Gelato Quality and Flavor

  • "Their signature flavor FIGO, was unique and good."
  • "The nerone dark chocolate wins, though."
  • "The gelato is incredibly smooth and creamy while the flavors are incredibly high quality."
  • "The dark chocolate was amazing, the figo (fig and ricotta) was sublime, and the tiramisu was delightful."
  • "The gelato here is not just food; it's a craft, an art form where flavors like Ferrero, Greco yogurt, lemon, an array of chocolates, Nocciola, Mango, and Figo shine as masterpieces of culinary excellence."

Cons:

  • "Honestly, it wasn’t anything special when compared to what you can get at other gelato spots."
  • "I also had the lemon gelato which I didn’t like as much, unless it wasn’t a great combo together."
  • "The stracciatella also didn't have an intense chocolate flavor."
  • "Their signature flavor FIGO, was unique and good but! a reminder, it was really really really sweet. Too much for me."
  • "Although, original cannoli was little soggy, couldn’t enjoy it, didn’t taste fresh."
  • "The caffè flavor was good but nothing special."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "It's reasonably priced (for NYC standards!) and the people working there are always extremely nice."
  • "The gelato is very good and the prices are reasonable as well."
  • "It’s also not overpriced like little Italy can be."
  • "Reasonably priced as you can pick up to 2 flavors for a small cup of gelato at $6."
  • "A medium cup will run you $6.50 but I dare say it is worth it."
  • "And the prices are actually lower than I would have expected for a place like this."

Cons:

  • "Very expensive, boring flavors, employee looked thoroughly bored to be there and the gelato wasn't particularly creamy."
  • "The gelato was great but a little too expensive."
  • "I don’t have problem with paying 7 bucks for medium size cup. My problem is how small the portion is compared to other places."
  • "$36 for four large servings of gelato. The large is too big, however. Get medium or small."
