Swoon Gelato has won the hearts (and bellies) of ice-cream lovers of southern England with its award-winning gelato at popular stores in Bristol, Bath, Oxford and London. And after previously announcing it was opening its first Welsh location in Cardiff, it's now revealed the shop will open in Duke Street Arcade on Saturday, February 11.
The parlour will offer not only beautifully crafted gelato made with natural ingredients from traditional methods and in an abundance of flavours but speciality desserts and Italian coffee too.
Founded by Bruno Forte in 2016, Swoon is a family affair that is run by Bruno himself - the latest generation in a long line of ice-cream makers (going back 120 years) - his wife Ana Maria, sister Patricia and mother Louise. Speaking previously about this, Bruno said: "My Italian family introduced handmade gelato to the UK over a hundred years ago and Swoon is very much a family business with my wife, mother and sister all involved. That family history and love of gelato drives what we do - it’s why we focus so much on provenance and using only best and purest ingredients in the flavours we craft."
