A Gelato-Go artisan finishing a batch of pistachio gelato

Gelato-Go was founded in 2013 in South Beach, Miami. The idea was simple: bring the real Italian gelato-making tradition to America without stripping it down for scale. Every recipe would follow the Italian method. Every batch would be churned fresh that morning. No artificial colors. No powders passed off as flavor.

That first production lab was small. The standards were not. From the beginning, Gelato-Go used 100% Italian recipes, sourced the finest Italian ingredients — Bronte pistachios from Sicily, Langhe hazelnuts from Piedmont, Valrhona chocolate — and served the gelato at the correct temperature so the flavor lands the way it should.

“Authenticity, craft, and consistency — the Italian way, served in America.”

Real Italian gelato is a different product from ice cream. It contains less air and less fat, is churned more slowly, and is served a few degrees warmer. The texture is denser; the flavor comes through fully rather than being muted. That distinction matters to us, and it shows in every batch we produce.

Over the following years, the business grew organically. A second production lab opened in Los Angeles. The client list expanded from local private events to some of the most recognized names in fashion, film, hospitality, and sport. Ferrari, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Bulgari, Versace — fashion houses that know the difference between a detail done right and one that isn't. Netflix, Amazon Studios, Paramount. Royal Caribbean, Miami Heat, AC Milan. Meta, Spotify, Apple.

The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Soho House, Four Seasons, and Waldorf Astoria now carry Gelato-Go gelato through our wholesale division — more than 200 hospitality partners in total, each supplied fresh daily from our labs. We are Certified Kosher Dairy, produced locally. Vegan and kosher options are always available across our full menu of 60+ gelato and sorbet flavors.

Today Gelato-Go operates two production labs — Miami and Los Angeles — and serves events coast-to-coast, from South Beach to Beverly Hills and everywhere in between. The mission has not changed since 2013: bring the authentic Italian experience to America, without compromise.

02 — What we believe

Three rules. Since day one.

These are not marketing principles. They are the operating rules that have governed every batch since 2013 in South Beach.

01 · Craft

Churned fresh daily.

Every batch is made fresh that morning in our Miami or Los Angeles lab — never frozen in transit, never held overnight. Small-batch production means we control every step: the churn time, the temperature, the texture.

  • Small-batch production in Miami & Los Angeles
  • Never freezer-shipped to events
  • Slow-churned for density and flavor intensity
02 · Heritage

The finest Italian ingredients.

Bronte pistachio DOP from Sicily. Langhe hazelnuts from Piedmont. Valrhona chocolate. Fresh local milk. 100% Italian recipes, no artificial colors, no shortcuts. Over 60 gelato and sorbet flavors — from the three original (Stracciatella, Pistacchio, Amarena) to seasonal and custom creations.

  • 100% Italian recipes, unchanged since 2013
  • Natural ingredients in the finest Italian tradition
  • 60+ gelato and sorbet flavors available
03 · Consistency

The same standard, every time.

A 50-guest private wedding gets the same quality as a 500-guest Ferrari launch. We are Certified Kosher Dairy. Vegan and kosher options are always available. The label says exactly what's in the product — because the gelato should speak for itself.

  • Certified Kosher Dairy, produced locally
  • Vegan & kosher options always available
  • Coast-to-coast delivery at the same standard
03 — Trusted by

From South Beach to Beverly Hills.
A decade of collaborations.

Since our beginnings in South Beach, we have had the honor of working with world-class brands and institutions that share our commitment to quality. Fashion houses, film studios, luxury hotels, sports organizations, and technology companies — each collaboration is built on the same foundation: authentic Italian craft, delivered without compromise.

Our Italian artisans and chefs have served Ferrari launches, Prada showcases, Dolce & Gabbana soirées, and Chanel pop-ups. We have been on-site at Netflix premieres, Amazon Studios events, and Paramount activations. Royal Caribbean, Miami Heat, and AC Milan are on the roster. The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Soho House, Four Seasons, and Waldorf Astoria carry our gelato on their menus daily.

These are not casual relationships. Each one began with a client who had high standards for what they put in front of their guests, and chose Gelato-Go because the product matched those standards. That is the reputation we have built over 13 years, and the one we protect with every order.

04 — Questions

About Gelato-Go.

Where did Gelato-Go start?

Gelato-Go was founded in 2013 in South Beach, Miami. It started as a single artisan gelato operation built around 100% Italian recipes and fresh daily production. From South Beach, the business grew to a second production lab in Los Angeles — and now serves events and hospitality partners across both coasts.

What makes your gelato Italian artisan quality?

Italian artisan gelato differs from mass-produced ice cream in three main ways: less air (lower overrun), less fat, and a warmer serving temperature. This produces a denser, more flavorful product. We use 100% Italian recipes and source premium Italian ingredients — Bronte pistachio DOP, Langhe hazelnuts, Valrhona chocolate. Every batch is churned fresh that morning in our Miami or Los Angeles lab and carried to your event the same day.

How many flavors do you offer?

Our full menu covers 60+ gelato and sorbet flavors, from the three originals — Stracciatella, Pistacchio, Amarena — to chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, lemon sorbet, mango, and a rotating selection of seasonal and custom flavors. For events, we can build a bespoke menu around your brand, theme, or guest preferences.

Do you offer kosher and vegan options?

Yes. We are Certified Kosher Dairy, produced locally. Vegan and kosher options are always available across our gelato and sorbet menu. Let us know your dietary requirements when you reach out and we will build the menu to match.

What areas do you serve?

From our Miami lab, we serve South Beach, Miami Beach, Miami, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach, Sarasota, Naples, Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers, Winter Garden, and Anna Maria Island. From our Los Angeles lab, we serve Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, Orange County, El Segundo, and San Diego. Reach out if your event is outside these areas and we will confirm what is possible.
