For generations, Downtown has served as the gateway to Lafayette, a place of community where life is enjoyed.

For Silvia Bertolazzi, Downtown captures a lifestyle that for her, is reminiscent of her native Italy.

As the owner of Carpe Diem! Gelato & Espresso Bar, Silvia loves that Downtown is a place where people can enjoy life by walking, biking, conducting business and get gelato among flowers, fountains and music. Silvia is proud to be part of the Downtown family and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
