What is Spaghetti Gelato?

Spaghetti gelato, also known as Spaghetti Ice Cream or Spaghettieis, is a playful and delicious dessert that looks like a plate of spaghetti but is actually made of creamy gelato. This unique treat was invented in Germany in the 1960s by Dario Fontanella, a gelato maker in Mannheim. He crafted it by pushing vanilla gelato through a potato ricer to create long, thin strands resembling pasta, then topped it with strawberry sauce as a stand-in for marinara and white chocolate shavings to mimic parmesan cheese. The result? A dessert that delights both the eyes and the taste buds, quickly becoming a beloved specialty in German gelaterias.

Now, Spagato is bringing this whimsical European dessert to Florida, giving locals and visitors the chance to experience the magic of Spaghetti Gelato.
