About
Servers at the West Village location are often cute and polite, according to regulars. L'Arte del Gelato opened in 2005, founded by a Sicilian immigrant who learned gelato-making from masters across Italy. This flagship shop sticks to traditional recipes using fresh milk, hazelnuts, and seasonal fruit. It's a casual, family-friendly stop for a budget-friendly sweet treat.
"L'Arte del Gelato offers some of the city's finest gelato at fair prices for this borough."
The neighborhood spot attracts a mixed crowd of all ages. Hours run 11am to 10pm daily. If you're in the area, nearby Katz's Delicatessen is another institution worth visiting, but save room for the gelato.
Located in the West Village of New York City, a charming neighborhood known for its historic streets and LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere.

“Top Quality Gelato Without the Attitude”
L'Arte del Gelato offers some of the city's finest gelato at fair prices for this borough. The Chelsea Market spot skimps on portions and service could be warmer. At the other location, the staff tends to be attractive and courteous.
