The perfect after dinner stop ever. Amazing gelatos in every size. The coffee is good too! Definitely a place to step-in. Love the folks here!

The best ice cream/gelato place in Portland. They have 10 or so flavors and they all look interesting. If this was in my neighborhood, I would visit here everyday and try every flavor. I went there around lunchtime, so wait was not so bad. I had Adamio e Eve which is fig leaf and pine nuts flavor it was so good. Also I had hazelnut. Intense flavor of hazelnut was fantastic. I’ll be visiting there often. They have a nice size seating inside and few tables outside.

We’ve been here a few times this summer. One of the rare spots in PDX where you can still get legit gelato after 9pm, open 7 days a week, 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Hours are accurate on Yelp and posted on their door, but the voicemail is outdated (probably too busy scooping to update it).
It’s one of the better gelato places in Portland, made fresh daily with local ingredients, including dairy-free options that still hit the sweet spot. You really can’t go wrong with their seasonal or classic flavors.
Affogato is my go-to here, especially with hazelnut or pistachio:
-$6.95 for a single
-$9.25 for a double
Prices are on the higher end but still reasonable:
-Small (2 flavors) – $5.95
-Medium (3 flavors) – $6.95
-Large (3 flavors) – $8.50
-Pints – $13.00
Service is mostly solid. They’re generous with samples, which is appreciated, no attitude if you want to try a few. During busy rushes, though, things can get chaotic and you may get skipped if your group is unclear or staff gets flustered. Be patient!
Seating: Plenty inside. Outside, there are four small round tables on the sidewalk, two chairs each.
Parking: Free street parking in the area, but good luck finding it during peak hours or weekends.
Restroom: One stall, no toilet seat covers, and a posted sign that speaks for itself:
PLEASE RESPECT THE USE OF THIS RESTROOM.
IT IS BEING PROVIDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.
DO NOT URINATE ALL OVER THE TOILET AND THE FLOOR.
THANK YOU.
(Yes, that’s really posted.)

Pinolo is hands down the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy. It’s a hidden gem in Portland, and I was genuinely glad to see it’s still around after being away from the city for over ten years.
I always go for the Stracciatella, Hazelnut, and Pistacchio—they’re classic, smooth, and packed with flavor. Nothing overly sweet or artificial, just high-quality gelato done right. You can tell they take it seriously.
I used to bring my daughter here back in the day, and those are some great memories. Every time I’m back in Portland, I make a point to stop by. If you’re looking for legit gelato, this is the spot.

This has been my wife’s favorite gelato spot for years, at least a decade. Even while we were dating.
Food:
Sesamo Nero (4/5)
Rich and nutty with a strong sesame and caramel flavor. It was not for me, but my wife really liked it.
Bacio Blanco (2/5)
This one looked very promising, and I really wanted to like it. It has a thick dark chocolate layer, white chocolate ganache, and hazelnut. I love white chocolate and I love hazelnut, but the dark chocolate was too strong and overpowered everything. Neither my wife nor I ended up choosing this flavor.
Tangelo (2/5)
It was okay, but the flavor was very light. After tasting Bacio Blanco, my wife could not even taste it. I could, but it was only a faint orange flavor.
Hazelnut and Vanilla (5/5)
My favorite go-to combination. Hazelnut gives that light Nutella taste, and vanilla balances it perfectly with any other flavor.
Service:
Taste testing is encouraged and very helpful when deciding what to order.
Ambiance:
Usually it is packed and feels almost like standing room only. We went late at night this time with no line and only about six people sitting at the few small tables.
The new flavors are what pull my wife in. The classics are what I always go for. If you’ve never tried it, go and taste for yourself!

Man for not liking Gelato, this place has given me a different opinion. Whenever I’m in the area I come for a couple scoops. It so good and freshly made. Staff make this place friendly and samples are a must!

Bella was amazing and all the flavors I tried were delicious. Got a large chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio – highly recommend!

Best gelatos in town, different flavor combinations, way different texture & taste than your regular ice cream. Staff are great at providing samples so you can make your choices based upon taste & preference. Personally love the pistachio, lemon, & hazelnut gelatos. Small place to chill & enjoy ur gelato but can get crowded depending time & day.

Love the location and the vibe. There is a flavor for everyone! Can’t decide on one flavor? Mix it up! They also have pints and half pints to go. Yes, I picked up two!
