GelatoLove has a New Location in East Village San Diego!
We are delighted to announce a second GelatoLove Location placed inside legendary RoVino The Foodery in East Village San Diego.
San Diegans in and around the East Village are now able to experience for themselves 18 Homemade GelatoLove Flavors, cakes and desserts, plus a full Italian coffee bar featuring Barini Coffee’s debut in the US.
Since its opening in 2015 in Carlsbad Village, it has been GelatoLove’s intention to bring from Rome to California the authentic art of homemade gelato making. GelatoLove is the first company in the world that uses a revolutionary low calorie sugar, found in fruits like kiwis and figs. The name of this amazing product is Allulose and it is a completely plant based product. Allulose is scientifically proven to improve sugar metabolism in your body. Our Special Artisan Gelato contains on average 80% less sugar than regular ice cream. One small cup of our handmade gelato (4 oz) contains less than 5 grams of added sugar. GelatoLove offerings are designed with the clear intent to make people feel better from the moment they walk in.
GelatoLove at Rovino The Foodery, East Village San Diego.
Rovino The Foodery was born as a natural progression, from the 5 star Little Italy restaurant RoVino, to become San Diego’s largest Italian market in 2019. The East Village Location offers ready made Italian meals and groceries, together with sandwiches, pasta, pizza, salads, coffee, gelato and desserts. They soon will be adding a full liquor department. Since the opening of the first restaurant in 2016, RoVino was awarded “Best New Restaurant” in 2017 by San Diego Magazine. In 2018 and 2019, both San Diego Magazine and Ranch & Coast Magazine voted RoVino as "Best Italian Restaurant” as well as “Best Wine Bar”. Rovino The Foodery in 2020 won San Diego Magazine’s prize for “Best Sandwich” and “Best Service”, in addition to “Best Desserts” from Ranch & Coast Magazine.
“I am excited to share with Paola and GelatoLove the Italian vision of beauty, excellence, impeccable service and exquisite foods”, says Tom Tarantino, co-founder of Rovino. “Together I hope we’ll be able to share our Italian heritage and culture with even more people, and in new and exciting ways.”
“We are absolutely thrilled to partner up with Rovino The Foodery. We share the same passion of offering the community a place to share joy and good times, just like in Italy”, says owner of GelatoLove Paola Richard. “That is crucial to me, along with having a downtown location”.
In addition to gelato, guests can also indulge in coffees from Barini, an Italian roaster for 50 years which will be debuting their coffees at The Foodery, their first U.S. retail location.

ABOUT BARINI COFFEE
Barini Coffee’s History started in 1970 in the same Italian City of Romeo and Juliet: Verona. It’s here that Giorgio Barini convinced his brothers Vito, Luigino and Leda to select and blend superior coffee beans to eventually open up one of the most renowned Artisan Coffee Roastery in Italy. Exactly Fifty years ago, in July 1971, Barini Tasting Room was born to offer the Italian clientele a legendary House Specialty Blend made from beans selected directly from coffee growers in Brazil and all over the world. The tasting room was then integrated into of the historical Barini Pastry and Coffee House in Verona, just one step away from the Arena, the famous Roman Theater where Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli performed.
The Barini brand was since then recognized for the particular high quality and care in selecting and roasting the best quality of coffee beans in the world. Davide and Stefano Barini have opened in 2020 their headquarters in Los Angeles, where they are still researching and deepening their knowledge in supreme quality coffee.
Barini Coffee will be offered for the first time in the United States at Rovino the Foodery on July 30th 2021. The partnership with GelatoLove and the Espresso Bar inaugurations in the San Diego East Village marks the first United States and California experience.
What is Allulose?
´ Allulose is a natural, non-GMO, low-calorie rare sugar. Allulose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, and is found naturally in fruits such as raisins, figs, kiwis and jackfruit.
´ Unlike other natural and synthetic sweeteners in the marketplace, Allulose tastes and functions like sugar yet contains almost zero calories while suppressing glycemic response. With less than 10% of the calories of sucrose, Allulose provides a clean, satisfying sweetness to gelato.
´ Allulose is recognized by the body as a simple sugar and is absorbed accordingly; however, clinical studies confirm that it is not metabolized and has optimal impact on blood glucose levels.
