Finding a gelateria that takes food allergies seriously is always a relief, and our second gelato…read morespot completely redeemed the experience. When I asked if they had any gluten-free flavors, the staff was knowledgeable and readily pointed them out. I decided to order a scoop of the banana split flavor in a cup and asked if they could use a clean scooper to avoid cross-contamination and take from a new section. The staff thoroughly washed the scooper before using. Their accommodation was exceptional, making me feel completely safe and valued as a customer. To top it all off, the portion sizes are massive, but quality certainly matched the quantity because my gelato was super tasty from the first bite to the last.

Whenever I'm in New York, I try to make time for a stop at Amorino Gelato. I usually visit the…read moreTimes Square location because it's conveniently close to where I stay during the week, and over time it has become one of my favorite places to pick up a sweet treat. Times Square can be incredibly busy, so getting there often means navigating heavy crowds, but I still find myself making the trip. During my most recent visit in September, I was especially glad I did because they had a new pistachio cream and vanilla flavor that immediately caught my attention. This isn't a traditional pistachio gelato. Instead, it has a smooth vanilla base swirled with a rich, Nutella-like pistachio cream, which gives it a different flavor and texture from the usual pistachio options. The vanilla keeps it creamy and familiar, while the pistachio cream adds a nutty, indulgent richness that makes each bite more interesting. I really enjoyed the combination and would happily order it again. If you're near Times Square and looking for a satisfying dessert, Amorino is well worth a stop, even when the area is packed.

Heading over for gelato with friends after seeing Wicked sounded like the perfect way to cap off…read morethe evening. The shop itself has a great ordering system where you can use a kiosk, and it was a pleasant surprise to see that all of their gelato flavors are gluten-free, with an actual option to order a gluten-free cone. However, the allergy protocol leaves a lot to be desired. When you order, the kiosk instructs you to let the staff know if you have an allergy when you hand them your ticket. When I told the staff member, she was honest and immediately warned me that there is cross-contamination because the scoops touch regular cones, and they unfortunately do not have a separate stash they can scoop from the back. While I am very grateful for her honesty and transparency, which kept me safe, this is a major flaw in their allergen handling. Promoting gluten-free flavors and cones while using scoops that touch regular gluten cones creates a significant risk. I am glad I did not get sick, but they definitely need to step up their gluten-safety protocols if they want to safely serve the celiac and gluten-sensitive community.

But the taste is great, the portions are huge, and it's definitely worth it! Pistachio: The pistachio flavor is very strong, even a bit salty. Those who like it will love it, while those who don't might find it strange--for example, my dad thought it tasted like salted fish. No Sugar Added Hazelnut: The best of the bunch. The nutty and creamy aroma of hazelnuts is rich, and because no sugar is added, it's not too sweet. A pure yet exquisite flavor. Strawberry Mascarpone & Ricotta: Amazing! It tastes like strawberry cheesecake! The perfect amount of cheese, combined with the refreshing strawberry jam, is simply wonderful. Cranberry: A very simple fruit sorbet. Most people might find it too sour, but for someone like me who loves sour flavors and had just eaten in Thai restaurant like Tha Phraya, it was perfect. Refreshing, natural, and helps cut through the greasiness.

The southern cannoli had good quality chocolate chips, smooth paste, and crunchy shell but was lacking an extra oomph that could have been provided with some citron in the recipe. The Boston cream bombolini was good. It was fresh tasting, filled amply with good quality chantilly cream. The pistachio croissant was freshly baked, light, delicately buttery and crispy infused with lots of decadent pistachio nut cream. There was no line on a Thursday after 5pm.

I ordered the parfait, and while it looked beautiful, the whipped cream had a really unpleasant oily mouthfeel that overpowered the dessert. The staff did offer me a macaron when the topping I wanted was out, which I appreciated, but it arrived noticeably smushed. The gelato itself was decent. The blueberry cheesecake flavor was tasty and actually tasted like blueberries, but the fig was so mild that I could barely taste it. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the condition of the shop. It gets a lot of foot traffic, but it didn't seem like the space was being kept up with. The seating area wasn't very clean, which made the experience feel a bit off-putting while trying to enjoy dessert.

To me the good gelato has to have that perfect gelato texture and theirs did not disappoint. It was delicious! I had two scoops - pistachio and mokaccino (coffee and chocolate ) and my friend had a scoop of fresh strawberry and a scoop of chocolate mint on a cone. The mint had fresh sprigs of mint. So good. They also had sorbet (sorbetti) for those who can't have dairy or are vegan. (Or just love fruit sorbet!) The non-dairy options were coconut and raspberry. I definitely want to come back and try the raspberry sorbet Also, the fountain there is so beautiful, a great place to eat gelato, watch the fountain, and people watch.
