Meet the Owners

Lamonte Gelato is the brainchild of husband and wife duo Alex and Ashley Lamonte. Inspired by their travels to Italy, they wanted to bring fresh, hand-made gelato to Pensacola. All gelato is produced on site with natural coloring and ingredients. The Lamontes are driven by the idea of creating an exceptional product that is both healthier and fresher than the alternative. They believe in chef-crafted recipes that taste good and make their guests feel good.

Alex Lamonte is a Michelin trained chef who has worked at some of the finest restaurants in the U.S., and Europe. In his travels he was able to learn recipes and techniques that he has incorporated into both Lamonte Gelato & A Mano Panino (their sister business). He saw how much fine ingredients matter and how much a good gelato shop enhances the community. This love for the culinary scene and enhancing community is what drew them to creating Lamonte Gelato.

Ashley Lamonte is a Graphic Designer & Certified Sommelier that has been in the service industry since she was legally allowed to work. She has worked in every type of restaurant from fast casual to fine dining and learned much of business management along the way. She has a passion for creating beautiful spaces that serve unique and exceptional products, while focusing on Front-of-house guest experience.

Together, as a team, they hope to curate an experience that is special to Pensacola. Their goal is to transport you to Italy through the authentic quality of the gelato and coffee. Alex and Ashley wish to create a product for generations of Lamontes to come.
