Elevating Taste in Paramaribo: Unleashing the Best of Italian Cuisine and Gelato Delights.
Embark on a culinary journey with us, where the heart of our restaurant is devoted to delivering the authentic taste of Italy. Immerse yourself in a memorable dining adventure, seamlessly blending tradition and flavor, while savoring exquisite Italian fare and handcrafted gelato that transports you to Italy’s vibrant streets.
Our story begins in 1933 when my great uncle, a gelato artisan, and his wife peddled their creations on bicycles in Holland, reviving their venture after wartime challenges to become one of the best-selling gelato garages in the Netherlands. Having grown up in Rome, I embraced the passion for authentic gelato-making, eventually realizing my dream of joining their shop.
Together with my Surinamese partner, we established Padre Nostro in Paramaribo, preserving the essence of original Italian cuisine and offering a true Taste of Heaven with our intense gelato flavors.
