History
Legit Gelato was created in 2010 during, of course, a trip to Italy. While considering new passions to pursue, it came to me to bring a Gelateria to downtown Colorado Springs. It would be true Italian in quality, service and decor - a legitimate Italian experience. So, Legit Gelato was born. Upon returning home we secured the Web address legitgelato.com. Life's projects delayed our opening. Education on the creation of artisanal gelato ensued. Commitment to a gelato machine yielded tests of gelato recipes with success. With the discovering of the perfect dark chocolate, the selection of flavors expanded over a two-year period. Colorado was added to the name, and Legit Gelato Colorado opened its scoop shop at the Pikes Peak Market in Colorado Springs in June 2018. In January 2019 we left the Market to pursue a location in the downtown core - that effort continues as we plan 2020.
