Perhaps you’ve heard of us. We’re Bruno and Josh, the founders of The Gelato Fiasco.
We create more than 450 flavors of world-class gelato and sorbetto from scratch at our flagship store in Brunswick. That means we use Maine milk, natural cane sugar, and real fruits, candies, or nuts to create your gelato. And now you can discover our gelato scooped fresh every day in Boothbay Harbor.
Stop by our partner store, Gelato Maineia, and find out why the Maine Switch said that “quality and creativity are the guiding principles” at The Gelato Fiasco. While we don’t own or operate the store, we’re the exclusive creator of the shop’s gelato. And if you already like what you see, why not to Facebook and become our fan? We’ll keep you updated on our quest to bring you the world’s best gelato.
Your Questions Answered
What is gelato?
Gelato is an Italian style of ice cream. It is made wi
th milk instead of cream. Our gelato contains milk, sugar, and natural stabilizers. We then add the unique items — ranging from brownie batter to cinnamon — that make each flavor special.
What is the difference between gelato and sorbetto?
Sorbetto is a style of gelato that was originally from the southern part of Italy. It is made without milk and is typically fruit based. Since our sorbetto is made from only fruit, sugar and water, it is fat-free.
What makes your gelato so delicious/as good as Italy’s/better than anyone else?
We use the same techniques that were perfected at the best Italian gelatirias a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, many creators of gelato have replaced these practices with inferior — but faster and cheaper — production methods. Instead of using the flavor pastes made by manufacturers, we use authentic ingredients — like real fruits, nuts, candies, cookies, confections, and whatever else our imaginations call for. Not only does this practice allow us to create more interesting and unique flavors, the flavors themselves taste like the real thing — because they are made from the real thing.
