San Lorenzo Gelateria
The strongest competition-verified maker story in the city: a single gelatiere's award-winning recipe became a shop that is now the only Brazilian gelateria with two placements in the global top 50.
What to order
San Lorenzo (ricotta, honey and rosemary, pine nuts) — the shop's namesake and award-winning flavour; San Pietro (chocolate, olive oil, pecan) won Best Gelato in Brazil in 2023
What we know
- Signature flavour 'San Lorenzo' (ricotta, honey, rosemary, pine nuts), created by Floriano in 2018, won Best Brazilian Gelato at Gelato Festival Challenge 2018 before the physical store existed
- Physical store opened November 2021 in Morumbi
- Ranked among the world's top 50 gelaterias by Gelato Festival World Ranking in 2024 (32nd) and again in 2026 — the site states San Lorenzo is now the only Brazilian gelateria with two such placements ('a única do Brasil com 2 coroas')
- 150+ original flavours developed since founding, shown in a constantly rotating display
- Independently named by two working chefs (Danillo Coêlho of Mila; Daniela and Renato Neves of Luce) as producing the city's best pistachio and best chocolate gelato respectively
