An authentic Italian gelato shop bakery has officially opened in German Village after much anticipation.

Ciao Café’s first location in Downtown Delaware has been a tremendous success for the past 7 years, and owners Eva and Tani are excited to bring their second concept to German Village, called Ciao Cafe German Village, which is located at 214 Thurman Ave., right next to Fox in the Snow in the building that used to be the home of Cafetique, which recently closed.

Eva and Tani were born in Albania but lived in Italy for 13 years, learning authentic methods of making desserts such as gelato, tiramisù, cannolis, and savory options like paninis and Italian sandwiches. “We came to America with the purpose to open a gelato & coffee shop,” Tani told 614Now.

And they’re living their dream. Ciao Cafe GV will not only offer all of the aforementioned treats, but also espresso, coffee, and affogato. Tani said there are plenty of gluten-free and vegan options, with sandwiches and paninis soon to come, too.

Ciao Gelato is open every day, 4pm-9pm. Right now, they have a full pastry case of delicious (and beautiful) Italian pastries, plus gelato flavors like pistachio, tiramisu, buckeye, and even birthday cake. We’ll definitely see you there!
