Whether you’re planning a wedding, hosting a corporate event, looking for unique gift ideas, or simply curious about the world of clean-label gelato, you’re in the right place.

Here on the blog, we take you behind the scenes of our Rockville kitchen to share the heart and craftsmanship that goes into every scoop. From seasonal flavor launches to the latest dessert trends, we offer an inside look at how we bring joy, beauty, and bold flavor to every pint and event we serve. Our gelato is made in small batches using premium, all-natural ingredients—no artificial additives, ever. That means you can enjoy every bite with confidence, knowing it’s as wholesome as it is indulgent.

But this blog isn’t just about what’s in the freezer—it’s about how gelato can enhance every experience. Explore creative ideas for incorporating our vintage gelato carts into your next wedding or gathering, learn tips for building the perfect dessert bar, or discover how to personalize our gelato gift boxes for birthdays, holidays, or client appreciation. We’ll also share real stories from events we’ve catered, inspiring ways customers use our products, and helpful insights into the Italian tradition of gelato-making.
