A TRUE ITALIAN CULINARY EXPERIENCE & MORE

The first Paolo’s Gelato opened in Atlanta, Georgia during an ice storm in 1999. Owner, Paolo Dalla Zorza – a native of Treviso, Italy (not far from Venice) – was born into a family of Chefs and Pharmacists. He graduated from the University of Parma with a degree in Veterinarian Medicine.

Unsatisfied with the lack of creativity as a Veterinarian, Paolo took a year to refocus and traveled the world – England, Japan, Australia and America. Also an avid airplane pilot, Paolo discovered while flying around America that there wasn’t any gelato – bingo! His fate was sealed!

Paolo’s was the first authentic Italian gelateria in Atlanta, with Italian flavors and freshly made gelato created the old fashioned way – using no instant mixes and only the freshest fruits, vegetables and ingredients.
