier nur eine. Dafür aber eine wirklich großzügige Portion. Und vor auch echt gut, sehr cremig. Best I've ever had! A must try if you're looking for in this city! Coconut a recommendation. Extra chocolate sauce always offered. This is the second time we came to Pompei and after finishing visiting Vesuvius we decided to have ice again at this fantastic ice shop. Absolutely delicious, creamy and very flavourful ice cream❤️ Best in Pompeii! We couldn’t resist going back two nights in a row because the was just that good. The staff even recognized us on our second visit and welcomed us so warmly. Every flavor we tried was rich, creamy, and absolutely — honestly even better than the we had in Rome. A must-visit spot if you’re in Pompeii! This is by far the best we've tried in Italy so far! Two big ice creams for €7, warm Nutella or chocolate sauce filled in the bottom of the cone, the best smoothest gelato, and nice big scoops! Delicious! Very tasty ice-cream! They have a choice of vegan tastes and have glutein awareness, including gluten-free cones. Excellent service and patient with kids. Ice-cream was ok. Nice chocolate at rhe bottom of the cone! But the staff made me feel as if I was bothering them. There was no que at all, and still they rushed me to make an order fast. When ordering, the interaction was lackluster and unfriendly. Not what I expect from a shop. Wonderful ice at Gioelia, all serviced with a smile Great dessert - Noemi and Oliviana were very friendly and helpful in choosing the dessert! Loved the lemon recommendation Quaint place with plenty of dessert options! It was on the corner in downtown Pompeii and a perfect location to sit down and enjoy the beautiful views in the heart of Pompeii. The two girls working were so sweet and spoke enough English to make it fun and memorable. Highly recommend! On our trip throughout Italy we were on a mission to find the best gelato…this was our number one! From the customer service to the flavor, this small was fantastic! We had pistachio, passion fruit and red fruits…each one to die for! On our next trip to Pompei, Gioelia will be a stop!!! The ice itself was great. But, unfortunately, as some other English speakers have found, the service of the ladies (on two occasions) was rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. They seemed offended by our presence, maintained a disgusted expression throughout serving, and talked to each other in Italian in front of us — very clearly making mocking remarks. They also made a big fuss about paying by card, when it’s clearly a payment method that they accept. By other reviews, the attitude of these particular ladies seems to be a longstanding issue, which still hasn’t been addressed by the owner. Hopefully, this will be taken more seriously, as it taints the experience of an otherwise great store. The best ice I have tasted in my entire life, a lot of flablos and cheap. You should go there without exceptions!!
