Paciugo Italian Gelato

Paciugo Italian Gelato was founded by immigrants from Torino, Italy. The concept was developed by the Ginatta family based on Cristiana's family traditions and following their apprenticeship at a gelateria in Italy. They began franchising in 2004 and now have over 60 locations. Our extensive history and expertise in crafting fresh gelato sets us apart from others who claim Italian authenticity.

Paciugo is a flourishing authentic gelato and cafe concept serving fresh gelato, coffee and specialty drinks. Our mission is to bring the Italian passion for authentic gelato to customers outside of Europe. Paciugo Gelato offers more than 30 flavors of traditional gelato with over 200 healthy recipes. The menu also includes premier gourmet coffees, gelato cakes, and specialty dessert items.
