It’s time to ADD ON

If you’re visiting Rivareno Gelato, the add-ons are where a simple gelato run transforms into a fully customised dessert experience. While the gelato itself follows traditional Italian methods—rich, dense, and full of flavour—it’s these extras that let you elevate each scoop into something more indulgent and memorable. Try a drizzle of gianduia, a spoon of pistachio sauce, a deluxe cone or top off your gelato with amarena cherries.

Gianduia Sauce: A Classic Italian Indulgence

The gianduia sauce is one of the most luxurious additions on offer. Originating from Italy’s Piedmont region, gianduia is a blend of chocolate and hazelnut known for its smooth, balanced flavour. Unlike overly sweet chocolate spreads, it has a deeper, nuttier profile that pairs seamlessly into the gelato.

Drizzled over flavours like fior di latte, stracciatella, or chocolate, it adds a velvety richness that enhances rather than overwhelms. Each bite becomes more layered, with the nutty undertones complementing the creaminess of the gelato.

Pistachio Sauce: Nutty and Refined

For those who appreciate a more subtle, sophisticated flavour, the pistachio sauce is a standout. It delivers a creamy texture with a gently earthy, nutty taste that reflects the Italian love for pistachios.

This sauce pairs beautifully with both classic and adventurous choices. Try it over Fior Di Panna or chocolate for a safe but satisfying combination, it amplifies the flavour without overpowering it.

Deluxe Cone: Texture Meets Flavour

The deluxe cone is more than just a container for your gelato, it’s part of the dessert itself. Typically featuring a chocolate-lined interior and sometimes coated with nuts or other crunchy elements, it adds both texture and flavour to every bite.

Amarena Cherries: A Dessert-Inspired Finish

The amarena cherries bring a more refined, almost nostalgic Italian dessert element to your gelato. This topping offers a balance of sweetness and slight tartness, and is the perfect match for Fior Di Panna, Chocolate sorbet or our special Contessa.

It’s an excellent choice if you want something that feels a bit more elevated—perfect for pairing with creamy or chocolate-based gelato to create a flavour profile reminiscent of classic Italian desserts.

The Final Scoop

Rather than just an afterthought, these add-ons are designed to complement and enhance the gelato itself. Whether you prefer something rich and indulgent or balanced and textural, choosing the right extras can completely change the experience, turning a quick treat into something worth slowing down and savouring.
