When Michelina discovered that every generation of her family, the Caliendos, had been gelato makers in London since the 1880s, she felt compelled to keep the family legacy alive. Together with her partner Fiona they learned to craft the highest quality artisan Italian gelato and sorbets. After securing premises on Kentish Town high street, the duo opened Caliendo's Gelato and have since been voted UK Parlour of the Year.
