Anita Gelato was started in a Mediterranean kitchen in 1998 by Mama Anita Avital. With the help of her youngest son Nir, Anita would create sweet treats, cakes, and pastries for friends and neighbors to enjoy. Nir, started preparing ice cream bases, to which Anita would add her homemade jams. Soon, Nir began to sell ice cream from a cart at a weekly local market, and it became a huge success, leading to the opening of their first Anita Gelato store in 2002 Since then they have opened branches in Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Brisbane, Cyprus, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Juan, Sydney, and London.

The Times Square shop is located at 207 West 45th Street, New York, NY. For more information, visit anita-gelato.com (Official opening set for Nov 1, 2023)
