Watch the 2-minute setup
LT Gelatia is a block theme for gelato and ice cream parlours: scoops at the counter, take-home tubs, gelato cakes, catering and van hire for events. Its look comes from the counter itself: the vitrine seen from above, a grid of steel tubs, each in the colour of its flavour, with a little flag in the new one. See it live in the demo.

Change today’s flavours
Click a flavour name in the editor to change it. Each tub takes its colour from a class in Block → Advanced → Additional CSS class(es), for example gelatia-tub is-pistachio. Colours available: is-pistachio, is-fior-di-latte, is-cioccolato, is-limone, is-lampone, is-nocciola, is-stracciatella, is-caffe, is-mango, is-caramello, is-fragola, is-fico, is-mirtillo and is-menta. The diet tags are plain words: edit or delete them, and keep the “New” flag on one or two flavours at most.
Demo content to replace
- Phone
(555) 017-0119, email[email protected]and the Larkspur Street address in Springfield (header, footer, opening hours and contact sections), and the benches and parking note. - Opening hours in the top bar, hero, footer and the opening hours section.
- The flavours in the hero and the full vitrine, every diet tag and the “New” flag, marked “Sample flavours and diet tags”.
- The making steps, sizes and every price marked “Example prices” (cones, cups, tubs, cakes, catering and van hire), and the cake notice marked “(sample)”.
- The three sample team members, their bios and photos, and the sample reviews from “Sample customer”.
- The “Send an order request” button: link it to your order form or booking system.
Allergens come first. Tag a flavour Vegan or Dairy-free only when your recipe really has no milk or eggs, and keep the allergen note: if nuts, milk, eggs and gluten are used in your kitchen, do not call any flavour nut-free or allergy-safe. Make no health claims (“healthy”, “guilt-free”), and publish reviews only from real customers who agreed to it.

Colour styles
Raspberry (default: milk white, cocoa ink, raspberry and a pistachio flag), Stracciatella (dark chocolate with pale raspberry), Limone (lemon cream with lemon-leaf green) and Mirtillo (blueberry milk with lavender). The tub colours stay the same in every style, because they are the colours of the gelato. Try them in the live demo with the colour dots in the top bar.
