gelateria

Italian ice cream

A gelateria is an Italian-style ice cream shop specializing in gelato—the denser, more intensely flavored Italian version of ice cream.

The word is Italian, and gelaterias often emphasize artisanal production and authentic recipes: We stopped at a little gelateria near the piazza.
