Gelati Cortese: the true art of artisan gelato in Riccione

In Riccione, a seaside town full of sunshine and evening strolls, every holiday needs a sweet touch. That sweet touch has a name: Gelati Cortese, one of the most beloved artisan gelato shops on the Adriatic coast. Here, gelato isn’t just a dessert – it’s a genuine experience made with passion, excellent ingredients, and true Italian spirit.

A laboratory of flavor

Gelati Cortese is more than just a gelato shop – it’s an artisan laboratory where each flavor is crafted from exclusive recipes. Creams are soft and rich, sorbets are refreshing and made with real fruit, and seasonal ingredients inspire ever-changing creations.

Favorites include: Bronte pistachio, 72% dark chocolate, Cortese cream, Sicilian almond, organic lemon, Indian Alfonso mango, and Greek yogurt with honey. Lactose-free, vegan, and gluten-free options are also available.

Selected, natural ingredients

The secret at Gelati Cortese lies in quality. No artificial flavorings or colorings – only fresh, natural ingredients: local fresh milk, seasonal fruit, natural sugars, and premium cocoa. Everything is prepared daily to ensure a creamy, full-flavored gelato.

Not just gelato

Beyond gelato, Cortese also offers Italian-style granita, frappés, gelato cakes, and handmade gelato popsicles – perfect for a refreshing afternoon break or a light dessert after dinner.

Welcoming atmosphere

Located in a quiet yet central area, the gelateria features a contemporary and minimalist design, with a focus on cleanliness and sustainability. The staff are friendly, fast, and always smiling – truly "Cortese" in name and nature.

A must-visit on your Riccione holiday

If you're visiting Riccione, Gelati Cortese is a must-try, especially on warm summer evenings. After dinner or a walk along the promenade, treat yourself to a cone or cup. This gelato tells the story of the Riviera – simple, authentic, and delicious.
