Grom Gelato (West Village) - Review

By Dudes on Foods   Apr 29, 2008

Intro Grom - Highly Not Recommended 233 Bleecker St, New York 10014 at Carmine St Phone: 212-206-1738 After the great meal at Casa, we were walking around the West Village and found out they opened up a Grom Gelato. So, shocked that this was much much worse than the one in the Upper West Side. Definitely not recommended. My Menu 1) Hazelnut Gelato 2) Bacio GelatoRating System --- What the F - in a bad way * Good ** Great *** What the F – in a good wayDish Comments Both gelati had great, intense flavors. Unfortunately, the texture was terrible. The gelati were very gritty, since there were ground up nuts that were not strained... FULL REVIEW

Saturday + Sunday = Too Many Pastries & Gelato Times Two

By A Passion For Food   Jan 13, 2008

Saturday Morning... Good Morning! 1/12/07 Upper West Side I met Shravani for breakfast at one of my favourite coffee shops in the city. Located on the Upper West Side, the 40 minute subway ride from the Lower East Side is certainly not the most convenient, but my visits to Arte Around the Corner always leave me quite happy with a sense of peace. Inside Arte Around the Corner It's been months since the last time I've seen Shravani - the very first friend I made as an NYU freshman, and one of the few NYU people I still keep in close touch with. L to R: Rustichella (Lemon Oil Cake), Flourless Chocolate Cake We walked in around the 10... FULL REVIEW

Sculpture and a Scoop

By Erin's Kitchen   Sep 06, 2007

Though the gelato at the newish UWS spot Grom inspires long lines, it certainly can't inspire the awe that Richard Serra's massive steel sculptures do. Serra's Torqued Ellipse IV (1998) and Intersection II (1992) currently sit in the sculpture garden at the MOMA, where you can gaze in wonder while savoring Il Laboratorio de Gelato's intense dark chocolate gelato. The Serra exhibit closes September 10, so get there soon! FULL REVIEW

Camera in the Kitchen: Grom

By Gothamist   Jun 08, 2007

Anyone who is gelato-crazy has already been to the Upper West Side to visit Grom, the latest location of the Italian gelateria that opened a month ago. Some of us have already been, but others only first visited this past Tuesday. Not because we don't love gelato as though it were our own child (a tasty, tasty child), but because we're lazy.

Grom’s Apology

By The Wandering Eater   May 18, 2007

Hey Everyone! It seems like the reason why Grom’s workers are leveling their gelato it’s because they’re INEXPERIENCED. It’s not their business practice. Those of you who’ve read my issues with the gelato recently, said I would write an “angry email.” Well, I wrote a complaint and emailed to Italy about this problem. Here’s the reply: FULL REVIEW

Gelato, Italian Style, at Grom

By Gothamist   May 07, 2007

Upper West Siders had a new store to flock to this weekend: Grom, a gelato shop that opened on Broadway between 76th and 77th Streets. There were lines, and our own Joe Schumacher braved the UWS foodies and sweet-toothed for a taste. I ordered a small luna rosso, which was the flavor of the month. It was quite good --dense and creamy. It was also expensive --$4.75 plus tax for that a small cup. That cup, by the way, is made of biodegradable paper, unlike the plastic cups used by Il Laboratorio del Gelato on the Lower East Side.However, Joe warns that the $4.75 might prohibit people from being regulars. The Grom concept is that its... FULL REVIEW

Grom Gelato

Grom opened the past Saturday. Due to the extensive press coverage from The NY Times, NY Magazine, amongst the plethora, it’s too tempting for me to pass up anything related to gelato.

Grom Gelato

By Salli Vates   May 05, 2007

"This is the line for gelato?" was the recurring comment people threw in my direction. The line, which I'd been waiting in for an hour and a half, stretched past Big Nick's Pizza, Jubilee, Beard Papa and Lush, to end at Grom, which was celebrating its grand opening by offering free gelato. "Yes, this is the line," I sighed wearily. "Nuts," was the inevitable response. People coped with the wait FULL REVIEW
