The Colicci journey began back in 1982, when a young Ernie Colicci travelled to England from his native Italy with a dream to ... sell ice cream and a passion to grow a business. Soon after arriving in England he met a young lady called Josephine, she would later become his wife and together they started the company by purchasing one ice cream van. One van became two and before they knew it the Colicci adventure had truly begun. Very quickly Ernie & Josephine were providing ice cream vans to the biggest events in the country and gaining respect for their service and quality. By the late 90's they had grown to a fleet of over 20 vans and after one event in Hyde Park they were asked whether they wanted to fill the vacancy for the fixed sites within the Park. This meant selling much more than just ice cream but that didn't phase them. They jumped at the chance and have never looked back! Today Colicci has grown to an operation of over 30 fixed sites in London's most visited parks with a mixture of cafes, kiosks, restaurants & beautiful vintage ice cream trucks. It's important to us to make things ourselves using only the best ingredients - evidenced in our own dedicated kitchens and bakery. Colicci is still a family business steeped in history and today we believe that every customer should experience the family bond and taste the passion in our food and drink. read more
