NEW YORK, NY (October 16, 2025) — Venchi, the renowned Italian chocolate and gelato maker — which many people know from trips to Italy — has opened a new Chocogelateria at Westfield Century City. It is located on level one next to Tumi and across from Jo Malone London.

Immersed in the natural and cultural richness of Italy, Venchi has always cultivated the excellence of raw materials, starting from the fruits of the earth. This dedication enables the creation of intense pleasures through simple, ‘clean’ recipes, free from shortcuts, interpreted with great creativity in the combinations of ingredients and textures.

All Venchi products feature premium, high-quality ingredients like Piedmont Hazelnut, Green Pistachio from Bronte, Almonds from Sicily, and certified cocoa with no coloring agents, preservatives, or palm oils. Venchi chocolates contain noble fats such as olive oil and cocoa butter, are gluten-free, and some are vegan friendly.

Westfield Century City shoppers can now dive into the world of Venchi like a true connoisseur and celebrate chocolate in every form. A visit to Venchi’s Chocogelateria will enable them to embark on a unique and unforgettable journey into the art and passion of Italian chocolate and gelato excellence. This isn’t just a place to indulge, it’s a gathering spot where people come together to share moments of positive indulgence. Wherever one enters a Venchi store, they can immediately feel like they are in Italy. From the large displays of chocolate bars and Chocoviar wall, to Venchi’s beautiful gift boxes, as well as the mouthwatering gelato bar, each store, meticulously designed by Italian architects in Tuscany, is a unique location to be discovered.

According to Mark Ellis, Chief Commercial Officer, Venchi, “We are excited to introduce Venchi’s chocolate and gelato to the local community in Los Angeles. Our partnership with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield has proven to be very successful since we first opened in California at Westfield Valley Fair and then at Westfield UTC San Diego. And we know our fans who have tasted our our premium-quality Italian chocolate and authentic gelato will be happy to have us close by in Century City.”

Venchi chocolates — all crafted in Italy — include the popular Chocoviar, Gianduiotti, Cremini, and many other products which are all on display in the stunning boutique. Customers can make a Venchi Mix to create their own chocolate assortment from more than 50 different varieties. Venchi also has a selection of attractive boxed chocolates which are the perfect present for every gift-giving occasion.

For those who may have taken a trip to Italy and first experienced Venchi gelato abroad, the new Chocogelateria offers a creative and unique gourmet gelato tasting experience. The gelato — which is made fresh by hand in the shop, uses the finest genuine and natural ingredients, and is crafted following traditional Italian recipes. Gelato — there are 20 flavors available daily — can be enjoyed in a cup or gourmet cone which features a rim of Venchi’s hazelnut and chocolate spread dipped in your choice of grains. The gelato can also be blended into a signature Gelatoshake.

Other products available at the Chocogelateria include hot chocolate as well as crepes made with Venchi’s rich and wonderful Piedmont hazelnut and chocolate spread dispensed from a chocolate fountain.

This is Venchi’s fourth store in California with retail boutiques also in San Diego, San Jose, and Glendale.
