Glendale’s sweet tooth is about to get another workout. Bacio di Latte, the Italian gelato chain steadily spreading across Southern California, is now listed as “coming soon” to The Americana at Brand in Glendale. The mall has quietly added the gelateria to its roster of future dining options, promising another high-end dessert stop at the open-air center. So far, neither the chain nor the mall has shared an opening date for the Glendale scoop shop.
According to the Americana at Brand dining directory, the mall lists “Bacio di Latte - Coming Soon” at unit 803 inside the center at 889 Americana Way. The entry appears under dessert and quick-bite options, joining an already crowded field of sugar dealers on the property. The listing stops short of giving any kind of timeline or pre-opening details.
On its “Our Story” page, Bacio di Latte says the brand launched in 2011, when brothers Edoardo and Luigi Tonolli set out to learn traditional Italian gelato techniques. The company highlights in-store daily production and an emphasis on high-quality ingredients, including organic milk from family farms in Sonoma County and pistachios and hazelnuts brought in from Italy. That careful sourcing, paired with fresh-made batches, is a big part of how the chain is pitching itself as it keeps planting flags across California.
What to Expect
As reported by What Now, the menu lineup includes flavors such as Crema & Biscotti, Caff Caramellate, Buttercream Pretzel, Cioccolato Belga, Tiramisu, and Strawberry Cheesecake, along with affogati. Customers at other Southern California locations have found bright, modern shops serving made-to-order scoops and espresso-based desserts. Fans of classic Italian gelato should see plenty of traditional profiles here, with a few California-style twists sneaking into the case.
Opening Timeline And Hiring
The mall’s “coming soon” tag does not offer a firm date, but a recent Glassdoor posting for a General Manager role in the San Gabriel Valley calls out The Americana at Brand in Glendale as the specific location. That suggests the company is already staffing up behind the scenes. The listing details responsibilities, training, and a pay range, hinting that a team is being built in advance of opening day. Until an official announcement lands, the job ads and mall directory remain the strongest public signals that the project is moving forward.
Shoppers who want to monitor the rollout can keep an eye on both the Americana at Brand directory and Bacio di Latte online for updates. We will be watching those listings and will update readers once an official opening date or grand-opening celebration is posted.
