Amorino Gelato Open in Georgetown

A rose is a rose is a rose.

Offering  gelati, sorbetti, gourmet sundaes and milkshakes, gelato macarons, crepes, waffles, hot drinks, ice cream cakes and Italian gourmet specialties, Amorino Gelato has opened at 3401 M Street in Georgetown. 

In 2002, Amorino opened its first store in the heart of Paris when childhood friends, the co-founders Cristiano Sereni & Paolo Benassi combined their two passions: Italy – gelato.  The idea was to allow Parisians to discover the true taste of the finest Italian gelato recipes.

Amorino only uses carefully sourced ingredients, all of which are free of preservatives, artificial flavors and flavor enhancers, to make their artisanal gelati. Then, using a spatula, the gelati are shaped like a rose, making them both unique as well as appetizing and easily recognizable.

Customers may choose as many different flavors as petals on the flower, select the size of cone or cup and add a gelato-filled macaron to top their creation, just like a cherry on a cake.
