Scannapieco has been family-run since 1938. The family’s grandparents Andrés & Josephina immigrated from Italy’s Amalfi Coast and immediately started producing some of the best ice creams in the city with their three children.

Today, the ice cream parlor seems unchanged over the decades.

The menu is split into four bases: fruit, cream-based flavors, dulce de leche, and chocolates.

They have desserts like fruit sundaes and Copa Melba that I saw quite a few abuelas enjoying while I ate a more traditional cone.

This is the heladería to try if you want to feel like you’re experiencing Buenos Aires history!
