After a long hot day walking around Madeira my wife and I visited this bright very clean Gelataria about 150 metres from the far more expensive touristic area. Seating was very comfortable and not at all crowded. I tried their home made Italian ice cream...More

I was excited to try Ottavia after reading the good reviews. I've been here for coffee and for ice-cream, and while the coffee is good, the ice-cream is just OK (I've had better in several other shops in Funchal that also make their own ice-cream,...More

You have to visit this place for ice cream the guy makes it down stairs in the shop. It’s the best ice cream I have ever had.

We have had ice cream here twice so far, flavours: Sour cherry Vanilla Dolce de lecce Madeiran fruit All really good.

I visited this place with my husband and we were both happy with ice cream and service. We had 3 scoops of ice cream each, espresso and Portugese coffee. Ice cream was tasty and there are many flavour to choose from, the coffee was good...More

We entered for a smart coffee and we had discovered the best ice cream of Madeira and surroundings! Chocolate Ice cream is superb!!!!!!! Thanks to Sonia and her husband for this disclosure!

Just try and you will understand the taste of a real gelato italiano. Best gelato in Funchal (we tried different but this was best of the best). The owners are from Italy, they know how to make gelato :) They make it really by hand...More

I adore this place, proper Italian ice cream, lovingly made with real ingredients and it shows. Creamy, not artificial or overly sweet- absolute perfection. The staff are lovely too.

Great tastes of the italian homemade ice cream perfect with the crepes with fruit. Nice place where to stop for a break in the heart of the old town of Funchal. Nice informal and friendly staff. Great also the português cappuccino

Ottavia is a bright, airy, clean shop, tucked away on the corner of the back streets between the cathedral and the town hall. It’s worth seeking out for smooth, properly chilled, generous portions of creamy gelato. Our favourite this year by far.
