It's always a treat to take friends there. Great selection of gelato, good espresso and even some savory options (crepes).

Cookies Black is the best Oreo-like gelato I’ve ever had.

Cute little gelato shop! You can tell everything is made in-house! So many sorbet flavors, great for those gluten and dairy free people. Service was very friendly and quick.

We stopped in here on our search for some authentic gelato. We tried a few different flavors such as the stracciatella, amarena cherry, cookies black, and hazelnut. The stracciatella was a little heavy on the chocolate but it was still super smooth and tasted great. The amarena cherry and cookies black were probably my two favorite gelatos as they were very well balanced! It's nice and quaint inside and there is some additional seating outdoors too.

If you are within a one-hour drive of this great hidden treasure, I don't care what you're currently doing while reading this review, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND DRIVE THERE AT ONCE. After you've had gelato from Piccolo Gelateria, you will never - I repeat NEVER - be able to find a suitable substitute or even anything that comes remotely close to tasting this good! I've had plenty of stuff labeled "gelato" but I promise you that there is no comparison. If you could eat paradise, it would taste like the Amarena Cherry gelato. Do yourself a favor... pack up the family, pack up your neighbors, pack up your co-workers, and come try this place! I also sampled the hazelnut and the pistachio gelatos. What a shocker - they literally taste like what they're supposed to taste like - hazelnut and pistachio!! There is nothing fake or artificial or chemical about the gelato here! The service you'll receive matches the deliciousness!! Tell them you read my review and yes I actually DID drive in from over an hour away to eat here! PERFECTION!!! 10 outta 10!!!!!Appended review added on Saturday, March 30, 2024:I made ANOTHER trip (twice in the same week) to this WONDERFUL gelateria and tried two additional flavors - Caramelized Fig and Banana Salted Caramel (in addition to my favorite Amarena Cherry of course). All tasted exactly as the name implies and are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! The cafe Americano that I ordered was equally delicious! Before leaving, I purchased a stuffed collectable teddy bear for a dear friend's baby. Can't wait to see the reaction!I'll end my appended review on this... the owners of Piccola Gelateria are probably THE two nicest people you will ever meet! Any time you make a trip to this town, you absolutely must stop by and say hello, grab a cup of coffee/espresso and get a couple of different flavors of gelato. It will touch your soul and your taste buds will thank you for it!
Another Update: once again still the best gelato I have ever eaten. Have to go every time we visit New Orleans! Got our usual plus tried the chocolate and the caramelized fig. Exquisite! There is something almost magical about the pistachio and hazelnut flavors.How many times will I review this? Idk! Still the best gelato I have ever eaten! Do not miss out on this. Try the pistachio and the hazelnut!

This gelateria makes Gelato from scratch and th result is smooth a flavorful. This place serves the best gelato that I've had anywhere. The owner is a delightful person to speak to. This place is clean and convivial. My wife come here for therapeutic breaks or order in bulk for serving guests at home. One of my favorite spots in New Orkeans. You owe yourself the pleasure to visit and enjoy a gelato! It's a block off the Magazine boutique shopping and restaurant corridor.
We rented a house in the neighborhood for a month+ and came here several times each week. This is the smoothest gelato I've ever experienced and they have a rotating selection of flavors. My mom had a savory crepe that she said was delicious and filling. Friendly owners make this a welcoming place that I can't recommend enough.

This has to be the best gelato I have ever tried especially the pistachio…. Out of this world, the staff was soo warm and welcoming and even explained where their ingredients come from, would highly
Wonderful tastes, sorbettos, ice creams. Try the lemon meringue and red orange. After a long walk down from Oak Street through Audobon Park we deserved this treat.
