Authentic Italian Gelato

Our Story

I-Scream is a Hong Kong artisan gelato maker founded in 2003 by Italian Gelato Master Paolo Predonzan — one of the city's first authentic Italian gelato factories. This is our story.

Paolo Predonzan

Founder Story

Paolo Predonzan, an Italian gelato master, began his journey in 1985 as a sixteen-year-old apprentice in his hometown, where he fell in love with the craft.

In 1988, he honed his skills in Vienna under Arturo, mastering traditional gelato-making passed down through generations.

In 2003, driven by passion, Paolo established I-Scream Ltd in Hong Kong, one of the city's first authentic Italian gelato factories.

I-Scream opened its first store at Great Food Hall in 2005, then a flagship at IFC Mall the following year, bringing genuine Italian gelato to Hong Kong.

Today, we serve top hotels, fine dining restaurants, and Michelin-starred venues across Hong Kong.
