about us
our story
We’re a family-run team inspired by authentic flavours, craftsmanship, and community. At our core, we believe quality matters. Too long has the high street been filled with low-quality products marketed as the best. We want better for all of us—especially for our children. That’s why everything we make is crafted with honesty and care: our shakes are made from real fruit, our coffee is 100% Arabica, our tiramisu is made with fresh mascarpone and eggs, our savoury croissants are filled with high-quality prosciutto and mozzarella, and our pistachio gelato is made with 100% real pistachio—so you never have to wonder what the other 20–30% might be. We focus on small batches, fresh daily, and healthier-quality ingredients rather than mass-produced shortcuts. For us, great taste is about more than food—it’s about integrity, connection, and doing things the right way. We aim to create a space where people can come together, enjoy delicious, wholesome treats, and feel truly at home.
Inspired by Italy
The Origins
Our story began with a love for Italy’s finest flavours and our own patisserie heritage. Leaving behind careers in corporate law, we followed our passion for authentic Italian gelato and brought that dream to Amersham. What started as a gelato venture has grown into a welcoming café and bar—perfect for your morning coffee, a friendly catch-up, or a quiet moment with free Wi-Fi and a cozy atmosphere. Alongside our signature gelato, we offer fresh pastries, unique desserts, and locally inspired treats, all crafted with the finest ingredients. As the day turns to evening, our bar serves expertly made cocktails and refreshing drinks—always with gelato at the heart of it all. We’re here to share a taste of Italy and create a space for connection, comfort, and joy.

Made with Passion
The Craftsmanship
Gelato is at the heart of our business—that’s where our story began. However, our commitment to quality extends far beyond gelato. We craft our gelato fresh daily in small batches, using time-honoured techniques and only the finest ingredients. For products we don’t make ourselves—like certain pastries or specialty items—we carefully select trusted local partners who uphold the same standards. Every item is homemade or crafted with the same care, authenticity, and strict quality control that defines Ciao Gelato. Every scoop, slice, and sip reflects our dedication to craftsmanship, ensuring your experience is always fresh, honest, and of the highest quality.
