    Just like Italy!
    Samantha G.

    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.

    The lady who was very rude! !!

    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.

    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!

    Frutto de basco, pistachio and stracciatella
    Sally X.

    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!

    Josephine L.

    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.

    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.

Got here and asked for the NY Cheesecake crepe with Carmel instead of chocolate and he said he has to CHARGE me for Carmel instead of chocolate. Huh!

Being only a few blocks away and rated fairly high, Creperie popped up on my search so I knew I had to stop by on one of my evening walks back from the office. Although a rather tiny little shop, Creperies manages to still have some very limited seating right outside. As well as counter space inside the shop if you don't mind standing and crowding with other people waiting for their orders. I ordered the Strawberry and Banana crepe as it seemed to be a popular option. Size-wise, this crepe is pretty hefty and filling. Comes in an aluminum container so it's much less messy to grab and go. Although sweet, I felt the crepe itself was just ok. Nothing about it really stood out nor made it particularly memorable. They offer both sweet and savory crepes here if you want to make a meal out of it.

Picture this: Friday afternoon, after traipsing from Uptown to BedStuy to get a color correction (thank you, Judith Essien!), I take a stroll along Macon and find this gem of a place. The literal definition of shabby chic in the interior, and just warm and cozy the minute you walk in. I am greeted by the most lovely server (Aziz? I tried looking for him later to get his name, but I'm sure he's West African like me). I ordered Crepe 31 (Smoked salmon, spinach, tomatoes, Swiss cheese and bechamel sauce) of the SPICY variety (they will ask you how spicy you want it); listen I was raised to love scotch bonnets, so I wanted this thing spicy and it was the best!!! What a great balance of creamy, spicy and savory! There's a plethora of crepe options, so I will definitely be back to try the other flavors! Also ordered the Bissap (shout out to the diaspora because this is Zobo in Naija, Sobolo in Ghana, and Sorrel in Jamaica) and it was everything!!! The right amount of tartness and spice. I also highly recommend the turmeric smoothie and the raisin croissant (they warmed it so it was lovely)!!!! I'm coming back next week to try their matcha options and more crepes!
