About Stella Luna Gelato Café
Stella Luna Gelato Café has earned recognition as "Best Gelato in Canada and Top 3 in the Americas"—accolades that reflect founder Tammy Giuliani's dedication to authentic Italian gelato. Trained in Italy as a master gelato maker, Giuliani has been serving artisanal gelato in Ottawa since 2011, bringing genuine Italian gelato techniques to Bank Street.
This family-owned European café extends beyond gelato to offer breakfast items and lunch fare in a welcoming atmosphere. The combination of award-winning gelato and full café menu makes Stella Luna versatile—morning coffee and pastry, lunch with friends, or afternoon gelato.
Open Tuesday through Sunday with extended hours on weekends, Stella Luna has become an Old Ottawa South institution. The authentic Italian approach to gelato—lower fat content than ice cream, served at warmer temperature for enhanced flavor—distinguishes their product from typical ice cream shops.
