Our story
The gelato master behind Samuele’s
The story of Samuele Angolani, from an uncle’s gelateria in Italy to kitchens across Dubai.
2008 · Italy
It started at sixteen
Samuele started making gelato at 16, working in his uncle’s gelateria back in Italy. Very quickly, he fell in love with it.
North to south
A tour of Italy’s gelaterie
Over the years he travelled Italy from north to south. He visited gelaterie, learned regional flavours and saw how small changes in ingredients change the whole experience.
Business Bay
A tiny shop in Dubai
He opened his own gelateria in a back-alley shop in Business Bay. He made the gelato early in the morning and scooped, packed and served it himself until midnight. Nine months of long days. It worked.
Today
Kitchens across Dubai
That small shop has become kitchens in Business Bay, Motor City and Al Mizhar. Together they deliver more than 400 litres of gelato a week all over Dubai, rated 4.8 on average across more than 3,400 reviews.
Why we made a keto gelato
The keto line started from curiosity and a bit of pride: the keto ice creams Samuele tried were just average. After two years of trial and error, he made one with about 92% less sugar that still tastes like real gelato.
