History

Established in 2013.

A.B. Biagi brings the craft of traditional Italian gelato making with a taste of Brazil to the heart of Nolita. Antonio Barros Biagi, owner of the eponymous shop, first fell in love with gelato while growing up with his Italian family in the Brazilian countryside. Italian immigrants adapted their gelato recipes to Brazil’s tropical weather, using local fruits and naturally lower fat milk to create lighter frozen desserts that could stand up to the heat. Biagi’s aunt Giuliana’s gelato was a perfect example of this method; a smooth, delicious treat that inspired him to develop the perfect recipe. In the last seven years, he trained alongside master gelato producers (gelatieri) throughout Italy and France and sought only the best ingredients to achieve the luscious texture of gelato.

Designed to evoke the warmth and comfort of a home kitchen, the space is a homage to Biagi’s life in Sao Paolo. A yellow façade, reminiscent of Brazil’s national colors, and crisp white tile walls greet gues
