Gelateria Chiccheria
About
Chiccheria Gelateria, situated on Via Piave 14/a in Marina di Grosseto, transcends the role of a simple dessert shop to become a living homage to traditional Italian gelato craftsmanship. Founded in 1976 by Luciano and Annamaria Presenti and later expanded by their son Manuele, the gelateria has maintained its family‑run character while embracing modern sustainability practices. The core of Chiccheria’s appeal lies in its unwavering commitment to natural ingredients. Every scoop is made with locally sourced fruit, regional nuts, and organic dairy, free from hydrogenated fats, artificial additives, or synthetic colors. Seasonal ingredients are chosen at peak ripeness, ensuring that visitors taste the freshest flavours Italy has to offer. Beyond the gelato bar, Chiccheria hosts the renowned “Scuola Gelato Naturale,” offering beginner through advanced courses that teach the art of creating genuine, wholesome gelato. The courses are led by master gelatier Manuele Presenti, who blends traditional stone‑ground methods with modern techniques. Chiccheria caters to all kinds of diners: families looking for a sweet treat, foodies eager to taste handcrafted gelato, health‑conscious patrons seeking low‑fat options, vegans and vegetarians thanks to fruit‑based flavours, and gluten‑free guests with specially prepared recipes. The gelateria’s warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it a must‑visit destination for both locals and tourists exploring Tuscany.
