As someone who always craves sweet AND salty, I loved this place. The spicy cheese fries and grilled cheese sandwich were absolutely delicious, and the desserts were GREAT - try the S'mores Popsicle, or the Brownie Sandwich - my favorites! Everything is made from scratch and obviously from very high quality ingredients. Very cute place to go for lunch, or a ladies night out!
Pros: S'mores popsicle!

First of all the service was with a smile , complete with have a good weekend. Second, I ordered a waffle cone with two scoops and was asked if I would like a spoon...at no charge, the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory where I used to frequent not charges a cup charge if you order a cone and ask for a small cup. Which on a very hot summer night in NYC or the cone will drip all over. But best of all the ice cream was unbelievably delicious. Will go back again and again.
Pros: Friendly staff, great ice cream
Cons: none

What a great place this is. Clean, great variety, great prices, friendly service, many locations, etc. It doesnt matter what kind of ice cream you want, or what size, they'll make sure to satisfy your every desire. Yesterday I found out that they'll be serving soups through out winter. What a great idea!!!
Pros: Quality, prices, variety, service
Cons: You'll gain weight

It was March. It was cold and rainy. I was in Florence and wanted hot chocolate. I saw a place across the piazza and treated myself and my niece to one of the best cups of cocoa we have ever had. But I noticed that the locals were skipping the hot chocolate and diving into the ice cream. I got the message. I ordered their take on chocolate and I discovered that there are worse things than being cold! I was hooked on gelato.
With that as preamble, I have looked far and wide in our area to find gelato as good. Ferrara's is very good (Grand Street). Otto's is wonderful (8th). But Laboratorio's is the best. It's always fresh. They are creative with the flavors (although I still get chocolate on most days). This is a great place in a goofy location.
Like ice cream? You will love gelato. Love gelato? You will love Laboratorio Del Gelato.

I think it's worth it. The friendly staff were great about directing people and being quick. (There is a no-wait stand where you can get your ice cream without the song and dance.) The wait for the normal line was about 20 min but it was bearable because we needed time to decide what to order. Both times I've been there, they played great tunes while you wait. Sometimes they burst into song. As for the ice cream, they have so many options, it's really hard to decide. Just pick something with a bunch of add-ins and come back next time for a different combination. I had sweet cream and raspberries one time and rocky road another time. I really like that it's in the middle of Times Square, near Port Authority and the subways. It's easily accessible and open in the middle of the night!
Pros: delicious, unique, location
Cons: way too many calories, no place to sit, expensive

First discovered Ciao Bella gelatos at Newark Airport and have been a fan ever since. For those not familiar with gelato, it is an Italian style ice cream that has less butter fat than American style. giving it an intense flavored treat that is simply delicious. Yum yum.
Favorite flavors include green tea, pistachio, ginger, malted milk ball and coconut. I also have tasted their treats at Sarabeths Restaurant. They blend the gelato with either brownies, jams or pecan pie to deliver an unbelievable dessert.
Ciao Bella is carried at upscale stores like Whole Foods, Balduccis, some ShopRites, Dean & DeLuca or you can track them down on-line by state and see where you can buy the product at one of their "scoop" stops (like at Newark Airport).
Don't live near A Ciao Bella outpost, order it on-line and have it delivered!
