Nado is just slightly off the main strip. Their gelato is delicious. You must try it. You will not be disappointed. There's nothing more to say :)

Amazing find just off the main shopping strip on Coronado. The staff was friendly and fast. As I debated which 2 flavors of gelato I should pair, the associate offered me a sample. She then went on to give me a suggestion of a pairing,...and my gelato was amazing. Great find on Coronado!More

Not ice cream! This stuff is soooooooo good! Try the cookies and cream flavor! I don't typically like cookies and cream, but this hits different! So good, so smooth and creamy!

We visit the coronado and wanted to try some local gelato ice-cream establishments which make their gelato from local ingredients on the side. So we visit a place call moo which was on the recommended list but they didn't make pistachio gelato, so we went...down the road to the # 1 rated gelato place in coronado called nado gelato. Unfortunately the pistachio gelato was very sweet and totally absent of flavor. The only correct thing about the gelato was the color. The service was cold and professional.More

Cute little local gelato and coffee place with some neat gelato flavor combos. Walking distance from The Del Coronado. Good product at a fair price.

If you're walking around Coronado and need a snack, this is your place. We come here every time we're on the island and are always pleased. The staff is super friendly and are doing a great job with COVID safety!

The ice cream here is really nice. They make it daily! Really enjoyed the hazelnut ice cream. For me the amaretto was a little sickly.

I am very familiar with this place. Whenever I am in San Diego, must stop here for gelato. My favorite is the pear, and the last 2 times I've been there, I have been lucky enough to get it. This is our favorite gelato place...that we have ever been to.More

A favorite place for a gelato treat. Just around the corner off of Orange Avenue, the main street. Gelato is made fresh daily. I love that they have sugar free choices. The staff is always friendly.

Some of the flavors are dairy free, you would just have to ask them which ones are. All the gelato is made with seasonal fruit so when you go it depends on what flavors are available.
