Paciugo is pronounced "pah-CHOO-go". Paciugo in an Italian dialect from Portofino's area means ‘messy concoction'. We chose it because, in addition to the traditional recipes learned by apprenticing in Gelaterie in Italy, we are continuously inspired to create new exotic recipes by pairing the best fresh ingredients from all over the world.Forget flying across the Atlantic for the creamy, rich flavor of authentic Italian gelato; instead, Paciugo brings Italy to you. For the past ten years, the U.S gelateria has emerged as a leader in the $26 billion U.S. frozen dessert sector, renowned for its authentically hand-made gelato, made fresh daily from natural ingredients. Paciugo was founded by Ugo Ginatta and his wife Cristiana in April 2000, in Dallas, TX. They have imported Italian ingredients, machinery and techniques from their native Italy to duplicate the fourth-generation recipes from their home cities of Turin and Milan, respectively. Ugo's son, Vincent, joined the company at the end of 2000 upon graduating in mechanical engineering.Since 2000, Paciugo cafes have been delighting guests with a tremendous variety of high-quality and unique menu items. Every morning, each Paciugo cafe freshly prepares its gelato, serving 30 to 38 flavors daily. Currently, there are 18 Paciugo retail locations in the greater Dallas area, and many more cafes throughout the USA, for a total of 45 locations, including the US Virgin Islands.
