Italian Aperitivo by UNICO! As we well know you love our Aperitivo Italiano, we decided to repropose it again this year. Every event we organize is #unico and in 2019 our aperitivo comes back in a new guise: we have lots of news for you! Our Bromley store perfectly reflects the Italian tradition appreciated all around the World: we know that lots of Italians live here and – just as we do – they miss that special moment of the day when they finally chill after a long workday. Over the years, more and more people have taken part at our events and the target is now broad and varied. The aperitivo really brings everyone together! The Italian aperitivo by UNICO can break your routine, a typical and exclusive Italian night during which you can share fun and great food in a traditional atmosphere. The big opening will be on Thursday 11th April. We will have event every other week until September (25/4 – 9/5 – 23/5 – 6/6 – 20/6 – 4/7 – 18/7 – 1/8 – 15/8 – 29/8 – 12/9 – 26/9). Forget how you used to see our Bromley store, on Thursday night we’re reworking our image too! As we said earlier, we have big news this year. First of all: the menu will be created by our bolognese chef, for a night of the most authentic Italian tradition. Do you want a spoiler? Melon and Prosciutto, pizza margherita, parmesan cups filled with salad and balsamic glaze, puff pastry with different fillings. And last but not least, our focacce Capri, Mamma e Bologna… In order to experience a typical Italian night, our wine list includes: Italian Prosecco – of course, Vermentino di Gallura (white wine) and Barbera D’alba (red wine).

Cupido has arrived at Unico, bringing with him a lot of sweet surprises…

As we all know, Saint Valentine’s Day is nearly here, together with heart-adorned cards, cute boxes of chocolate, bouquets of red roses and teddy bears. All these cute presents exchanged between loved ones and all in the name of St. Valentine, the day of romance.

Some of us cannot wait to celebrate this day, others hate it and others don’t care. Either if you are a fan of this day, either if you hate it… It is said that all we need is love, but a little chocolate and maybe some gelato now and then doesn’t hurt, does it?

Here at Unico we like to celebrate every occasion and we would like to welcome everyone with open arms. We will offer our usual delicious range of gelato and delicacies… but for the hopeless romantics we have created products specifically for this sweet occasion…

Be a Gelato Chef for a day… Summer ☀️ is almost over, but it doesn’t mean that fun needs to go away too. If you are a gelato lover  looking to try new things and escape from your daily routine while having fun, then our Gelato Making Experience is for you. We created these customisable activities to show anyone interested how original gelato is really prepared in Bologna. When we organize a workshop, the vibe is the best. No matter your age, you can easily have an amazing time getting your hands dirty and learning the whole process.  You just need to be a gelato lover.

Diving into the gelato culture… What’s all of this about?

Recently, we decided to open our laboratory’s door to the public for anyone to have the opportunity to learn and explore behind the scenes of how an authentic, artisanal gelato is handcrafted. How the ingredients and temperature; during the making process have an impact in the final result, to create a unique flavour and creamy texture. In here, instructed by our friendly and passionate master chefs, you will learn everything about the ‘gelato bolognese’ culture, along with all the elements regarding this ancient tradition, that dates to 500 years ago.   The special thing about having a handcrafted gelato is that even a single scoop is more than enough to stimulate your senses and emotions as soon as the cream touches your palate. It’s a delighting experience. The people who visit our Gelato Making Experience not only finish the day with a creamy, refreshing, delicious banquet but also as a gelato connoisseur. They learn from the differences between gelato and the industrial ice cream, to even how to produce their own authentic Gelato cremoso di Bologna. We care about you. So even if you are a vegan or have dietary restrictions, we’ll teach you the preparation of mouth-watering original vegan/coeliacs alternatives of gelato as well. Remember: an artisanal gelato is a healthy yet delicious alternative that can sweeten any kind of celebration or social event that you are planning. A gelato is such a versatile piece of culinary art that you can share it with your friends and family at any special moment of your life. After leaving our laboratory, you’ll be able to surprise your guests with your original handcrafted gelato on your next social event. They will feel as if they were eating a gelato on a warm summer day in the heart of Bologna. Pistacchio, Tiramisú, Chocolate, Stracciatella, etc.  You’ll end up creating your own favourites combinations and flavours.
