Why go
Gelato and sorbet, and nothing else
The whole of Bertoni Gelato is a gelato case and the person behind it. The order runs one way: look at the flavors, choose, take the cup or cone from the counter. Sorbet sits alongside the gelato for anyone skipping dairy, and that is the extent of the menu.
There is no pastry case here, no bread, no viennoiserie and no coffee program to pull attention away from the freezer. Read it as a single-subject shop, which is how the better Italian-style gelaterie usually work.
A Williamsburg dessert stop
The shop sits in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where it works as a neighborhood dessert stop rather than a New York City destination: somewhere to walk to after dinner, or to fold into an afternoon on foot. Gelateria Gentile covers the same ground in the same neighborhood, and Bertoni holds its own by keeping the format narrow.
Frequently asked questions
What does Bertoni Gelato serve?
Gelato and sorbet, and effectively nothing else. There is no bread, pastry case or coffee program, so the visit is a counter order: read the flavors, pick one, take it away. The sorbet covers anyone skipping dairy. It is a single-subject Williamsburg shop rather than a cafe to settle into.
