Amazing selection of flavors! Loved the basil and blueberry flavors
Huge and ever changing selection of different flavors of gelato
Angela HuApril 13, 2013The best combo: Moroccan fig, fresh mint & rosemary...now that's true Florentine gelato.- Stephanie NewmanOctober 18, 2013Banana wasn't great but the grapefruit sorbet was to die for - recommend as an after dinner cleanser :)
Village VoiceSeptember 19, 2011Experiment with the wacky and wild gelato flavors this place has to offer -- we recommend the Mango and Plum Sorbert!
Kendall SmithJune 21, 2013Vanilla amaretto crunch + any of their chocolate flavors = match made in global gelato heaven.
Michael HusseySeptember 18, 2018It’s very good, but very expensive. Around the corner is a Van Leeuwen’s that has an equally satisfying Sunday for $6 instead of $12.50.
David BerkowitzAugust 15, 2011All their gelato is practically perfect, whether more savory flavors like black sesame or sweeter picks like strawberry sorbet.
Diana PearlJuly 22, 2013While in line, take a look at the flavors - there's no list and they could ask you to order before you've made it past all of them.
Lulu ChengJune 3, 2012Hard to go wrong with any of the flavors here but black sesame, peanut butter and coconut were standouts
Fior di latte is a must. Best gelato in lower Manhattan
Abdullah Bin DhaherAugust 12, 2014Cream cheese with hazelnut or salted caramel . Chocolate with caramel
All flavors here are made with fresh ingredients. Trust me and try the black sesame.
Just tried the banana and dark chocolate for something traditional & was blown away by the favors. SO GOOD!!!
Go for the kiwi and tarragon - alternate bites for a sweetly tart and creamy experience
- Swedish ChefJuly 1, 2014Opt for a funky flavor or perhaps pick a classic... Better yet try one of each together!
- Mexican cinnamon and dark chocolate is an excellent combination.
Veronica YApril 8, 2015The hazelnut & Turkish fig ice cream was delicious but then I found a hair inside...

"This is a great show venue - I went to cover the Latin Alternative Music Conference and it was a great time. Their bartenders were pretty chill and their drinks were delish. Two thumbs up"
