Mark & Debbie purchased Paciugo St Pete in August 2017, 11 years after it first opened on Beach Drive.  Both are natives of St Pete and love this area. We are excited to be part of the downtown explosion and look forward to serving you outstanding gelato and coffee. Shrimp, Mark's service dog welcomes you too.

In 1987 a family moved from Italy to America, then in 1999 armed with a secret family gelato recipe Ugo opened the first Paciugo store. It was love at first taste. America could not get enough of the silky smooth, irresistibly delicious gelato served in an environment that felt uniquely Italian.

Paciugo is located in downtown St Petersburg along beautiful Beach Drive, the hub of activity and fine dining.  We are just across the street from the huge banyan tree.  Relax on our patio, under our striped umbrellas and watch people,  appreciate our captivating scenery, enjoy your gelato or sip on a specialty coffee.  Let Paciugo be your destination in the Sunshine City.  You may find Shrimp, the service dog perched in the corner or on the sidewalk. (Always ask before petting) We can also cater your next special event, wedding, party, etc.
