New York: Where to Eat: Quick Break: Stellina

Stellina

Gelato is available on every other corner in Manhattan, so why are we mentioning a new gelataria café in the Lower East Side? Because it’s attached to Sorella, Emma Hearst’s Piedmontese restaurant, which is an Indagare staff favorite. Sorella has quietly been serving some of the best Italian in the city ever since. The dining room is understated and chic, the sharing menu is inventive without being coy, the service is consistently dependable, and the food is absolutely fabulous. And because their dessert was so delicious, their gelato (in flavors like bananimal) is now available on the fly in the attached café, Stellina.
