Although Petersen Ice Cream in Oak Park is my #1 choice as I posted to you separately, Al Gelato is at 7434 North Avenue in Elmwood Park (West of Harlem on North Avenue).  Al Gelato I like for their Italian Ice (I usually stop there after eating at New Star (Chinese) on the same block.

Mitchell's, in south suburban Homewood, has by far the best ice cream I've ever tasted, and yes, I've tried Petersons.
