KATY, TX (Covering Katy News) - Gelato originated in Italy, so when the Martula family was looking for the best recipe for their store, they went to a gelato expo in Rimini and spent a year studying numerous gelato and dessert chains abroad. They found The Gelatist brand of gelato to be the best in the world.
They opened the first U.S. Gelatist location in October 2021 at 6300 FM 1463 near FM 1093. It is where Katy meets Fulshear. The Katy location is a family business with a family atmosphere, co-owned by Adriana Martula and her brother Samir.
They love the taste, creaminess and the simplicity of The Gelatist recipes consisting of milk, cream, and flavorings perfected by Cesare Toffolon, one of The Gelatist's Italian founders.
"He is a gelato scientist. He does not come out of the laboratory until he makes it perfect," Adriana said.
