Dolce Diletto

A Gelateria! Dolce Diletto Gelateria! These are not the most frequent type of frozen treat place in the Seattle area, so I got to adventure to Burien/South Seattle to try this store out. It has been a recent, past few years, trend in my life that people I know/friends go to Italy and make it look good, meanwhile, I am sitting at my computer going... maybe I should just try to find some good gelato. So I finally decided to check a place out and went with Dolce Diletto.The Gelateria owner/worker when I visited yesterday, Wednesday 23 November 2022, was warm and in good spirits. Decor was festive for the holiday season, the store warmer than the outside, and music was playing. After looking over the flavors I went with the pumpkin spice and hazelnut flavors, getting a small bowl to take back to my car to eat.While I have not been to Italy, I have had gelato before, and this by far is the best gelato I have had. It melted a little faster than American ice cream and had a smoother consistency. Spices in the pumpkin spice really shined without a loss of the pumpkin flavor, a balance I had not encountered before. The hazelnut was probably the best hazelnut-flavored product I have had (gelato or otherwise). Both were instant favorites. All around a great experience.

Dolce Diletto is the best gelato and sorbetto in King County, hands down. We drive all the way from Ballard, Seattle to have their super delicious creations. Very flavorful, soft and fluffy and dense all at the same time, and friendly service. So good!!!

Lemon Basil & Strawberry sorbet is probably the best duo. Sooo good & love this little place! Pistachio comes 3rd in terms of flavor.

This little gelato spot is 10/10! I don't know why I've never popped in here before but after having way too many samples I settled on three small containers of gelato while chatting with the owner who was serving behind the freezer. He and his wife frequent Italy and derive their flavors and recipes from in-person experience, how amazing! I'm glad I finally stopped by :)

Absolutely delicious. Also, the owner Matt was incredibly kind and inviting. I recommend the lemon gelato We will be back!!

Switched it up this time and ordered the affogato paired with peanut butter gelato. I think I might've stumbled on my new favorite combo. I'm excited (and slightly afraid) of what this could lead to. See ya tomorrow! A domani!

My partner and I recently moved to Burien and are absolutely delighted to have found Dolce Diletto! We just had a nice little date night with our favorite Tacos El Hass and topped it off with delicious gelato from Dolce Diletto. We are very happy that this was all within walking distance of our house. I got the chocolate gelato and he got the creamsicle. Both were just like I remember gelato in Italy to be. Thank you so much!!

Amazing gelato place with seasonal flavors of gelato and sorbet. Offers espresso and states that adult beverages are coming soon. Quaint and the owner is so sweet :) you can get two types in a small!

this is an insanely dangerous place to know about! i've been trying to time my burien visits to the hours of dolce diletto and today was the day!super cute interior.clean, with bright yellow chairs and a case that has inviting flavors......so many flavors it made it a bit difficult to decide. i opted for a small cup of half lemon basil and half amarena cherry. both were OUTSTANDING! i'd say the flavors tend to be more to adult palettes than young children but the quality is stellar and i bet if you come in with young kids, there'd be *something* in the case that would twist their arms please them.i started a punch card and will be carrying it with me for future times when i'm in the vicinity. it is obvious that they make their gelato with a lot of care.they apparently offer catering and i could see this would be a super fun thing to have at an event like a wedding or special birthday party. super glad i stuck with it in terms of finding a time to be in burien when they were open. a lot of times i'm here earlier in the day, but that may now change to accommodate their 3pm opening times, my wallet and waistline be damned.

Best gelato in WA state! I highly recommend. The owners are friendly and they have different flavors on different days of the week.
