ristorazione — Chiavari · Liguria
On Corso Dante in Chiavari, just steps from the sea of the Tigullio, Antica Gelateria Verdi is an address the city has known since 1968. Nearly sixty years of artisanal production in a place that time has turned into a landmark of the historic centre.
The entrance at Corso Dante 74 belongs to a place that has never needed to reinvent itself: since 1968 Antica Gelateria Verdi has occupied the same corner of Chiavari's historic centre, recognisable to those arriving from the seafront and to those walking the corso on market days. A presence the city has made its own over time.
At the counter you can measure the care that sets this gelateria apart: production is artisanal, with a selection of ingredients that favours quality over quantity. The offering pairs classic flavours with original creations hard to find elsewhere — flavours never seen in other gelaterie, as regular customers report — and the entire range is available gluten-free, with some sugar-free variants.
From the kitchen come the specialities that have built the place's reputation: the coppe paciugo (sundae-style gelato cups), the torte gelato (gelato cakes) composed with imagination, the Sicilian granite. It is in this workspace that the research into ingredients translates into a gelato with a distinctive creaminess, true to an artisanal tradition that Chiavari has come to expect.
