Big strawb, baby granita. For us, 🍓 granita and panna ☁️ are a match made in heaven. But we encourage you to enjoy panna on any flavour! IYKYK

Wow. After what was the longest winter ever, we are finally here. It’s actually GRANITA SEASON 2026 🍓 We always kick it off with local strawbs, and as the season progresses, we will eat our way through Ontario fruit together in granita and gelato form.
If you don’t already know, GRANITA is our first love. It’s a simple, rustic product that tastes JUST LIKE the flavour it says it is… because it literally is. It only contains 3 (THREE) ingredients: FRUIT, WATER (or an infusion like coffee or tea), and in our kitchen, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR.
We decided to start off with five flavours this week, but we will work our way up to six, which is the max our granita cabinet can hold. You can definitely get panna (whipped cream) with your granita, and no brioche this week but stay tuned!
Still want gelato? We gotchu.
We brought back some of your faves:
JASMINE RICE, that beautifully milky gelato with little chewy nubs or rice.
WHITE SESAME PISTACHIO RIPPLE (dairy free), creamy tahini base gelato with ribbons of pistachio cream and pieces of toasted pistachio. You’ll never believe it’s dairy free and made with a water base. Yes we are magicians ✨
CREMA - Italian egg custard gelato with a hint of lemon zest.
TOASTED BRIOCHE & JAM - this is like eating toast and jam! Tito Toronto ‘s buttery brioche gets caramelized with brown sugar and butter and we swirl our house-made Concord grape jam.
Thanks for reading this flavour novella, see you this week! Ci vediamo presto ✌🏼

Lots of classics this week but we’ve thrown in a couple new “gusti”.
JACK & JILL 💕
Inspired by the DQ sundae my sister and I used order when we were teenagers, this is a sweet cream gelato with chocolate fudge and marshmallow cream- both made in-house by us. Swipe to the next slide for the back story of the DQ Jack & Jill ➡️
BROWN SUGAR KINAKO 🤎
Kinako is Japanese roasted soybean powder (Koreans also use soybean powder to coat a rice cake we call injeolmi). It tastes warm and nutty, reminiscent of toasted peanuts or hazelnuts. We rippled the Kinako gelato with a deep brown sugar caramel sauce.
Both of these flavours would pair really well with Black Sesame, Dark Chocolate or Coffee!
Gelato only on the menu but a granita announcement will be coming soon. Our Bronte pistachios should be arriving any day now from Sicily so stay tuned here for good news!
Ci vediamo presto, let’s see each other soon ✌🏼

We have heard your requests and brought back:
☕️🍋 CAFFÈ AMALFITANO: Espresso coffee gelato infused with lemon zest. It’s not tart; it’s *bright*. The lemon and coffee really complement each other.

🆕 this week:
🥊FRUIT PUNCH: Pineapple, orange, cranberry, pomegranate, lime and hibiscus all rolled into one!

The inspo for our CAFFÈ SPECIALE gelato flavour comes from the actual caffè speciale we have at Teichner in Rome. .dee always takes us there when we’re visiting and it’s truly a ritual to watch and to drink.
So what’s in our CAFFÈ SPECIALE?
Espresso coffee gelato get layered with swirls of chocolate hazelnut cream. 🤎🖤 Enjoy our memories of Rome in gelato form! And enjoy the banter between Carlo and his sister in the last slide while I was just trying to enjoy my coffee LOL!!!

The two of us were debating how “heavy” this week’s menu was feeling. Chocolate, nuts and chunks always connote “heavy” flavours for us. Hopefully a classic Madagascar vanilla, Limesicle (lime cream gelato) and the Lemon Bergamot sorbetto help balance things out.
It’s a weird in-between season now since the fresh fruit isn’t out yet, and we are using up our stores of last season’s peak fruit. Bear with us a bit longer while we wait for the Ontario fruit and our pistachios to arrive from Sicily. 🚢
Granita season only starts when we have access to LOCAL FRUIT 🍓🍓 And you’ll hear it here first!
In the meantime, enjoy a Caffè Speciale, the coffee flavour we were inspired to make by our favourite caffè speciale from Teichner in Rome.
For the tea lovers, this week we have Masala Chai (spiced tea), which is just like having a cozy tea latte.
Lemon bergamot sorbetto is back this week. Bergamot is a tart citrus fruit that grows in Calabria. Paired with the lemon, it makes for an extra floral and aromatic citrus sorbetto.
Thanks again to everyone who came by and cleaned us out on Monday. 🫶🏼🫶🏼
See you tomorrow, ci vediamo domani ✌🏼

🔔SUNDAY BONUS FLAVOUR:
Lapsang Souchong- Smoked black tea.
The entire kitchen was encapsulated in the fragrant smoky pine scent of this tea. The flavour of Lapsang Souchong is strong- the tea leaves are dried over large pine fires, giving it its characteristic taste and aroma.
Pair Lapsang Souchong with with the Fior di Panna for a smoky milk tea, or the Pear & Ginger to enhance the pine resin notes of the tea.
Available for SINGLE SERVE ONLY. NO PINTS.
Happy Sunday!
