Plated gelato for restaurants and hotels
What restaurants struggle with, and how we fix it
Inconsistent supply
National brands reformulate without notice. As your wholesale supplier we don't, your pistachio tastes the same in January and in July.
Generic flavors
Stracciatella that's really vanilla with sprinkles? Ours is fior di latte with cracked Italian dark chocolate.
Walk-in chaos
2.5 quart pans stack cleanly in a reach-in, and standing orders mean no last-minute scrambles.
Long lead times
Most products are ready in 1 day, so you can reorder on short notice without dead stock in the walk-in.
Custom flavors
Olive oil and Maldon? Black sesame and miso? Our master gelatiere will build custom flavor solutions with your team.
Slow account managers
One human, reachable by text, who knows your menu, not a ticket queue.

Restaurant FAQ
What pack size makes sense for a 60-cover restaurant?
Most full-service restaurants do well with 2.5 quart pans and 4–6 flavors on rotation, one pan covers roughly 12 plated 3 oz scoops, so a standing weekly order smooths demand and keeps your walk-in clear. We model it with you on the intake call.
What container sizes and packaging options are available?
Container sizes include 2.5 quart, 5 liter, 6 liter decorated, 2.5 gallon, and traditional Pozzetti formats. Packaging options include biodegradable boxes for accounts that need sustainable formats.
Can we get our logo printed on the pan?
Yes, decorated 6L pans support custom branding for tableside service. We design and produce labels in-house with no setup fee. Ask your account manager for current lead times.
Do you make more than gelato?
Yes, gelato, sorbet, and vegan flavors, plus gelato accessories like cones, cups, and spoons. Ask your account manager what fits your program.
How fast can we reorder?
Most products are ready in 1 day once your account is set up, so you can reorder on short notice. Custom flavors developed with your chef take 2 to 4 days.
