U’ll Scream Gelato and Sorbet: A Taste of Italy in Transfer, PA

Gelato
Craving something indulgent but a little lighter? Try their Italian-style gelato, a rich and flavorful frozen dessert made with just 5–6% butterfat, compared to the 10–12% butterfat found in traditional ice cream. The result? A creamier texture with less fat and more intense flavor.

Sorbet
For a refreshing dairy-free option, our sorbets are made without cream, milk, or eggs. They’re pure fruit-forward goodness, perfect for vegans, those with dietary restrictions, or anyone looking for a lighter treat.

They’re open April through September and located right in Transfer, PA, just 10 minutes from Hermitage and 7 minutes from Greenville. Whether you’re a local or road-tripping through Western PA, a stop here is a must for any dessert lover.

DELIZIOSO!! Come taste the difference.
