About Vecchia Gelato & Café

Vecchia Gelato & Café is a love letter from Brianna and Chef Benard Tamburello to the community they call home. After building Vecchia Pizzeria into a Birmingham favorite, they dreamed of creating a place that captured the sweeter, slower side of Italian life. It’s where Brianna’s eye for hospitality meets Benard’s passion for craft, turning every visit into a warm, flavorful welcome.
