One of the world’s best sweet shops is now serving up the good stuff in St. Pete’s EDGE District, with Amorino Gelato officially open at 1246 Central Avenue.

With locations in more than 15 different countries, Amorino is loved across the globe for its premium, high-quality ingredients and signature flower-shaped gelato cones. Their new St. Pete boutique features an array of handcrafted gelato flavors made without artificial colors or preservatives, along with an extensive selection of sorbets, waffles, crêpes, hand-filled macarons al gelato, and gourmet beverages, including 10 types of thick hot chocolate.
Amorino offers a true taste of Italian indulgence with its authentic gelato and a full Italian espresso bar featuring Lavazza Coffee. Rounding out the European vibes, Belgian Waffles and French-style crepes are new offerings for the sweets boutique that ownership expressed excitement at debuting. Amorino is open from 12-10 pm on weekdays and 12-11 pm on weekends.
Amorino uses preservative-free, internationally-sourced ingredients
Much of what makes Amorino stand out is the dedication to using carefully sourced ingredients, all of which are free of preservatives, artificial flavors and flavor enhancers. It’s dessert you can feel good about eating. Plus, the flavors and macarons are all gluten-free, while they also have numerous vegan sorbet options.
Of course, the big fun is the gelato itself, and it’s here that Amorino’s quality and creative qualities really shine through. Showcasing globally-sourced ingredients (such as Madagascar vanilla, Mexican coffee, Sri Lankan coconut and much more) the flavors and varieties at Amorino are endlessly delightful. One of the top sellers is the “Inimitable” gelato, made with chocolate gelato and Piedmont hazelnuts. The Alphonso Mango Sorbet (sourced from India) is a star on the sorbet list.
