Julio Bertoni, a renowned gelato master, upholds a distinguished family tradition that began in Argentina in 1952 with his grandfather’s gelato business. As the third generation in this esteemed lineage, Julio made his mark on Miami’s culinary scene in 2000 by introducing authentic Italian gelato through his venture, Dolce Vita, which later became Bertoni Gelato.

​

His unwavering commitment to using only high-quality, all-natural ingredients has set a high standard in the industry. This dedication was recognized in 2012 when Julio received the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce.

​

Julio’s success is marked by the expansion of his stores beyond Miami to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Mexico City, and his consulting work with businesses in Chile, Spain, and other locations around the globe. His innovative approach, combined with a deep respect for his family’s tradition, has established Bertoni Gelato as a leader in the gelato world.
