Description

Specialties

The gelato laboratory has been created in the heart of Tuscany, a land full of tradition, history and love for genuine products. Gelato Ti Amo at Turn-​Style Columbus Circle, will offer its customers the best prices and quality food products.

Gelato Ti Amo is a place for people to go to have desert & gelato. The unique quality and flavors that Gelato Ti Amo put into their gelato gives them a competitive advantage to others in the industry. Flavors such as Caffe’, Cioccolato, Crema, Fragola, Limone, Nocciola and many others.

Caffe’ is made from coffee coming from Central America and is considered one of the best in the world. Gelato Ti Amo has combined its taste with its homemade ice cream to create one of the most unforgettable coffee ice cream flavors.

Cioccolato is chocolate made with the best South American cocoa. Gelato Ti Amo combines the cocoa with the old traditional Italian recipe to create a delicious chocolate ice cream.

History

Established in 2013.

Gelato Ti Amo began as a game… when 3 friends passionate about good food in Tuscany came up with the idea to create a really special ice cream. These three friends all realized at once that what makes gelato unique is the quality of ingredients. For this reason, they decided to dedicate all of their time to create a true ‘Officina del Gelato’: an ice-​cream laboratory where all the experimentation of new flavors and research of the old and forgotten traditional Italian recipes could take place

Very small Gelato shop that is hard to miss if you’re not actively looking for it. However, it might be a good thing to miss as there’s much better gelato out there.
Since my girlfriend is normally extremely indecisive and stringent when it comes to her food, she always asks for multiple samples. Although she liked the few samples that she tried, she wasn’t particularly impressed with any of them and as a result, she ordered a scoop of the hazelnut and a scoop of the stracciatella (chocolate chip) gelato (both which were flavors that she did not sample). Classic flavors shouldn’t be easy to mess up right? While the hazelnut was really good, the stracciatella was basically all ice. Given the limited (good) options and given the area, we recommend to walk a bit further for something else.

Tried the wild berry and dark chocolate… they were to die for! Very pleasant service, and surprisingly affordable pricing for Manhattan too. Will definitely be back if visiting the area.

Passion fruit sorbet was surprisingly tart but weirdly too sweet. Definitely not the refreshing experience of biting into ripened chilled fruit I was expecting.

Amazing little spot that I was really close to missing. I’m so grateful I didn’t miss it, because that gelato was something else. The fig mascarpone and custard were to die for. Mind you, it was 35 degrees outside and I could have easily had another cone and 2 scoops.

Amazing, authentic gelato made by Italian artisans! Worth the 15 minute walk from TriBeCa!

This little gem of a shop has much more than gelato and expresso. It has freshly made sandwiches made with awesome real Italian bread. The sandwiches are made in either hero size or on heavily seeded whole grain slider size rolls. The ingredients are as delicious and fresh as the bread; fresh mozzarella, basil, prosciutto of the highest quality. The sandwiches are made on the European style which means they are not big enough to feed an entire family. They are just the right size to emphasize all of the flavors of the impeccably fresh ingredients. I am addicted and go there every day for a breakfast or lunch sandwich. And the croissants, plain or filled with chocolate or hazelnut filling; the almond are heavenly.

I could have easily shared it to be honest. nice service here. small place but it has a lot of options — coffee, espresso, sandwiches, croissants, gelato, yogurt… Maybe even more! I would say try it out…

After running an errand, I felt a greedy feeling over me so I stepped inside this gelato spot. The place is cute and small. I did know what to buy so I tried a basic vanilla flavor. It tasted really off so I opted for chocolate, which was the best decision. It was really tasty. The only thing that was a negative was the price. The smallest cup was 4 dollars and change, considering that I only got three bites.

This small gelato store opened on John Street in 2013. It’s a nice change of pace vs. the large red mango locations nearby. Seating is very limited, with only a few stools along the back wall. I rarely stay there to eat the gelato, but instead bring it to nearby Zuccotti Park on a nice day. Some of the flavors are pretty standard, but the mascarpone and fig really stands out. They also have very rich chocolate flavors. They have daily specials, so there are always new options.
One significant complaint — their hours are incredibly unpredictable. They’re closed at random times (e.g., middle of the day, early afternoon) which can be frustrating. Not sure why that’s the case but something to keep in mind. Also, they used to provide free chocolate samples but I haven’t seen that lately.

Good gelato. They carried a variety of flavors, such as peach, strawberry, lemon, cheesecake, custard cream, coffee and bacio. After sampling a few, I settled on a cup of the tiramisu gelato. It tasted great (and it actually tasted like tiramisu, a dessert that has rarely disappointed me) but I noticed that the gelato was wet as it was scooped from the freezer. It was beginning to melt and started to drip down the sides of the cup within half a minute of being scooped. Yeah, it got messy real fast.

This rating is primarily due to my experience. I came in after lunch to grab a quick dessert before heading back to the office and honestly expected more of a welcoming vibe, as it was empty at the time and previous reviews rave about the friendly staff. I asked for samples of the flavors I was interested in and felt like I was asking for too much. None-​the-​less I got 2 of the 3 flavors that I tried. The standoff-​ish attitude I can deal with being a NYer and all, it’s what comes next that really ruined my day.
The gelato was given to me heaping over the edges, which I would not ordinarily complain about if it wasn’t already melting. No to-​go cover was offered which may have saved me in the end. I grab napkins before I headed out thinking that was all I needed to overcome the melting overflowing gelato. Not at all. As I walk the 3 blocks to my office rushing to eat the mound as quickly as I can, I literally end up with gelato dripping past the napkins, down my hands and onto my leather suede BEIGE over the knee boots — ruined. I would have taken photos of the mess but at this point my iphone was also victimized and sticky. It got to the point that 3 blocks was too long a journey so I just threw the cup away. I also would like to add that it was a chilly day ranging around 50 degrees.
The chocolate and rum nougat were decent flavors, I just wish that the texture was more gelato and less milkshake.

An affogato (Italian, «drowned») is a coffee-​based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. Some variations also include a shot of amaretto or other liqueur. (wiki)
I was bounding around Time square and realized that why not take a moment to enjoy broadway bite a little bit. And it turns out Gelato Ti Amo is right there.
They only offered limited flavors. I want to compare their Gelato with Ample Hill’s so I chose Salted Caramel. But instead of eating straight Gelato, I asked for an affogato.
I was Pretty surprised because it was the first time I had affogato in my life.
It is not bad. Salted caramel is okay and the blend affogato is alight.
But I am not a fan.
I still prefer ample hill’s salted caramel and I think I like straight espresso shot rather than affogato.
Price is bit pricy. One flavor + one espresso shot = 4 dollars. Nah, nah nah. but not the best deal

This is a quaint, little gelato shop very close to the metro station in the Financial District. I was told that their gelato mixtures/​flavors are made in Italy and shipped. Then the gelato is frozen in the shop.
There are several flavors from which to choose. We were offered several tastes before choosing. The texture is pretty smooth and soft. The mascarpone with figs was good and the chocolate rich. The pistachio was very disappointing and had a stale, odd taste to it. The tiramisu was pretty good.
Prices are as follows: one scoop — $ 3.20, 2 scoops — $ 5.30, 3 scoops — $ 6.30. You can get your gelato in a cup or cone.
The gelato is pretty tasty here. Definitely not as good as in Italy, but good for the price in NYC.

Super tiny space, but great gelato! My friends and I tried quite a few flavors and loved them all. We stayed inside to eat because the heat outside was oppressive that day. We were in the front corner near the window and cash register, so when people came in to order we had to get closer together to make room for them to pay.

The place
This place is very small it about the size of a hallway. They have maybe six stools and at the bar and enough room for the line that is it. So if you come when it is busy good luck!
The staff
I forget his name but he was great. He made recommendations and was patience in letting try many different flavors.
The gelato
I would give this place 5 stars if wasn’t for the price was about 5 bucks a tiny amount of gelato! I decided on mascarpone and fig and Tiramisu both were amazing. In fact the 5 people in line behind me tried the mascarpone and fig and got it also. It was by far the best one I tried. If you are in the area with a sweet tooth this is the place to fill it. Not only did it taste great but it is 100 natural. Per their website «Our ice cream is made from a simple combination of raw materials such as milk, eggs, sugar and fruit … full of the goodness of nature and free from any artificial additives. The creamy texture of our finished gelato is a joy to eat with ingredients that are good for you» So you can eat it and know you aren’t eating any chemical crap!

Stopped by here to satisfy my ice cream cravings. Cute small shop offering gelato in various flavors.
I had the mango gelato, a bit sweet and not as velvety as I would have hoped. The place is pretty pricey too! Almost $ 5 for a small scoop of Gelato.
Not my favorite Gelato spot, but perhaps I may give it another shot of I’m in the area!

Gelato, gelato, oh how much I love you. Gelato Ti Amo was probably the only dessert place open at 8PM. I used to work in downtown, so I knew the area, but I did not know this place existed or else I’d be here post work every day eating gelato. It’s one of those places that is very small (you can call it cozy) — about 6 seats on a counter and a large selection of gelato, drinks and pastries.
Coming in, I was so kindly greeted after coming in from the bitter January frost. As I mentioned, they have such a large selection of gelato, making it so difficult to choose, but I settled on their passion fruit. It tasted slightly more of like a sorbet, but it was so tasty! A small scoop was literally the size of my hand… All for under $ 5, I took it, ate it, and am now reviewing it. If you’re ever in the area and there’s no dessert place open, Gelato Ti Amo is open until 11PM, making it perfect for your post-​work dessert or late night treat.

26 degrees yet I wanted gelato. So I venture out into the cold with the wind blowing in my face, bundled in everything eskimo-​ish, to go to Gelato Ti Amo. Of course, the tiny shop was empty. I was greeted with a smile from a lovely lady. She was very helpful to patrons who’d come and go with questions about gelato, Italy or anything else. Besides gelato, they also offer other pastries such as croissants, imported Italian chocolates along with beverages.
I finally settled for the following:
Bacio (Chocolate/​Hazelnut) — The rich flavor made my insides jump with glee!
Hazelnut — always a favorite of mine
Ananas (Pinapple) — more of a sorbet and okay tasting
Gianduia (imported Italian chocolate) — I didn’t particularly like it, but I didn’t hate it.
All in all, I’m happy to say that I’ve found my go-​to Gelato place — and I don’t have to fly all the way to Italy ^_​^. Oh Gelato… Ti Amo for realzzz!

This place is so small, you wouldn’t even notice if you passed it. The location is very, very small, it might as well be hidden. There is nothing outstanding about the look of this place because the outside literally looks like a deli store.
I came here a few weeks ago while I was in the area and I was so excited to try the different flavors they have, seeing from the Unilocal pictures and reviews. Maybe I came during the wrong season, but there was only about 2 flavors that are different from the usual strawberry, chocolate, coffee, etc. flavors. I opted for the Tiramisu instead and honestly, it is one of the best Tiramisu gelatos I’ve had. It was creamy, and the texture was smooth. Apparently, this is a pretty popular gelato chain in Italy, so I can probably expect much better over there.
Gelato was pretty good, but it was pretty pricey. I got a small cone and it felt like I got one tiny scoop for more than $ 4; I literally finished it in about 3 bites. The samples they gave out to try were so small in size, I couldn’t even get a taste out of them. Cash and credit accepted, but be prepared to get very little.
