Since the early 2000s, gelato has exploded in popularity in the Lower Mainland. Yaletown fans of Italy's ultimate cold and creamy treat can get their fix at Bella Gelateria, one of Vancouver’s hottest spot for that authentic taste of Florence.
“Vancouver is home to more gelato and ice cream shops than anywhere else in North America,” says James Coleridge, CEO and maestro gelatiere at Bella Gelateria. “Armed with my education and making gelato from scratch, which very few do, I feel like I am protecting the Old World process that Italy has bestowed upon us.”
Overlooking the waters of False Creek, Bella Gelateria offers an ideal spot for an 80-seat restaurant and patio, which are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition to gelato, the extensive menu features Napoletana-style pizzas baked in an authentic stone oven James had shipped from Naples. It's also home to Carpigiani Gelato University’s first North American branch, where James trains gelato interns from all over the world.
