replying to u/Select_Barnacle4616: I tried their stratiacella but didn’t love it. Might try your other ones though!
“But their nut and fruit flavors…in each case I think they’re using the real thing, not flavoring, and the difference is monumental.”

replying to u/IrishPirateAccent: I’ve been evangelizing about Figo lately. Gelato spot with 5 locations in town. Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had, specifically the hazelnut, pistachio, and fresh strawberry flavors. They have a lot of uncommon flavors as well - fig, passionfruit, cotton candy, Ferrero rocher, etc.
“Also love their pecan bars.”

replying to u/Calm_Machine7634: I do not get the hype on Figo it was the worst Stracciatella I’ve ever had (lacked flavor and had a paltry amount of inferior tasting chocolate so the texture was all wrong) and the person behind the counter grabbed the scoop side of the scooper with his bare hand before using it to scoop my gelato. The Flavor and richness-wise I’d say Gentile and Anita are the best I’ve tried in nyc so far.
“It’s also super sweet”

replying to u/seashellsnyc: Figo il Gelato is currently my favorite for gelato. Caffe Panna is excellent but I don’t love their flavors sometimes…I look at Google restaurants with a rating of 4 and above, and then check out the most recent reviews. There are a lot of paid reviewers out there. I also look at recent food photos.
“Another vote for Figo.”
