Mantovani 1946 - Ottawa, Ontario

This place used to be my one of the favorite spots for gelato in Ottawa. Lately, I got a chance to visit from toronto with family. I come from sikh family and men wear turban. I insisted everyone to try this place. As soon as we entered the place, the ... owner and server were giving a different look as if they were unpleased with our group. I felt it was pure racist look. We got 10 medium gelatos from them costing more than 100$. Honestly, being part of food industry, you need to show hospitality to each and every customer irrespective of their color and faith. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen here. Please do not repeat this behaviour with anyone else! Read more

Ordered two medium cups and a latte. One cup was strawberry and hazelnut, the other coconut and kingdom of two sicilies. All very good, still best gelato in Ottwa, in fact their strawberry is better than the ones we tried in Genoa Italy! It's out tradition to go there every Canada Day!

Coming from Dubai, the first place to visit when I land in Ottawa is Mantovani. The taste of the Italian coffee, gelato and pastry cannot be described. It is beyond expectations. Really a cool place to enjoy your time with your beloved one. Thank You for your hospitality.

That's what happens when you don't allow sampling.. you end up with an Ananas/pineapple gelato that tastes like pear 😅 !! Watch out for the prices !! Small cup is 9,01$ (taxe included) 50g/1,76oz the cup max. Pistachio, almond and lemon are nice. Perhaps the best gelato in Ottawa ! you do what you ... want with this info.. Read more

Gelato was absolutely delicious, nice thick and creamy. They also have sorbet options that are lighter and fruitier if you like. A little on the pricey end but if you’re looking for a quick desert, perfect place to go.
