Amazing gelato, the best we tried in Sorrento during our five day stay. This is a must try if you’re visiting the area. The shop is within a five minute walk of the train station and extremely affordable. Rick Steves featured this gelato shop in his Sorrento episode and guidebook and for good reason too. Yum!

Very good gelato! This place is on a quiet one-​way street a block from the train station. There’s another gelateria in town called Davide so don’t get confused. This is the one Rick Steves recommends:-)
Cute, fun ambiance with lots of outdoor tables. Big menu with lots of fun gelato based drinks, sundaes, waffles, etc. (though we just stuck to regular cups of gelato.) Lots of flavor choices, all house made.

Heard about this place in Rick Steves’ book. It was delicious. Gelato made in house, plenty of flavors, but not so much to overwhelm you. There were a lot of local kids at this place so that speaks for itself. They offer not only gelato but crepes and waffles and there is also a fridge with desserts. It is located downhill, to the left after exiting the train station. Convenient location, yet far away from the crowds.

I wish we had this back home!!! I tried as many gelato places as possible while exploring Italy, and this was by far my favorite! The staff was always friendly and there are many fun choices. I tried the biscotto, cocco, and nutella. All were delicious, but cocco was my top choice. The real coconut makes it so fresh and delicious.
Since i wanted to try as many gelaterias as possible, i went to a different one each day. This was the only one I really wanted to go back to and wish I could’ve taken with me. It’s a good thing it has to stay in Italy, otherwise, I’d have to go to the gym twice a day. I’ll be dreaming of this until my next trip.

Crepes were fantastic! The waffles look amazing. The volcano cake was delicious! Definitely worth a stop here!

Best. Gelato. In. The. World. The flavors explode in your mouth. Thank you David! We had the lemon (it is Sorrento after all) and it was the perfect lemon sugary goodness, like fresh lemonade. The pistachio was so creamy and nutty it was like eating a handful of nuts.

Ein Aufenthalt in Sorrent ohne mindestens einen Besuch bei der Gelateria David ist ein Frevel!
Über 100 Sorten selbstgemachtes, köstliches Eis erwarten einen in der laaangen Eistheke. Normale Sorten wie Zitrone, Himbeer oder Schokolade gibt es dort ebenso wie das etwas ausgefallenere Lakritzeis. Das Fruchteis heißt nicht nur so, es sind auch tatsächlich richtige Früchte drin. Beim Zitroneneis hat man hin und wieder eine Spelze der Zitrone drin, und wenn im Spätherbst die Himbeerzeit vorbei ist, gibt es eben auch kein Himbeereis mehr.
Wie überall im Süden Italiens kriegt man keine kleinen Eiskugeln, sondern das Eis wird mit einem Schaber großzügig auf die Waffel oder in den Becher gestrichen.
Die Eisbecher sind ebenfalls gewaltig und teilweise sehr kreativ präsentiert. Man kann sich bei Regen oder Wind in die Gelateria hineinsetzen, sonst empfiehlt es sich, draußen Platz zu nehmen, um dem Treiben in der Via Marziale zusehen zu können.
Preislich unterscheidet sich David nicht sehr von den deutschen Eisdielen, aber die unübertroffene Qualität ist ihr Geld mehr als wert.
