i gusti

the flavours

Around sixteen a day, made every morning.

There are about sixteen gusti in the case on any given day, and we churn them all fresh that same morning in small copper-hearted batches. Nothing sits overnight, nothing comes off a truck, and there are no powders or shortcuts — just Italian recipes, Icelandic milk and cream, and fruit at its peak. Because we make so little at a time, the case moves: your favourite might be waiting for you, or there might be a brand-new reason to fall in love. Come see what's fresh today.

i gusti

Sixteen flavours a day.
Zero shortcuts.

The case you see is the case we made this morning. About sixteen flavours, small batches, churned in-house before the doors open — classic Italian gelato, dairy-free sorbets, seasonal specials and a few Icelandic house ideas. What's here today may be gone tomorrow, and something new may have taken its place. That's the whole point.

CLASSICO

Pistacchio di Bronte

Made for pistachio lovers, this gelato is dense, calm, and deeply nutty. The flavour opens softly, then turns toasted and almost buttery on the tongue. A pinch of salt keeps the Bronte pistachio bright and elegant.

Contains milk, cream, pistachio. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Stracciatella

A clean fior di latte base carries thin ribbons of dark chocolate through every scoop. The chocolate snaps first, then melts into the cool milk and cream. Simple, bright, and impossible to stop eating.

Contains milk, cream. May contain soy from chocolate. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Fior di Latte

This is gelato at its most honest: milk, cream, sugar, and careful churning. The texture is silky and light, with a fresh dairy sweetness that feels almost floral. It is beautiful alone and even better beside fruit, coffee, or chocolate.

Contains milk, cream. Gluten-free.

VEGANO

Cioccolato Fondente

Deep cocoa gives this vegan gelato its serious, grown-up character. It is smooth and intense without heaviness, with notes of roasted cacao, espresso, and a little bitter edge. No dairy, just a dark chocolate finish that lingers.

Dairy-free vegan flavour. May contain soy from chocolate. Gluten-free.

STAGIONALE

Fragola

Fragola tastes like strawberries at their best: juicy, fragrant, and naturally sweet. We keep the fruit bright rather than candy-like, so the scoop finishes clean and fresh. When the berries are especially good, this flavour disappears fast.

Dairy-free fruit sorbet. Gluten-free.

VEGANO

Limone di Sorrento

This sorbet is all zest, juice, and sunshine. Sorrento lemon brings a fragrant peel note first, followed by clean acidity and a cool, sparkling finish. It resets the palate like a sea breeze after a long lunch.

Dairy-free vegan sorbet. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Caramello Salato

Sugar is cooked until it turns amber and almost smoky, then folded into cream. The result is round, glossy, and gently salty, with a warmth that builds after each spoonful. It tastes like the last golden edge of a caramel pot.

Contains milk, cream. Gluten-free.

LA CASA

Skyr & Aðalbláber

Our Icelandic house flavour balances creamy skyr with dark, wild bilberries. The skyr brings a clean tang and a soft cheesecake-like body, while the berries stain the scoop purple and fragrant. It feels local, fresh, and quietly luxurious.

Contains milk, cream. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Nocciola del Piemonte

Piemonte hazelnuts give this gelato its rounded, toasted depth. The first spoonful is creamy and mellow, then the nut flavour grows warmer and more praline-like. It is rich without shouting, the kind of classic that tastes older than fashion.

Contains milk, cream, hazelnut. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Vaniglia del Madagascar

Real Madagascar vanilla makes this scoop floral, creamy, and quietly aromatic. The flavour is soft at first, then opens into custard, honey, and warm spice. It is gentle enough for children and detailed enough for anyone who loves true vanilla.

Contains milk, cream. Gluten-free.

VEGANO

Lampone

Lampone is vivid, tart, and full of berry perfume. The raspberry comes through with seeds, juice, and a natural sharpness that keeps the sweetness in check. It is refreshing after chocolate, beautiful with vanilla, and perfect on its own.

Dairy-free vegan sorbet. Gluten-free.

VEGANO

Mango & Passionfruit

Ripe mango gives the sorbet a smooth, sunny body. Passionfruit cuts through with fragrant acidity, making the finish lively instead of heavy. It is tropical, clean, and made for the brightest corner of the gelato case.

Dairy-free vegan sorbet. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Caffè

Caffè is churned for people who like their coffee real. It has the aroma of fresh espresso, the roundness of cream, and a gentle bitter note that keeps each spoonful grown-up. The finish is smooth, roasted, and quietly energising.

Contains milk, cream. Gluten-free.

CLASSICO

Cioccolato Bianco & Lampone

Sweet white chocolate gives this gelato a creamy, vanilla-rich base. Raspberry cuts through with colour, fragrance, and a tart little spark, so the scoop never feels too sweet. It is soft, pretty, and just a little dramatic.

Contains milk, cream. May contain soy from white chocolate. Gluten-free.

STAGIONALE

Rabarbaro

Rabarbaro is bright, tart, and unmistakably seasonal. The rhubarb brings a garden sharpness, softened just enough to feel juicy and generous. It tastes like early summer in Iceland, when the stalks are pink and the evenings grow long.

Dairy-free fruit sorbet. Gluten-free.

LA CASA

Saltlakkrís

Saltlakkrís is our love letter to Icelandic liquorice. It is creamy, dark, and salty enough to make the tongue wake up, with a gentle sweetness underneath. Some guests order it every visit; others taste it once and understand Iceland immediately.

Contains milk, cream. May contain gluten from liquorice.

la stagione

How the case changes

We don't decide the flavours a year ahead — the seasons do, and so does whatever arrived fresh this week.

Come find us

le quattro famiglie

The four families

Every flavour in the case belongs to one of four families. Look for the little tag — it tells you what you're about to taste.

CLASSICO

The classics — the Italian gelato you already love, made properly. Pistacchio di Bronte, fiordilatte, stracciatella, dark chocolate, toasted hazelnut. Creamy, milk-based, churned dense and slow. These are the recipes from the family book, and they anchor the case all year round.

VEGANO

Vegan sorbets — completely dairy-free, and never an afterthought. Real fruit, water and sugar, churned until they're bright and clean on the tongue. Lemon, strawberry, raspberry, dark chocolate sorbet. If you're avoiding milk or just want something that tastes like pure fruit, this is your family.

STAGIONALE

Seasonal — here for a while, then gone until next time. These follow whatever is at its peak: summer berries, autumn nuts and spice, a fleeting fruit that only shows up for a couple of good weeks. If a stagionale flavour catches you, enjoy it now — it won't wait for you.

LA CASA

House specials — our Italian hands meeting Icelandic ideas. This is where the family recipes play with local flavours and small experiments you won't find anywhere else. It's the most personal corner of the case, and the one most likely to surprise you. Ask us what's new in la casa today.

domande frequenti

Flavour questions

Do you have vegan options?

Always. Our VEGANO sorbets are completely dairy-free — real fruit, water and sugar, nothing else. There are usually several in the case each day, and they change with the season. Just look for the VEGANO tag, or ask us and we'll point you to what's dairy-free today.

How do you handle allergens?

Every flavour is labelled with its allergens, and we can tell you exactly what's in each one — most contain milk and cream, several contain tree nuts like pistachio and hazelnut, and some contain egg. Because everything is made in one small kitchen, we can't promise zero cross-contact with nuts or milk, so please tell us about a serious allergy and we'll be honest about what's safe for you.

How often do the flavours rotate?

The classics are here most days, but the seasonal and house flavours change constantly — sometimes week to week, sometimes with whatever fruit arrived that morning. The case you find on a Tuesday in July won't be the case you find on a Saturday in November. That's how we keep everything fresh and at its peak.

Can I taste before I buy?

Of course — that's half the fun. Ask for a small taste of anything that catches your eye, especially the seasonal and la casa flavours you might not know. We'd rather you find the one you love than rush a choice. Take your time at the case.

Can I take gelato home in a tub?

Yes — we pack takeaway tubs in a few sizes, filled with whatever's in the case that day. They travel well for the short trip home; because it's fresh gelato with no shortcuts, it's best enjoyed soon rather than stored for weeks. Ask us to mix a few flavours into one tub if you can't choose.
