From Florence with love, enjoy our traditional Italian colomba this Easter 🇮🇹
24/03/2026
It’s , and as proud Italians, we take this day very seriously 🍨
We opened our first gelateria in Florence in 1932. But it was the creation of our signature flavour, Buontalenti that made us famous. A gelato showcasing simplicity and quality with just four ingredients; cream, milk, sugar and eggs.
Our signature flavour is named after the Renaissance architect and creative genius, Bernardo Buontalenti, who is said to be the creator of gelato.
Since opening our second shop in London in 2016, we’ve expanded to 5 countries worldwide, all committed to serving the same exceptional gelato we make in Florence. So celebrate with us, and enjoy a gelato today 🍦

Back by popular demand, our Colomba gelato! 🕊️
Our creamy gelato, flavoured with candied fruit, aromatic spices and pieces of our fluffy buttery Colomba, it’s the taste of Easter 🐣

Easter is almost here, and at Badiani, that means Colomba! 🐣
If you’ve yet to try this tasty Italian Easter cake, see our Colomba guide below, which explains exactly why you should want to eat one:
1. A Colomba is a traditional dove-shaped Easter cake from Italy.
2. It’s sweet and slowly proved for a soft, fluffy finish and topped with a sugary almond glaze.
3. It’s shaped like a dove to symbolise peace and renewal.
4. At Badiani we cherish our Italian heritage, but we also love a twist! And that’s why we have two Colomba flavours this year – Classica and Dark Chocolate
Not convinced? Head into one of our shops to ask for a taster 😉
