Make Me Time the Best Time

 – with a Unico Gelato family tub

The ultimate in self-care is making sure you are well rested with ample time to de-stress. That’s where our wonderful hand-crafted gelato comes in! Made with love, our Unico gelato is the perfect addition to movie night, alone or with friends, especially if you are watching our current favourite, the Love and Gelato movie on Netflix.

Love and Gelato = the perfect combo

Love and Gelato is a delightful film that combines two of our favourite things. Based on the novel of the same name, the Netflix movie Love and Gelato tells the story of Lina who makes a promise to her sick mother that she’ll spend the summer before college in Rome. There she falls in love with the city, the people and, of course, the Italian gelato.

What is Gelato?

Our high-quality gelato is made with the best wholesome ingredients, no preservatives or colouring needed. It has fewer calories than ice cream but because of its slow churn production process, it’s super creamy, creamier in fact than industrial ice cream which contains a lot of air. You can feel good about eating and serving your family our superior gelato.

You can’t be sad while eating gelato

It’s a well-known fact that gelato cheers people up because it is virtually impossible to be stressed out when you are eating its creamy, tasty goodness. So, get ready for downtime in front of the telly, comfy clothes on, makeup off, Love and Gelato on Netflix. Time alone or with friends and family is always better with gelato.

Where to buy the best gelato in London?

At Unico Gelato, of course! We serve the best Italian food, including pastries, coffee and the best gelato in London. Come into our shops and choose your favourite flavours for a family tub or a gelato cake. Or order your dessert delivery online through our website It’s super easy and so convenient.

Saint Valentine @ Unico

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…

   

MENÙ

 
  • Hearth-shaped vanilla shortbreads topped with raspberry jam
  • Hearth-shaped vanilla shortbreads – they will be served next to each coffee
  • Vanilla muffins with vanilla custard topped with a little red hearth – they will be offered at our two Saint Valentine’s events ( more info below )
  • Hearth-shaped dessert – Bavarian custard topped with amarena glaze or chocolate glaze (ideal for 2 people)
  • San Valentine’s gelato flavor – Wild Cherry Gelato topped with Stracciatella and Grounded Hazelnuts

… what do you think? Did we do enough?

Gelato Making Experience

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.
