Badiani’s Italian Festive Menu Pure Italian Indulgence

Badiani, the Florentine gelato brand loved for its authentic Italian craftsmanship, is bringing back its artisanal Pandoro and Panettone. 

Served by the slice in a selection of their shops, the classic Italian cakes pair perfectly with their new limited edition Christmas gelato flavours and a cup of their viral Hot Chocolate. 

The hand wrapped cakes will be available to take home from all 13 of Badiani’s London shops from November and make the perfect gift this Christmas.

New to the menu this year are three new festive gelato flavours. Created by Badiani’s gelato maestro Paolo Pomposi, the Gingerbread, Eggnog and Chocolate Orange are all a nostalgic taste of the Yuletide season. 

Paired with their three returning flavours of Minced Pie, Panettone and Pandoro, which are all made using a traditional Florentine recipe and the finest Italian ingredients.

Available throughout November and December, their Christmas menu celebrates all things festive and Italian and is the perfect place to warm up as the days grow colder and longer.

For over 93 years, Badiani has been known for its dedication to authentic Italian flavour, craftsmanship and creativity. Every recipe celebrates the brand’s Florentine roots and commitment to using the highest quality ingredients.

Founded in Florence in 1932, Badiani has spent over nine decades perfecting the art of gelato. The company’s signature flavour, Buontalenti — made simply with milk, cream, sugar and eggs — honours the Florentine inventor of gelato, Bernardo Buontalenti, and represents Badiani’s belief that simplicity and quality are the keys to perfection.

Badiani now has 13 shops in London, 6 in Spain, 4 in Florence and Tuscany, and opened its first location in Paris, inside the Carrousel du Louvre.

Badiani’s production laboratory operates a zero water waste system, recycling water to power its machines. 

The brand also supports local suppliers wherever possible to reduce transport and environmental impact.
