The craft

Made the Italian way

No shortcuts. No bottles of flavouring — the kind lesser places use. Just real ingredients, churned fresh in Scarborough.

Real ingredients

Fruit and nut purées painstakingly sourced from Italy. You can taste the difference.

Silky smooth

Beautifully soft, flawlessly smooth — the texture regulars write home about.

Huge scoops, fair prices

Generous scoops and honest prices. Great value, say the reviews — all 2,977 of them.

The signatures

Worth crossing town for

A vibrant cherry gelato cone in a waffle cone

Gelato cones & tubs

Pistachio — the one everyone talks about — plus a cabinet of changing flavours, with marked vegan options.

Eton Mess sundae

Pistachio, honeycomb & tiramisu gelato. Glorious — and huge. Built for sharing (or not).

Cannoli

Crisp shell, creamy heart. Properly Sicilian, made to disappear in three bites.

Coffee, shakes & more

Real Neapolitan coffee, thick hot chocolate, milkshakes — and Italian beers for the grown-ups.

The hosts

Leonardo & Daniele

Two Italians who brought a taste of home to the Yorkshire coast. Warm welcomes, real conversation — and gelato they would proudly serve in Naples. Even the radio station is Italian.

“The best gelato we have tasted outside of Italy.”
