A Decade of La Macelleria Party

Overview

2024 marks ten years since La Macelleria set up shop in Brisbane, gifting the city's residents with an array of inventive gelato and sorbet flavours. Over that period, it has taught ice cream lovers how to make their own, served up all-you-can-eat sweet treats and expanded its footprint by adding more than a few new shops — and, as it likes to whenever it's birthday time, now it's throwing a big Italian fiesta on Sunday, August 11 to celebrate.

For its latest huge milestone, La Macelleria will spend a day doing what it does best, but also doing more than that. Gelato will be on the menu, obviously. Also, it's whipping up gelato cocktails, with free sips on offer if you buy a pizza from Scugnizzi, which will be onsite with Roman-style slices for the occasion.

The merriment runs from 12pm, which is when Scugnizzi will serve lunch, finishing at 2pm. If you're keen on pizza for dinner — and those gelato cocktails — that's available from 5–7pm.

Also on the agenda: Casa Motta stretching mozzarella and burrata live, plus balloon art for kids, as well as supporting one of Brisbane's dessert havens.
