L’Arte del Gelato

I ordered a small — half coconut sorbetto and half pistachio — for $ 5.17 including tax ($ 4.75 without).
the scooper was competent but not particularly friendly. he seemed annoyed by my questions.
yes, the gelato was delicious, though i did feel granules of fat sticking to the roof of my mouth. not that it was annoying so much as a testament to the richness of the gelato.
the lincoln center park setting is what really makes this particular gelato experiences so wonderful. i visited on a weekend in mid-​september so note that the stand does stay open beyond its stated end-​of-​august closing.

Some of the best gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve never been disappointed. Living next door to this is dangerous! Some favorites include yogurt with mixed berries, dark chocolate and orange, and amaretto. So good!

This is my favorite gelato place in the city! It is a ice cream stand that is tucked in the corner of Lincoln center by the fountain. I wish they were here year around, but alas they only come during the summer. The gelato itself is very creamy and not overly sweet, which I find most gelato places to be. They do have a more limited selection of flavors compared to Grom which is a few blocks from this place. However, they do carry all the standard flavors like pistachio, hazelnut, coffee, stracciatella.

YES TO L’ARTE DE GELATO.
I studied abroad in Italy for half a year, so I’m preeeeetty picky when it comes to gelato, but I stumbled across L’arte after attending a press event at Lincoln Center, and I was surprisingly not disappointed!
I got Pistachio and Stracciatella, both of which were amazing and just as I remember from various places in Italy, which was impressive. The girl who was working had a great attitude, despite being put out in 90 degree heat with only a small umbrella to shade her. Go her!
I’ll definitely be stopping by again if I’m in this area.

About a hundred notches better than the generic and mediocre ice cream trucks all over Manhattan is this little seasonal ice cream cart in Lincoln Square.
The flavor are exquisite — I am partial to the melon and the mint chip.

We ended up at L’Arte del Gelato after a whirlwind day trip to NYC. We had eaten dinner about an hour before and had walked up to Lincoln Center from the theater district. I checked the other reviews on Unilocal before we took the plunge at L’Arte del Gelato. I have to concur with the other reviewers in saying that this is excellent gelato. I had hazelnut and panne cotta, my wife had a large hazelnut, and my daughter and son both had chocolate. All were delicious! The gelato was thick, cold, and creamy– the perfect ending to a glorious NYC summer day. We will definitely visit this stand again. It’s cash only, so bring your greenbacks with you. ;)

I’m going to plan a nice summer day for you…
Get some Gelato from this adorable little cart… walk it on over to the Lincoln Center greenroof… sit in the grass, take in the sunshine and sights, and enjoy.
This gelato is as delicious as the reviews let on, but you really can’t go wrong with gelato — let’s face it! They don’t have a huge selection of flavors, but they have all the important ones, and that’s what counts!

The ice cream is ultra smooth and jam-​packed with flavor.
The smoothness is an understatement. Unlike other ice cream shops (or a cart in this case), flavours are quite often, blended until completely uniform. I ordered the mint chocolate chip which had discernible chocolate chips however the other two flavours I tried, which was «tiramisu» and «stracciatella» had no «pieces», «chunks, or «swirls» of flavours. The ice cream because of this preparation looked plain but it was very flavorful I would recommend any ice cream aficionados to give it a try!

Way better than every other gelato place I’ve tried in NY. This little cart takes me right back to Abruzzo. For $ 5 you get a small cup with two flavors. I highly recommend pistachio and straciatella combo. Delicious! Do not walk past this little cart!

Ordering can take awhile. There is a frenzy at the counter, where great importance is placed on choosing the right flavor. Customers watch others sample new flavors and then change their own orders based on their reaction. So go in there decisive, knowing what you want. I mixed Pistachio and Banana. YUM, YUM, YUM. Smooth, creamy, delicious.

ran into this cute little gelato stand right outside the guggenheim. i had heard raving reviews about it so i had to try it out. even though they had technically just closed and were packing up, they were happy to serve me and the hubs. we got tiramisu and pistachio and both were so incredibly smooth, creamy, and the perfect amount of sweetness. this is 100% comparable to the bellagio gelato shop, which many Unilocalers liken to (or argue is better than) authentic gelato in italy! noms x 1 000 000. only downside is that this was a little pricey, but all was made up for in taste and convenience. :)

This little cart doesn’t have as many flavors as their Chelsea Market location does, but hey, it’s got the ones that I love most.
–Pistachio: this has more of an aftertaste of pistachio whereas while you are eating it, it tastes mostly like a creamy version of the outside salty shell. It’s delicious.
–Hazelnut: it’s perfect. Period.
Together these two flavors work incredibly well.
FINAL VERDICT: maybe it was the heat that made this gelato this creamy but I really enjoyed it. This little stand didn’t have the peanut butter, Gianduja and Olive Oil flavors that I wanted to try so I’ll have to give it another go.

Hate this place! I walk by it on my way home everyday and it is literally on my mind starting at noon time.
I purposely eat less at lunch so I can save some room for Gelato on my way home

One of the better gelatos in the city and they give fair portions so its really not too expensive :) especially considering I tend to pay $ 8-​$ 10 every time I go for self serve froyo! Lol
Love the extra virgin olive oil, espresso and caramel flavors! Yum!

A harsh critic here.
I tried this place three times, once at Lincoln center and twice at Chelsea market. They are good, but nothing close to what I think is great gelato (The best one is near Pantheon in Rome, Italy, right next to SPAR supermarket. Trust me, you won’t regret it).

Best gelato in the world outside of Alaska Gelato in Venice, Italy.
Great flavors. Great location, outside of Lincoln Center. Grab a gelato and relax the afternoon away. We did. Twice.

At $ 5 for a small (2 flavors) or $ 7 for medium (never had it– the small is big enough!), I want to say L’Arte is expensive, but if you’ve had gelato anywhere else in the city, you’ll know the prices are on par, and at least at L’Arte, you know you’ll get a pretty hefty serving of delicious gelato.
My favorite is the yogurt w/​mixed berry (though remnants of berries are few and far between) and ginger (light ginger snaps– nothing too intense). The refreshing mint chocolate chip is really good, and I’m not even a mint person.

Omg Omg Omg! FUCK ME Its GOOD! I recently fell in love with gelato on my trip to Miami so when I saw this stand in Lincoln Center I knew I had to stop & have some: D 2 Flavors are $ 5.00 so I had mint chocolate & dark chocolate!!! The dark chocolate is so rich & silky, Its not over powering on the chocolate front but just right!
I will definitely be back soon!

If you are in NYC in the summer Lincoln Center out doors is a great place to be!
I like the original in the Village better.
The flavors at the Lincoln Center stand are limited. I had Coconut which was good but I had my heart set on the Mascapone which is my favorite and the reason the Village location is my favorite Gelato in the city.
Most of the Gelato I have had outside of NY was just ice cream and maybe they thought if they put a fancy name on it more people would come in. But this is authentic Italian Gelato owned by Italians. In NY the Gelato places are mostly scenes for no reason. Such as il laboratorio del gelato or Grom IMO.
It is a great option at Lincoln Center because there are mostly tourist traps in the area.
This is an exception and since it is my favorite Gelato anyway it is great to have in the area! Gelato at Lincoln Center it doesn’t get much better than that!

This stand located near Lincoln Center is only open from May to August. The menu seems to change occasionally.
I tried the following flavors:
Nocciola delle Langhe (Hazelnut from Langhe) = delicious. If you like Nutella, you’ll love this.
Olio d’Oliva Extra Vergine (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) = It was interesting and suprising edible. It tasted like olives. Not one of my first picks.
Ciocco Arancia (Chocolate with Orange) — I like chocolate. I like oranges. I would assume a gelato with both flavors would be a slam dunk. Unfortunately the tanginess of the oranges detracted from the yummyness* of the chocolate
Five bucks for a giant scoop is rather reasonable. I’m definitely a fan and will try out their brick and mortar locations.
