Bristol's award-winning gelateria Swoon is set to open a brand new site in Wapping Wharf in time for the summer season. The family-run business will be the ice cream shop's sixth opening in less than ten years.
The Swoon family has over 120 years of experience in making artisan gelato, founded by Bruno Forte, his mother Louise, sister Pat, and wife Ana Maria. Bruno first started learning the art of gelato making at Bologna's Gelato University in 2014.
Swoon first launched at College Green in 2016 and quickly became known for its traditional Italian ingredients as well as for creating its own flavours. It has since expanded to Bath, Cardiff, Oxford and Selfridges in London, with Wapping Wharf next on the horizon.
