Giuliana Maravalle, co-owner and creative vision behind Gelato Giuliana has been following her passions and turning them into success stories since she was 19. A 30 year entrepreneurial veteran, she's owned and operated several enterprises, until “retiring” to focus solely on Caffe Bottega, where Gelato Giuliana was born!

Inspired deeply by her native Italian heritage, she brings her love of tradition, beautiful food, simple quality, and artisan craftsmanship to the brand, giving this wonderful gelato its authenticity.

“Gelato is my passion!” she says. Making gelato came about because “I could not find quality gelato here in America, so I decided I would have to make it myself!”

At Caffe Bottega’s gelato bar, Giuliana watched as her customers tasted her gelato for the first time. The spoon entered their mouth not expecting the burst of flavor and silky texture they tasted and their eyes opened wide with delight!

With the increasing popularity , demand for her gelato, and her unstoppable desire to keep growing, Giuliana put together a team of partners who shared her vision for taste and perfection and opened a wholesale production facility in Wallingford Ct.

Her passion for quality and her rich heritage give life to a gelato that is recognized as a guarantee of refined gourmet pleasure that awakens the senses.
