"Their shops are known for making gelato in house daily, using organic Sonoma County milk, Belgian and Italian chocolate, pistachios from Sicily, hazelnuts from Piedmont, Italy, and locally sourced ingredients. For example, the new Arancia Rossa flavor, or blood orange, is made with fruit grown at JJ's Lone Daughter Ranch in Redlands, San Bernardino County. Fresh flavors, including vegan sorbet, rotate in every month."
"The San Jose shop is only the second in Northern California. The first opened in 2025 at Palo Alto's Stanford Shopping Center. Bacio di Latte, or "kiss of milk," was launched in Brazil by two Italian brothers who discovered that the populous country had a serious gelato void. Since 2011, Edoardo and Luigi Tonolli have opened about 100 shops there and a dozen in the Los Angeles area."
"A popular choice is the Ciocchino, a sugar cone or waffle cone coated inside with Nutella or pistachio cream, then loaded up with gelato and the rim rolled in crushed nuts. To celebrate the Santana Row opening, that shop will give out free cones or cups from 1 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, as part of a fundraiser for the San Jose nonprofit Martha's Kitchen. Bacio di Latte will match, dollar for dollar, every contribution made by customers."
Bacio di Latte opened a shop at Santana Row in San Jose, its second Northern California location after a 2025 Palo Alto store. The brand was launched in Brazil by Italian brothers Edoardo and Luigi Tonolli, who have grown the chain to about 100 shops in Brazil and roughly a dozen in Los Angeles since 2011. Gelato is made in-house daily using organic Sonoma County milk, Belgian and Italian chocolate, Sicilian pistachios and Piedmont hazelnuts, plus local produce such as blood orange from JJ's Lone Daughter Ranch. Fresh flavors and vegan sorbets rotate monthly. The shop features the Ciocchino treat and will host a fundraising opening with free samples and a dollar-for-dollar donation match.
