Nestled in the heart of Ladera Ranch, Ricco Gelato is not just a dessert store — it’s a soft landing for people with a sweet tooth and a love for beautiful environments.
French-style elegance meets California casual.
The shop is zoned into three distinct yet flowing areas: entry + display, open counter interaction, and a tucked-in seating nook by the wall.
Rather than overt logos, the brand expression is subtly embedded into spatial gestures — custom gold signage on textured walls, soft-edge counters mimicking scooped gelato, and sage tiles that echo the creamy hues of pistachio flavors.
Ricco Gelato, while small in footprint, creates an atmosphere with lasting emotional memory. It’s not just about selling gelato, but crafting a gentle ritual — for every cone, every pause, every soft smile.
