Stella Gelato

The People Behind Campana and Spella Caffè Are Opening a Portland Gelateria | Eater Portland

"When Andrea Spella first discovered Stella Gelato at a Market of Choice in 2006, the grapefruit‑Campari sorbetto won him over, and he began serving Stella gelato affogatos at his original espresso cart in flavors like stracciatella, hazelnut, pistachio and the dairy‑free Campari‑grapefruit sorbetto. The shop later earned high praise — Karen Brooks called Stella the state's best gelato in 2009, specifically noting the affogato service at Spella — and in 2022 owner David Feinstein prepared to retire, so Spella bought the business; he and Campana chef George Kaden are now producing Stella gelato out of a Northeast Alberta facility that will begin serving scoops out of a takeout window later this spring." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
