Iorio's Gelateria

Specialties Gelato is an Italian frozen dessert made with milk, sugar, & real ingredients like nuts, chocolate, & fruit. Though it resembles ice cream, gelato has LESS fat & MORE flavor than ice cream. Our dairy free gelatos are made with fruit, water, & sugar for a smooth, creamy, & healthy treat! History Established in 2004. What started as a pushcart business selling italian ice at local events has turned into full retail location in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Mary, a sophomore in High School at the time, decided after many a summer trip to the east coast, that italian ice needed to be brought to the midwest. This pushcart business evolved into a season market location, and eventually a year round stand with gelato and italian ice. Upon Mary's graduation from U of M in 2010, she knew Ann Arbor could use some sweetness. She brought her younger brother Nick on board (U of M '13) and together they brought this dream to reality in July 2011.
