Italy’s artisanal gelato elevated
La Timballo delivers award-winning, handcrafted gelato with creamy precision and subtle sweetness—Udine’s must‑visit for flavor purists and gourmands alike.
La Timballo (also known as Gelateria Fiordilatte) is Udine’s crown jewel of artisanal gelato, continuously crafting small-batch excellence since 1985. Founded by Giancarlo Timballo, a visionary and organizer of the Gelato World Championships, the shop blends traditional fiordilatte techniques with gourmet innovation—remarkably reducing sweetness and highlighting pure flavors. Each flavor is made from scratch daily using top-tier ingredients, often inspired by culinary creativity and seasonal produce. The result is a silky, deep, and ultra-refined gelato experience that feels more like haute cuisine than street fare.
