Dolce Vita Gelato and Espress

Expert Reviews of Dolce Vita Gelato and Espress

Citysearch | Sweet, icy treats for the lactose intolerant and dairy fiends alike in a provincial, Euro-swank Hyde Park hangout.

Shelves upon shelves of liqueurs rest behind the counter, mottled red bathrooms have gilt detail, and tiny candlelit tables add continental panache. Although the flavors change daily, there are 14 or so to...

Best coffee in town. Great customer service

I love this place! Super coffee and friendly staff. The atmosphere is perfect for catching up with old friends or just relaxing after a long day.

Great location... average dessert.

This place is overrated. I don't know about the other offerings, but their ice cream was just okay. Nothing spectacular.

Booze, coffee and dessert!

I love this place! They have great booze, good coffee, and fantastic dessert! I always bring people from out of town, as I've never been disappointed.

Yum!

Gelato and white wine outside as the sun is setting - who could ask for more? : ) Great place to stop for dessert after dinner at Mother's across the street.

Melting?

I want to like this place, I really do. It's right around the corner from my house and it's a nice place to sit. But what's the deal with the gelato freezers? Are they not cold enough? The gelato is always...

not "gelato"

This is a nice place with a good atmosphere, but what they serve is much closer to ice cream than real gelato. It's not creamy enough and it's too icy, but hey - if nobody's noticed so far then I guess it's...

friendly, tasty, and very Hyde Park

I love spending an evening at Dolce Vita -- if I'm alone, I can read, people-watch, and perhaps run into Hyde Park locals. It's a great place to meet friends. With small food offerings, excellent desserts,...

Shockingly Genuine, Shockingly Good

Last year I visited Italy for the first time, and among the highlights of the visit were the gelaterias, the ubiquitous coffeeshop-c u m-dessert parlors. The quality and the ambience at all of them was...

Best Coffeeshop in Austin!!!

Best coffeeshop in Austin, bar none! With a good barista, the espresso is fantastic! The ice cream is also the best in town -- much more enjoyable than Amy's, to my taste. However, with a bad barista or melted...

The Very Best of Austin

Dolce Vita is the freshest and best of Austin's frozen desserts. Amy's has great ice cream, but the gelatos, sorbettos, and tarts at Dolce Vita are in an entirely different class. Many an evening has been...

Give a Try

I had passion fruit flavor Italian ice. It was great though a little pricey ($2.71 tax included for a small bowl).
