Best Chocolate Gelato

by ktthalady at Citysearch

This is definitely the best gelato I've tasted anywhere. Very rich and creamy. You HAVE to try the dark chocolate, it's basically cold melted chocolate. The coconut and malt are good too. They also sell pint sized flavors at Whole Foods and several other more upscale grocery stores in NYC.

since first going to italy 9 years ago, i have searched high and low for the taste of the phenomenal concoctions i had every night in rome. at the laboratorio del gelato, this is the closest i have ever come. hits the spot every time.

• Pros: AMAZING gelato
• Cons: no room to sit, and the flavors change a lot so you may not see your fave next time

This is the best gelato I've ever tasted. It makes it hard to go back to ice cream! Everything is homemade on the premises, with fresh ingredients - and you can truly taste the difference. Flavors change daily, but there is always a nice blend of classic flavors like vanilla & chocolate, with unique - but strangely delicious - creations such as honey lavendar (my favorite) and ricotta gelato. They also have delicous sorbets - the mango literally tastes like whipped fruit. I can't visit the Delancy St. area without making a stop here. I only wish they'd expand their hours!

• Pros: best gelato, unique flavors, sampling welcome
• Cons: hours of operation should be expanded
