The first Morelli's Ice Cream Parlour in the UK was opened by Mario on the Broadstairs seafront above the picturesque Viking Bay in Kent in 1932. Mario’s son Joe was the first to serve 8 flavours of ice cream following the Parlour upgrade and expansion in 1959, followed by Mario who introduced the first 24 flavour display. Since then, Morelli’s opened first in the Middle East, Café de Paris in Monaco, then South East Asia, Georgia, Gabon and soon Mexico - she has seen her vision coming to fruition in a global recognition that Morelli’s fresh gelato is something totally different to every day ice cream.
