Gelissimo Gelateria

We just love gelato & sorbetto!

Welcome to Gelissimo Gelato, the home of handmade premium gelato. Our Gelateria produces wonderful and creative flavours every day using some of the best ingredients this country has to offer.

In August 2010 the business was purchased by me, Graham Joe, a true Wellingtonian (& Hutt) by birth, and a passionate foodie. Driven by a desire to create gelato using the fantastic produce our country has to offer, I set about rebuilding Gelissimo’s vision, philosophy and approach.

In 2011 NZ Ice Cream Awards Gelissimo won 2 Gold Medals, and 1 Silver Medal in their first ever event. Since then Gelissimo has become one of the most awarded gelateria´s in the country.

At our Gelateria on Wellington’s Waterfront, the small team share their passion for gelato with all. Every visitor, big or small, retail or wholesale is welcomed to the Gelissimo family.

We produce and sell our own gelato on a commercial and consumer level. We offer over 200 flavours, rotated on a seasonal basis in our stores. Our small, handmade batches of gelato allow us to produce low-volume, boutique gelato & sorbet tailored for small businesses, events, restaurants and cafes.
