Amorino Gelato

This Italian-run gelato empire was founded by childhood friends Cristiano Sereni and Paolo Benassi, who unveiled their first shop in Paris in 2002. Since then, the chain has opened dozens of outposts around the globe, from Berlin to Dubai to Cancun. In 2014, Amorino finally arrived in the East Bay. The spot has elevated gelato scooping to an art form, shaping your flavors into a multi-petal, concentric rose design atop the cone. The assortment spans over two dozen flavors, including banana, Sicilian citrus, dulce de leche, cocoa-hazelnut, and mango. In addition, the Frenchy cafe peddles gelato-filled macarons and crepes.
