Our customers tell us that just a single spoonful of Gelati Celesti is indescribably good. Rich, decadent, creamy goodness. Perhaps even teetering on transcendental. A moment of pure joy. What makes our ice cream so heavenly? We pride ourselves on offering an exceptional product with the very best flavor possible. Our ice cream tastes exactly how great ice cream should taste—pure, fresh and natural. Each batch of Gelati Celesti ice cream is made by hand with only the finest ingredients from around the world. Flavors are churned in small batches using special Italian equipment. The micro-batch process allows us to care for and consider each scoop of ice cream that we serve. The hand-crafted process may take longer, but we think it makes our ice cream that much better. And our proprietary process minimizes the air whipped into our product, making it uniquely flavorful, thick and creamy, and flat out special.

A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!
