La Tosca
A family gelato lineage (a second Serra-run shop exists) built around a specific, named production constraint — natural thickeners only, rice flour or carob — rather than an unspecified artisanal claim.
What we know
- Run by Riccardo Serra, described as having ice cream 'in his blood' — his brother also runs a gelateria — per Maestri del Gusto
- Doubles as a full-day cafe (8.30am-8.30pm) inside an Art Nouveau building on Via Cibrario, serving pastry alongside gelato
- Cream and fresh milk sourced from Piedmontese dairy farms, per the same source
- Thickeners are 'exclusively natural (rice flour or carob),' a specific, checkable production choice rather than a general naturalness claim
- One of seven Turin addresses awarded Tre Coni in the 2024 Gambero Rosso guide
