Cold numbs. Gelato reveals.
Premium gelato and ice cream catering for Twin Cities weddings, corporate events, and celebrations that deserve more than a scoop from a tub. Made in our cafe. Not from a supplier.
Get Your ProposalGelato catering, reimagined.
This is not a rented freezer on a folding table. The La Vita gelato cart is handcrafted from Patagonian rosewood and Kentucky coffeewood — the same exotic hardwood cart that stops people mid-sentence at every event we cater across the Twin Cities.
Behind the glass, house-made gelato in steel pans at the exact temperature it was meant to be served. Custom sage green branding. A barista who knows every flavor. Your guests see this setup and they know — this is not ordinary ice cream catering.
Not dessert. A scene.
Your guests are mid-conversation. Then they see the cart. They stop. They taste. The room shifts.
The Cart
Handcrafted exotic hardwood. Not a folding table with a tablecloth. People touch it before they order. It sets the tone before a single scoop is served.
The Gelato
Made in our cafe from premium ingredients. Not shipped frozen from a distributor. Dense, slow-churned, and served at the temperature gelato was meant to be eaten. Your guests will know the difference on the first bite.
The Service
Professional staff who know every flavor, handle every guest, and disappear when they should. Setup, service, teardown. You point to a spot. We handle the rest.
Full-service gelato and ice cream catering. Everything handled.
You pick the flavors. We bring everything else to your Minneapolis, St. Paul, or Twin Cities venue.
“We almost did a dessert bar. Then someone suggested gelato. Best decision we made for the entire reception.”Lauren — Wedding Reception — Minneapolis MN
Your gelato catering menu. Your picks.
Choose three. Every flavor made with premium ingredients. Every scoop served at the temperature gelato was meant to be eaten.
Every flavor made in-house at our cafe. Not your flavor? We create custom gelato with advance notice. All flavors subject to seasonal availability.
Espresso meets gelato. Nobody else can do this.
A shot of fresh espresso pulled from a La Marzocco GS/3, poured over a scoop of gelato. The hot cracks through the cold. The crema meets the cream. It takes four seconds and changes the way your guest thinks about dessert.
Most gelato caterers rent a freezer and hand you a spoon. La Vita is the only gelato caterer in Minneapolis that also runs a full commercial espresso operation. Affogato is not an add-on. It is the reason to book us.
Two Italian traditions. One cart. Only La Vita.
