Article: DESSERT SPECIALIST OFFERS A SWEET, FRUITY TASTE OF ITALY HIS CREATIONS CONTAIN NO PRESERVATIVES.(VIRGINIA BEACH BEACON)

OCEANFRONT - Think small.

It's not exactly the recipe for business success, but consider a product that can be served by the scoop, pint or gallon. Small steps can lead to bigger undertakings.

That theory is working for Ivan Gherardini, who specializes in smooth, velvety Italian ice cream called gelato and sorbetto, a fruity non-diary dessert. He mixes and churns the concoctions in the back of his friend's gelato shop, Cafe Napoli at 1608 Atlantic Ave.

``I give you a taste,'' said generous Gherardini. It's a statement, not a question, coming from a man whose Italian expressions mingle with English.
