The Innovative: Amorino
Come visit Amorino if you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of New York and take a quick trip to Italy. This gelato will have you falling in love with the foods of Italy, as if pasta itself didn’t do the trick. This cozy joint was created by two childhood friends and is as authentic as a little gelato place could be. Its cozy, delicious, and has something for everyone. Their presentation is reason enough to come here, all gelato is presented as a flower and each petal can be a new flavor. Also, MACAROONS. Don’t know about you, but gelato flowers topped with macaroons is a total win. Come here on date night or a night out with friends, and it’ll definitely be a hit.
