THIS GELATO WILL CHANGE YOUR DAY

It might even change your life. Shy Guy sells and delivers delicious, handmade gelato in the Burlington, Vermont area.

 
 

Our Gelato

Shy Guy Gelato was founded by a local Vermonter who worked in restaurants in Italy. Gelato became his passion and he’s devoted a lot of time to perfecting his technique.

We’re inspired by community and delicious ingredients. Whether a customer suggests a great new flavor or we discover a fruit in season at the Farmers Market, the gelato we make reflects what is great about Vermont.

PAUL SANSONE

Paul’s love and passion for food started at a very young age growing up in an Italian family. His earliest food memories were picking fresh veggies out of the garden with his brother while his parents were cooking dinner. After years of restaurant work Paul’s love for the sense of family and community that food can create is what provoked him to go to Italy and learn more about his heritage and the simplicity of real Italian food.

While working abroad Paul had the fortune of working for a few really amazing chefs who produced southern Italian Gelato. Upon returning to Vermont and looking for a business partner with the same level of passion for food and community, Paul and Tim teamed up and Shy Guy Gelato was born.

TIM ELLIOT

Tim has always championed simple, high quality food. His inspirational teenage years homesteading and his broad restaurant experience led to the start of the successful Stone Soup restaurant in 1997. He has been leading Burlington Vermont’s farm to table movement providing the community with food created from regional crops.

He has found new inspiration partnering with Paul Sansone to create Shy Guy Gelato. Tim is excited to set the new standard for frozen desserts in Burlington VT.
