ristorazione — Marl Sinsen · Nordrhein-Westfalen
In the district of Sinsen, in Marl, an Italian name marks the way: Via Roma. Here, artisan gelato carries the memory of a tradition that Mario Tagliamento has known since childhood, having grown up among his family's gelaterias in the heart of the Ruhrgebiet.
The door of Via Roma opens every day — except Mondays — from eleven in the morning. The name chosen for this gelateria is no affectation: it is a declaration of belonging to a gelato culture that Italy has exported around the world, and which here, in the district of Sinsen, finds a precise and recognisable home.
Behind the counter, Mario Tagliamento — thirty-five years old, the youngest generation of gelato makers in Marl — has taken up the mantle of a business the city knows well. The gelato is artisan-made, and among the offerings the Cherry-Mania stands out, the specialty customers ask for by name and which the gelateria's social media profile carries as its signature.
The workshop of Via Roma also produces beyond the expected. The Klara-Becher is a special gelato whose proceeds support the Klara hospice: a concrete gesture that ties the gelateria to Marl's social fabric. And for those arriving with a dog on a leash, there is something thought out for them too.
A gelateria that knows where its roots lie and where it is heading. The page tells the whole story: flavours, hours and the story of Mario Tagliamento.
