“I sold my business of 35 years. Once I retired, I didn’t really know what to do with myself. I was bored so I thought I’ll put up a really nice little Italian cafe that made perfect everything.” Giuliana Maravelle owns Gelato Giuliana in New Haven. When she started Gelato Giuliana, she says she didn’t know she needed her cafe to be a business. She says it was more for fun since the only thing she had problems finding was good gelato.
“I just figured out that if you put good ingredients in gelato, you’re going to have good gelato,” Maravelle said.Gelato Giuliana says they make gelato the way it’s made in a little gelato shop in Italy. They produce as much as they can of it made that way. Maravelle grew up in Italy so she says she knows what it’s supposed to taste like.
