Duo stands for quality, authenticity, and Sicilian heritage. All our gelato contains fiber, less sugar, and no artificial flavors. We use only the world’s best ingredients: pistachios and hazelnuts sourced directly from Sicily, alongside milk and cream from local farms.

With five locations, Duo has become a Berlin favorite, known for exceptional gelato, signature glaze, homemade cannoli, and innovative vegan options—all served in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

A Taste of Sicily

Sicily's cuisine reflects its cultural blend of Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman influences, using fresh, local ingredients like citrus fruits, almonds, and pistachios. These authentic flavors form the foundation of our gelato, cannoli, granita, and other Sicilian treats, bringing the essence of Sicily to every bite. At Duo, we honor this heritage, offering a true taste of Sicily in Berlin. We offers Sicilian treats like cannoli, granita, and ice cream burgers (ice cream served in freshly baked brioche buns).

Why Duo Stands Out

Gelato Glaze – What sets Duo apart is our signature glaze. Employees dip your gelato into a tub of glaze that hardens into a crunchy, flavorful coating.
‍
Gelato, Granita, and Vegan Sorbets – From our rich pistachio gelato crafted with Sicilian pistachios to our vibrant vegan sorbets, Duo stands out. Made with just water, sugar, and fresh fruit, our vegan sorbets deliver a pure and refreshing experience. Similarly, granita, a classic Sicilian specialty, combines water, sugar, and natural flavors to create a smooth, icy texture bursting with vibrant taste.
‍
High-Quality Selection – Duo offers distinctive flavors, including a variety of pistachio options, non-traditional blends, diverse chocolates, and some gelato with a hint of salt.

Generous Portions, Italian Style – Forget tiny servings! At Duo, gelato is served the traditional Italian way – with a spatula – ensuring each portion is generous and satisfying.

A Family Legacy

Owner and founder of Duo Sicilian Ice Cream, Antonio Tomasello, carries forward a family legacy that began in 1972. His story is deeply rooted in his family’s passion for gelato. It all started when Antonio’s father left Bronte, Sicily, for Germany with a dream: to share the rich, authentic flavors of his homeland. He opened his first ice cream shop in Münster, quickly gaining a loyal following thanks to his dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Antonio grew up surrounded by this passion, spending summers helping in his father’s shop. By the age of 12, he had already created his first chocolate gelato, sparking a lifelong love for gelato-making.

In 2016, Antonio took over the family business and founded Duo Sicilian Ice Cream. After years of learning the craft, refining recipes (like adding more and better fruit) and exploring new ideas, he transformed the family business into Duo Sicilian Ice Cream in 2016. Staying true to his roots while embracing innovation, Antonio created a brand that speaks to both traditionalists and modern audiences.

A growing Reputation

Our first store on Skalitzer Straße in Kreuzberg is the heart of Duo, known for its welcoming atmosphere and famously long queues – a testament to our reputation for excellence. With five locations across Berlin and counting, including Prenzlauer Berg and Harzer Straße, Duo continues to grow while staying true to its Sicilian soul. And it doesn’t stop there. Our 400-square-meter Duo Food Lab in Kreuzberg serves as a production hub and creative space, allowing us to push boundaries and bring even more exciting flavors to life.

Duo is more than just a gelato shop – it’s a part of Berlin’s community. From participating in Ice Cream Week to hosting our own Sicilian Street Food Festival, we bring people together to celebrate authentic flavors and good company.
