" Every visit to Pinolo Gelato is a treat. I make it a point to stop there every time I'm in Portland. Their gelato takes me back to Italy—it’s creamy, flavorful, and rich without being overly sweet. I especially adore their seasonal flavors and the special feature of the month. The staff is always welcoming and eager to help you find your new favorite flavor. However, the spot is small, and sometimes there’s a wait, but the gelato quality makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

Simply delightful and will be a regular spot for my friends and me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Pinolo Gelato is a quintessential Portland experience! I was impressed by the authentic gelato that does not shy away from creativity—especially during seasonal flavors. I can't get enough of the hazelnut and lemon basil; they were phenomenal. The staff made us feel at home immediately, and encouraged us to sample as much as we desired. It gets a bit packed, but the quality is unmistakable. I look forward to many more visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Pinolo Gelato after hearing about it from so many people! The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting, dedicated to quality gelato. I tried a variety of flavors, but the lemon basil sorbet was a pleasant surprise. The gelato is rich and authentic, reflecting the owners' passion for authentic flavors. The only downside was that the shop is small, making it feel a bit crowded. I look forward to visiting this delightful place again! " (*Curated Review*)

They aim for authenticity, and after trying the hazelnut and affogato, I can say they nailed it! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit even as it became crowded during peak hours. The only downside was the slightly higher prices, but the flavors are worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Pinolo Gelato, I'm reminded why it’s my favorite place for dessert! The affogato is a standout, especially with their rich hazelnut gelato that pairs perfectly with coffee. The atmosphere is warm and homey, perfect for enjoying such delightful treats. I often take my friends here, and they are always impressed. I will keep coming back—they have the authenticity down to a T! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic time at Pinolo! I indulged in the chocolate and pistachio gelato and it was heavenly. A bite of their gelato really transports you to an Italian gelateria. The staff was friendly and the ambiance cozy, though the shop is small, it adds to its charm. Prices can run high for a small portion, but the flavor makes you forget that aspect as you savor each spoonful. I’ve told all my friends to make sure they visit! " (*Curated Review*)
