Planning your gelato stop
What should I check if I have dietary requirements when choosing gelato?
Ask about ingredients, allergens and preparation for the flavours you want. Confirm suitability with the shop rather than relying on the flavour name alone.
How can I add a gelato stop to an Italy itinerary?
Use the Italy gelato guide to find places to investigate near your route. Check each shop’s address and opening times, and ask about the flavours and ingredients you want before making a special detour.
