A beloved artisan gelateria on the Civitanova Marche seafront, scooping seasonal flavours made with local ingredients along the central Marche coast.
Gelateria Brunelli is a much-loved artisan gelateria in Civitanova Marche, the lively resort and shopping town on the central Marche coast. The shop makes its gelato in-house in the artisan tradition, churning seasonal flavours from quality ingredients and rotating the offer with the calendar, from fresh fruit sorbets in summer to richer cream-based gelati through the year. Classic Italian flavours sit alongside seasonal specials, and the fruit sorbets in particular highlight produce at its peak. The format is simple and welcoming, ideal for a cone or cup while strolling the seafront or the town's well-known shopping streets, and prices are firmly in the budget range that gelato should be. An affogato, espresso poured over a scoop of gelato, makes a popular afternoon pick-me-up. Civitanova Marche sits on the main Adriatic railway line and the gelateria is central and walkable from the station and seafront. As a casual walk-in spot, it needs no reservation, though queues build on warm summer evenings when the passeggiata is in full swing. Independent travellers can simply join the line and choose from the day's flavours.
