The place
Gelateria 281 Frontelago looks out over Piazza Bossi in Porto Ceresio, on the Varese lakefront, serving Italian artisan gelato made with quality ingredients. Bartolo and Paola have built a reference point for those seeking traditional flavours such as French vanilla and extra-dark chocolate, alongside inventive proposals like the mandarin-ginger granita. The entire production is gluten-free, with cones and crumble made from rice flour, and numerous vegan flavours are also available.
