New in Town: FRÍO Gelato in Evanston is “Artfully Argentine”

When co-founder Sebastián Koziura started FRÍO Gelato in Evanston, he was looking to recreate the gelato experience of his South American childhood in Argentina. Gelato is big there, both as sweet treat and social pastime. FRÍO’s gelato base is made in-house with hormone-free milk and all natural ingredients; the South American influence is obvious in flavors such as avocado, Malbec with berries, coffee and dulce de leche. Enjoy the handmade creamy gelato in a waffle cone, between two Argentine alfajores cookies, or in a cup with the Argentine version of goldbrick chocolate sauce. Any way you go, it’s delicious.

“The city of Evanston is the perfect place [to open] because of its international influences and the fact that many residents have a sophisticated palate with an open mind for new flavors,” says Koziura. “We are proud to be a part of Evanston’s growing culinary landscape.”

FRÍO Gelato is open every day from noon to 10 p.m. The production kitchen, located at 1701 Simpson St. in Evanston, is open to the public through Halloween, Monday–Friday, from 3-8 p.m. only.
