Gelateria Pepino
Piedmont
The listing
Gelateria Pepino is an artisanal gelateria in Piedmont.
On AppGelato, Piedmont is represented by gianduia: a good starting point for a first scoop. As with any artisanal counter, the real test remains the classic creams and the fruit sorbets of the season.
Before planning a visit, it is worth checking seasonal openings and closures directly with the gelateria.

The gelateria in its territory
This listing is part of the guide to artisanal gelaterie in Piedmont, which follows 453 counters across the region: the regional pages gather the addresses town by town, with maps and practical details.
Listing information comes from public sources — including OpenStreetMap — and from the guide’s archive: the editorial team verifies and enriches it over time, and when a piece of data is not confirmed it is left out rather than invented. No listing is paid for.
Artisanal gelato in Italy: the context for this listing
The cone remains one of the country’s most democratic rituals: a good counter turns up in historic centres and provincial towns alike, and it is often off the tourist routes that the laboratories surprise the most.
Italian artisanal gelato is not a single product: it is a geography. Every region has brought its own ingredients to the counter — Bronte pistachio in Sicily, hazelnut in Piedmont, bergamot in Calabria, alpine milk in the north — and every city has its reference counters, often handed down through generations.
The difference between artisanal and industrial gelato is decided in the laboratory: daily churning, fruit in season, less air and fewer added vegetable fats. That is why the same word, gelato, can describe such different experiences from one address to the next.
The guide gathers gelaterie region by region: from the regions page you can drill down to the city and to each individual listing.
How to use the guide starting from this listing
The most direct route starts from the gelaterie page: the map of the regions leads to the area you are interested in, where the counters are grouped town by town with maps and directions. The search on the homepage, meanwhile, finds a gelateria by name, city or region in a few keystrokes.
This is one of the guide’s essential listings: fields appear only once the sources confirm them. For the visit itself, the universal rules of artisanal gelato hold — seasonal flavors, believable colors, protected tubs — plus a direct check of hours and openings.
What to taste at the counter
Two well-chosen tastes are enough to judge a gelateria: one “naked” flavor like fior di latte, which forgives no shortcuts, and a sorbet of the season. The regional symbol flavor — gianduia for Piedmont — is the guide’s recommended third stop.
Seasons matter: citrus and rich creams in winter, stone fruit and sorbets in summer. A counter offering strawberry in December is telling a different story from that of artisanal gelato.

FAQ about Gelateria Pepino
Which flavor should you try in Piedmont?
The region's symbol flavor on this guide is gianduia: a good first scoop, together with the classics that reveal any laboratory — fior di latte, crema and the sorbets of the season.
How can you find the exact address of Gelateria Pepino?
When the address is not yet confirmed in the listing, the most reliable route is to search for the gelateria’s name together with its town on the shop’s official channels or an online map. As soon as public sources confirm the data, the listing is updated at the next refresh cycle.
How can you tell whether a gelateria is genuinely artisanal?
Look for three things: seasonal flavors, believable colors and protected tubs. And listen for one: the people serving an artisanal counter can usually tell you where the pistachio, hazelnut and fruit come from. Vague answers say more than any sign.
Why do some listings carry more information than others?
The guide’s rule is simple: better an empty field than an invented one. Every listing shows the information confirmed as of the latest update, and grows over time along with its sources.
Is the information in this listing verified?
The listing reports only data confirmed by public sources — including OpenStreetMap — and by the guide’s archive: when a piece of information cannot be verified it is omitted, not invented. No gelateria can pay for its listing or its position.
