Gelateria · Chennai

An Italian gelato laboratory in the heart of Anna Salai. Thirty-six flavours, slow-churned each morning, served from noon to one.

Slow-crafted gelato, from scratch.

Eggless, always. Built on grade-A Madagascar vanilla, Piedmontese pistachio, Mahabaleshwar berries and Callebaut couverture. Nothing else.

The craft,
in four chapters.

Gelato is not ice cream. Less air, less fat, more flavour: a discipline that begins the night before each scoop is served. We pasteurise at low heat, age the base for hours, and finish with whole-ingredient inclusions: real fudge, real confiture, real fruit. No essences, no powders, no shortcuts.

Thirty-six flavours rotate on the bar each week. By two in the afternoon, some are already gone. We do not apologise for this; we simply make another batch, and the day continues.

I.

Sourced

Single-origin where it matters: Piedmont pistachio, Wah Tea Estate Earl Grey, Mahabaleshwar strawberries.

II.

Aged

The base rests overnight for fat-protein bond. The texture you cannot fake.

III.

Churned

Slow, dense, served at minus twelve degrees so the flavour stays loud.

IV.

Eggless

Every flavour. Texture from technique, not yolks. A choice, not a compromise.

Inside Ciacco gelateria

Flavour of the moment

Il Tiramisu
Veneziano

No. 38 · Signature

A dessert,
rebuilt as gelato.

House-pulled espresso bonded with mascarpone, intertwined with a separate zabaglione gelato. Layered through with savoiardi, espresso-soaked sponge, a true cocoa dust.

It is a tiramisu that does not pretend to be one. It simply is, in colder form.

The kind of thing that makes you pause mid-spoon and check who else is watching. A regular, a Tuesday
Visit Ciacco

Come find us on Anna Salai.

Counter service, twelve to one. Sit-down space inside. Most flavours sell out by mid-afternoon, so we recommend coming early, or in the cooler evenings when the bar is freshly restocked.
