#42 The Artisan Behind Lisbon’s Most Loved Gelato - Costanza Ventura
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join me on The Randall Osché Podcast as I sit down with Costanza Ventura, founder of Gelateria Nannarella, La Pizza di Nana, and Il Baretto in Lisbon.
After spending years managing humanitarian projects with NGOs and the United Nations, Costanza left behind a career focused on changing the world to build something closer to home: a tiny gelato shop rooted in craftsmanship, community, and human connection.
What started as an 18-square-meter shop with lines out the door became one of Lisbon’s most beloved brands. But unlike many entrepreneurs, Costanza never wanted endless expansion. She chose to stay an artisan, protect the quality of her product, and create a business where relationships matter more than numbers.
In this conversation, we discuss the reality of entrepreneurship, the sacrifices behind ambition, the importance of staying curious, and why food made with love can create a sense of belonging.
What you’ll Learn:
- How curiosity and responsibility shaped Costanza’s path from NGOs to entrepreneurship
- Why building a successful business doesn’t always mean becoming bigger
- The importance of preserving craftsmanship in a world driven by mass production
- How community became the foundation of Gelateria Nannarella’s success
- Why true fulfillment comes from meaningful work and human connection
What if success wasn't measured by how much you grow, but by the people you impact along the way? Catch this conversation on building a business with meaning, community, and heart.
