Mantovani 1946 Artisan Gelato & Café

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.

A lovely atmosphere, quite sophisticated too. Came to try their gelato. You can get two flavours in each cup sizes, including the small size. One of the staff said the cherry is her favourite and my goodness, the cherry flavour is really nice. Very light, so refreshing, and a lovely cherry flavour.

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.

One of the best gelato I have ever had worldwide. Beautiful place, and most lovely staff!

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.

A definitely must try when visiting Ottawa. The flavours here are unique and well designed. You can taste the ingredients with every bite! Serving sizes are great, prices are more on the higher side. Another great point, was that the owner, Paolo, was working the front desk. This added to the family-owned business mantra that they share on their website. They truly do walk the walk and talk the talk!
