We are often asked why we named our store Nudo? In Italian the word Nudo means nude. For us, gelato envisions what the purest form of an Italian dessert is. Our gelato is made with real fruit and the highest quality ingredients. We believe in utilizing the resources in our community, this is why we use local farm fresh products and many organic ingredients. Co-owner and Chef, Andrew Tedeschi is a culinary graduate from Newbury College, whose dream has been to bring an authentic Italian style café to the neighborhood. We hope to provide all our guests with an exceptional Nu experience!

The Naked Truth

The Naked Truth by Wendy Schapiro
The name of Nudo Gelateria, the new café in Nonantum, might seem rather provocative. But owner/chef Andrew Tedeschi has a definite (and very wholesome) reason for giving this name to his two-week-old business.Sure, nudo means nude, he says with a twinkle in his eyes. But its talking about the ingredients in my gelato, in everything I serve. Its the best, most basic ingredients, in their purest form.Tedeschi got interested in good food at an early age. Growing up in Wellesley as one of five brothers, he lived just across the street from his grandparents. He recalls that his grandmother was a fantastic cook, but he was the only one of the boys in his family who had an adventurous palate so he often reaped the benefits of his nonnas kitchen.After graduating from Newbury Colleges Culinary Program in 2006, Tedeschi went to work at Vela Restaurant in Wellesley (which closed in 2009). Under the tutelage of Chef Frank Santonastaso, Tedeschi formed his guiding do it yourself and do it right philosophy and learned the ins-and-outs of running a restaurant.He also learned that he had a strong preference for doing things his way.So after spending a couple of years in other peoples venues, including Bakers Bests commissary, fate stepped in to give Tedeschi a little shove towards making his dream of owning his own place come true.Its funny, my familys always been in this neighborhood, Tedeschi explains. And its lacked an Italian-style café. My brother was visiting and saw that the corner store on Cook was available and said, Thatd be a good place for a gelateria. I put the numbers together, and it seemed like a good idea.Between April of this year and opening day on June 4, Tedeschi gutted the entire location and rebuilt it to be the bright, modern, inviting space you see now.Tedeschi sees Nudo Gelateria as bringing the North End to you, but he also proudly claims that his place does it better than they do. Having done extensive research before committing to a vendor, Tedeschi notes that Nudos gelato is made in the Italian way by Italian hands.But while he has a commitment to using authentic, Italian ingredients, Tedeschi also recognizes the importance of utilizing locally produced and grown components. The bread for Nudos paninis comes from Antoines Pastry Shop right across the street, and fruit smoothies are made seasonally depending on local availability of fresh fruit.Speaking of availability, Tedeschi is particular proud to be one of the few local purveyors of LavAzza espresso, touted on its own site as Italys Favorite Coffee. Tedeschi sees this popular beverage as a perfect accompaniment to his gelatos and pastries...Read full article at http://newton.patch.com/articles/the-naked-truth-2#photo-6712846

Scoopalicious MONDAY, JULY 11, 2011Review: Nudo, Newton, MAMy dear friend Nicole works in Newton. For the past few years we have been meeting pretty much weekly to go for a walk. Nicole is six months pregnant and keeps threatening to stop working when the baby is born. I am selfishly saddened by the fact that she won't be so close for our regular walks, and this was compounded when she took me to the new gelato place by her work. What?! We can't go for gelato weekly?!Nudo is a small shop on Watertown Street in Newton. It's a small shop that has a European feel to it as well as a charming, friendly staff with a great sense of humor. Oh, and did I mention that their gelato is really good?Nicole and I each ordered small raspberry blood orange gelato (I had still been deciding when she offered me a taste of hers and I was completely taken). It actually reminded me more of a very creamy sorbet, but who cared what it was or wasn't called? It was sweet, but incredibly refreshing -- perfect after our walk in the hot noontime sun.Nudo is definitely worth more visits. Nicole, you can leave your job to have that baby of yours, but let's make the most of the next four months and make lots of trips to Nudo!This review was taken from http://scoopalicious.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-nudo-newton-ma.html?m=1
