    Amazing flavors like fig& honey, biscotti are a must try! The place is super clean, new and beautifully decorated with plenty of room to sit and enjoy. Perfect addition to the neighborhood! We also took a quart of Gelato home and can't wait to come back!

    Crack in the form of gelato. Just wow! My wife and I had the hazelnut and pistachio and fell into a coma as we were exiting the cafe. This is an experience your tastebuds MUST HAVE!!!

    Great spot with kind, helpful staff. Offered us delicious samples and recommendations. Everything was creamy & tasty *chefs kiss* And the outdoor seating was a nice plus. We’ll definitely be back!

    The best place to have Gelato, I honestly would recommend them to try this place once whoever is reading this, it was so fully flavoured gelato. I will for sure come back again. It was pretty late at night when I went the service over there was also overwhelming, for sure will come again. The one I had was Rocher & Pistachio really loved it. Got many flavours to choose from. Relax your taste buds after dinner or lunch or a quick date with a SWEET.

    Gelato Flavors are amazing. I sampled a lot of flavors and couldn’t decide so I just got them all ☺️. Brought my friends and family and they loved it as well. The only critique I would give is the Gelato shake needs to be more thick. But definitely going to return

    The young lady was very nice and professional. Great customer service! The older woman however was very rude and made back-ended comments. Seemed offended to serve us and did not make us feel welcomed at all. Kept asking me if i was my cousin’s “attorney,” just because I was speaking for her. (My cousin does not speak english and has never tried a gelato before so I was helping her). I also said “we’re just going to look for now” when we walked in and she replied “yeah, when we say welcome we at least expect a hi back and you can look all you want.” Her attitude was kinda nasty.

    They have amazing gelato. I always stop at this place when I am in the neighborhood. Their gelato has an amazing texture and is delicious. My favorite flavor is hazelnut and pistachio gelatos. I also tried their rice pudding it was very good. Lastly, the people working are very friendly. One of the best ice cream spots on Long Island. I will get pictures next time when I stop there.

    A nice change from standard ice cream shops. Gelato has a texture and taste that is far superior in my opinion. These guys here serve up really tasty Gelato which is definitely worth trying. Standard flavors like Hazelnut and pistachio are available as well as more American flavors like oreo. A few cakes are available here too but this spot is mainly known for their Gelato. This is also a great spot to grab dessert post dinner which is what we did.

    Okay place. Visited from our of State. Some of the pastry was very good, some just good. I did enjoy one pastry that was sugar free with an almond on top. I don't know the name because the staff didn't know the name 🤨 I really liked the pistachios puffs. I didn't try the gelato and it looked good. Next time I visit NY I will stop by to try the ice cream🍦🍨 It may be better ☺️

    Authentic gelato and sorbet, delightful flavors. The ladies serving you are very helpful and welcoming. They let you taste before making your final decision.

  • 5/5 Paul G. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious treats for the discerning palate!! The flavors are subtle but powerful. The owner and staff are delightful. Great way to end a date or to mark the end of a crazy workweek. They're open until 10 pm, so you can satisfy that late evening impulse for something sweet.

    If I'm going to be paying top dollar for gelato? I expect to keep retreated with kindness not if I ask where is the size? What does the pint size look like and be told it's right in front of you. Did you laugh that was good? But the service leaves a lot to be desired you have lost another customer.

    I used to love the Gelato here. My recent visit I was given low cost whip cream out of a can instead of the fresh whipped cream that was usually served. When asked if I could have the fresh whipped cream the girl rolled her eyes and said it cost them too much money. So I will no longer go here and spend $13 for two small cups of Gelato.

    Cute neighborhood gelato shop open late for after dinner sweets. A huge plus is they have a small outside patio sitting area and two restrooms (though one was out of order when I visited). They also have some seats inside. I sampled the hazelnut and forest fruit flavors. They were okay but tasted kind of light and not very creamy or strong in flavor. I ended up asking one of the employees what her favorite flavors were and ended up getting those two flavors in a small cup. I ended up getting Ferrero rocher and pistachio. Those two flavors were actually very good, creamy, and strong in flavor. In the Ferrero rocher, there were small pieces of chocolate which gave the gelato a bit of texture differentiation. Also, the wafer that they put in the cup is delicious and crispy. All in all, I’d come back to try more of their flavors.

    Great selection of fresh gelato. We tried the cotton candy, mint chocolate chip, rainbow cookie, and cannoli, all we're really good. Cute place too, nice decor.

  • 5/5 Vincent C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fig & Honey, Coconut, Rainbow Cookie are my favorite flavors. I wish it was more affordable so that I can come more often. I love coming hear but only get to as an occasional treat. I feel $6.95 for a medium cup of gelato is quite expensive although I have no idea what there expenses or costs are. I will say that this is some of the best gelato I've had in Nassau county.

    Very nice staff, food and environment. I don't consider Gelato a 5 star experience so with a 4 star rating I consider this a top place for Gelato.

  • 5/5 Robert M. 1 year ago on Google
    Small little place nice alternative to typical ice cream shops this is gelato. It is also a cappuccino coffee shop. Nice little alternative to the giant chain of Starbucks as well. Wide variety of choices.

  • 5/5 Abby D. 1 year ago on Google
    The best shop for gelato and a good time! The staff were very kind and patient with us, and the ambiance was adorable. They have a variety of delicious flavors, the most decadent being the Ferrero Roche. I will definitely be returning!

    I came in multiple times. This place was so amazing from the second I stepped in. It is so pretty inside. Perfect for Instagram photos. And the desserts and gelato was so good definitely recommend!

    Went during lunch time with family. I'd say extremely friendly environment. Excellent place 👌 excellent gelatos. Very clean. Just like the sign says - gelato calories don't count. Will be returning for my caffeine dose. Thank you guys for bringing absolutely great gelato in the neighborhood. Good luck!
