Our Gelato & Italian Pastries

At Gelateria Girotti Zurich, our gelato is crafted using traditional Italian methods, natural ingredients, and small-batch production to ensure freshness, balance, and exceptional quality in every scoop.

To complement our flavors, we offer a curated selection of traditional Italian pastries, from classics like tiramisu, baba al rum, and cannoli to regional specialties such as cassata and sfogliatella, celebrating Italy’s rich dessert heritage.

All our pastries are handcrafted in collaboration with the Girotti team in Italy, ensuring the same authenticity, craftsmanship, and passion that define our gelato, for a complete Italian dessert experience in Zurich.

A history… like in the movies

The story of Gelateria Girotti begins like a classic Italian film. Born in Venice to a German mother and an Italian father, Mario Girotti, known worldwide as Terence Hill, became one of Italy’s most beloved actors through decades of cinematic success.

Long before fame, however, there was a family tradition. In the town of Amelia, Umbria, his grand-uncle ran an artisanal gelateria known for its homemade recipes and authentic flavors. When the shop closed, a piece of family heritage seemed lost.

In 2015, during a visit to Amelia with his grandson, Terence Hill rediscovered the site of the original gelateria and decided to bring it back to life. In 2017, Antica Gelateria Girotti reopened its doors. Today, this tradition continues in Zurich, blending Italian history, craftsmanship, and passion for great gelato.
