Gelati d’Antan

Nicolò Arietti is the heart and soul of the Gelateria D’Antan, a small craft business which has been winning prestigious awards for years now. It is situated in Via Nicola Fabrizi, a short distance from the Corso Svizzera street market whose finest produce Nicolò uses to make his fruit-flavoured water ices and ice cream. What makes D’Antan’s ices stand out is the choice of all its ingredients, dairy and otherwise, always of the highest quality. “Tonda gentile” hazelnuts from Piedmont’s Langa hills, Sicilian pistachio nuts and cacao, for example, add personality and wholesomeness. Each ice cream is prepared with a different base to characterise it, avoiding standardised similarity of taste and ensuring distinct personality. This is the secret behind chocolate flavours such as plain chocolate, plain chocolate and orange water ice, and gianduja. And fruit flavours – natural, of course – from damson to peach, to cocoa and amaretto, to raspberry and malvasia. The range also includes iced cakes for every taste and savoury ice cream to go with tasty food.
