Pamina Dolci e Gelato — Restaurant in New York

Maybe the most magical experience of my gelato eating life. Not only was the chocolate absolutely delicious. Happened to that they didn’t have enough for a cup. And I’m such a chocolate fanatic, I didn’t want anything else. I was like it’s okay I’ll pay for how much ever of the cup you can fill. She filled the cup basically full but she REFUSED to charge me. I was SHOCKED and embarrassed. I didn’t know what to do or where to go. It was too overwhelming. I was having a tough day, and it was such a gesture of kindness, so overwhelming.

As I left the shop enjoying the cup, she suddenly came running outside the shop screaming we got MORE we got MORE. So I ran back, and she gave me a full cup. So now I had 1.8 cups of ice cream when I only was expecting 0.5 cups. AND SHE STILL DIDNT CHARGE ME. WHAT SORCERY WAS SHE PULLING ON ME I DONT KNOW. It was so magical, and I was so thankful. It’s my first review ever. A once in a...

This place is incredible! First, let’s start with the ambience. They took over the space of a really boring gift shop and somehow transformed it to an Italian paradise. Incredible lamps hanging from the ceiling that must be imported from italy . Adorable decor. Not only is the space lovely but the people working there are so nice! They have so many unusual flavors and the server didn’t mind that I chose to try 3. Each flavor better than the last. Apple and Rosemary was one of the best! I also loved the tomato and olive oil but I settled for a more classic pistachio and was definitely not disappointed. Having tried gelato in at least 100 gelaterias jn italy I can attest this is one of the best I have ever been to. In a city filled with chain, mass produced gelato this homemade, unique shop is...

Capitalism strikes again, and this time it's coming for our ice cream. It is the new thing in New York to only give one flavor in a "one scoop" cup or cone: you know, those same cups we've been getting two, maybe even three flavors in our entire lives. But the pursuit of more profit comes for everything, and now, for $6, you get only one flavor, for which they will scoop three times. And is it working? A quick look around showed nearly everyone was still buying a small: we care more about the price and our waistlines, it turns out. So in the end, the business makes the same amount of money, but all the customers get a worse experience, because only those willing to pay $9 for a too-big cup of ice cream are worthy of the delights of getting a second flavor. I am disappointed, but...
