PICCOLINA GELATERIA TO OPEN ITS THIRD STORE ON ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA
Bayside gelato lovers will be excited to hear that Piccolina Gelateria is opening their 3 rd store – this one located in Acland Street St Kilda, the heart of Melbourne’s summer playground. Piccolina owner and gelato guru, Sandra Foti, says “The lead up to summer is the perfect time to throw open the doors of another beautifully designed Piccolina store! St Kilda is one of Melbourne’s most popular beaches and so it just made perfect sense for us to open there! We love Acland Street for its village feel and it’s always buzzing with positive energy” No two Piccolina stores can ever be the same. Our new store responds to the street scape and the beachside vibe of Acland street with the facade opening up completely to the street where customers can stand at the bar and bask in the sun while enjoying a sweet treat. Once again, we’ve worked with the award-winning team at Hecker Guthrie to deisgn the new space. Like our other stores, it echoes 1950s Southern Italy – from the colourways through to the theatre of gelato and the fun packaging, designed by Projects of Imagination.
This store will feature a beautiful servery bench clad in square-cut Italian tiles where deep “pozzetti” hold 20 of our famous gelato flavours & 4 granita flavours. All our gelato is made fresh daily instore from 100% natural ingredients like fresh fruit and freshly roasted nuts. That’s why it tastes so good!! And Nutella lovers rejoice!! A liquid chocolate fountain with Piccolina’s own home-made
nutella sauce will be on tap and running 24/7!!
