Why Undici? Aside from it being the number 11 in Italian, it has a much deeper meaning to me.

The number 11 became very significant when I was 11 years old. It was at this age that I lost my grandmother on May 11th and eleven years later, I lost my other grandmother.  Every time I would see 11:11 on the clock, I felt spiritually at peace. I believed it was my grandmothers’ way of saying “hello” from the other side.

Many years later, I met my now wife and we also developed a special connection with 11:11 and would always say ‘I love you’ at 11:11 or message the number if we were apart. We even got married on November 11th - 11/11!

November 11th is also Veteran’s Day and my father was an Army Veteran for almost 30 years. 

My father’s dream was to open a gelato & espresso café, but he never did. The last conversation I had with him before he passed, was him telling me that he would never stand in the way of any of my dreams. We planned to open up something together one day.

When I was ready to open my own gelato & espresso bar, deciding on the perfect name for this family-centered venture was easy, Undici was the clear choice. It’s a word that symbolizes so much love to me - and that’s what this business is about - love, family, and of course, delicious hand-crafted gelato!

I know that I wouldn’t be here today without the strength and guidance from all who have supported me on this journey. Thank you for being a part of it!

With Gratitude,
