The ice cream is great, but very bad service. We are the only costumer there, no one else is in the shop and the employee ask us to GO OUT, we can not share the ice cream in the store.

A cute little ice cream shop. The ice cream tastes great. There’s no indoor seats available. Only a table on the side walk available.

New York is not a gelato hub. Most places are not as good as the global, but decent amorino. Sadly the gelato here fell flat on flavour and texture. Watery and so gently flavoured as to be barely distinguishable from each other. Terrific service and care. But, nope, amorino still reigns over a very lacklustre field.

During my recent visit to Gentile Gelateria, I indulged in their exquisite offerings, beginning with their delectable brioche bun paired with almond-flavored gelato. The experience was nothing short of exceptional; the gelato exhibited a remarkable creaminess, with prominent notes of almond that melded seamlessly into a smooth texture, delivering a delightful and nutty sensation with every bite.Equally captivating was their dark chocolate gelato, which stands as a personal favorite. Its rich and intense flavor profile, coupled with a luxuriously smooth texture, left an enduring impression.Additionally, I savored the pistachio tartufo, a decadent treat bursting with flavor. This delicacy showcased a harmonious blend of chocolate, pistachio, and coconut, resulting in a truly indulgent experience that left me thoroughly satisfied and enamored with its richness and complexity.Overall, my visit to Gentile Gelateria was a culinary delight, marked by exceptional flavors and impeccable quality that truly surpassed expectations.

Great ice cream - tried the passion fruit and pistachio. It’s a small place no place to seat

Gelato is delicious, but the attitude of the store clerk is not very good, which ruins the beautiful mood of eating ice cream

Ice cream was delicious. The server at the counter however was rude the moment we stepped into the shop. Because the flavors are in Italian, I didnt know what flavor was what. Instead helping me understand what they were, he became ver flippant and made it very clear that he didnt want to help whatsoever. A damn shame because the ice cream tasted wonderful, but his attitude left a bad taste in my mouth.

My girlfriend and I took a 2 day trip to NYC. Her family is from Sicily and she wanted to try the ice cream from Gelateria Gentile. We went out of our way and further than any other nearest ice cream shop just for this reason. As we were walking in, my girlfriend stopped for a second to take a picture from the outside of the store to share with her dad, and we were greeted by the employee (unsure if owner) with a “Why don’t you ask before taking a picture?”, to which my girlfriend immediately responded, “I am so sorry. I will delete it right now.” He said, “Yes, actually you will. In Japan you can’t even take pictures……” We just looked at each other decided to order but asked if we still had time as they were closing soon. His answer was, “Actually, we closed early so you have 5 minutes.” We just walked out. This happened at 1145 pm on March 30th. This was completely unnecessary. We will not recommend this location to anyone.

Their nondairy chocolate tasted like a half liquid dark fudge brownie. Delicious!I wasn't as big a fan of the mixed berry ice cream. Would've preferred two scoops of the dark chocolate mentioned above instead!

I love this place. Service (6/5) - The server was so nice and really gave a whole run down on everything and made sure we tried everything before deciding on what to get!! Really makes a difference. Gelato (5/5) - Gelato is super good and tasted fresh. Ambiance (3/5) - nothing special and it is super tight. I would say no more than 4/5 people inside.
