La Casa dei Piccoli

In ENGLISH and ITALIAN

Join us at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò for a hands-on gelato lab in collaboration with Allora BK, as Part of La Casa dei Piccoli series. With summer approaching and the weather being so nice and warm, families are invited to come together and celebrate the world-renowned tradition of Italian gelato. Known for its rich flavors and creamy texture, gelato is one of Italy’s most beloved culinary treasures, enjoyed around the globe. Children will get hands-on making their own strawberry swirled gelato using simple, wholesome ingredients like condensed milk, fresh cream, and ripe strawberries. As they whip, mix, and assemble their creations, families will share a meaningful bonding experience—connecting through food, creativity, and tradition. Afterward, we’ll gather in the garden to enjoy a taste of this delicious treat, and each child will take home their homemade gelato to continue the celebration.

Please RSVP by age group:
Group A 3:00-3:45: 6-7 year olds
Group B 4:00-4:45: 3-5 year olds and their caregivers
Group C 5:00-5:45: 8-12 year olds
