The Stella Luna Story
Decades before the book "Eat, Pray, Love" was popular; founding member Tammy Giuliani’s heart led her to explore the sights, sounds and flavours of Italy. She had only just arrived in Rome, when this hot blooded Roman, astride a smoky grey Ducati, cruised up beside her and asked her to the movies. Three days later, Alessandro proposed over a pizza and three coins in a fountain later they were living in Rome. The rest is history. In 2010 Tammy spent the winter in Bologna apprenticing with some of the finest Gelato Masters in the world. More than three decades later, with a Master Gelato Chef training under her belt, Tammy & Alessandro created Stella Luna Gelato Café with a mission to create a space where everyone belongs; where children can enjoy a freshly handcrafted gelato with their grandparents, alongside friends who are mingling over a glass of wine. Where couples can stare dreamily into each other's eyes in the company of folks who’ve been married for decades. They dreamt of creating the village "piazza", where everyone gathers to enjoy the simple pleasures of life! Theirs is love story infused with passion - for both their family, their roots and Stella Luna.
