Craving gelato? You're in luck: a new business has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The newcomer to Whitestone, called Chillato, is located at 17-16 154th St.

The new gelateria serves gelato in the traditional cone and a bowl, as well as in popsicle form, or in a custom gelato cake or pie. Try the milk chocolate, lemon sorbet, coffee, raspberry lychee and more flavors. According to the business, "Each batch of gelato is freshly made with recipes that are lovingly crafted by two families with a passion for delicious gelato."

The new addition has gotten an enthusiastic response thus far, with a five-star rating out of seven reviews on Yelp.

Sora A., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 30, wrote, "Staff was so friendly and allowed us to try various flavors. Those gelatos were on point! The chocolate flavors were so deep and rich in flavor in all different ways, while the Sorbet flavors were unique and bursting in flavor that wasn't overly sweet or sour/tart. Can't wait to come back here to try all the flavors."

Yelper Chris C. added, “Honestly, every single flavor I tried (almost all of them) [was] outrageously good. My favorite was the lemon and cream. The chunks of sugary lemon were the right thing. The icepops were very tasty also. Can't wait to come back.”

Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Chillato is open from 1 p.m.–9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 1 p.m.–10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Make it at home.
