Piccola Gelateria

Gelato was amazing! If you’re in New Orleans make sure to stop here! The vibe is beautiful in this place, customer service was beautiful too. I ordered hazelnut and espresso latte gelato and wao it was a real GELATO, full of flavor!

Seven years ago, while in NOLA, my husband and I visited Piccola Gelateria and what a gelato, to die for. I think I tasted three different flavors and had afogato coffe with hazelnut ice cream. This is the best gelato I ever had.
I had gelato many times in Italy, but none of those came even close to gelato at Ria’s.
This year we went to New Orleans for a wedding, so I planned in advance a visit with my friends to this place, which is now located on Magazine Street. We Ubered there and the gelato was so yummy and the location is just perfect. It was seven of us and we all tried many different flavors and truly enjoyed it.
The special treat we received from Ria was a pumpkin flavored gelato , how perfect, it was a Halloween weekend, and we all truly savored it.
We Will be back 😋

Gelato 100% Italiano!
I'm Italian from Napoli and moved to the country less than 10 years ago but always been traveling and tasting gelato in each city and this is the BEST, it brought me back to Italy.
Creamy and full of taste: semplicemente meraviglioso! È un New Orleans Must Try!
Ps.: our dog loved it too.

Might be the best gelato I've ever had! Truly the most wonderful almost stretchy-creamy gelato ever! The pistachio especially is to die for. The almond one was all right as well but definitely thought the pistachio was far more impressive. Only thing? It would be lovely if the shop lady could turn the friendliness dial up a bit. The lack of warmth was a bit uncomfortable.

As frequent travelers to Italy, and have a deep love of Italian gelato, Piccola rivals Vivoli and Perche NO in Firenze!
Great, authentic high quality gelato and great conversation with the very gracious lady (the owner, I believe) that served us this treat.
Without a doubt, THE best gelato outside of Italy, and stands up strong to any gelateria in beautiful Italy.
Grazie mille!
Ciao
