The Best Italian Restaurants In Little Italy

"There’s no shortage of gelato in Little Italy, but everything served at Figo Il Gelato Italiano (also in Astoria and Greenwich Village) is especially creamy and vivid. More unique offerings include the Figo—with caramelized figs and a cheesy ricotta complexity—but we can’t resist the classics, like chocolate hazelnut with Ferrero Rocher chunks either. Go ahead and treat yourself to a pistachio cone or a cup of the bright, vegan mango if you need a cold treat in the area. There's no indoor seating in the small, cheerful storefront, but your gelato will taste best if you enjoy it while taking a people-watching stroll down Mulberry Street anyway." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, bryan kim
