Our Story
Think Dolce was born from a clear vision and a bold commitment.
In 2013, our founder Annagrazia recognized an unmet need in the American foodservice market: HoReCa professionals — chefs, gelato artisans, pastry teams, and restaurant operators — were searching for Italian dessert solutions that combined genuine authenticity with the consistency and reliability that professional kitchens require.
Generic products filled the shelves. What was missing was something real.
Through a solid partnership with Antico Eremo Company, Think Dolce was created to bring premium dessert mixes directly to the U.S. market, where Italian tradition meets the practical realities of foodservice at scale.
A Family Vision, a Structured Company
What started as a family-driven leap of faith has grown into something more. Annagrazia's decision was rooted in more than a business opportunity — it was a genuine belief in the United States as a market, in its energy, its openness, and its capacity to embrace quality when it's presented with honesty. That conviction has shaped everything about how Think Dolce operates.
From the beginning, the whole family has been part of this journey — and that family foundation, built on the Italian values of quality, care, and shared purpose, still runs through everything we do. But Think Dolce today is also a structured, professional operation. We work with the agility of a close-knit team and the reliability that serious buyers expect. Whether you're placing your first order or building a long-term supply relationship, you're working with people who are personally invested in getting it right.
What We Offer
Think Dolce specializes in professional Italian gelato and dessert solutions developed for foodservice businesses.
Every product is made in Italy, combining authentic recipes with modern production standards to deliver consistent quality, simplified preparation and reliable performance in professional kitchens.
Beyond the Line: Custom Solutions & Private Label
Think Dolce is built around a curated line — but our capabilities go further.
We work with foodservice businesses on fully customized solutions: private label formulations, bespoke recipes developed to your specifications, and tailored packaging designed to carry your brand. If a product concept exists in the Italian dessert tradition and you want it under your name, that conversation is worth having.
A good example: professional hot chocolate. Rich, velvety, and unmistakably Italian — it’s the kind of product that quietly transforms a winter menu and keeps customers coming back. If that’s something your operation could use, we can develop a formulation that fits your needs exactly. Whatever your requirements, bring them to us. Custom work is where some of our most interesting partnerships have started.
Building Long-Term Partnerships
Whether you're introducing Italian gelato for the first time or expanding an established dessert program, our goal remains the same: to build lasting partnerships based on quality, trust and shared success.
At Think Dolce, every customer relationship begins with a conversation.
