Description

So, let me tell you about this cozy little spot, Gelateria del Corso, right on Preston Street in Ottawa. It’s kind of a gem, but also has its quirks. I ended up chilling there one weekend, tempted by the outdoor seating, which is kind of a vibe. You know, gelato in the sun? Can’t beat that.

Now, if you’re expecting a menu that rivals a novel, don’t get your hopes too high. They’ve got a small selection—but the flavors? Oh boy, some of them really hit the spot! The pistachio gelato, as many have raved, is a must-try. Creamy and packed with flavor!

But here’s where things get a little dicey. Some reviews, like, uh, more than a few, mention that the gelato can be hit or miss. A few flavors have a bit of a weird texture—think overly icy or shockingly sugary. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea. I mean, you could grab gelato here, only to be left wondering if you should’ve just swung by the grocery store instead.

And lemme tell you, the atmosphere is nice! It’s comfy, with a little charm. Perfect if you want to study, kick back, or just enjoy some sweet treats. Plus, they accept NFC mobile payments, which is always a bonus when you’re juggling gelato and your wallet, am I right?

But fair warning—check the hours before you head over. They’re not open every day. You could be craving that pistachio masterpiece and end up staring at a closed sign.

Overall, it seems like Gelateria del Corso has the potential to be something special, but they’ve got a bit of work to do. Still, if you find yourself wandering through Little Italy, it’s worth a pit stop. Just go with an open mind—and maybe a bit of cash for those dreamy gelato moments.
