The story
Gelados do Atlântico sits in Horta’s Praça Infante Dom Henrique, a sunny ice-cream shop by the Azorean coast. It’s a casual stop for a cone, but local travelers may want to temper expectations.
The Italian creator behind Sentieri Golosi found the gelato “nothing special” by Italian standards. He singled out the stracciatella and strawberry as “not good,” while the pineapple and passion fruit were merely “mediocre” — a steep €7 for two scoops. For those craving a cool treat, this spot may underwhelm.
