We are pleased to now offer eight different flavors of Paciugo Gelato. This will be a light and refreshing treat for movie-goers to enjoy and its arriving just in time for summer.

The gelato and sorbets are made the traditional Italian way, with the freshest fruits and wholesome ingredients. The result is a light, unbelievably smooth Italian Ice Cream with 70% less fat than traditional ice cream. We pride ourselves on the unparalleled quality of our delicious, handmade, authentic Italian gelato and are excited by the terrific opportunity to partner with Cinemark as they strive to find new ways to delight their movie-goers, said Vincent Ginatta, President of Paciugo.

Customers will have the chance to try different flavors throughout the summer in three different cup sizes or served in a freshly made waffle cone.

The addition of the Paciugo gelato is only one of the many concession offerings at the Cinemark Legacy & XD Theatre.
