ristorazione — Castelplanio · Marche
In the hills of the Esino, between Jesi and the Adriatic coast, Castelplanio is home to one of the most cherished artisan gelaterias in the province of Ancona. The Gelateria Artigianale Giusti is an address known by word of mouth and remembered long after — a stop worth the journey into the inland Marche.
Behind the Gelateria Artigianale Giusti is Giancamillo Giusti, a family-run business recognisable in the welcome and in the care with which the door is opened every day. This is not a large industrial workshop: it is a place where the staff know every flavour by name, and where — as customers report — the team is knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely present from the very first moment.
The display case already tells much of the story: vegan flavours, dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free options. This is not a concession to the market but a matter of method — every recipe is designed so that no one has to go without. The breadth of the offering is documented in reviews, which describe an unexpected variety for a village gelateria, with a range covering very different dietary needs.
In the workshop, the character of the house takes shape: Nero di Modica — Sicilian-origin chocolate worked cold — and dulce de leche are flavours that call for selected ingredients and precise technique. Alongside the classics of tradition, these creations point to an artisan approach that is not content with the more obvious repertoire and demands study and mastery.
From gelato made with mulberries — available only during the fruit's brief ripening season — to custom gelato cakes made to order: the page tells every detail of this house.
