Ciao amici!
My name is Vincenzo and after growing up in Italy I moved to America in 2009 to follow my love. I met my now wife Julianne in Milano, while she was studying abroad and the rest is history!
After training in Italy for several years I opened up my own Gelateria & Dessert Café in the heart of historic downtown West Chester, right outside Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania - USA.
My mission, both with this website & my Café, is to finally bring to America the lost art of truly from scratch, artisanal gelato - the way it was meant to be! Just because you go to Italy it doesn't mean you always get the best gelato, and this is especially true in the US. Gelato is gaining popularity, but the overall quality in US is still really poor and too many just overcharge you for a glorified, colorant and artificial flavoring filled, misrepresentation of it.
Are you looking to handcraft and sell the best gelato in your area? Are you just here to learn more about this amazing frozen dessert that you discovered in Italy? Either way with this blog & professional classes I finally want to set the story straight and clear up all the confusion between any "gelato" & the true, artisanal version.
Let's get started!
Vincenzo
