Gelateria Bloom

Modena


Gelataio Gianluca Degani's fierce devotion to chemical- and additive-free gelato has earned him accolades Italy-wide – this is Emilia-Romagna's best gelato. Classic flavours (yellow), sorbets (pink) and wildly creative seasonal choices (purple) are the main events both here and at his main location nearby. This outlet also serves coffee and carries the bulk of his newest project: artisanal chocolate pralines.

Both locations carry different seasonal flavours, so it's worth popping into both before committing!
