Meet Rudi – Our Gelato Master
​Ciao! I’m Rudi, and while I didn’t grow up in a gelato-making family, my passion for gelato runs deep.
I trained in Italy to master the art of traditional gelato and bring that craft to every scoop we serve.
I’m originally from Pertegada, a small town near Lignano Beach on the Adriatic Sea, in the northeast of Italy—where good food and summer treats are a way of life.
 ​

The Italian Adriatic coast is a popular holiday spot for locals and tourists from all over Europe—especially in spring and summer—where fresh, artisan gelato is part of daily life.
Before moving to Australia, I worked at Brunzin Gelateria, a beloved shop owned by a close friend, where I gained hands-on experience and deepened my passion for crafting authentic Italian gelato.

I opened Matilda The Art Of Gelato 7 years ago, in a little gem suburb called Wynnum, in the bayside of Brisbane, with the help of my partner and our two beautiful little daughters.

I want to bring a scoop of joy!

​My gelato is made with love and passion, using the best ingredients and little sugar to enrich the flavour. When you taste my gelato you have a real Italian experience!
