The Gelateria has graced the corner of 14th and Washington in downtown St. Louis since January of 2006. Original owners Chris and Dana Shearman did a fabulous job of establishing it as a cozy destination for sweet treats, espresso and other deliciousness. However, by early 2009, they decided it would be best for them to focus more on their shop on South Grand (Gelateria del Leone), their growing wholesale gelato business and their growing firstborn due to arrive in the fall.
