At the first US outpost of this Italian gelato shop, you'll find excellent gelato in sweet and savory flavors using local, organic produce, plus baked goods and some savory items.

Can't really think of any other spot in NYC that has gelato this good. You kinda feel like you stumbled across a cute little shop in Italy (except unfortunately you're in Park Slope). Get gianduja.

Real deal Italian gelati. The flavors are amazing, and at times unexpected. Gianduia (chocolate & nutella), Ricotta e Amaretti, Saffron and Chamomile, and Arugula with Orange Zest are my favorites!

Window-service only Gelato spot in the heart of Park Slope, very lively and vibrant corner during the 5th Av Open Street... unique and funky homemade flavours that change daily!!!

This Italian-originating restaurant, cafe, bakery and gelato shop, with beautiful design and a pretty, peaceful backyard, has landed on Park Slope's 5th Ave. The house roasted espresso is gnarly tho.

Still one of the best gelato shops in NYC. Try new butter and salt flavor. It is great!

Stopped for a small desert when mesmerized by the possibilities and my lack of potential. I asked the staff to pick out something for a friend and I. She fell in love with L'Albero ....Perfect.

this local neighborhood spot has some of the best gelato I’ve had in nyc. Up there with Grom, and the peach rivals Fatamorgana’s if you’ve been there (in Rome).

Amazing! Had the hazelnut, but tasted basil & pesto which would probably go perfectly with the roasted eggplant that I also tried. Great little garden in the back. Perfect date/after-dinner spot!

Cutest ice cream garden ever. Try the non-diary chocolate flavor, actually less sweet and darker than the chocolate ice.cream:)

Try one of the savory gelato favors. And don't miss the great, non-paralyzingly-enormous (like Eataly) selection of quality imported Italian specialties inside.
Hannah NicdaoAugust 15, 2014
Absolutely amazing gelato. Almond milk gelato was surprisingly delicious! Hazelnut all the way. And finally found pistachio ice cream that beats Jacques Torres' in dumbo!

This place is so much more than a gelato shop. Incredible local, organic food and fabulous coffee and wine as well. All in a super cute atmosphere... Gotta try it.

Crazy, this is the only location outside of Italy. Favs include: Seme Panini, Goat Cheese with Dark Chocolate or Pistachio gelati, and Sbrisolona (almond cookie)

Surrounded by high walls on two sides, L'Albero Dei Gelati's secluded back garden is quiet and peaceful and sports a cunning garden table along with standard umbrella cafe tables.
Lydia DingSeptember 8, 2013
OMG get the olive oil and thyme flavor. Seriously wont go wrong. Also their attention to detail in the cafe is so cute.

Kid sized is all you need here, it comes piled high out of the cup. Amazing flavors from saffron to savory pumpkin to maple syrup.
SusumuAugust 6, 2016
Gelato stand takes only cash. $4.90 for kids cup, $5.90 for small. Gelato is very sweet so kids cup may be enough.
Kimmie OhhAugust 3, 2020
Their gelato is super creamy! Great selection of flavors!
Lizzy KSeptember 8, 2018

The gelato may get the attention but the panini and frittata are great as well.

Very sweet staff, delicious food, and kid friendly seating in the back, plus outdoor seating.
JessicaNovember 16, 2014
Great example of delicious "slow cooking". Definitely recommend the panettone. The charcuterie plates are great appetizers too.

Lots of dairy free options! And even a couple of vegan almond milk based flavors! The hazelnut is phenom!
F. BastardApril 13, 2016
Pistachio gelato has great texture but it's sadly under-powered flavor-wise. Taste before you commit!

Gelato is absolutely amazing & their backyard is perfect for sitting outside when it's nice out!

They have a toddler play table and enough room for a double stroller in the back!
Sune KaaeAugust 3, 2013
Delicious! Hazelnut, pistachio and vanilla. Get the big cone.
Jeff ForbesAugust 18, 2013
Gianduia was awesome. (Dark chocolate + hazelnut). Probably some of the best gelato I've had in NYC!
eric bornemannAugust 18, 2020
Great gelato - go early especially on hot humid evenings.
Jesse BagelsNovember 9, 2014
More than just gelato, has a nice eating area inside and some killer French press
JuAnne NgAugust 4, 2013
Come try the unique flavors- zucchini flowers and arugula. The farm fresh strawberry flavor is money.
Eden BJune 2, 2019
I love any of the chocolate or nut flavors. Get the walnut flavor when they have it! It's amazing!
Noah MJuly 25, 2015
The savory gelato choices are spectacular: olive oil, arugula, and lots more
Lina TrifonDecember 22, 2015
The pumpkin ice cream & the chocolate mint ice cream are delish!
Cody McBurnettApril 25, 2014
Vegan-friendly! Sorbets, cake, and creamy almond milk-based gelato. Yum!
Brownstone Living NYCJuly 29, 2015
Light, creamy, velvety textured traditional style gelato.. All the flavors are on point.
Erik MichielsenSeptember 16, 2016
This place is a treasure. Lovely breakfasts, savory lunch food, sweet things, and sips to give your day a zippee-dee-doo!
Sarah F. ParsonsNovember 15, 2013
Fun flavors: like parmesan or green bean ice with mint..also wonderful sorbets like mango
Brad AlperinAugust 28, 2014
Real deal gelato. Constantly rotating flavors, and they're all stellar.

Butter & Salt is deeply delicious.

If they have the pistachio gelato in stock, get it. It's life-changing.

Wicked old school Italian family. Sit in the back garden.
Kamila StępniowskaSeptember 20, 2015
