Arte

Top choice in Tel Aviv


No ordinary ice-cream shop, Arte sells bona fide gelato in the heart of the Nahalat Binyamin Crafts Market. Run by chefs Stefania Pagani and Marco Camorali, professional ice-cream makers from Tuscany and Sicily, Arte is as sustainable as it gets. It does not use food colouring or chemicals and sources ingredients locally, where possible.

Arte also offers a large selection of dairy and vegan ice creams, as well as granita (frozen Italian sorbets). But our favourite flavour was the indulgent Marco’s Cake, almond crumble and forest berries. It's a contender for best ice cream in town.
