Founded in 2002 by Paolo Benassi and Cristiano Sereni, Amorino has grown to more than 300 locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The St. Pete shop marks the company’s first brick-and-mortar location in Florida, following a kiosk at Tampa’s International Plaza that opened in 2022.

The 1,800-square-foot space is designed to reflect a European-style café, with a bright interior and both indoor and outdoor seating.

The shop is best known for its signature presentation, where gelato is layered into the shape of a rose.

Customers can choose from a range of flavors including hazelnut, pistachio, vanilla, tiramisu, coffee, salted butter caramel, and coconut.
