The position of this restaurant is sooo good for selling gelato! I cannot just pass by their colorful ice cream! The cakes here are also amazing! Each of them looks delicious. Bought twice for birthday. The brunch menu also has various options to choose from, vegetarian friendly as well. Kinda italian, I saw many people ordered their pizza!

Perfect location for this venue on the corner, perfect for summer when the doors are open to serve Gelato. As soon as we walked in all we saw were cakes, chessecakes, cannoli, slices so many to choose from but for this time we just had these three which were delicious. I would recommend if you around civic and wanting dessert to check out this place!Featured below are the Vanilla Slice, tiramisu cake and a chocolate vanilla cream filled cannoli.

Always my go to place to get my share of sweet fix. The ambience is warm and inviting and one would have a difficult decision to make while choosing for an array of cakes and pastries on display. For someone looking for more savoury delicacies their wood fire pizzas are a big hit.

Actual rating 3.5/5<br/ <br/ We went here for dinner one night and boy was it packed, both indoors and outdoors. Luckily we got one of the last few empty spots. Via dolce from first glances would appear to be a gelato and cakes store with a decent display of the above. However, on their food menu they also serve pastas and pizzas. We ordered the lasagne, hawaiian pizza and vis dolce special pizza. The pizzas were nice, but not amazing, and the lasagne was a lot smaller than expected. Food took a long time to cook and service could be better. <br/

We got two take away pizzas from here the verde with spinach and another with salami which were very good. The base was fresh and crunchy and the ingredients were good quality and not packed on (a good thing).
