Their gelato is super thick and rich. The mini cone that comes with each scoop is so adorable. It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth it!
While heading home after barhopping, we passed by this cute gelato spot and decided for a night cap. It's nice that they open until midnight as we were some of the last customers. They also let us sample some flavors. I decided on Pistachio and Milk for a Small Cup ($8.50). It even comes with a mini cone, which is adorable. The gelato is very creamy and authentic like you're in Italy. With that said, I found it rather pricey. Now that I think of it, somehow my total was $23 for two smalls when it should've only been $17+tip.
Actually good gelato. I don't think the pastries are anything remarkable, but definitely a reliable gelato spot with quick service and a cute interior!
The gelato was amazing and I'm not really an ice cream person. The place was clean and big with plenty of seating. The staff were nice. The cake was delicious. The flan as well. I want to go back and get a crepe.
This is the best gelato I've had in the US! It reminded me of my trip to Italy with my husband! Be prepared to wait because this place is popular!! Ambiance: There is a bit of seating inside and outside, but the tables are pretty small!
It was raining and somehow it made me crave gelatos. The best thing about that means there was no line. I got the mandarin & mixed berries. My wife got a dark chocolate with pomegranates and vanilla cream with lemon zest. It was delicious. I just wished the water cones weren't cones so I could place them down on a table. Also I wished we got to try more than 2 flavors max.
New York does gelatos well, and one place helping give this image is Gelateria Gentile. This cute corner shop, nicely lit in a largely residential neighborhood of Williamsburg at night, is open late and people flock here even late in the evening for after-dinner pleasure. But this place can be easily enjoyed during the day with their espresso-based drinks and pastry offerings. I also liked that they have waffle-cone "cups" as an option to the standard cups - but the standard cups do come with the cone put upside down on top of the ice cream so you won't be missing much. The chocolate ice cream was dark and rich - one of the best chocolate gelato I've had in a long time. I would order this again. For the unique flavors, I liked their "crema antica" which is their vanilla cream with lemon zest - I could eat this all the time since it's a simple yet not blasé flavor - perfect for anytime in the day, any day of the week. They had a multitude of flavors on the wall, and based on their flavors, and their pastries, I can definitely vouch that they're sticking with their Italian roots. I'll be back for sure.
Who isn't a gelato fan? We popped in for a mid-afternoon treat with our daughter and our timing was just right. No line and no long wait. In fact, there was seating too! We hadn't done any prior research before going there, so it was a nice surprise to see that the owners are Pugliese, as my husbands family is as well. We enjoyed stracciatella gelato and mixed berry sorbetto for my three year old. They also had a small selection of Italian pastries that caught my eye. I might even order their panettone this holiday season to see if my Pugliese in-laws approve.
I somewhat expected more from this place since the line was out the door and the reviews are so high. I ordered the black cherry and the hazelnut. The hazelnut was the STAR-- it was so smooth and creamy, and if I were to go again I'd just get a jug of it. The black cherry was good enough, but I wish that flavor were more rich. The cream gelato was slightly icy. I also just wish there were more variety in flavors. The spread is pretty standard, so you'll find a classic, but would love some more options. The line moves pretty quickly, though! And it's open late which is always a plus.
Great gelato place. Live the mini cubes topped on the gelato cup. So crispy gelato is creamy n perfect for hot summer nights. Usually long line but moves fast
Beautiful little gelateria in Brooklyn, and the icecream is unquestionably very delicious. Too bad only that they keep the material hidden in large vessels with lids that fail to stimulate the visual appetite.
Great gelato!! Their pistachio flavor was highlighted and recommended! Not too sweet, very creamy and flavorful!
My group and I had a really disappointing experience here, and feel like it needs to be said. The gelato itself might be fine, but the service completely ruined it for us. The woman who helped us was extremely rude, visibly annoyed, and honestly made us feel unwelcome from the moment we walked up. When I asked about the flavors, I had to repeat myself multiple times because she either ignored us or walked away mid-conversation. When she did respond, she rolled her eyes and gave me attitude like I was inconveniencing her just by being there. I understand everyone has off days, but this went beyond that, it felt unprofessional and disrespectful. Customer service matters, especially in a place where people come to enjoy themselves. Unfortunately, this experience left a really bad impression, and we won't be coming back.
Food (5/5): Really good gelato. We got the straciatella and some caramel ice cream. Really solid flavors and gelato. Service (4/5): Short line when we got there but then quickly got busy. We were able to try a few flavors and no issues with the service. Ambiance (4/5): Nice gelato shop with some indoor and outdoor seating. They could use some more seating inside though. read more
I got a small cup of gelato to enjoy in Domino Park. The stracciatella + pistachio flavors are delicious! I got the small cup, which is great because you get two small scoops of the flavors of your choice. Very interesting flavor options that all sounded amazing, it was hard to decide. Cute atmosphere, seems like truly authentic Italian gelato, and staff was very kind! It gets packed even late at night, but it was worth it and I enjoyed my treat. read more

Amazing ice cream. I'm a fan of gelato and this is the real deal! The flavors are traditionally Italian gelato and delicious. I tend to order the cream based gelatos but this time I opted for the frutto de bosco (sorbet) to go with stracciatella and pistachio. The Williamsburg location is very quaint. Love the inside and great tables on the sidewalk. Service was excellent! read more

Cute spot for creamy gelati, but be prepared to walk and eat, as there isn't much seating. Thankfully, this is New York, not Tokyo, so walking and eating is socially acceptable. I love my ultra-white, ultra-creamy Fior di Latte, and this rendition was far better than Eataly's. My other half got the Spagnola, which came with delightfully tart sour cherry. Those feeling seasonal will likely enjoy the deeply nutmeg-y Pumpkin. Oh, and get all your choices in their cone cup. Because....Cone. Cup. read more
Delicious desserts! I was looking for Italian pastries at 9pm last night and found Gentile Gelatieri Williamsburg on seamless.com. Their menu offers a selection Italian sodas, hot chocolate, coffee, expresso, cappuccino (and more), gelato, pastries, desserts and crepes. The selection reminded me of Italy. Everything I love. I'm always looking for gelato, especially since Grom gelato (a great fresh fruit gelato shop that was located over by Central Park Columbus Circle) closed its doors. I couldn't believe it when I found this place. Where have you been hiding? Lol. Plus they deliver. I tried : 1) The Pistacchio Crepe - pistachio spread and powdered sugar on top. It was one of the best crepes I've had in the city! The texture was so satisfying, the pistachio melts in your mouth; the flavors tasted homemade & very fresh. So good! 2) The Torta Nera - Dark Chocolate Sponged Cake. Delicious, moist and not too sweet. The photo online shows it topped with powdered sugar- mine arrived bare, no sugar. Luckily I had some powdered sugar and topped it myself. It was a simple dessert but sometimes you want something sweet and uncomplicated. The torta was the perfect contrast to the crepe. The crepe was the more impressive dessert though. Very different but both enjoyable. Gentile Gelatieri's website has an interesting section on the company's history. They've been a Gelatieri since 1880. Recipes have been "handed down for generations" Originally from Southern Italy they now have shops in New York, including this one in Williamsburg BK. More details are available on their website. read more

I've come here a few times already and every time I come, I always get a really good combination of flavors. You get up to 4 samples before making your order which is really nice on the staff because their menu is seasonal as well as some fixtures. For this particular night I got the hazelnut and the lemon and those flavors complemented each other very well - sour and sweet, slushy and gelato, light and thick. And it came with a small cone which I like the crunch. read more

It's good--but like not $8 per scoop good. I got the crema antica and the pistachio. If you get a small scoop you get 2 flavors. They also only let you try 2 flavors. read more

I like the creamyness of the gelato here but it does err on the super sweet side (and I have a sweet tooth too). read more
Closest to authentic gelato you can find in Brooklyn. They have the trademark flavors in all Italian lingo - tutti frutti, nocciola, etc. They also top your gelato off with a mini cone as well! I always opt for almond, coconut, and yogurt as they are my classic favorites. Not too sweet, not too heavy, and always a favorite treat after dinner. Been a solid regular here and come here when I crave more authentic Italian gelato. read more

I usually love this place. the gelato is incredible. but the last 2 times i've been there my cup was barely filled. granted the place was packed (on a Tuesday at 9 pm, weird) but this is the second time the portion size has been so so little. for the total of 2 cups being 18-19 dollars, it's unacceptable. not sure i'll be back. read more
Stumbled on this place walking around Williamsburg after dinner looking for van leuwen actually. So glad we found this instead, they have such simple yet amazingly done flavours. Definitely be ready to wait a little , two samples per person only, and you get a mini cone with the cup. I got hazelnut and chocolate - lovely flavours and cream and not too heavy. read more

Pistachio & nocciola (hazelnut) gelato tasted premium, nutty and extremely creamy. Each order serves with a complimentary mini cone, surprisingly crispy and not stale! The portion was small and a bit pricey ($8.17/2 favors in a cup), but the store was spacious, cozy and clean. Most importantly, there's a restroom!! read more

It's so nice to discover new dessert places in Williamsburg. After dinner last Friday, my friends and I were in the mood for something sweet. It's always a good sign when you see a big line in front of a dessert place and this place had one wrapped around the storefront. We decided to join the line and asked the people waiting in line for suggestions and it paid off. This place serves up good gelato. They have a variety of flavors. You get 2 tastings before picking your final choice. I figured go big or go home and so opted for the Cono cialdo with 3 scoops of gelato: spagnola (vanilla and amarena cherry) , fondente (dark chocolate) , and croccantino al Rhum (vanilla swirled and topped with caramel and sprinkled with chopped nuts and there's rum in it). All of the gelato flavors I picked were delicious. My husband got the affogato with chocolate and vanilla gelato topped with whipped cream. Coincidentally, my friend ended up getting the same flavors I did and loved them. I will definitely bookmark this place to go back on occasion to try their other flavors. read more

This was a pleasant surprise, I've been walking past all the crowds anytime I'm in the area and want to know what the hype was. They have a great selection of gelato in many flavors. They also sell coffee, pastries, cakes and they have a chart to help you through any allergies. I had an ice cream sugar cone and you have a choice of 2 flavors. They also have free samples if you are unsure. Everyone was friendly, helpful and the store is very clean. I highly recommend them. Just be prepared that you may have to wait a few minutes to get in. The lime does move fast! read more
