Silvia Duranti Gelato e Innovazione 

Artisanal ice cream parlour in Chiavari

Silvia Duranti Gelato e Innovazione is an artisanal ice cream parlour in Chiavari where tradition, quality and experimentation come together.

Founded by Silvia Duranti, the ice cream parlour was born from the experience gained in Moneglia, where she opened her first ice cream parlour in 2016 under the name “Qualcosa di Buono” (Something Good), designed to convey the message that extraordinary ice cream can be created using simple, seasonal ingredients.

After nine years of study and experimentation, during which she became an artisan ice cream maker, in December 2024 Silvia moved her business to Chiavari, renaming it Silvia Duranti Gelato e Innovazione, putting her name to it and continuing her philosophy: to produce high-quality, innovative artisan ice cream and desserts that respect tradition.

Artisanal, Natural and Low-Sugar Ice Creams

All of Silvia’s ice creams are 100% artisanal, made with seasonal fruit and no preservatives. The focus on health translates into flavours with little added sugar and a low glycaemic index.

Many of the flavours on offer are vegan, prepared with a water base, such as Pistachio and Almond.

Tutti i gelati di Silvia sono artigianali al 100%, realizzati con frutta di stagione e senza conservanti. L’attenzione alla salute si traduce in gusti con poco zucchero aggiunto e con un indice glicemico basso.

Among the most popular flavours:

• Nocciola Misto Chiavari: made with local hazelnuts, a true symbol of the region;

• Zabaione al Marsala: reminiscent of “grandma’s zabaglione”, so beloved that it has been transformed into a cream available in jars, made with just three ingredients (Marsala, egg yolk and sugar);

• 100% single-origin cocoa mass: pure cocoa mass from various plantations (Peru, Madagascar, Venezuela, Sierra Leone), prepared with a water base, never bitter, with different aromas and scents depending on the plantation of origin.

Gluten-free desserts and specialities

Silvia’s craftsmanship extends beyond ice cream: biscuits, cones, semifreddi, cakes, single portions and spreads are all gluten-free.

Gluten-free specialities include:

• Artisanal biscuits such as Canestrelli and Baci di Dama;

• Vegan hazelnut and pistachio spreads.

Gluten-containing baked goods are produced in a separate laboratory to avoid contamination:

• Babà in cooking jars;
• Panettoni and Colombe (made to order – in season), with sourdough and candied fruit produced artisanally by Silvia.

Each product reflects Silvia’s philosophy: combining all-round craftsmanship, selected ingredients and respect for tradition, with a touch of innovation and creativity.

Silvia Duranti Gelato e Innovazione in Chiavari is now a reference point for those looking for authentic and innovative artisan ice cream and desserts.
