L'Albero Dei Gelati

L'Albero dei Gelati in Park Slope is a delightful destination for gelato enthusiasts seeking authentic, artisanal flavors. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and taste make it a worthwhile indulgence. While the prices may be higher than average, the exceptional quality and authentic flavors justify the cost. For those who appreciate high-quality, sustainably produced gelato, L'Albero dei Gelati is a must-visit spot in Brooklyn.

Good gelato place if you are passing by. I came all the way here for this since my friend recommended it, but I wish it could have been better as I was expecting something more special

Exceptional, delicious and authentic organic gelato. The flavors were so real and texture was amazing. Great prices and decent portions. A top 5 in NYC for me for sure. They had 18 flavors (6 vegan), with classical and some innovative ones like blueberry cheesecake, salt and butter, olive oil, grape etc. They allow sampling and the prices were decent ($8 for 3 scoops). I got the chocolate hazelnut, blueberry cheesecake and the special concord grape sorbet. All three were amazing, especially the grape sorbet. Will definitely comeback for more.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!!! The spirulina, YUM!!!!! I love this place so much. I love this so much. Did I mention i love it so much? I tried a new flavor, the burro & sale with farmstead butter & sweet salt. When they gave me a sample I absolutely needed it, but when I got a small cup of it, it left a thin film in my mouth that didnt feel too good. Would recommend a taste oft his flavor, but not a whole cup. I would try everything else though!!! I would still wait in line for an hour for this. Thumbs up thumbs up :)

They are closed in the colder seasons, but once it starts getting warmer, everyone in the neighborhood knows it's the spot. Perfect for sharing if you want to get multiple flavors to try as the gelato is rich in flavor. I'm a big coffee fanatic and theirs is phenomenal!

This hole in the wall came up when I was looking for the best gelato shop around… and I think I found it! The flavors were all very rich, especially the coffee :)

Some of the best I’ve ever had. Friendly staff and unpretentious walk up- perfect if you have a pup. Well priced for neighborhood. Almond Wild Cherry is amazing. I’ll be back!

Authentic gelato!! So fresh! Closest I’ve had to the gelato I had in Italy! 11/10! So happy this place gets the love it deserves. Always a line, but it moves pretty fast! Worth the wait.

We stopped here at like 10:15pm on a Sunday night after dinner at Terre next door, and the woman working was so kind with our indecisiveness and definitely upsold us on the more is better, multiple flavor option. We bought a 4 scoop large cup for $10, and enjoyed unique, Italian inspired flavors like butter and salt, and goat cheese and strawberries. The gelato was light and creamy, and incredibly reminiscent of Italy, with its more muted color tones, and carefully curated flavors!

The freshest and tastiest gelato I've had in Brooklyn I get the same flavor "burro e sale" aka butter and salt each time I come and it never misses. It's simple but so so so delicious. The service could be warmer if I'm being honest but it doesn't stop me from getting a scoop when I'm in the neighborhood. They have an eclectic range of flavors from spirulina with edible flowers and Sicilian pistachio. Definitely try this spot out when you're in the mood for something sweet.

Subtle yet interesting flavors. Love how the ice cream feels like but has a great texture. Would definitely recommend

Delicious neighborhood gelato shop. In addition to your classic gelato flavors like stracciatella and pistachio, they also have some more interesting flavors that tend towards the savory side. There's no seating inside the shop but there's a nice park across the street to sit and enjoy your gelato.

A small quaint gelato booth on the way towards Atlantic Barclay! The workers are always friendly and offer free samples if you'd like to try any flavors. My favorites are the pistachio and the mango gelatos so far! The line can get a bit long during peak dinner times so I'd recommend coming maybe around 3/4 before families start flocking in after their dinners. The price is a bit high imo, I get the kids cup or kids cone which is more than enough for me and that's $6.50, but I'd still come back for sure haha

I passed by L'albero on a cool evening and there was a line. I ordered Almond Cream and Hazelnut. Both were delicious. Eight dollars for Gelato is a bit steep. Is everybody in Park Slope rich?

This gelati shop is popular-- there was a line almost every time we passed by. It is also nicely located close by restaurants in Park Slope. We walked past after dinner and had to stop for a sweet treat. Despite a long line, the wait was not too bad. They have a bunch of fun flavors, especially if you like florals. We were able to have a couple samples and ordered two flavors in our cups. The employees were very kind and patient, even with the never-ending line.

New gelato spot unlocked! We found this place while searching for ice cream in the area and was not disappointed. I had the coffee and hazelnut flavors and they were both delicious. Some of our friends tried the asparagus ice cream which I was curious about but ultimately decided that vegetables don't belong in ice cream. It is a bit on the pricier side- $6 for a kid size cone. But the gelato was great!

Been to Italy and many other places, including Boston's Northend and this is absolutely by FAR!! the best gelato there is. Do not miss this opportunity.

Great gelato place but their flavors aren't as creative as I thought. They advertised on their flavor creativity on the website, but I wasn't blown away by the options when visited. I did see they used to have seasonal flavors such as asparagus but don't think that was available when I visited. They do source their ingredient very selectively based on the info flyer they posted. They also don't use any artificial flavoring or preservatives. Definitely a great gelato choice if you like to consume natural Ingredient!

You have to come to try this gelato. It was a hot summer day when I came, so the line was somewhat long. I ended up getting a kid's scoop of the pistachio. The pistachio flavor was strong, and the gelato was super creamy. My favorite pistachio gelato in the city. The gelato melts quickly, especially in the heat, so be prepared to eat it quick.

After a trip to Italy we were still craving gelato and we looked up great gelato spots and this place came up. It is a little counter outside where you order. The service was great and the staff member allowed my friends to try some flavors out before buying. The gelato flavors were pretty good (I had pistachio and hazelnut) and the cone was also delicious. Would def come back when craving a sweet treat! There is a nice park nearby where you can go and enjoy the weather with your gelato after.

You'll see it, this place was populated even on a weeknight. There isn't an inside, so you'll most likely expect a line. I had trouble choosing because most of the flavors all sounded chocolatey, too sweet, or if they weren't, they were sorbet. Luckily, the worker was patient and offered suggestions. I picked the Kid size Hazelnut one, which she said was their post popular, on a Cone ($6). The ice cream tasted like a creamier Ferrero Rocher, ice cream version. I felt like a kid eating chocolate again. The Kid size was also enough after a filling dinner. This was a solid creamy gelato, I'd recommend if you're in the area and in the mood for good dessert.

L'Albero Dei Gelati serves some of the best gelato in the city. The flavors are exceptional and so creative. Whether you're a fan of classic options like chocolate, vanilla or more adventurous flavors, you're in for a treat. If you're a gelato lover, this place is a must!

L'albero Dei Gelati offers a unique and delicious selection of gelati (plural version of gelato). As part of the slow food movement, "There are no flavorings, dyes, preservatives or artificial additives of any kind in any of our product." Ingredients are selected to be fresh and from sustainable sources -- "Farm fresh Italian gelato." The taste reflects the quality of the carefully curated authentic ingredients - reminiscent of gelato I've had in Italy. No surprise, L'Albero was founded by gelato artisans originally from a small town outside of Milan. The Park Slope location is one of NYC's best gelato spots - there's usually a long line of people waiting outside. Today, the line was about a ten minute wait. After reviewing today's flavors, I decided to try the "Spirulina and Edible Flowers" and the Lemon with Honey. Both were excellent. The spirulina had an earthy grassy complex flavor - it's a form of blue-green algae "superfood" which contains a slew of nutrients (as well as some potential health risks (particularly for diabetics) thanks WebMD - such is life). Risks be damned - I really enjoyed this flavor. I noticed that many of the customers in front of me were ordering the hazelnut gelato - I've heard it's the best thing ever. Will be trying that next time. I predict there will definitely be a next time and next and next .... Great gelati !

Oh my god. A must go, so so delicious and interesting. They change the flavors all the time and there's something there for everyone. I usually end up getting the butter but in the summer they had a goat cheese and fig that was amazing, the pumpkin for fall is so rich with flavor. I would not recommend if you have an allergy. I've taken a bite of gelato one too many times and been treated to a surprise flavor

The line is always long here for a reason. Quality gelato, quick service. Great flavor selection (see attached images) with a lot of interesting options and variety. Definitely a neighborhood gem. It's not cheap, but it's worth it as an occasional treat.

This cute little Park Slope single-window storefront has a small footprint, but packs a big punch. It has some of the best gelato in New York City, no joke. The quality of the ingredients is impeccable, and they have a pretty impressive array of flavors for such a small place. I tried coffee, hazelnut, and cinnamon, and they were all superb. The cinnamon was especially great since it's quite a rare flavor for gelato/ice cream- if you're a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (who isn't, right?), then you'll love it. My friend had the pistachio and gianduja flavors, and he said both were delicious as well. In terms of quality and flavor, this place is comparable to Anita Gelato- and it's located right next to the small-but-charming JJ Byrne Playground, so you can enjoy your great decision surrounded by some greenery.

Best hand scooped gelato in Brooklyn! It's a popular spot in the hot summer days. They have my favorite stracciateli! So good. Service is always friendly & courteous. They have several others flavors, you can try a taste if you're not sure what to get. $5.90 for kids (1 flavor) is perfect for me. $6,90 2 get 2 flavors. Located in front of the restaurant. I have to try the restaurant next time. There's always some delicious aroma wafting thru.

Right next door to Terre pasta! They have some really interesting flavors such as asparagus, butter & salt, spirulina, etc. They switch out their flavors depending on what's in season so expect some crazy unique flavors! They were really nice and allowed us to sample a few so don't hold back! I know you want to try that asparagus gelato We had: Medium cup - 2 flavors ($7) We got hazel nut and tiramisu and they were some of the most flavorful gelato I've ever tried! The tiramisu gelato even had coffee soaked lady fingers in it. It was not overly sweet or heavy. I'm also surprised how much gelato they can pack in the cup! I seriously will make it my goal to sample all their flavors! The craziest thing is that a lot of their savory flavors actually taste good?!?

The BEST gelato in Brooklyn!! I brought native Italian friends here and they LOVED! So so delicious! Highly recommend!!

Love love love this place!!! It's a must come if you're in the area and craving for a cold sweet! Their winter hours are very short so I would call to check before heading over as they may close earlier than expected if the weather is too cold. It's right next to the park so summer is great to grab a cone and walk the park! Not to mention, their flavors are very unique.

Top rated gelato. One of the best pistachio gelato in the city. Unique selection and flavors

Top-rate gelato! Service was efficient and friendly. Note: It is a stroll-up shop front with no seating, but there is a park across the street!

I genuinely think this is the best gelato in the city, the chocolate and hazelnut flavors are DIVINE. And it's right by a lovely park, so you can take your gelato and eat it there. If you're at the Park Slope farmer's market, I'd definitely recommend going.

It is a hole in the wall with seating but in my opinion that is good. The gelato is grate with some funky options. Is a bit price but over all grate place

We were in the area and happened to spot this gelato spot and decided to give it a try. The staff were very friendly. We were able to sample flavors before deciding. I got the stracciatella and hazelnut on a cone, which are usually my go-to. I thought the flavor of them were perfect, but I thought it wasn't as creamy as i'd like but i still enjoyed it. My bf got passionfruit and Pistachio, I liked the Pistachio but the passionfruit was way way way too sweet for me.

So let me breakdown my rationale for my review in two separate components: Gelato: Unique and deliciously-tasting flavors with a large variety to choose from! The pear and grape were some of our favorites since you can literally taste the actual fruits in the creamy gelato. I definitely recommend coming here for the unique flavors and I promise you won't regret it! Now if the gelato deserved such praise, why is it only 3 stars? Service: The lady at the gelato counter was visibly irritated and made sure to sigh out loud multiple times whenever we asked for something, whether it was to get a bag to carry our ice cream pints to-go (which seem like something you wouldn't need to even ask if you're purchasing multiple pints...), or to try a few flavors to see which one we liked the most (we tried 4, which I would like to think was not too unreasonable). Her dissatisfaction-ridden facial expression and her dismissive attitude really makes this sweet experience extremely bitter, which is so unfortunate because I heard the other lady was so kind, sweet, and even offered our friends more flavors to try just so we know what to get the next time we come back. So overall, if you just want to get your gelato-fix and don't care about service, definitely come and try their flavors before they close down for the season! If you do decide to give this place a try, I hope you get to experience the kind, sweet lady who makes your heart warm despite eating cold and delicious gelato! Thank you for reading and good luck! (: P.S. The unpleasant lady worked the night shift on October 27, 2022, I just don't want the owners who read this to blame the wrong staff just in case (:

This is a great place to get gelato! I've sampled a bunch of their flavors, both the sorbets and creamier gelatos, and they're on point. They have a great mix of sweet and more savory flavors. My favorite is the blueberry cheesecake flavor, but the panna and caramello, or sweet milk and homemade caramel, is surprisingly wonderful. I normally steer clear of caramel because it's so overwhelmingly rich and sweet, but this one is more of a fresh, thinner drizzle that has the perfect sweetness. I loved that the gelato itself was not nearly as sweet as I thought it'd be, and it was delightful while not giving me that heavy feeling in my stomach afterward. $5 for a small "kid-sized" cup feels a little steep, but it's worth it for the occasional treat.

Yum! Great choices of flavors - great taste and texture - well worth the walk! Near popular park/farmers market

such a solid place and for the quality, the price isn't bad at all! It was relatively busy on a rainy evening and it's only a counter but line moved quickly. They have a ton of flavors, offer sample before buying. The chocolate hazelnut was SO GOOD. Vanilla was solid of course, but that one just took it home. definitely will return

Yes I enjoyed my delish meal at L'Albero Dei Gelati. It is a sweet establishment with down to earth Italian food. We started off with hearts of artichoke with treatment of seasoning/oil so delish for the pallet. Then we moved forward to the pasta (home made) dish with an amazing bean sauce the flavor was unbeatable so darn yummy. We also had a superb grilled octopus Accompanied with potatoes and olives my goodness what an outstanding dish. Please note this meal was shared by two with my hubby which I absolutely love. The dishes on the menu in general are definitely meant to share so you can have a true Italian experience. I had an outstanding huge cup of cappuccino so creamy I love the foam. The server and service were friendly with excellent Knowledgeable of the food on the menu which I truly appreciated.

YOOOOOOOOO I hadn't tried this place previously because I didn't feel like paying $7 for ice cream. BUT I GET IT NOW. This place puts Ample Hills and Van Leeuwen to shame. BEST ICE CREAM I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE; truly felt like I was transported to Italy. Had the mint chocolate and the pistachio and I'm still crying about it. SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD.

Hands down, this place has THEEEE best gelato in Brooklyn! $7.00 for two scoops, or $24 for pint?! Pleaseeee.. just take my money! Here are the flavors that I've tried and love! - Pistachio - Coffee - Halzenut - Pear - Grape - Butter and Salt - Olive Oil First timers?! No problem, just ask the friendly staff to sample whichever flavors! Once you go L'albero, you'll never go back to Ample Hills or Van Leeuwan, it easily put them all to shame. Can't wait to bring my Jersey friends here to try more flavors! Note: They are currently closed for the fall and the winter. They'll be open again next spring. Happy "L'albero", everyone!

We strolled over to L'albero Dei Gelati after dinner. The coffee gelato was outstanding but the butter & salt gelato that my friend got was out of this world. Apparently, there's always a line, and the storefront, open to the street, is hard to navigate when customers are ordering samples. I didn't feel I could leisurely peruse the flavors before ordering, but that's on me.

My friend and I were in the neighborhood, sampling as much food as possible and we decided to cap it off with gelato from L'albero Dei Gelati. It's a small storefront and you order directly at the front window. It's there that you're hit with that gorgeous paradox of choice. There is a ton of flavors you're going to want and once you try the gelato, you'll long for the flavors that you missed. (It's a few days later and I can still remember the ones that got away, I'm thinking about you pumpkin with amaretti) The woman working when we were there was helpful, she recommended a flavor to complement the other choices that I'd made. We both went with the three scoop medium size, so that we could try multiple flavors. I enjoyed the butter and salt, chocolate, and straciatella flavors. My friend enjoyed his flavors as well. All were somehow rich but also light. The butter and salt delivered butter flavor without making me feel like I was eating a scoop of butter, the crystals of salt were a great addition. Next time I'm in the neighborhood, this is definitely one of the stops!

I came here on a Friday night, there was a line, but it wasn't too long. I got pistachio flavor which is my all-time favorite for everything, and passionfruit, because I wanted to try something new and exciting. I guess I should've asked for a sample first, but I did not really enjoy the passionfruit, it was way too sweet. The flavor of the Pistachio flavor is great, but overall I'd like it to be a bit more creamier.

Whoever the girl is working the register here on 7/3/2023 at 10:20 pm, you are the epitome of nasty and condescending, you're the most disgusting person I've ever met in a customer service position, all within a 10 second interaction. I truly cannot believe the response my father was given when he asked about a menu item. We spent the entire day looking forward to coming here and drove all the way from south Brooklyn to come here just to be completely turned off by this one individual.

Did somebody say gelato?! If I could eat ice cream for every meal and also meet my recommended dietary requirements I would. This spot is so cute! I did not realize there was a restaurant attached to it until I received my cone. I will have to try their dishes next time I'm in the area. As for the ice cream stand outside, the staff working there was super grumpy. Maybe she had a bad day? I'm not sure, but putting on a smile would be nice while serving ice cream to children. You don't want to scare them away. Also, do scoops normally look like a lopsided blob or did I just go on a bad day? Aside, from how it looks, my chocolate gelato tasted great! Overall, I'll give this place another try because I love ice cream.

Loved every flavor I tried. Yummy across the board. A must try. Staff friendly and helpful. Lots of smiles. There was a line but it moved quickly. I will be back asap.

AWESOME dessert spot. Seems really popular too bc when we stopped by they were out of a lot of flavors. Really enjoyed what we got and the variety in serving sizes. Overall, awesome gelato, would come back!!

The BUTTER & SALT GELATO. This is brilliant. All of life's greatest flavors in one scoop. Everything your tongue has ever dreamed of. The other flavors are also delicious, but this is something else. So, secret's out. Best gelato in the city. Closest you'll get to Italy for a while. 5 stars!!!!!!!

This place will spoil me. Ever since visiting Italy a few years ago, I've been on the lookout for gelato that will remind me of rolling hill towns and villas. Who knew I'd find just the spot in Park Slope. I love that they have all the classic gelato flavors like pistachio, hazelnut, vanilla, stracciatella, ricotta, and olive oil (which I recently had and cannot stop thinking about). They have plenty of choices which is bad for someone as indecisive as I am. But when in doubt, I usually go with pistachio and hazelnut. Don't be deceived by the cup sizes. The smallest (forgot what it's called - petite?) is actually perfect if you're having dessert after dinner.

Must get the Giandula!!!! Its so good and creamy. Taste like the chocolate from ferrero rocher but better!

Hands down the best gelato in the world, I've tried them all and nothing comes close.

My trio of dark flavors were a delight. The chocolate offered a richness that was balanced by the strong coffee flavor. The chocolate with hazelnut also offered a nice contrast.

This place and their gelato have gotten us through quarantine. We've stopped by 1-2/week while on our neighborhood walks. The counter has always been walk up and if there's a line it hasn't been too bad 5-8 mins max. My daughter LOVES the vanilla and I always get the burro and sale (butter and salt). The hazelnut, coffee and chocolate flavors are also delish. If you want sorbet don't pass up the mango or strawberry but especially the melon! The servers wear mask and gloves and it's contactless payment.

Great gelato! I visited with friends one night and we just walked up to the window. I loved my mint chocolate chip and my friend really liked his olive oil.

Staff is friendly and the gelato is very good--though I like Venchi's fondente a bit more. Prices are rather on the expensive side but that's understandable given that the ingredients are high quality. The pistachio and the gianduja are GREAT, can't wait to try other flavors as well.
