Luxury Italian gelato brand Amorino is opening its first Scottish store in Edinburgh, bringing its famous flower-shaped gelato to the capital.
The international brand will open at 27 North Bridge in Edinburgh’s Old Town on Friday, July 17, marking its debut in Scotland.
The Edinburgh store becomes Amorino's 360th location worldwide and its 45th UK site since launching in Britain in 2009.
Known for hand-crafted gelato shaped into rose-like cones, Amorino is expected to attract significant interest as it enters the Scottish market for the first time.
The new shop will serve the brand's full menu, including popular flavours such as tiramisú, cremino, stracciatella and amarena, alongside a rotating selection of seasonal flavours.
Customers will also be able to choose multiple flavours in a single cone, with vegan, fruit sorbet and gluten-free options available.
The Edinburgh branch will open at 12pm on Friday before moving to daily opening hours from 11am until midnight Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The launch forms part of the expanding portfolio of Vittoria Hospitality Group, which owns several well-known Edinburgh restaurants, including Vittoria on the Bridge, Vittoria on the Walk, Divino Enoteca, Taste of Italy, Bertie's Proper Fish & Chips and Landy's.
Founded in Italy in 2002 by childhood friends Cristiano Sereni and Paolo Benassi, Amorino now operates in more than 350 locations worldwide while continuing to use traditional Italian production methods and artisan ingredients.
The Crolla family, who run Vittoria Hospitality Group, have been serving Italian food in Edinburgh since 1970.
