In the heart of Grado, GelaGrado is a go-to spot for those seeking authentic artisanal ice cream, made without shortcuts and with the utmost attention to quality.
Founded in 2012 as a café-gelateria, the business evolved in 2023 into a project dedicated exclusively to the creation of artisanal gelato, with the goal of achieving production excellence based on select ingredients and entirely artisanal methods.
Ice cream truly made from scratch
Each flavor is created in the workshop adjacent to the gelateria, where Darinka selects and processes the highest-quality ingredients, overseeing every stage of production: from the bases to the sauces, right through to the baked goods.
GelaGrado stands out for a deliberate choice: no use of industrial semi-finished products. Every recipe is created from scratch to ensure natural, authentic, and flavorful ice cream.
All production is 100% gluten-free, in a completely contamination-free environment, to offer a safe and inclusive experience.
The selection also includes:
lactose-free and vegan flavors, designed to meet diverse dietary needs
light, highly digestible products, without sacrificing creaminess and flavor
Artisanal tradition and innovation
GelaGrado was among the first businesses in Grado to reintroduce counter-top display cases, a technical choice that allows for optimal preservation of the gelato, protecting its quality, texture, and temperature.
An approach that prioritizes substance over appearance, rewarded by customer trust and the quality perceived from the very first taste. Alongside gelato, GelaGrado also offers artisanal yogurt, which can be customized with homemade toppings and crumbles, for a fresh and light alternative.
A Family Project
Behind GelaGrado lies a family-run business: alongside Darinka, Raffaele, Dario, and Eliana also contribute to creating a welcoming and authentic atmosphere, where customer care is combined with a strong passion for hospitality.
Their constant commitment to quality has been recognized with the Gambero Rosso Two Cones award, which ranks GelaGrado among Italy’s finest in the sector.
