Riverfront Beauty

Located on the Cape Fear River in gorgeous Wilmington, North Carolina in the 100-year-old JW Brooks Warehouse Building, our gelateria is the perfect spot to grab some delicious gelato or a coffee and stroll along the river walk to window shop or taking in a beautiful NC sunset.

The minute you walk in the shop, you are transported to Europe with our adorable red Fiat booth and 3 Piaggo scooter stools. Try one of over 40 authentic Italian flavors, made with fresh Alpine spring water and milk from our very own herd of cows in Turin, Italy.
