Gelato is an exquisite Italian frozen dessert crafted with more milk than cream, resulting in a silkier texture and more intense flavors than traditional ice cream. Made fresh daily in small batches with premium, natural ingredients, our authentic gelato contains less fat while delivering a richer taste, making it a mindful indulgence you can feel good about sharing with your family.
Sorbetto is a refreshingly pure Italian frozen dessert made from fresh fruit, water, and a touch of natural sweetness, completely free from dairy and eggs. This classic Italian treat is perfect for those seeking a light, vibrant dessert that captures the true essence of ripe fruit while being naturally vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
Unlike traditional ice cream, authentic gelato is crafted with more milk than cream and churned at a slower speed, creating a luxuriously dense texture with less air and fewer calories. While premium ice cream is delicious, Italian gelato delivers more intense flavors and a silkier mouthfeel, thanks to our artisanal process and carefully sourced ingredients from Italy.
