L'Arte del Gelato occupied a slot of the West Village for seven years, serving up cups of soft, pliable gelato festooned with tiny trowels to sizable crowds that packed the tiny address each warm night. But in April, the pair of proprietors of the business parted ways, and in June, Salvatore Potestio, the partner who maintained ownership, quietly changed the sign overnight, transforming L'Arte into Dolce Gelateria. He's also making some changes to the concept.
The biggest change comes in the flavor focus. "Some recipes are the same, but my kids were born in America, and I'm trying to make gelato in American flavors," Potestio explains. He's already rolled out a butter pecan--"it's much lighter than ice cream, and you can taste the pecan much better," he says--and he's preparing Oreo and Almond Joy renditions in his new Ridgewood, New Jersey ice cream laboratory.
