FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS
Based on the Weymouth Esplanade, the Figliolini family have been running Rossi's Ices since 1937.
We don’t have a factory set up or lots of machines to create gallons of ice cream. Instead, we have stayed with the traditional methods of ice cream manufacture, making our ice cream in small batches by hand, with love.
The flavours on offer at our ice cream parlour change daily as we make everything fresh each day. This means that whilst we have a vast array flavours that we make in total, we rotate through them and make up to two or three each day. So no matter how many days in a row you visit, you can try something new each time. But of course, our original Natural flavour is always available.
We are proud of the fact we are a family business and we keep this at the heart of everything we do. So it truly is from our family to yours.
Meet the Family Today
Rossi's Ices is proudly run by Fulvio Figliolini, the third generation of the family.
Fulvio continues to make all our ice cream on the premises, using the same time-honoured methods that have been passed down through the family.
He is now training his daughter Aimee, the fourth generation, so the Rossi’s tradition will continue for years to come. Whether it is behind the counter serving customers, handcrafting our daily flavours, or sharing stories of Rossi’s past, the family remains at the heart of everything we do.
Four generations. One family recipe.
Fulvio Figliolini
Third Generation
Known to locals as Figgy, Fulvio is the heart and soul of Rossi’s Ices. He has been crafting ice cream for Weymouth for nearly 50 years, following in the footsteps of his father, Eugenio. Figgy’s love for ice cream is matched only by his passion for music, during the winter months he can often be found in his own studio, composing and creating. Whether he is behind the counter serving scoops or handcrafting the flavours, Figgy’s dedication and creativity keep Rossi’s traditions alive.
Aimee Figliolini
Fourth Generation
Aimee is a Director at Rossi’s Ices and one of Fulvio’s children. She has recently joined her father to learn every trick of the trade and is preparing to one day take over the family business. She is also putting her love of digital marketing and social media to work, helping Rossi’s reach more ice cream fans than ever. Outside the parlour, Aimee enjoys spending time with her husband and their young son, exploring the outdoors, and dreaming up new ways to bring the Rossi’s experience to even more people.
OUR ICE CREAM
At Rossi’s Ices, we pride ourselves on keeping our ice cream as natural as possible. Our base ice cream, called Natural, is made using only five simple ingredients.
Natural is the foundation for every flavour we create.
When we turn this base into one of our many different flavours, we stick to real, natural ingredients. Chocolate is made with cocoa, coffee with coffee, and fruit flavours with real fruit. You always know what you are getting — it really is what it says on the tin.
And it is not just for humans. Our Natural flavour is completely safe for dogs, so even the furry members of your family can enjoy a scoop during a visit to the Weymouth seafront.
