PERTH | Architect Hesam Mizan and his brother Hossein grew up in Iran, enjoying the ice-cream that his father and his uncle made as one of the country’s largest ice-cream producers. They moved to Australia to study, but always felt the pull of gelato calling them to open their own gelato shop in Perth.
At the start of 2023 they made it a reality, opening Cuccini Gelato in Northbridge. It’s a small, minimalist spot, with a focus on the big board of flavours and the stainless steel pozetti that hold the duo’s creaions.
Flavours include classics like pistachio, fior di latte, and chocolate, along with options that nod to the brothers’ Persian heritage like saffron bastani, and a chocolate chilli creation infused with pomegranate.
There’s also flavours like hojicha, and rum and raisin, plus sorbets and vegan options. Keep an eye out for limited edition flavours and fun collaborations. A Halloween collaboration saw Cuccini teaming up with Croff Bakehouse to create a buttery croissant filled with fior di latte gelato, strawberry sorbetto, and a chocolate swirl.
