Paciugo Gelato Caffè Voted Tops in Category for the 4th Straight Year in Annual Guide to the Best in Dallas
Being downright picky is paying off for Paciugo, again.
The Dallas-based specialty brand completely obsesses over the ingredients in its gelato and as a result, readers of D Magazine recently made a pick of their own, a familiar one, selecting Paciugo Gelato Caffè as the Readers’ Choice for Best Ice Cream/Gelato in Dallas in the publication’s 12th annual Guide to the Best in Dallas. It is the fourth consecutive annual honor for the Italy-inspired Paciugo Gelato Caffè.
“There is only one way to bring the world’s best flavors to our customers,” said Diego Comparin, Paciugo Vice President of Research and Development, “and that is to scour the globe in search of the finest ingredients so we can create the best possible flavors and flavor combinations. We create every recipe in our artisan kitchen in Dallas, hold them all to our exceptionally high product standards and always, always add a touch of what we refer to in Italy as ‘Amore.’ We are so honored to have a top place in the hearts, mouths and minds of our loyal fans. Thank you, Dallas.”
“Our innovative approach to making unique, fresh flavors is what makes Paciugo so special,” said Paciugo President, Vincent Ginatta, who founded Paciugo in Dallas with his family in 2000, bringing Italian ingredients and techniques from their native Italy to duplicate the fourth-generation recipes from their respective home cities of Turin and Milan. “We are thrilled with the recognition and thank the readers of D Magazine for naming us best of the best again. Paciugo was born in Dallas, and we are always grateful that we have been so well received.”
