Funaris Italian Creamery

When I was a little boy, my Italian grandfather used to treat me to luscious homemade gelato. Later in life, as big ice cream fans, my wife Dawn and I knew that gelato’s smooth texture, rich consistency, and delicious flavor could only be found in this old world delicacy.

After we found the secret family recipes for the family's delicious gelato hidden away in an old trunk, brought over years ago from Italy, we started making small batches for friends and family.

The demand grew and grew, until we finally decided to open our own store to sell the delicious and freshly made gelato! And that's how Funari's Italian Creamery® got started.

Now, after years of testing and tasting and learning all we could about gelato, and opening more stores, we are ready to bring our treasure to even more taste buds through our franchise program. It's a deliciously fun concept -- so join us!
