Opening January 11th (approx.), Frati Gelato Cafe was conceived by Dr. Anthony LuPriore to bring authentic gelato to America. Born and raised in Westerly, Rhode Island, Anthony LuPriore moved to Italy in 1982 to study and practice vascular medicine.
During the over two decades that he lived in Italy, he gained a great appreciation for Italian cuisine. He opened and was the Executive Chef of “Casa Lugol” in Perugia, Italy. He was also instrumental in the founding of the Italian culinary association known as “Slow Food-Umbria”.
While in Italy, Dr. LuPriore studied under the guidance of Professor Luca Caviezel. Professor Caviezel is considered the modern day “Father of Gelato” and has published many books on this art form.
Known for his impeccable attention to detail and affinity for perfection, Dr. LuPriore has truly mastered the art and science of gelato making. Originally created in the 16th century, this Italian delicacy has been faithfully recreated by Dr. LuPriore using only the finest ingredients, and according to exacting recipes.
The mission of Frati Gelato Cafe is to introduce America to the true taste of this delicious Italian delicacy.
