Buongiorno Gelateria in Jersey City

Located at the entrance of the Newport mall in Jersey City, Buongiorno Gelateria serves an interesting selection of handmade gelato, like the Dubai chocolate that everyone seems to have right now in ice cream or coffee (theirs is pretty good but I am not sure I would get a full scoop), Rafaello chocolates, Kit Kat, etc. In fact, I got their Two Towers that was made with Kit Kat, Nutella and chocolate, a quite decadent mix that had some pieces of Kit Kat in it that added some crunchiness to it. I also tried their hazelnut and chocolate that is similar to Nutella, a bit more flavorful than their nocciola that is simply hazelnut, that I also enjoyed mixed with coffee when I got their affogato ($10.50 also covered with pistachio for an added nuttiness and crunch). Jodi got their coconut and dark chocolate gelato that were also pretty good, as well as their sorbet, with cantaloup and raspberry, that was really good. The only flavor I did not like was the Lord of the Rings that is made with Kinder Bueno: the Kinder Bueno lost its crunch and was like trying to eat cardboard…

We only tried their small cup where you get two scoops that are quite big and cost $9.25, the staff trying to convince us to try the medium size. The ice cream is topped with a small cone or a waffle heart, various toppings and drizzled with either chocolate sauce or white chocolate sauce.

A bit pricey, although in the range of most of the gelato places nowadays, the quality is good, the ice cream creamy, and the flavors are interesting. However, I am surprised they do not propose only one scoop as one may not want two much ice cream and would then pass instead of wasting money. Just my view…

Enjoy (I did)!
