There’s something about silky richness and colorful display cases that whets the appetite for gelato, the Italian cousin of ice cream that’s become popular among New Yorkers. Where to find this delicacy, said the publication Eater.
Gelato is denser and contains less fat than ice cream, resulting in a richer flavor and smoother texture. But the contrast between ice cream and gelato is also cultural. The latter has fewer varieties of biscuits, but is famous for its wide selection of flavors, such as hazelnuts, berries, coffee or pistachios.
Here are some places where you can enjoy gelato and other delicacies in a pleasant atmosphere.
Anita La Mamma del Gelato
Israeli Anita Gelato is known for her Instagrammable gelato. In 2002, Nir and Adi Avital and their mother Anita opened a small shop in Tel Aviv. Today it is an international chain of mini-stores. Bestsellers include tiramisu, honey popcorn, and Cookieman, a gelato made from hazelnuts, meringue, caramel, mascarpone, and campari.
Venchi Chocolate & Gelato
A 140-year-old sweet shop from Turin (the cultural center of northern Italy) that sells coffee, pancakes and gelato in flavors such as pistachios, hazelnuts and dark chocolate. One of the features of the institution is an exclusive cone dipped in chocolate.

L’Arte del Gelato
Founded by Sicilian-born Francesco Realmuto, L’Arte del Gelato entered the Chelsea market in 2005 and its main branch still operates as a counter in the western part of the complex. Its gelatos are distinguished by their special “creaminess”, and the berry flavors are most admired. In season, the store sends a cart of goodies to the High Line, the Oculus, and Lincoln Center.

Gelateria Gentile
This gelateria originated in the Apulian capital of Bari in 1880 and still retains old recipes that allow you to get a product of excellent quality. Flavors tend to be cheesy and creamy, but there are also wonderful fruit-flavoured portions. In case you feel like an affogato, there is coffee on hand. Possibly the best gelato in town. Look for cafes in Nolita, University Place, and Williamsburg.
Caffe Panna
Hallie Meyer’s Ice Cream Parlor is modeled after the laid-back, all-day Roman gelaterias. The store offers flavors such as stracciatella coffee, almond latte, mint junior and butter baguette. Tastes change weekly.
One Fifth
This restaurant is located on the ground floor of one of the most famous addresses in the Village, formerly Mario Batali’s Otto’s Pizzeria. They have retained the informal bar area of their predecessor, where you can sit at the bar and enjoy two or three flavors of gelato (which change every day) in generous portions and elegant presentation. The current chef is Mark Forgione and the pastry chef is Jami Callao.
Cones
Everyone who has been to Buenos Aires knows that Argentinean gelato has its own special tastes, and this kind of especially creamy product has been present in Greenwich Village since 1998 in Cones. While most flavors will be familiar to you—berry, milk, nut, chocolate, and citrus—there are many South American flavors you won’t find elsewhere, like corn, mate, sweet potato brie, and dolce de leche.
Veniero’s Pasticceria & Caffe
This historic East Village pasticcheria (traditional Italian patisserie) and gelateria was founded in 1894 as a pool hall. It gradually evolved into the institution it is today. In addition to all the usual flavors of gelato and sorbet that you can enjoy in the ornate dining room next to the patisserie, there are spumoni, tartufo and other ice cream novelties.
Superiority Burger
Like the previous location, the new Superiority Burger offers several flavors of gelato or sorbetto a day. Cooked by Brooks Headley (former pastry chef at Del Posto), and Darcy Spence. It is not uncommon to find fennel, coconut, labneh, or more savory flavors.
Sant Ambroeus
In 2021, Sant Ambroeus opened a coffee bar and gelateria in Soho with almost 20 flavors and options like affogato and cakes. Bestsellers are chocolate, vanilla, stracciatella and pistachios. There is also the flavor of Sant Ambroeus, which is reminiscent of a vanilla biscuit with a hint of raspberry.
Il Laboratorio del Gelato
In 2002, John Snyder opened the Laboratorio as a small storefront on Orchard Street, but a few years later moved to its current gleaming laboratory-like space on Houston Street across from Katz’s. Dozens of flavors are offered daily, many of which are unusual, such as beetroot, cheddar cheese, and Thai chili chocolate.

Bakery and Cafe Ferrara
Open since 1892, Ferrara is one of the best places when it comes to baking in Little Italy. Try salted and caramel or pistachio gelato. There is also a granita created according to a family recipe.
Dolce Brooklyn – gelato and ice cream
Open since 2016, first at Red Hook and now at Cobble Hill. This gelato and macaron shop serves out-of-the-ordinary treats flavored with chocolate, fior di latte, cookies and cream, salted caramel, and raspberry, mango, and Sicilian lemon sorbetto.
Villabate Alba
This old Sicilian bakery in Bensonhurst is famous for its marzipan cakes, butter biscuits, classic French and Neapolitan pastries, as well as gelato and sorbetto. Flavors include zuppa inglese, biscotti, pistachio and caramel, as well as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
