Company Overview

Fresh, artisanal, delicious. The Gelatissimo story began in 2002 where our first store opened in the heart of Sydney. Churning gelato in store, using secret traditional Calabrian family recipes, the word of mouth spread and before long, there were queues out the door and new store openings followed. In our 23rd year in business, we are operating in several key international markets outside of Australia, with growth plans for many more locations across the globe.
