About Us

At Viva Gelato, we're more than just a gelato business — we're a love story on wheels with sprinkles on top.

We’re Joe and Dani, partners in life and in gelato. Our journey began with a shared dream: to bring a taste of Italy to New England while honoring past loved ones. With roots in the classics and a passion for community, we launched Viva Gelato out of a vintage Italian Piaggio — the kind you'd see buzzing through cobblestone streets in Rome — and hit the road with handcrafted flavors and big smiles.

Whether it's weddings, festivals, or lazy summer afternoons by the coast, we believe every scoop tells a story. From our signature waterfall granite kitchen at home to the flavor brainstorms we share late at night, everything we do is made with love, laughter, and a little bit of la dolce vita.

 And at the center of it all is Lily — Joe’s daughter and our secret ingredient. Whether she’s helping out at events, dreaming up new flavors, or bringing her light and laughter to the mix, Lily keeps Viva Gelato grounded in family and fueled by fun. 

Viva Gelato is about slowing down, savoring the moment, and sharing something truly special — with every cone, cup, and smile.
