Nice little cafe. Good pasta and Cornetto. Pistachio cake was tasty without being overly sweet. Sandwich was good but we will probably try more pasta next time. Sitting can be a bit challenge if you go during rush hours. Portions were good for us but if you are big eater, you may need to order two dishes.

Y'all know the struggle for being lactose intolerant and loving Italian food! So when a friend told me this places makes a handmade meat ravioli without dairy, you know I had to try it! The raviolis were soft, delicate, and pillowy with a delicious spinach and meat filling. The tomato basil sauce wasn't too acidic nor did it take away from the ravioli. I splurged and had their NON DAIRY dark chocolate and strawberry gelato on my way out. The flavors were amazing but the gelato definitely didn't have the gelato texture. It seemed over-churned. I also ordered their heart shape cookies with various fillings for a friend but was able to taste them. Delicious! They have a a few products from Italy that I purchased as hostess gifts for friends (Prosecco and jam). I would definitely return!

This review is just for the gelato. Gelato/ice cream always has a way of making me happy. Although we got into a stupid rear-end situation on the road after getting gelato, looking back at the pic I took at Dolce makes me feel a tiny spark of joy. Thankfully, they offered samples, and the service was pretty friendly. I do think a lot of their flavors are too sweet for me. We ended up getting the coffee and the orange. The coffee was one of the least sweet options, and it had a subtle but delicious espresso taste. The Orange was unique in that I've never tried an Orange-flavored gelato; it reminded me of frozen orange juice that was more sweet than tangy. For $5, they gave a pretty generous amount for two flavors.Other than that, they have tons of food (pasta, sandwich, and soup) options that look appetizing. Note that this place is located in a tiny shopping mall. Lastly, they have a few tables and seats out front.

Stumbled upon this cute little Italian cafe while walking down Willow Glen. They offer a variety of different items, including espresso drinks, gelato, hot pastas, and little cookies. If I hadn't just ordered a coffee down the street, I would've got something here. Instead, I opted for a few of their strawberry filled and Nutella cookies to pair with my drink and try out the quality. 4 cookies totaled to $7, which was such a steal. They were nice and fresh, plus they looked so cute in little heart shapes. They paired perfectly with my coffee and I couldn't be happier. Service was great too and super pleasant to talk to. I will definitely be back again soon to try out more items.

This place is a hidden gem inside the garden theatre. So many great things. I have tried their cannoli, sfogetella, and their croissants. Everything was fresh and sever warmed up unless you ask him to not bake them ahead. Their cookies are not sweet which I prefer. Their chickpea soup is delicious for a quick lunch. You definitely need to stop by and check out their many items. My next try is there gelato.

Made a big mistake coming here to try it. The lady who came out to take our order was rude as well as what I believe to be the owner (tall Italian guy). They were extremely passive aggressive and would switch from English to Italian to gossip about us (I understood). I am glad I ended up not getting anything from them. I was super uncomfortable by the way I was being spoken to and left immediately. I will not be returning and do NOT come here. (I should've known based on how they respond to their clients reviews on reviews here)
