🍨 Gelato Cimmino, a locally owned gelato shop that opened in Old Town Scottsdale in 2018, has launched its long-in-the-works second location on the northeast corner of Gilbert and Vaughn (just north of OHSO Brewery) in downtown Gilbert.
Owner Mario Cimmino grew up in Torre Del Greco, an Italian city well-known for its tradition of gelato.
What’s on the menu?
More than a dozen flavors of gelato, such as dark chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio, cinnamon, and coconut ($4.50-$6.50). The gelatos are made from scratch using ingredients sourced directly from Italy.
Besides gelato, the menu offers a variety of coffee drinks, including affogato (gelato topped with hot espresso) and Chocolate Dream (milk chocolate gelato and chilled coffee topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings).
The space
Formerly the home of Western Audio stereo repair. It’s right next door to Creamistry, which creates customized ice creams with liquid nitrogen, and just across the street from Peterson’s Ice Cream & Cafe.
