Smooth Gelato Meets Fountain Hot Chocolate on Broadway
Spoon into dessert at a compact Upper West Side shop with a few tables for an unhurried pause.
🍨 Chocolate From a Fountain
Rito Gelato is the small Broadway storefront you could walk past while thinking about dessert. Step inside and the focus sharpens around smooth, creamy gelato, with balanced flavors that put the ingredients ahead of a heavy hit of sugar. Let the first spoonful set the pace, rather than rushing straight back onto the sidewalk.
The warmer order has its own setup. Hot chocolate comes from a dedicated chocolate fountain, pouring dark and creamy into the cup. Keep that option in mind when your sweet tooth is asking for something to sip instead of something frozen.
Inside, a few tables give you somewhere to sit, with Italian music playing through the clean, compact space. The Upper West Side shop is at 2341 Broadway. It opens daily at noon and closes at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday service continuing until 11 PM.
