- Coffee, cappuccino, toast, ice cream and… single-serving flower desserts by Vincenzo Dascanio Cafè .
From breakfast to aperitifs, from coffee and pastries to savory snacks, at Vincenzo Dascanio Cafe you’ll find a warm welcome for a moment of indulgence.
And since the brand has its roots in floral design, here’s a tribute to that world of flowers: a line of single-serving products called “i Fiori di casa”:
“La Rosa,” a mousse made with 67% dark chocolate, cocoa cake, praline, and hazelnut brittle;
the Margherita, made with lime and vanilla cheesecake cream, an exotic mango, banana, and passion fruit gelée, and a crunchy cookie;
The Frangipane, made with yogurt and vanilla cream, strawberry and lemon gelée, and vanilla cake.
and, of course, ice cream in cups or cones.

- Vincenzo Dascanio’s Success Stories in Retail
Vincenzo Dascanio opened in St. Moritz in December 2023, in Portofino in April 2025, and in November 2025, the Vincenzo Dascanio Boutique at Scalo Milano will also open, followed by locations in Taormina and Noto in 2026. At the Sicilian locations, gelato takes center stage as part of a local tradition, thanks to the option of enjoying it inside a classic brioche with a tuppo or as a filling for fragrant, freshly made cannoli.
