Viva Gelato was born from the vision of Hallie Dabo, an entrepreneur with a passion for quality, community, and unforgettable flavor. Tired of desserts packed with artificial ingredients and lacking real care, Hallie set out to create something different—something better.

Her dream was simple: bring a taste of luxury to her hometown in a way that feels elevated but still attainable for everyone. That meant sourcing only the finest ingredients, focusing on clean recipes, and delivering a high-end gelato experience in an inviting, stylish space.

Every detail, from the silky texture of the gelato to the gold-accented décor, reflects her commitment to excellence without compromise. Viva Gelato isn’t just dessert—it’s Hallie’s way of offering Jacksonville a little moment of indulgence, made with integrity and love.
