Gelato Giant Piccolina and Yarraville Stalwart Rocco's Deli Have Teamed Up to Create a Decadent Gelato Sandwich for Father's Day
Either pick up these gelato sandwiches from Piccolina stores, or head over to Rocco's Deli to pair your dessert with meatball subs and antipasto platters.
Piccolina is known for its playful gelato-stuffed creations. Working alone, the team has created chocolate Easter eggs filled with all kinds of ganache and gelato, and Mother's Day bonbons packed with similar fillings. It also regularly teams up with chefs all over Melbourne to create unusual limited-edition flavour combos.
And now, for Father's Day, Piccolina has joined forces with Rocco's Deli in Yarraville to serve up a special pistachio gelato sandwich. This old-school Italian delicatessen and grocer has been around since 1977, and is best known for pumping out cheap and incredibly tasty deli sandwiches.
Rocco's is the perfect candidate for a gelato sandwich collaboration.
And what a beauty this sanga is. The Father's Day treat features pistachio gelato, pistachio fudge blondie and dulce de leche, all covered in milk chocolate and Iranian pistachios.
These bad boys cost $20 a pop, which might seem exorbitant for an ice cream sandwich. But the Festa della Papà Pistachio Gelato Sandwich is an incredibly decadent handmade dessert that's far greater than your usual supermarket version. If your dad is a pistachio gelato fan, seriously consider ordering one of these before they sell out.
The gelato-filled, chocolate-covered sandwiches are available at Piccolina stores and via its website from Wednesday, August 7–Thursday, September 5.
And for a little extra fun, Piccolina is popping up at Rocco's Deli from Thursday, August 22–Thursday, September 5, so you can get one of these Father's Day creations while also grabbing a meatball sub, two litres of olive oil and an antipasto platter. Because, why not?
