El Vesuvio, Ice cream parlor in San Nicolás, Argentina
El Vesuvio is an ice cream parlor in San Nicolás housed in a historic storefront near the Obelisk. The shop makes artisanal ice creams using carefully chosen ingredients.
The shop opened in 1902 and introduced Argentina's first manual ice cream machine. This device required two workers to operate its copper cylinder.
The shop earned recognition as cultural heritage of Buenos Aires in 2006, reflecting its role in shaping how people gather and socialize in the city. You can feel the weight of generations who have visited this spot over more than a century.
The shop is located at Avenida Corrientes 1181 and preserves its original oak woodwork and stained glass windows from the early 1900s. You can see these historical details throughout the interior as you visit.
The shop creates new flavors each season while keeping classic tastes like dulce de leche on the menu. This mix of fresh ideas and old favorites shows how the place has stayed relevant for over a century.
