Very interesting flavors and they were spot on!! We tried espresso, Pompeii (charcoal and raspeberry), pistachio, dark chocolate, and rose water. Serving portions are pretty decent too but it was very pricey. Lovely interior and tons of place to sit down and enjoy the icecream. Much recommend!

Best gelato in Ottawa.
Ordered the espresso and the chocolate-hazelnut. Espresso was delicious. Strong flavour with just enough sweetness. 10/10
Chocolate-hazelnut was too sweet so I would skip next time and get hazelnut instead.
Tried pistachio as well and it had a strong nutty flavour. 10/10.

Lovely and cool inside ( thanks for that on a 34 degree day!)
Lovely decor.
There were signs saying no samples (! Too right!)
A.d no laptops etc during summer season( again.. I applaud this !)
I had the sweet Sicilian almond
Boy oh boy.the texture was gorgeous. The flavor sublime
The eating partner was torn btw a few choices.
Was sad there was no salted pistachio which is very popular in Italy ( just returned from there earlier this year)
We will be back and yes would definitely recommend.
Despite the staff being a bit ... Stiff.

Their ice-creams are pricey but well worth it. I tried their rosewater gelato mixed with pistachio and absolutely loved the combo. The rosewater could be a hit or miss depending on your taste, but its super light and a refreshing floral. My partner got hazelnut and coffee where hazelnut was the clear winner. The store is also super cute but small so get ready to eat your gelatos outside.

The best Gelato in Ottawa. The server were kind. The owner too. I got Pistachio, Cherry and their newest flavour, Pompeii. Must Try Pistachio Gelato. Instagrammable store. Hopefully they will open a store in Toronto soon. Wanna try another flavour.

Very expensive for such small portions, nevertheless it tasted excellent. The sitting room inside is large. A nice place to cozy up during hot summer days.

Pretty cafe with mediocore gelato. I tried their pistachio gelato which was decent but doesn’t come close to the one from Casa di Moni. Prices are typical.
Jacob Aga
One of the best gelatos I had. (Tried Banana-chocolate pistachio and coconut, all 5 stars) Very friendly and kind staff. Positive atmosphere. They love what they do. And we loved what they did. I will always visit there, whenever I am in Ottawa. Thank you. đź‘Ť

Wow wow wow is all I can say. Walking in to this place feels like stepping into a "quaint" (not that there's anything small about it) gelato shop in Italy. Beautiful decor aside the gelato served is the star of the show. Flavored are decadent, fresh and feels as though color has been brought to the normal bland and white gelato I've tasted previously. I'm absolutely impressed and happy that this business is bring gelato to the next level in Ottawa!

Upscale downtown cafe that perfectly suits the quaint side street that it's on. The atmosphere is nice, if a bit too quiet at times to the point that it feels a bit like being in a library. The staff were friendly, but not particularly notable. I want to like the decor, but some parts of it look a little tacky to me, though I can't put my finger on why, while other parts are more eclectic and visually appealing to me. The deserts are delicious, but the prices are just too high for some of them. Their affogato is almost three times the price of an equally good one elsewhere. Plus they have a lot of selection that changes regularly, so you'll always be able to find something you like or something new to try.

Had a vegan hazelnut and tiramisĂş gelato which was a nearly spiritual work of art and a coffee strong and nuanced enough to rival some good whiskeys. Lovely staff, a dining room opened to the summer breeze, and genderless bathrooms to top it off. Stands out even among the sheer magic of ByWard market.

Mon resto favori à Ottawa. C'est mon relais repos après une longue marche. Le personnel est très courtois et sympathique ainsi que les proprios . Le café est super et que dire des gelatos et des pâtisseries ,elles sont sublimes. Le décor est de bon goût et l'ambiance chaleureuse. Je vous le conseille si vous passez à Ottawa.

I love this place. Amazing quality of food and drink. I went to Naples this summer, and the ice cream at this Ottawa location tastes exactly like the gelato in Italy itself. Their coffee is incredible too. This is one of my favourite spots in the city.

Gorgeous decor, friendly staff and good vibe. We were there on Sunday afternoon and had to wait for long despite the fact that they were not evidently short staff. Ordered tiramisu and cappuccino.Cinnamon taste was very strong in the tiramisu and cappuccino was served in a smaller than any small cup served in Ottawa valley. Next time I will go for their gelato.

A must visit in Byward Market. They have gluten, lactose free gelato desset. One of my favorites is the vegan strawberry coconut cream in a little glass container, not sweet at all, very subtle taste.
Marina Pilavian
Went several times. Each time the portion is getting smaller you should be more generous with the ice cream scoops ... Regarding the price of a kilo went suddenly double from one visit to another.
The decors is good but not convenient to visit again.

We had a wonderful baby shower at Mantovani 1946. The food was totally perfect- quiche, charcuterie board, and the cookies were so tasty. The star was the fabulous gelato mousse cake decorated beautifully. Such attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend !!!
Omar Karim
The best ice cream I ever had in my life. I had the Melon Ice cream and it was amazing.
Jo-Anne Marie Vanier
The place is lovely and the gelato is tasty and simply the best.
Thank you for choosing Ottawa.
Daniel Chrétien
Excellent Gelato. Pistachio est le meilleur.
Mitch Garvis
It was good... but in my eyes it wasn’t as good as other people seem to think. Too expensive for what we got.
Zeljka Antic
Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great espresso and the Opera cake!
Kate Morrison
The gelato was to die for! So happy we stumbled across this place. Can't wait to go back!

Been here a couple of times, usually for their Gelato. They’ve got so many different options for gelat; sugar free, vegan, fat free and their flavours change and vary depending on the season. Everything’s made from Italy. Their lavender gelato is one of my favourites. Their Italian desserts are also seasonal. I tried their pistachio chocolate mousse cake. It was delicious. Their tiramisu is apparently a popular dessert and is always available!

My favorite gelato place in the city, the flavors are so rich. The interior of the shop is stunning with white decor, it is the perfect spot to go for a gelato date. Also the coffee and pastries are equally wonderful.
Janet Perry
Bella, Bella! This is the place to go for a light menu lunch and homemade desserts from Tiramisu to biscotti!👌❤<br/>Desserts, homemade gelato comparable to Stella Luna, I would say even better. Specialty coffees, teas. Atmosphere is a breath of fresh air for Ottawa, Italian background music, fireplace, bankets, it just feels so relaxed and so European. Definitely will go back.<br/>FREESIA RED

Best tasting and best selection of gelato! It is a taste of Italy right in the Market. It's a chain restaurant from Italy and aside from London, UK, Ottawa is the only other location outside Italy! Have visited twice and was delighted each time by the food and the level of service. My favourite combo right now is Hazelnut and Capuccino. Will definitely need to try their tiramisu and drinks next time. It's also a great place for chatting and people watching.

A little slice of Europe in the Market. I enjoyed a great Americano. The desserts look decadent and we will try something next time. A wonderful place to meet up with an old friend and not feel like you are in Ottawa.
Nael Hajjar
Just wow! This place is off the chain awesome. Some of the best gelato I've ever had anywhere. I will be going back repeatedly this summer to try all the flavours. My doctor will not be happy with me. The espresso is on point and the pastries are fantastic. This place is a winner.
