But if you’re looking to try anyway, all the while indulging yourself just a little bit, Gino’s Gelateria is your go-to spot. From creamy and smooth treats with caramel, chocolate, vanilla, and pralines, to fresh and fruity flavors such as strawberry and lemon, your favorite scoop (or two) are just a fingertip away.

Gelato connoisseurs can now savor a range of 50 mouth-watering ice cream flavors at Gino’s Gelateria, which opened its doors in Hamra, Beirut. The authentic Italian gelato experience has been imported to Lebanon, boasting a fresh batch of ice cream on a daily basis. The chain prides itself on offering gelato aficionados freshly prepared ingredients, ranging from traditional to avant garde flavors.

Freshly prepared on the premises every day, satisfying the taste buds of the most discerning gelato aficionados, Gino’s Gelateria offers superior quality ingredients, prepared using a well-guarded secret family recipe. The traditional favorites such as pistachio, strawberry, chocolate and limoncello are intensely rich in flavor and velvety in texture.

The generous portions ensure that at Gino’s Gelateria, guests experience a true ‘La Dolce Vita’ spirit in every sense.

Branded in a traditional Italian theme and setting, Gino’s Gelateria in Beirut is the sixth addition to the chain, being the first store located outside the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The chain first began in the UAE, and soon expanded to include five branches in total, with 3 in Dubai, 1 in Ajman and the other in Abu Dhabi. Spreading the authentic gelato experience to Beirut, Lebanon was the founder’s next destination.

“We are pleased to have opened Gino’s Gelateria in Beirut. The store’s prime location in Hamra, will allow for wide exposure, attracting locals and tourists to savor the full range of fresh flavors,” said Karim Dernaika, Founder of Gino’s Gelateria. “We have plans to expand the gelato experience to other parts of Lebanon, and the Middle East, sharing the traditional Italian experience through ice cream,” he added.
