Amorino
“The staff was very friendly and they will put as many flavors into a cup or cone as you could reasonably request.”
“No one goes there for the macarons, but I'd recommend trying one (particularly the pistachio if you're a pistachio fan).”
“She was very sweet, kind, helpful, and patience with my three kids and her flowers, and crepes was amazing.”

Wow, even though this place seems like a tourist trap given the location and neighborhood, their gelato is still amazing. And surprisingly the price was not nearly as bad as I might have expected. Go for the cone if you want that fancy flower sculpted gelato. It says you can pick any number of flavors? But it seemed like 3 was what most people chose, at most. I was glad I got to pick out a bunch of flavors to try, they were all fantastic. The workers are also really quick and efficient in getting you out the door with your gelato. The rose can take a bit more time to make though as they really make sure it looks great.
Ordered a chocolate crepe with cherry gelato, and drifted off to heaven! This place is popular, and there was a line, but all worth it.
Happy Yelping!
I am not a fan of gelato but after having gelato here I may have to change my mind. I think I haven't had good gelato in the past and I was left with the concept that it was just "meh" ice cream.
The sweet cream, which tends to be a bland flavor in regular ice cream, was absolutely delicious. It was creamy with a perfect amount of sweetness. I ordered a small cup with allowed me to try one additional flavor; cookie butter. Absolutely amazing combo.
I would definitely return to this location as there aren't many ice cream shops around Times Square that isn't franchised like Ben & Jerry's and such. (Maybe this is also a franchise? – You catch my drift)
Note to self: Next time I must try the pretty flower that every posts pictures of.
Whenever I'm in the area I will go here, spend a few hours while working (thank you for being able to charge my phone and iPad so I can continue to work).
Comfy chairs, nobody hassles me.
There's a great selection of amazing ice cream, beautiful flavours.
Their macarons are chilled, never had that before but it tastes good.
The only thing I do notice is a constant change in staff. That's not always a good thing…..
Other than that I'll be back, because it's just super convenient for me!
The gelato and sorbetto were very tasty. I can certainly appreciate the flavors they offer as well. The location is great, and the amount served was definitely a plus. Always nice when they allow as many flavors as you want!
I did, however, feel like I was being herded like a cow whilst there. The way we were being told to move towards the end was a little less than friendly. Although, they are a busy store near times square. They also forgot to give my two orders the gelato macarons. We asked for them after, but they were just shoved into a cup and sort of broken after that. Sort of ruined the delicate gelato flower look we were hoping for, but it was all still very tasty regardless.
Quick protips:
1. if it's really hot out, the rose in a cone will melt very quickly – the cup is your friend
2. The more the merrier is not always true – if you get a lot of flavors, they end up mixing and not necessarily in great ways
Salted Caramel: the salt and sweet are completely mixed in the cream base so the's no real flavor or texture contrast per se. That said, the caramel has a solid burnt flavor and the thorough mixing creates an almost savory taste that's pretty good in my opinion. 7.5/10
Pistachio: Not as deep or rich as the hazelnut flavor. More on the lighter and floral end of things. 7/10
Hazelnut: Fantastic, deep, rich, nutty, good depth of hazelnut flavor. Nutella wishes it was as hazelnutty as this. 9/10
Sweet Milk: Grainy, very mild. Sweet milk flavors should be reserved for ice cream, per haps. 5/10
Passionfruit: Very bright and tart. It doesn't taste as sweet if you eat some of the other flavors first so if you get this, I'd try this first. I think the balance between sweet and tart is pretty good. Very nice and fresh taste. 9/10
Blood Orange: I was impressed that they captured some of the bitter flavors of the rind in this. The orange flavor was pretty spot on and the bitterness is a nice contrast to all the other flavors. 8/10
So good. The flower design of the ice cream actually serves a functional purpose, allowing you to taste the mixture of the gelato easily. The flavor and consistency of the ice cream itself was perfect. Ordered the pistachio, hazelnut, and coconut. Amazing. Will definitely come back.
Some Yelper posted a photo of what looked like a flower but it was an ice cream cone, a flower gelato cone to be exact. It was from Amorino on 8th Avenue & 45th Street, I must pass it two or three times a week, how come I did not notice this Boutique before? Must be I'm to busy dogging the local street characters, tourist, and brain dead commuters on my way to the PABT to have taken notice.
Well I needed to find Amorino because my sensitive side likes colorful flowers and these I can eat, the people behind this Idea must be geniuses. So I go and realize a blind man could find this place and I need to learn how to chill while walking down Times Square so I can appreciate the uniqueness of NY.
Well I get there and see 2 dozen flavors of gelato, and sorbets. You can order cups, cones and take home canisters. They also have some breads and desserts like Pandolce a sweet bread like Panettone. Tarts of Sicilian lemons and almonds. Macrons, and Waffles. Now to order gelato you pick the size, small, medium, large of the cup or cone and you can pick and combine all the flavors you want, yes, ALL THE FALVORS YOU WANT !!!!
So I asked for a cone with Ginger and Blood Orange , Cocco Puro Sri Lanka, Mango Alfonso d'India and watched the Gelato Barista patently construct my flower by applying the pedals on the cone one by one until he created a beautiful flower. The way it's made is the cone has the center filled with one or more flavors and then the different flavor petals are added to the outside of the cone, so you need to lick these up first on a warn day and work your way in.
As dumb as it sounds the Mango tastes like real mango, the coconut was a little bit weak, but the Blood Orange was on point, as a matter of fact the ginger was making it a little to stingy for me and I didn't finish it. But it was all good and I need to try other flavors like Bronte Pistachio or Caramello al Burro Salato and some Panettone so I will go back for more.
