Top-rated Scarborough dessert spot proposes new licence
A top-rated Italian wine bar and gelateria in Scarborough has applied for a new licence from North Yorkshire Council.
The popular and perpetually busy Crema e Cioccolato – Bar Italiano is seeking a new pavement licence.


The well-established wine bar and coffee shop would place two tables and four chairs with barrier protection in front of the premises at 43 Newborough in Scarborough’s town centre.
The applicant, Leonardo Maria D’Alonza, said: “We have had tables and chairs outside since 2022, so we renewed the previous license.”
His business is rated as the top dessert spot in Scarborough on the customer feedback website Tripadvisor and has an overall score of five-out-of-five stars based on more than 220 reviews.
Commenting on the website, one recent customer said: “A hugely friendly establishment, with a great range of locally-made Italian ice-cream and sorbets. Huge scoops of ice cream and great value.”
