What’s even better than a new ice cream shop? A new gelato, sorbetto and pastry shop! Gelato is an Italian-style ice cream that does not contain buttermilk and eggs – it’s more compact, but still airy and delicious—it’s impossible to look into a gelato display case and not start salivating. A Little Gelato is open Friday-Sunday and rotates their flavors consistently, so it’s good to check social media for updates. They also stock Italian cookies, macarons, pies, tarts and fresh baked breads.
Delicious! Feels like you are visiting a hidden gem. I imagine it won’t feel that way for long! I wouldn’t be surprised to start seeing lines outside the door. The pistachio gelato is the best I have ever had. Cant wait to return. Don’t think twice, treat yourself to some pastries and gelato!

I’m so happy this shop opened up! I’ve really missed homemade gelato and a good authentic Italian bakery moving away from New York. We ordered 2 pies and a tray of cookies for Thanksgiving and everything was amazing! Everyone really needs to stop by and try this place out! The owner, Ken, is also super friendly and you can tell his passion for what he does just by talking to him for a few minutes.

Fantastic people running an awesome little gelato place. Very kind, honest and accommodating. Easy to miss given the location but definitely stop in for a sample even if it's cold out. It will be worth your while. The frozen treats are very rich, smooth and will likely be some of the best you have ever tried. Did not have a chance to try the pastries but will do so at the next opportunity.

Best Gelato in town!
I just had a pleasure to meet Ken the owner of “A Little Gelato” in Durham: right behind Cook Out in Hwy 55. The ice cream was so delicious, creamy and the place was also so clean. I can tell Ken use really high quality ingredients and makes new flavors every week. He gave me some samples and they were all super delicious. I ended ordering pistacho and Nutella. The combination of these 2 flavors just delicious. He also has in the menu afogado, tiramisu, cheese cakes, cannolis, chocolate tarts and Italian cookies. Just amazing! I was so happy to have a little piece of Italy close to home.

I just visited A Little Gelato for the first time and it's truly some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The owner was also incredibly nice and let us try their offerings, which change every week. There are also cannolis, tiramisu, chocolate tarts, the most amazing cookies ever, and cheesecake, among other things. This place is a gift and I hope everyone gives them a chance. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
