Timi’s Gelataria Classica

This place is so FUN!!! Plus they have delicious gelato. There’s something about the futuristic swivel chairs and Pinocchio gelato sundaes that say «come in» & «sit a while». Upstairs seating has minimalist décor and a film projector running weird snippets of modern film/​Euro commercials (?).
Nice staff that lets you taste test. They are awesome for letting you also split a scoop into two flavors.

— overall rating: 4.5
— I’m not big on sweets but you wouldn’t know it from how frequently I was here during the warmer months
— recommend: strawberry, lemon berry, milk and honey
— smooth consistency, made fresh daily, authentic flavors
— a fair amount of options that change daily
— reasonably priced for the amount you get, when they say one scoop it really comes out to being 3
— you can try out as many flavors as you want before making your final decision
— personable staff

Gelato Gelato !!!
Tasty !!! They got good stuff here. I like it a lot :)
My favorite is nutella. I tried the fruity favors the other day, I think it was too sour but am not a fan of those sour taste anyway. So it was just me.
Besides, their bathroom was spacious and looked clean. That’s a plus.

Good gelato. Love the really long cones.

I had the mango gelato, and it was averagely good… EXCEPT it was too soft… and melted within minutes… Please note: we went there around Saturday noon time.
I should have tried to other exotic flavors…

I want to give this place a 3.5÷5, but I’ll be generous and round up to 4.
I just discovered this place, I really don’t know why it took me so long because I go to St. Marks often, but yeah, just wandered onto it tonight with a friend while we were finding somewhere to eat.
I tried the zabaione and it was really good! My friend got the mango and peach and I thought the mango was fruity and good, but the peach one, not so much. My friend didn’t even finish the peach.
I ended up getting the orange cup. It’s vanilla and lemon gelato with freshly squeezed orange juice with whipped cream on top. The vanilla and orange juice mix to taste exactly like a creamsicle! Yum! The lemon gelato was good at first, but it later ended up being too tart/​sour for my taste. It was hard to finish it. It’s pretty pricey, it ended up being around $ 8. Next time I’m coming back for the zabaione for sure.

Opted out of dessert at a local restaurant and stopped in here for some delicoius tiramisu gelato. This place is as good as it gets. Gelato tastes very authentic.
Will def. come back here again.

My husband discovered this place while walking one evening a week or two ago and said he wanted to try it. After a trip from PIT last night, we decided to go in. After all, it was one of the only dessert places that was open and had items my husband could eat.
Having had gelato before, I knew a bit of what I was getting into but had to decide what I wanted. The selection isn’t the largest but it’s pretty solid.
The stracciatella gelato caught my eye and after having a sample, I decided to get that. Since it was later, we also found seating to enjoy our treats. Didn’t like that a tiny spider was walking right near me at one point (really don’t like bugs) but it wasn’t near the food serving areas and the place is a grade A.
We looked at the menu and they definitely have a selection of bigger ice cream desserts that we would both eat. They may also change their flavors since one my husband saw when he discovered the place wasn’t there when we went.
Overall, a delicious late evening treat and a place we’d go back to.

It seems like you can get Gelato anywhere in the city, but this is the only place on St. Marks that you can get it. The rest is Froyo and Bubble Tea. This spot is really spacious, high ceilings, an upstairs that has a projection screen and a lounge area.
They have a lot of flavors, don’t be shy to get a sample. You can try them all till you like what you want. I ended up getting the Tiramisu which is always a classic. We sat upstairs and enjoyed the view down. What’s also great about this place is the Free Wi-​Fi. You can surf the net or do work and at the same time enjoy some Gelato!

Mmmm… good stuff when craving a sweet treat. Had the pistachio gelato and the tiramisu gelato and both were really good. Lots of distinctive flavor in both. Decent amount of flavor selections too.
Two floors here with most of the seating up top where there is a bird’s eye view to people watch. Staff was cool and attentive. Facility is clean and very bright. Good tunes playing over the sound system.
A bit pricey, but pretty much on par for what most gelato places charge here in the city. A nice place to hang out for a bit and chat with a friend or use the free wifi! Also open late until 1AM most nights.

I went here yesterday and I definitely enjoyed it. I can’t compare this place to other gelato places because honestly I have not had much experience with gelato but I definitely enjoyed it, it was really tasty and I definitely will be coming back here.
I had a scoop of nutella (sooo yummy) and my best friend had the tiramisu (I tasted a bit of it and was really really yummy too). I can’t wait to try their other flavors. They also had a menu with so many interesting combinations to try.
I like the location a lot. It’s on St. Mark’s and just so much to see and do in this area. The place itself is pretty spacey. I enjoyed sitting in the top level and people watching from there. The atmosphere was really chill and it was just a good place to sit back, talk, and pass the time.

The noccioli (hazelnut) gelato is the most emphatically hazelnut-​flavored version I’ve had anywhere. Not terribly sweet and not for the faint of heart. Dining companion had coconut and I tried a bite. Very tasty but the coconut bits kind of interfered with the super smooth texture.
Atmosphere is fun, décor cute in a Hello Kitty sort of way.
Pricey but worth it for killer gelato.

The gelato was good, however it’s very hard to compete with other places, flavors were average — pistachio, strawberry, vanilla, it’s good, good gelato. They have good coffee, and juices and fruit and vegetables. So this stuff seems kinda average, but they have a wicked atmosphere, great for studying — big tv upstairs, lots of comfortable and unique seating.
I wouldn’t stress this if you wanted a snack, BUT if you wanted a snack AND wanted to chat or study, it is the PERFECT place.
⁴⁄₅ stars for atmosphere and free wifi, YEAH BABY!

Ahhh gelato. Italian for «expensive ice-​cream». Ok, maybe that’s not what it means, but I’ll be damned if that’s not what we get.
As a rule of thumb, I generally steer clear of gelato places. Honestly, I don’t find it THAT good for the quantity and cost that New York charges. But alas, throw up a foreign name, decrease serving size to the equivalent of two licks of regular ice cream, and people in this city buy it up. It amazes me. The same rings true for crepes, lattes, and Thai.
So why am I writing a four star review on a gelato joint?
NU-​FREAKING-​TELLA!!! I’m European, so Nutella is basically a part of my DNA. G-​A-​T-​T-​A-​C-​A? No. N-​U-​T-​E-​L-​L-​A!
So when I willingly followed Shea D. and Margot G. into Gelateria Classica (I DID have a texas size BBQ’s margarita surging through my veins), the place won my gelato-​avoiding heart over with their Nutella flavor! I ordered a scoop and set to devouring. And it was good. OHHHH it was gooooood. I will definitely be back here, most likely after a drinking adventure down the street. Just… don’t ever get rid of that flavor. K?

This is more like a cute college date spot, so said mah boo.
Cute seating, and it’s two floors. Gelato’s ~$ 3.25, and I liked the nutella (you can sample a bunch, of course). I’d love to try the milkshake type drinks next time, for around $ 5 – 6.
Oh, and I loved listening to Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus playing in the background: P

I stopped in here with Margot G and Anthony F after a night of BBQ food and margaritas. Normally I steer clear of the LES flashy light places, but Margot G was drawn in by the gelato and you just don’t say no to her when she has something like gelato in her sights.
So in we went. I was not in the mood for gelato having just consumed a giant frozen margarita (that’s like ice cream but with tequila, right?), but Margot and Anthony definitely were. While they opted for gelato, I settled on a classic Italian latte sans foam and wow… it was far better than I expected given where we were. In fact, it was downright tasty.
The prices were fairly typical for gelato and a latte, but since they both seemed to really enjoy their gelato, and I *really* enjoyed my latte, I left with a very good impression of this place despite its location. Would go again for sure!

My friend dragged me here with the following phrase: «THEY HAVE SPAGHETTI ICE!» At first hearing about this, my reaction was «WTF is that?». Well, it’s vanilla gelato and ice squeezed out to look like spaghetti. Very interesting all in all.
I like this place because it’s not the typical dessert/​ice cream dishes they serve up. Pretty unique and rich tasting. My favorite is the Chocolate Cup. Decant in every spoon full.
They have a great space. Décor is very modern and clean. Smaller seating downstairs, stools at the counter (like old timey ice cream shops) and bigger seating upstairs. Lovely cityscape shots fill the walls upstairs and you can watch tv as well.
Good old indulgence nested in a street overwhelmed with fro-​yo shops.

+ i love that they play my new favorite bruno mars song
+ i love that they don’t charge me rent for spending so much time here
+ i love that they’ve created the best location in the new york tri-​state area to watch the jets /​patriots game with the huge screen in the upstairs seating area
+ i love that they gave me a small sample of their super-​thick chocolate sludge hot chocolate
+ i love that they put smiles on kids’ faces when they present them with the pinocchio ice cream sundae
+ i love the the custom flavors of gelato invented by Anna, the manager of this location, who is so delightful and generous
+ i love that their posh restroom is bigger than my first studio apartment
my favorites:
+ chocolate sorbet with spiced pear (it’s usually not in the case, but she usually has it in the back freezer)
+ royal toffee
+ disaronno

A nice place to chill out after dinner or even after brunch. It’s a very warm and welcoming place that is filled with sweets. Gelato of different exotic Italian flavors which you can mix and match. I love the second floor where they have comfy couches and a projector that shoots out some random TV show.
One thing tho, the gelato are extremely sweet when you are halfway through with it. But overall, not a bad place to sit, chit, and chat.

Great Gelato! Just like the good stuff I had in Amalfi Coast, Italy. I had the pistachio gelato. It was very smooth and creamy. Also tried the pumpkin one, which was surprisingly nice. $ 3.50 for a scoop, $ 4.75 for 2. Not too bad.
I bought the gelato, decided to sit down and then they brought me a glass of water. Nice touch. I asked when they opened since I couldn’t find it on Unilocal yet, and they said, «Now! We just opened. You are our first customer!» So there you go!
