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

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.

Questions

Things people ask.

Yes. All our gelato and sorbetto are completely eggless. We focus on slow-crafted recipes that rely on high-quality milk, fruits, nuts, and chocolates to deliver richness and depth, without using eggs.

Il Tiramisu Veneziano. House-pulled espresso bonded with mascarpone, layered through with espresso-soaked savoiardi and finished with cocoa. It sells out fast, and we make it again the next day.

We open at noon on weekdays and 9 AM on weekends. Popular flavours sell out by mid-afternoon. Come early for the widest selection, or return around four when fresh batches are back on the bar.
