Our products are made using PREMIUM INGREDIENTS…no fillers, no artificial flavours, no artificial colour. No Compromises!
GOURMET GELATO 
Stella Luna gelato is a true artisan product. It’s handcrafted on site, from scratch, following the principles of antique Italian Gelaterias where fresh whole milk, cane sugar, sometimes egg yolks, alongside the best raw materials like pistachios from Sicily, hazelnuts from Piemonte, Bourbon-Madgascar vanilla beans, Callebaut chocolate and many others have a major role. A moderate use of cream as well as meticulously balancing sugar, allow us to offer you gelato with an intense, fresh and natural taste, a silky smooth texture and a dense structure, that’s easily digestible and low in fat (5% – 8%).
FRUIT SORBETS (SORBETTO)
When you start with excellent raw materials and don’t use any artificial flavouring, colouring or fruit pastes, you can really taste the difference. Depending on the intensity of the fruit and the season, the fruit content in our sorbets is an astounding 50% pure fruit!! Sorbets are made using pure water and don’t contain dairy products. Best of all, they are fat free!
FRAPPÉ
A frappé is made by blending freshly prepared gelato or sorbetto with milk. Pick your favourite flavours and we’ll blend up a treat for you….with ¼ of the fat you’ll find in a milkshake made with premium ice-cream.
SMOOTHIES
Stella Luna smoothies are made with 100% FRUIT - NO WATER, NO ICE, NO SUGARY SYRUPS. Each smoothie has at least 2 cups of fruit in it giving it real nutritional value. Our Piña Colada is so tasty and so thick, you’ve really gotta pucker to suck it back.
ALPINE HOT CHOCOLATE ~ STELLA LUNA STYLE
Stella Luna hot chocolate is made using antique recipes from the Italian Alps – fresh milk, excellent quality chocolate and a bit of cream. It’s rich and naturally dense.
GRANITA SICILIANA 
Originating in Southern Italy, a granita is like sorbet but slightly grainier and even more refreshing. Stella Luna makes its granita following the Sicilian tradition: few but premium, fresh ingredients and a sweet but not syrupy flavour!
EUROPEAN SPECIALTY COFFEES
There is an Italian proverb that says:
The ideal coffee should be,
As black as the night, as hot as the sun,
As pure as the moon, and as sweet as love.
Stella Luna espresso has a full bodied flavour with no bitter after-taste, and a rich cream that sits on top. We offer a full Coffee Bar selection serving up brewed java, cappuccino, latte, mocaccino, the trademark Stella Luna Hot Chocolate, alongside steamers and shivers….just ask for it and we’ll make it for you.
FRESHLY BAKED GOODS
What’s a cappuccino without a warm scone or a chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven? Watch for our fresh baking every day, including the now immortalized “Nonna Filippi Cake”!
BUTTERMILK WAFFLES 
They’re not just for breakfast. You can have your buttermilk waffle anytime you want them….after school, for lunch, as a late night snack after an evening at the Mayfair. We’ll serve them up with freshly prepared fruit coulis, apple compote, Quebec maple syrup, or warmed chocolate sauce…perhaps with a scoop of gelato on the side.
LUNCH
I confess to being a Panini Nut. My bedtime reading is all about panini recipes, panini filling, new and innovative panini. We have funky salads during warm weather and hearty soups to warm your bones when it’s chilly.
GELATO CAKES 
Gelato Cakes are where the party begins…they’re fun to make, taste delicious and look amazing. They also present beautifully as a little something to bring with you to dinner at a friend’s or to celebrate a special occasion.

Love your business, love your philosophies, love your product selection and can’t wait for our next visit to Ottawa, so we can sip on a “black as night coffee” along with a whole bunch of other “lovelies” to fill our bellies. Bravo to you young entrepreneurs!
Tammy, I can not wait for the opening! I am so excited to begin working! After reading through the website, you’ve made my love for Italian culture even greater than it already was!

Looking forward to your opening. Can’t wait to try ‘one of everything’

Having been brought up in old Ottawa South, and now living close to (Alta Vista area) it again, and going to the Drop in at our old Parish, St. Margaret Mary’s, I was happy to read your article in one of the OSCAR News. Congratulations on your opening, and with our upcoming visit to Roma, we must drop in at your shop soon, probably in the next week or two. Wishing you the Greatest Success.
SO EXCITED!!!
Wow and yumm! The free samples you shared with us last night were amazing. Can’t wait for the opening. Welcome to the ‘hood.
Thank you so much for sharing your mouth watering offerings today…… amazing, delicious flavours. A little haven of peace (or is that piece of heaven) in the midst of busy Bank.
I finally saw the “opening Sunday” sign!
Can’t wait to try the crepes and waffles…and gelato!
Hope you can get more than one flavor in a cup…most places will NOT let you do that
Just came back from Stella Luna and sampled some very tasty gelato.
The pistachio gelato actually tastes like REAL pistachio..yum!
Dulce de Leche was also very good, and there are many kinds of exotic tastes like with Lavender,Rocher ect!
Can’t wait to try the crepes and waffles-hope they are coming soon?
Congrats! Your shop is a very welcome addition to our neighborhood! It would be great if your website included nutrition info for your products. I understand that Gelato is a healthy, lower calorie alternative to North Ameriican-style ice cream.
Went to Stella Luna yesterday and was very satisfied – the open concept of the café is perfect and who doesn’t like some gelato on a hot day.
I can’t wait to try the paninis once Fall comes.
Good job and congrats!
There ARE paninis already, at lunchtime!
Both my husband and I love the gelato and the sorbetto, the biscotti and other baked goods as do many other people —the one drawback to so many people inside on a hot summer evening is the extremely high noise level. Perhaps some sound absorbing material on the ceiling and/or on the brick wall area would help?
I also like the photo display on the walls:-)
Gotta say, after being in Italy at a cafe and gelato shop in Rome, and Siena, and Venice, and well, absolutely everywhere I could find…sounds like Stella Luna’s noisy hot nights are about as close to the real deal as anyone could get. Hot, happy, chatty, smiling, tanned, gelato eating families and lovers and children… well, sign me up ’cause we sure don’t have enough of Italy in our lives and bloodstreams… we live in Kingston and are actually gathering the troops and borrowing a van for a STELLA LUNA ROAD TRIP! — honestly it will be a highlight of our summer.
WAY TO GO GUILLIANIs and STELLA LUNA.
You built it with love and spirit and energy and magic and yes, Tammy and Allessandro and you there kids and all the staff, we will come. You are an emblem of everything we have come to forget in our culture.
Thank you
3 Aussies walked in just before closing on Saturday night, tried it, loved it and will be back!! magnificent Gelato.
My husband and I came in over the weekend and loved our paninis and gelato. Everyone was so friendly. We can’t wait for the soup and salads to be added to your menus so we can start making this our weekend tradition throughout the Fall and Winter season to come! Welcome to Old Ottawa South!!!

Grandissimi! Un grande in bocca al lupo da Fabrizio, Elena, Angelica e Beatrice
Ci vediamo a Ottawa la prossima estate!!!
Recently I was in your gelateria and I had a great gelato. Your pistacchio siciliano is really great! I am italian so my expectations on gelati were very hight but I have to say that your team is doing a great job! Bravi!
We were sooo excited to have found Stella Luna in Ottawa. We live in Italy and have regular access to some of the best gelato in the world, but our new favourite is in Ottawa on Bank St. Fabulous atmosphere, service and GELATO!!! Can hardly wait to come back to see what you have invented while we have been away! Congratulations for your wonderful gelato, great place and dedication.
Donna and Eduardo
Everything was WONDERFUL at Stella Luna!!! Can’t wait to come back for more. The peppermint gelato will be a perfect treat this winter.
I am sitting here almost salivating. Caught you on Regional Contact last evening and am so thrilled to learn that right
here in Ottawa it will be possible to re-live some wonderful memories and taste adventures experienced on my trip
to Italy/Austria/Germany this past September. See you soon.
p.s. love your story – there is nothing quite like a happy ending to warm the heart.
My first time into the store today and I loved you guys ! The staffs were extremely friendly and your gelato tasted more wonderful than anything I ever tasted. The store was also so cozy to stay in (or it was just me being overwhelmingly amazed with the service). I have already determined to choose Stella for my weekly Friday-joy ! Thanks Stella for being so welcoming
You warmed my heart today with your icy gelato.
PS: I think name tags for the staffs would be very nice as I love to know people-who-serve-me by name and call them as who they are, not just “Hi there…”
Hi there, I was in last Saturday and talked about how dreamy it would be to have a salted, dark chocolate gelato … maybe with a caramel streak? Tammy says she will give it a try. I am keen!
Hi Nancy …. I made it on Sunday and it was decadent! Call me next time you think you’ll be by the shop and I’ll make it for you – 613 523 1116. Until then, Tammy
I am going to Otawwa very soon and can’t wait to go to Stella Luna’s cafe its going to be a real treat ! We are so excited 9 hours away
Tara, you won’t be disappointed. Make sure you go on a ‘starvation diet’ before you get here. It isn’t only their Gelato, just wait till you see what else they offer.
