The Scene
At the upscale end of Robertson sits a quaint Italian ice-cream parlor where a friendly waitstaff helps you indulge your sweet tooth and savory cravings.
The Food
No matter how much commercial ice cream makers trumpet the quality of their ingredients, there is nothing like small, handmade batches of fresh, frozen cream. Gelato is denser than the average American-style ice cream, and Al Gelato's is lush, smooth and packed with flavor. Fruity selections are rich and vibrant. Chocolate-themed flavors explore the nuances of cocoa and butterfat, and the pistachio eclipses its fake green commercial cousins. If you can get past the gelato, other desserts are equally good: crispy cannoli filled with tiny chocolate chips and velvety, discreetly sweetened ricotta cheese, tiramisu, spectacular cakes and a deep-dish apple pie that's drizzled in sultry caramel sauce and accompanied by whipped cream.

we live close by and get gelato here all the time... sooooo yummy. so we decided to sit in for dinner one night and ordered up some of the best sounding and worst tasting pizza ive ever had. the crust tasted like smoke. the sauce was just... sour. i couldnt finish. the moral of the story is, have dinner somewhere else and come here for desert.

As a patron of Al Gelato for 10 years now, most recently I was dissapointed with a drop in integrity. When requesting more bread, I was informed there will be an extra charge. Sorry, that is nonsense. A staple of italian dining is the bread to sop sauce. I have never been in an italian restaurant that charged me for bread. Very sad about that Al. Snap out of it. If I am going to spend 40 some-odd dollars for dinner with a guest, do not charge for the bread. Shame on you to take advantage in these tight times.

I found this place because a friend swore by it. The food is reasonable, delicious, and the staff are great. Make sure you bring cash - only form of payment accepted. And know up front it's not a flashy restaurant - very casual - but the food is seriously the best Italian I've had outside of Italy.

Parking:
If you can't find a metered spot on Robertson; try one of the side streets like Gregory Way.
Save Time:
If you don't see your favorite flavor in the front case, ask them to check the freezer in the back.
Know Before You Go:
Al Gelato only takes cash. There's an ATM at the market across the street and the closest bank is at Wilshire and Robertson.
