Our History
We Deliver with UBER EATS and DOOR DASH
Our History
In 1987, a family moved from Italy to America, carrying with them a secret gelato recipe. By 1999, Ugo opened the first Paciugo store, and it was love at first taste — silky, small-batch gelato served in a setting that felt uniquely Italian. That same recipe and craftsmanship is what we bring to every scoop, cake, and catered event we serve here in St Pete.
