My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past…read moreweekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

If you think you've had great gelato, Caffe Italia will make you question everything you thought…read moreyou knew. The man behind the magic is Mike, the owner -- and he is the real deal. Born in Italy and trained by the best, making gelato isn't his job, it's his calling. You can taste that distinction in every single bite. Mike is constantly developing new recipes, hand-picking fresh fruit at the market, and importing specialty ingredients straight from Italy when he can't find what meets his standards locally. This is a man who simply refuses to cut corners. My family and I have been loyal customers for nearly 8 years, and what's remarkable is that it's just as mind-blowing today as it was the very first time we walked through the door. That kind of consistency is rare -- and it speaks volumes. Over the years, we've brought roughly 40 friends and family members here for the first time. Every single one of them has raved about it. That's not a coincidence. That's excellence. If you're visiting for the first time, do yourself a favor: try the rainbow cookie gelato. You can thank me later. And while many people get it to go, I suggest having it there. The shop is tastefully decorated, it's clean, it's comfortable. For fifteen minutes you'll think you're in Italy. Caffe Italia isn't just the best gelato in the county -- it may very well be the best you'll ever have. Don't walk. Run.

What a nice owner. He greeted me and he also knew about potential allergens in the food.

She helped us pick our gelato during our visit and also took the time to explain options for event catering, which was super helpful. She let us sample a few flavors so we could choose confidently, and the gelato was outstanding, easily some of the best in the area. The flavors are rich and creamy but not overly sweet, and they taste true to the ingredients, especially the fruit flavors and chocolate/dessert-style options. The shop itself is very clean, well organized, and inviting. If you're looking for great gelato in Greenwich / Cos Cob, this place is a must. Highly recommend.

After dinner in Northport, we were excited to check out Lic's Ice Cream! This cozy local shop has…read morethat true small-town charm and features a great variety of homemade ice creams, gelatos, and even dairy-free options! We ordered: Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip (Vegan) - Super flavorful and creamy for a dairy-free option. The raspberry was bright and fresh, and the chocolate chips gave it just the right texture and richness. Triple Chocolate Gelato - Deep, decadent chocolate flavor with delicate ribbons of chocolate flakes that melted in your mouth. So yummy! You can tell every flavor is thoughtfully made with fresh, quality ingredients. The shop itself is small--just one line in and limited standing room. If it's busy, it can feel a little tight, especially if people are waiting by the wall. But the staff were so friendly and patient, even with a steady stream of customers. Huge props for that! Bottom line: Lic's is a true local gem. Great flavors, kind staff, and something for everyone (including those with dietary restrictions). We'll definitely be back!

Now they even have Dubai Pistachio chocolate flavor !!! This time we had the Dubai Pistachio chocolate and Blueberry Creme Brûlée !!! One scoop each - total came out $12.34. And the scoops are not that big !!!!! Though we do come here occasionally, I am all for the soft serve at Grand Ice Cream .... All because I am a huge fan of soft serves than gelatos.

However, what keeps me coming back is their high quality dairy-free gelatos. I am lactose-intolerant, so I am always looking for options that taste delicious and have the right texture. The coconut vegan gelato is my favorite! For those who can tolerate dairy, there are a wide variety of delicious-looking flavors. As I was sitting at an outside table, one of the owners greeted me... very friendly and welcoming. If you crave authentic Italian gelato, this is the place!

So for the first time, Gelatissimo was a bust and it wasn't only my 2 flavors but the stud muff's…read moreas well which were different from mine. Went there on a beautiful day, a perfect day for ice cream. Going in here is a huge hike for us being that we live 40 miles away. It's always a highlight to go, and we always order large cups when we go. Keep in mind this place is not a bargain, you generally get what you pay for and this place has always been worth it except for this trip. And with all my excitement, I neglected to see how much gelato was left for one of the flavors I ordered, and it was the bottom of the barrel-instead of the young gentleman talking me out of the flavor, he gingerly scraped up with all his might whatever was left in the bottom, then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a flavor that was similar to it... Shame on me I said no, and he proceeded to give me the other flavor I had asked for which is a chocolate brownie. As he scooped, I said you know what give me some of the cappuccino please-he huffed and puffed and arrogantly told me he could no longer do it... Why? You've only done a couple scoops of chocolate what's the big deal. Asking him a question it was like I was asking him a life ending favor. He then huffed as he took my husband's order. As we both ate our ice creams we were very mystified that it was lacking the flavors that it once had. True, we both had tried new flavors that we never had before, but it didn't have the same texture and it was overly sweet. Secondly, my husband got their waffle cone. Now let's talk about how the boy neglectfully scooped that waffle cone... He didn't put any ice cream in the cone only slapped a ball on top - that was it. The ice creams came out to $16 and honestly the waffle cone was flavorless! My husband wound up throwing it away as it probably was one of the worst waffle clones he's ever had. Maybe we need a break but we definitely need a break from that young gentleman who took our order... He needs a little polish refresher course on how to be a little more cordial and Little accommodating. Thank God for the tip cup! As for the parking, it's hell, absolutely satanic but that is not reflective of the rating. You are at the mercy of street parking and not easy to find.
