Authentic Italian Gelato in Monmouth County, NJ

When most people think of Di Santillo's, they think of our legendary sandwiches. But did you know we also make authentic Italian gelato in-house? Our housemade gelato is crafted using traditional Italian techniques and the finest ingredients — and it's the perfect sweet ending to any Di Santillo's meal.

What Makes Gelato Different from Ice Cream?

Gelato is the Italian cousin of ice cream, but with some key differences. Gelato is made with more milk and less cream than American ice cream, giving it a denser, silkier texture. It's also churned more slowly, which means less air is incorporated — resulting in a richer, more intense flavor.

Our Gelato Flavors

We currently offer classic Vanilla Bean, rich Pistachio, and rotating seasonal flavors. Our vanilla is made with real vanilla bean for a clean, authentic flavor. Our pistachio uses real pistachio paste for a deep, nutty richness that you can't get from artificial flavoring.
