Amorino Gelato

Gelatos have excellent flavor. Lots of great choices.
But, there’s something about the sweetness or maybe the aftertaste that doesn’t feel 100% homemade. Grom is just a bit more creamly and natural tasting and that’s why I’ve deducted 1 star.

We stopped in this place on our way back to our hotel and more importantly for a much needed break from the Midtown chaos.
The staff were nice enough to offer lots of samples before we finally decided on mango, dark chocolate and salted caramel. It’s awesome that you can get unlimited flavors with any size. All the flavors of gelato were very good. The same cannot be said about the hot chocolate. It was watery and bitter. Sadly we could not drink anymore and wasted it.
This place is a nice quit place to take a break from all of the touristy midtown madness. Come for the refreshing gelato and 86 the hot chocolate.

Knocking a star because I was really disappointed by the hot chocolate here. They boast that it’s just like the authentic stuff, but it was nowhere near as thick as they make it in Italy — the texture was uneven and soupy, though it had decent flavor and the fresh cream is great. I saw the barista make it from a package. For over $ 6, pass.

This was an impromptu stop while walking from the Whitney to Madison Sq park… Great stop too! The pictures of their gelato drew us in, i mean their cones looks like roses!!!
We ended up getting two duo gourmets though since we wanted some nice hot chocolate to warm us up. Duo gourmet comes with a hot chocolate and 2 gelato flavors in a chocolate lined waffle cup.
I went with the aztec hot chocolate which was to be spicy but didnt have a kick at all… Cousin went with the hazelnut hot chocolate and you could really taste the hazelnut in hers. Gelato wise I went with pistachio and inimitabile (choc/​hazelnut) and both were yum. Cousin picked the citrus one (agrumes) and another one i forget. We both loves our choices and the edible chocolate lined waffle cup is a nice touch. We left happy :)

Yum gelato with an unique presentation, comfortable seat and clean environment. Definitely going back when it’s warmer.

Who wouldn’t fall in love with the combination of «Flower,» «Gelato,» and «Sorbet»?
The desserts are offered not only deliciously but also aesthetically. I was amazed 1) by the presentation of my beautiful my icecream cone 2) by the amazing texture of my dessert 3) by the rich ice-​cream flavor.
The staffs allowed us to taste as many flavors as possible before choosing. Also, they allowed us to pick as many flavors as we’d like, and made a beautiful flower-​looking cones out of flavors we chose.
I’ve got to say this was my best gelato experience. The gelato was super creamy, but definitely not overwhelming. It was rich in flavor, and tasted even fresh.
Although this place was little bit pricy, I have to say that the gelato was worth a penny.
It was pretty, and it was delicious. How can I not fall in love with its gelato?

Great selection of gelato. The workers spoke to each other in Italian which made the visit that much more authentic. I completely forget the flavors we had but remember that we enjoyed them and would recommend them to others. The gelato provided the much needed sugar rush to help us explore NYC.

I came here with my boyfriend and friends for dessert since it was very warm and hot outside. This is actually my second time at Amorino Gelato. The first experience was at the location on University Place in Union Square. This location is slightly smaller and less seating areas and it was also very hot and humid inside.
There were many flavors to choose from, but my boyfriend and I ended up with the following —
Melon & Banana — I really and truly enjoyed the melon gelato! Possibly one of the best gelatos I’ve had so far. It wasn’t too sweet which I was very happy about it. I’ve never had melon-​flavored gelato, but this was truly a gem! The banana gelato tasted like real gelato, but unlike the melon one, the banana one was on the too sweet side. I actually didn’t enjoy it as much.
Melon & Mango — My boyfriend ordered these two. The mango one was a little tart and a little sweet. He enjoyed both gelato flavors.
Overall, my friends enjoyed Amorino Gelato especially with their rose shaped gelato on a cone. It’s quite creative and beautiful. The experience here was okay, but the seating area just didn’t feel like quite enough and it was definitely not the best and most comfortable dessert place.

The product is top grade. My wife had the espresso frappé. It was way better than Starbucks!
The hot choco was like a chapurado/​maizena italiano style. Very thick! Not for me. Good experience though.
The duo gourmet was actually $ 11 bucks not $ 3 didn’t like the hook and line advertisement.
Customer service was not par. I asked what Armorino tea was and the cashier was confused; he didn’t know how to explain it was just called Armorino, but it was regular tea. He didn’t know how to inform the customers.

The gelato and sorbet here is the best I’ve ever had. My favorites are the caramel, stracciatella, and speculos, and for the sorbet, I love the strawberry and raspberry. I always get a cone because they are so fresh and delicious. It always smells amazing, and the ambience is so nice. I love coming here in the warmer months because the open all the windows/​walls.
Federico (the manager) is super friendly, and he always recognizes my boyfriend and I when we come in (not that that’s something to be proud of).
Prices are good, not the cheapest, but you’re paying for some of the most delicious dessert on the planet.
I’ll come back again and again!

My first time trying Amorino was in Milan, so I was so happy to see this in the city! It’s a nice little shop with table and bar stool seating. I got the small gelato in a cone for little over $ 5. A little pricey but I think that’s about average in the city. I sampled a lot of the flavors before I chose, and the staff were friendly and cool with it. I got so many flavors on my gelato. The best part is you can get as many as you want! I think I limited myself to 7. I love the gelato here!

The gelato here is one of the best I’ve tried. So rich in flavor and creamy. I highly recommend it.
Their macaron are also delicious.
The staff is wonderful! They’re so helpful in figuring out what to purchase. They’d still have a smile on their face even when you’re absolutely lost in the many choices and asks for samples repeatedly.

Amorino offers high quality gelato and creative presentation. There are many flavors, and they allow you to pick as many flavors as you’d like at a flat rate of the price of the cone.
At first it seems like a good deal, but they make each petal incredibly small and the ice cream doesn’t even reach halfway down the cone, so you’ll end up with an empty cone after eating the ice cream petals. It’s a fun place to go for watching people make gelato roses and taking Instagram-​worthy pictures, but there are many places that have better deals for more gelato.

What a beautiful floral presentation of gelato! I was a complete newbie entering so the servers were more than accommodating in giving me the rundown of what this gelato shop does. Basically they serve gelato in flower form, easy enough. I got a small cone with Nocciola Tone e Gentile and Vaniglia Bourbon del Madagascar and both flavors were delicious. The gelato was so creamy. The small portion is definitely enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

In this New York city heat you sometimes need to treat yourself to the best gelato in town. Amorino is such a lovely and memorable experience. The ambiance is beautiful and the gelato flavors are delicious.
I usually get the heritage raspberry, limone di Sorrento, and mango cone or the stracciatella cup. I prefer the cone since the gelato is scooped into an amazing rose petal. The best thing is I do not have to make up my mind when I order. I just need to know what size I want and I can figure out what flavors I want as they are scooping. I do know that only the freshest ingredients are used and they are all natural too.
I had some extra time so I ordered a cappuccino and a stracciatella gelato to stay. The cappuccino temperature and flavor was perfect. Since the espresso was brewed at the ideal temperature there was no bitterness to the espresso shot. I did not need any sugar for my cappuccino, just like I enjoy in Italy. Since the weather was in the 90s I really enjoyed the air condition inside the store. I never knew how much detail went into this store either. The black tile gives the store a sophisticated feeling. The gelato cases look incredible as does the lighting.
If you want to treat yourself to a great gelato in a wonderful atmosphere then Amorino will make you feel like you are in Europe.

Yum! The gelato is delicious here especially the presentation. They serve each cone in the shape of a beautiful flower!
Service here was great! They were all very friendly & allowed us to try as many flavors as we wanted before choosing. I chose the mango, chocolate hazelnut & raspberry which were all so creamy!

I love this place!
My co worker and I came here late at night, in the mood to inhale every ice cream flavor there was!
I was served by Federico, and he was super patient with me! I told him it was my first time, he more than welcoming with me trying lots of flavors. By then, it become a choice of overload and I asked Federico to give me his favorite flavors.
I dont remember all the flavors he gave me, but Tiramisu and this cinnamon cookie definitely stood out to me!
Federico was even more sweet by giving us Amorino’s bracelets. The gelato is delicious enough but with additional superb service, now thats what gets customers coming back!
It is on the pricey side though, my medium cone was $ 8. But I am easily coming back because the welcoming service!

This place serves excellent gelato and given that I live 3-​blocks from it in West Chelsea, it should be my favorite, however, I still have a soft spot in my heart for Grom (maybe it’s cause they use Venezuelan beans in their chocolate) and Cones (love the Corn gelato as it’s so unusual and South American).
That being said, this gelato is excellent and would rank it only slightly behind Grom (thus the 4-​stars rather than 5-​stars), and better than most if not all other gelato spots in the city. My favorite flavor is the Amarena (dark cherry).
Tip: the best way to judge how good a gelato place is before trying it, is by the color or the Pistachio gelato. Brownish/​dull faded green = natural/​authentic; Bright or neon green = chemicals/​fake. As you can see from my pic, Amorino’s pistachio gelato has the right color.
Overall, a great spot and best gelato in Chelsea.

The gelato is creamy, flavorful goodness all in a beautiful rose cone package. Though you can put as many flavors as you want, we usually go with three. The flavors do change a little seasonally, but for the most part they are pretty consistent.
I’m always a fan of Amorino, but this location is even better than the Union Square location. This location is fantastic because of the incredible service! We were looking for something chocolatey and nutty, and the counter lady literally had us taste test all of the flavors all the while introducing every flavor.

When I look for a coffee shop this is exactly what I’m looking for! Sleek but comfortable ambiance and décor that’s clean, warm and inviting. Reasonable prices for incredible quality. Good selection of treats and snacks. Friendly and prompt service.
Cappuccinos = awesome. One of the best I’ve had.
Gelato = rich, decadent, obviously high quality ingredients. The coconut reminded my mom and me of a coconut scoop we’d had in the Caribbean. The pistachio was so absolutely true to pistachio taste — no simulated flavor here. It was almost a savory flavor only a hint of sweetness.
Staff = a bunch of Italians working the Italian café! They’re happy to banter about your time in Italy, and I’m certain will help you practice your grammar if you’re learning the language.
I loved the cherubs located throughout the shop. It makes me feel like I’m in an Italian museum without being gimmicky.
I’d like to try some of the cookies, macarons, and other baked sweets but am saving it for my next visit.
