Testimonials

“il laboratorio del gelato is the best ice cream and sorbet maker around. the variety, quality, and seasonality are superbly managed and maintained.”

-Bill Yosses, Former White House Pastry Chef

“If it doesn’t exist, in flavors or shapes, il laboratorio del gelato will make it happen with excellence.”

— Michel Floranc, Exec Pastry Chef, Olivier Cheng Catering

“Even though I like to make everything from scratch at my restaurants, I’m willing to skip the ice cream. I really cannot make or find a better one than il laboratorio del gelato - by far the best gelato in NYC (and the reason I’m working with them for over 13 years).”

— Einat Admony, Owner/Chef, Balaboosta

“I have been selling and enjoying il laboratorio del gelato at all of my restaurants since 2006. The flavors are thoughtful, incredibly delicious, consistent - yet imminently seasonal, an approach I like to take on menus. My guests continually comment on how much they enjoy the gelato and the sorbet. Jon’s gelato makes my humble desserts worth coming to my restaurants.”

— Joey Campanaro, Owner/Chef, The Little Owl

“Working with il laboratorio has been the same as following the successes of a best friend. Absolutely consistent quality, a variety of seasonal flavors and an owner who is available by phone, text or email. My staff and I are always, without question, confident in the quality and purity of flavors of all gelati and sorbetti that arrive in my restaurants.”

— Marc Meyer, Owner/Chef, Vic's, Shuka, Rosie's
