The Coolness of Gelato.
The Warmth of Community
Figo il Gelato Italiano brings the best of Italian gelato to the U.S. market. Merging imported gelato base and traditional recipes with bold flavor innovations, Figo delivers a taste experience that others can’t match.
Much more than a typical gelateria, Figo (“cool” in Italian) is a vibrant third space – a place that draws people together through music, events, great food, and the sense of connection that’s too often lacking in modern communities. We celebrate the “coolness” of the people we serve.
Family-owned and -operated, Figo is backed by a team with decades of experience in building food-related brands. That means seamless systems, a secure supply chain, and marketing mastery.
A Figo franchise isn’t just a taste good/feel good model. With five locations in New York City, we’re a proven platform for scalable business growth.
We hope you’ll join us!
Traditional Italian Cool,
Modern American Opportunity
Figo il Gelato Italiano delivers uncompromising quality, rooted in Italian tradition. Denser, silkier, and healthier than ice cream, gelato’s vivid fruit, nut, and chocolate notes provide an unmatched culinary experience.
But Figo is about more than superior flavor. We are a celebration of community and the essence of each individual who walks through our door.

As a dessert lover, I don't eat enough gelato or ice cream but when I tried Figo Il Gelato Italiano in Little Italy, my sweet tooth craving was satisfied! I am so intrigued to try their other flavors. When I arrived on a late weekday, the employees were kind and accommodating even at around 11PM. The store was clean and bright with a variety of flavors. It is small and seems like a to-go shop. I tried their chocolate, almond, and lemon flavors. Super creamy and fluffy and melts in your mouth delicious. Not only did they sell gelato, there are some pastries and cake slices available.

My friend and I stopped by this Figo location on a Wednesday night, and I honestly wanted to try everything when I was looking at the vibrant gelato colors. I settled for their Nerone while my friend got the Fragola. They gave us huge scoops on the cone, and it was worth the price!
Nerone: I love that its vegan & dairy free, and the rich dark chocolate taste was not at all too bitter.
Fragola: My friend's ice cream was lightly sweet with the perfect strawberry taste. It was not too sugary in her opinion too.
There was plenty of seating available the night we came, but there was soon a long line that formed after we finished our gelato.

Super outgoing staff. Glad to have you there and you can definitely feel that energy when ordering. Outrageously tasty flavors of thick gelato.
I doubled down on the Figo flavor. Ricotta cheese, figs, amaretto I think it was? So savory and sweet!
If you want some unique flavors of gelato I would definitely check this place out 🙂
