La Dolce Vita

We decided to head to this establishment for dessert following dinner at another Main Street restaurant. It had been many years since we were last in and I have to say I was disappointed in the changes they have made to the seating. I get it- a business wants to pack in as many people as possible to make money. But one thing we always treasured were the quaint and cozy conversation nooks they had. It was WHY we came here for dessert rather than having it at whatever restaurant we were at. Now it is all just tables. That said, we bellied up to the table and ordered wine, the candy bar bomb and the mudslide cheesecake. My husband doesn't even like cheesecake and he said this one was quite good. My favorite was the candy bar bomb- a creative offering of all the best aspects of candy bars. With the change in ambiance I'm not sure we will be drawn back for dessert, but would definitely come by after a dinner at the Chophouse next door.

Fantaaaastic concept - a dedicated dessert lounge!! You enter thru The Chop House and awkwardly let the host know that you're there for LDV as there's no dedicated entrance of La Dolce Vita. There's about 8 desserts and a "dessert of the day" to make it extra difficult for you to pick. So we went for two desserts and a port flight: *Toffee Blondie Sundae (Warm Coconut-Pecan-Butterscotch Blondie Topped With Vanilla Ice Cream | Oat Streusel | White Chocolate | and Rum Toffee Sauce Poured Tableside) - mmm rummy rum. I feel like if you like Rum Raisin ice cream, you'd like the flavors of this! It was pretty decadent but not in a chocolate-y way. I couldn't stop eating it! *Brown Butter Lemon Bar - this was the dessert of the day. Loved that it was topped with ample fresh berries and wasn't too sweet. The toasted merginue-y whip was a really nice touch too! They also had a tasty looking boozy coffee beverage, which looked bomb but we were too full!

Came back per usual for just desserts and was informed that the seating here is only for 21yrs old and up, due to it being a cigar bar! Seems like by now they would have a side for families or those under 21yrs old. Bummed as this was the perfect dessert pit stop. Customer service and details need to be freshened up prior to me trying again! Desserts great, though the accommodations to be able to enjoy are questionable.

This is my favorite late night dessert place in Ann Arbor! I came here with a friend after having dinner on Main Street. It was fairly slow and quiet on the Wednesday but that's exactly what I wanted. I was seated next to the Christmas Tree on a very comfy loveseat and chairs and it literally just felt like I was at home on a romantic date, I loved how relax it was! The cheesecake was my favorite, I ordered it with the raspberry and it was perfect. It wasn't too sweet and the texture was creamy and smooth. The opera cake was also amazing, not too sweet and with gelato. The service was great, our server was so attentive and was engaging. Overall this my favorite dessert spot on Main Street.

Ok, not quite sure why this place only has 4 stars. It is hands down the best dessert place in Michigan! They have so many options, and I have tried many of them. I will include a picture of one of my favorites. The last time I was there I ordered 4 of them and took a video so unfortunately I can't post those. Anyway, everything here is so good. It's located inside of Chop House and I've only been there for the dessert. Also, one of the waiters there is very sweet and helpful. This is a really nice place to go to this time of year. They have several seats just for dessert and there's a fireplace to keep you nice and cozy. I personally love Baileys and the chocolate melt cake was a dream. The taste of baileys in the cookie ice cream was great. I've also tried the chocolate decadence, malted german chocolate cake, tiramisu and I don't remember what else. They were all so good! The only down part is that sometimes if you go around 8/9 on a weekend night, they will have already sold out of some of the desserts. Either way this place is great. I can't wait to be back!

This is a great, datey place when it comes to dessert. When you come in (usually through Chop House), you have to ask for dessert only seating to get in quicker. There's also a cigar lounge downstairs!Friends and I ordered an affogato, bananas foster bread pudding, German chocolate cake and tiramisu. Out of all of them, I have to say that the most unique and best tasting one was the bananas foster bread pudding. There's a lot of hints of maple and cinnamon and the bread pudding just MELTS in your mouth. It's so good! The only reason I didn't give them a 5 was because their tiramisu and German chocolate cake was pretty ok, nothing super special.

This place is an amazing date spot post dinner! There is seating on the first floor of the restaurant as well as the basement. The basement does sometimes smell like smoke so I like getting seated on the first floor. They have a whole array of delicious dessert and my favorite is the creme brulee. So creamy and delicious. I highly recommend coming here for wine and dessert.

A little on the expensive side but the desserts are worth it all! We tried the decadent chocolate with raspberry compote. It was sinful!

I've had a solid amount of creme brulee in my life, and this is one of the best I've had. I was blown away by how good it was, and I wish I was closer to Ann Arbor so I could treat myself to La Dolce Vita's creme brulee more often. They have the perfect crack that a lot of other creme brulees lack, but also an exquisite vanilla flavor. I will dream about this creme brulee. Their bananas foster bread pudding was also pretty good, if a little decadent. I would definitely recommend trying that if you're not a fan of creme brulee. If the two desserts we tried are any indicator of the quality of the rest of their menu, I think you'll probably love whatever you get.

THE DESSERT HERE IS AT THE TOP!! When you bite in you can tell someone made whatever you're enjoying from scratch!!New York style Cheesecake was so light!The Gelati Or Sorbetti Had all kinds of textures that made you smile. It's simple, if you choose to have dessert here you will be happy and it doesn't break the bank!!10/10
