First Established in 1897 the ALTOBELL family emigrated from Picinisco (a small village in Central Italy) to bring ice cream to customers in Victorian England
We continue to sell traditional Italian Receipe Gelato with no egg or chemicals associated with soft whip ice cream. Our Gelato has less air and less fat than most ordinary ice cream allowing the natural flavours to come out and taste delicious.
