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 amazing, especially in comparison to diner-esque ice cream parlors more common on this side of the pond. Then, I found Dolce Vita. Their selection of liquers is mind-boggling (ask for a limoncello and find yourself choosing from 8 or so varieties!) and the ice creams and sorbets are the best in town, bar none (the chocolate in particular is shockingly good.) The tiramisu (a favorite dessert of mine) is made perfectly -- the coffee not too bitter, the cream not overwhelming sugary-sweet, just right. Plus, the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, the restaurant is beautiful, and the atmosphere is always pleasant.
Pros: Friendly Service, Amazing Food, Diverse Selection
Cons: Often Crowded
