il gelato opened the doors to its first gelato parlour in March 2003 in Subiaco and it was an instant success. The demand for our gelato accelerated the opening of our second shop in Cottesloe and our third in Northbridge in 2004. Two more stores will be opening in early 2006.

The secret of the success is our premium ice cream and our great team, consisting of a collaboration of Australian hospitality specialists and Italian ice cream experts dedicated to creating the real taste of Italy.

Australians are the second largest consumers of ice cream per capita in the world so it is no surprise that gelato is an emerging sector within the ice cream market.

Our vision is to be the number one gelato retailer in every market we enter by building a strong brand and infrastructure.
