Lia's Is Now Scoopz

There was some dismay, though maybe more confusion, when the a "For Rent" sign went up in the window of Lia's Ices last fall. But the space is back open, under the original ownership, but now it's named Scoopz. Lia's had fallen under the scrutiny of locals when their priced jumped dramatically last year, so maybe this change is a chance at redemption. The lone Yelp review says:

I tried the chocolate peanut butter gelato, which was rich, creamy, and decadent. Other flavors on the special board, such as vanilla and hot pepper, looked intriguing. My friends seemed to enjoy the pineapple, lemon, and passion fruit ices, none of which were sickeningly sweet. Prices are very reasonable, and the location is great.

That gelato sounds great, but I'd like to know if it's still made by the undisputed king of Brooklyn gelato, Gino Cammarata. Has anyone been in yet? Anybody know the scoop? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
