When you visit Amato Gelato at either their Kensington cafe or 17th Avenue south west location, prepare to experience the rich heritage of Italian gelato, expertly crafted with the finest ingredients.
Amato Gelato
Amato Gelato’s story begins in the sun-drenched Italian town of Amato in 1929. Gaetano LoScerbo, armed with a passion for local ingredients and a desire to cool down his community, began crafting gelato from a humble cart. This simple concept evolved into a family legacy when his grandson, Mario LoScerbo (Mario’s Gelati), immigrated to Canada in the late 1960s and expanded the business in Vancouver. Today, the Amato Gelato cafés are run by Mario’s nephew, Dino Falvo, who brought the brand to Calgary in 2003. While the original recipes remain the heart of the business, a constant evolution of flavours and offerings has transformed Amato Gelato into more than just a gelato shop. It’s now a vibrant Italian café, serving authentic pastries, coffee and cocktails alongside its world-renowned gelato. The use of fresh, natural ingredients, sourced from around the world, sets it apart from competitors, demonstrating its commitment to quality products resulting in more than 500 unique flavours. The company’s ability to adapt and innovate while staying true to its Italian heritage, has made it a beloved Calgary institution. With 48 flavours of gelato and sorbetto to choose from, there is something for everyone. Fan favourites include vanilla bean, chocolate, Sicilian pistachio, lemon sorbetto and gelato made from plant-based ingredients. For a taste of Italy, visit either of their two locations.
