How it started
My first real job in high school, was at a place called Runaway Bay. This fantastic store served pizza, burgers, and sandwiches, but the best was their ice cream that came in both soft serve and hard pack. Half of the building was the ice cream side! The restaurant would have massive lines every night, and I loved it!
And then...
Having traveled the world in the music business for over 40 years, my countless tours in Europe almost always went through Italy. Fortunately, when in Italy, there was always the opportunity to visit the local gelato shops.
Eventually it was time for a change that would allow me to stay home but still be involved with something that makes people happy. It hit me immediately!
Now here we are
All those great memories gave birth to the idea of Zio & Sweet Italian Desserts. So in November of 2020, I began this transition. Now here it is, one year later. The grand opening was in November of 2021!
Our gelato, sorbetto, and pastries all come from real old-world recipes of a family from Milan that started in the dessert business over 60 years ago. They make the products that we proudly serve to you. Nobody can make it better.
