There’s a New Gelato Place in Bristol

An authentic gelato place has opened in Bristol…and it’s great!

Swoon is situated right opposite the cathedral, not only does Swoon boast incredible views, but mouth-watering gelato too.

All the gelato is freshly made in the shop and you can even watch the chefs at work.

With flavours such as salted caramel, apple pie and pistachio, there’s certain to be something you like. They do dairy free sorbetti and gelato cake too!

With more than 120 years of gelato experience in the family, Swoon is a family run business, owned by Bruno and his sister Pat.

Bruno, along with head gelato chef Luisa, attended Carpigiani Gelato University, near Bologna in Italy. Who knew that was a thing?!

They started work on Swoon a year ago and finally opened the doors this week.

Gelato is served at a higher temperature than ice cream, meaning it’s lower fat and the ingredients are fresher – as if you needed another excuse.

After opening this week you can now pop into Swoon and though it might seem mad to be tucking into ice cream in February, once you get a spoon in you’ll never look back!
