L&B Spumoni Gardens – Dumbo

Beloved neighborhood spot L&B Spumoni Gardens has been serving piping-hot pizza and refreshing ice cream from its Bensonhurst restaurant since 1939. In late 2024, the family-owned business opened a Dumbo location, where it dishes up upside-down Sicilian pies and slices (cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top) and spumoni dessert. This branch has no outdoor seating and a more modern interior—a long, narrow space lined with tables on either side. Beyond pizza and ice cream, the menu of Italian favorites includes appetizers, pastas, heroes and entrees like chicken marsala, shrimp marinara and eggplant parm.
