Florence, then Disney Springs, now Winter Garden
Vivoli Il Gelato was founded in Florence, Italy, in 1930 and still works from recipes passed down through generations. Orlando has known it from its Disney Springs counter, and its new shop at Flamingo Crossings Town Center in Winter Garden is now open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
What’s in the case
The Winter Garden menu lists gelato flavors including pistachio, cannoli, tiramisu, Biscoff, salted caramel, and a fall pumpkin, plus sorbetto flavors like lemon, raspberry, strawberry, and POG (passionfruit, orange, and guava). The lineup changes with the seasons.
Go beyond a cone
Affogato gets its own section of the menu. The original pours a shot of espresso over crema gelato, and there are pistachio, tiramisu, and pumpkin spice versions too. The Bombolato tucks gelato into a warm Italian donut, the Pink Flamingo shake blends vanilla gelato with strawberry sauce and sprinkles, and the olive oil and sea salt coppa dresses lemon sorbetto with olive oil, sea salt, pine nuts, and pepper. Espresso drinks, cannoli, bomboloni, and panini round out the board.
Make a night of Flamingo Crossings
Vivoli shares the town center with Flatlands Bar & Grill, so dinner and dessert can happen without moving the car.
Why We’re Hyped
A 96-year-old Florentine gelato name now has a west Orange County counter that stays open until 10 every night, which makes it an easy after-dinner or after-practice stop.
