Pinguino Specialty

Quality artisan ice cream since 1973

Since 1973, ours has been a family story, made of passion and dedication to true artisan ice cream. Every day we prepare our flavors with fresh and carefully selected ingredients, following the Italian tradition that has always distinguished us.
Among our specialties stands out the famous Pinguino, an ice cream covered with crunchy chocolate that, over the years, has become a beloved symbol of Gelateria Centrale.
