Yes the rumours are true: Arlecchino Gelateria is now Grateful Spoon Gelato. A big loss for az food.
Gelato-makers Moreno and Marina Spangaro have moved back to Italy. Now the gelato is in the hands of 22-year-old Jordan Lynn, son of the La Grand Orange empire founder, Bob Lynn. (A family enterprise – Bob Lynn and wife Ann are among the partners — Grateful Spoon Gelato is not part of the LGO group.)
The younger Lynn has been in the kitchens since the age of 15, working at both La Grande Orange and Chelsea’s Kitchen (where restaurants and phoenix go together). He “fell in love” with Italy in 2005, when he spent a summer in Bologna. He recently spent two weeks with Moreno, learning the gelato craft.
He foresees “as little change as possible” with the gelato itself, sticking to the Spangaros Old World artisanal methods as well as their commitment to premium ingredients, like Sicilian pistachios and blood oranges. But he’ll also be looking into new gelato platforms, like cakes and pastries. phoenix restaurants az
Arlecchino Gelateria was a critic’s pick for Best Ice Cream Spot in the 2009 Azcentral.com’s Best awards, mostly because of the made-from-scratch taste created by the authentic ingredients.
