I finally got to stop by here! I wanted just a little something to kick that sweet tooth! Service is exceptional and it's a small place with a few tables out front as well. I decided on the mini tiramisu tart. YAASSSS!!! Perfect size, just enough! It love to get the larger one or a cannoli next time! read more

I had been wanting to stop by Dolce and Amaro for a while now and I finally was able to stop by the other day. The space is a bit tiny so seating is a little limited, but it wasn't packed when I went in so getting a seat was not an issue. Their case is filled with a HUGE variety of treats. I was definitely pleased to see all the different types of baked goods provided by the place. There was a lot of things that caught my eye but ultimately i decided to go with a tiramisu cup and another tiramisu baked good (reminded me of a cupcake but wasnt one). I will say the flavors were definitely there for both treats. The cup was delicious and was very rich I would definitely get it again. The baked good was personally not my favorite. It was a little too hard but the top was delicious. I would definitely go back in and try out some of their other treats that are not just tiramisu. I definitely encourage everyone to go check out this little spot if you're in the mood for a little treat. read more

Growing up in New England, I was very spoiled living in RI and Mass with big Italian communities and their delicious food! Nowhere nearby have I found authentic Italian baked goods except for a former co-worker, whose Sicilian mother once made us delicious wine biscuits and pignoli cookies. That's what I was hoping to find today - along with biscotti, cannoli, etc. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I got the pistachio lobster tail and a mixed box of cookies. The lobster tail was basically a crispy croissant filled with pastry cream that had no discernible pistachio flavor. Tasty but definitely more of a French pastry. The cookies were all supposedly different flavors but I couldn't tell them apart. They were a basic shortbread dyed different colors, had gummy, flavorless fillings and tasted old. There was 1 biscotti in the box and I'm sorry to say that my not at all Italian mom has made better biscotti. Definitely very pricey considering the quality. It makes me sad that there is still nowhere to get good Italian pastries here. read more

My daughter surprised me with a sweet treat from Dolce & Amaro. I do not have a sweet tooth but wow. She brought me a decadent, light, and flaky lobster tail with Chantilly cream. It was ridiculously good. I wouldn't recommend trying to eat one of these in your car or on a date because you will make a mess. If you have a thing for sweets or even if you don't, go check them out. They are located in the Westover Gallery of Shops. read more

Best coffee in Greensboro. The desserts are also a wonderful treat! The only place in GSO that doesn't burn the milk or need any sugar to cut the bitter taste of espresso. 100% like grabbing an espresso or cappuccino in Italy. read more

Omg this is such a great location and the building is stunning. I thought the inside would be bigger but honestly it's perfect. We saw this on yelp actually and I am big on desserts so I had to come by. Walked in and immediately was greeted and asked to be helped. I looked around a bit and wanted everything I saw. I ended up with a few pastries which barely made it back to the hotel. I am definitely stopping by before heading back home and will try my best to come here on weekends. Those lobster tails and tarts were amazing. I recommend the pistachio lobster tails and the chattily cream puff. read more

This is a fabulous little Italian Bakery featuring some very high quality desserts. I ordered a Chantilly lobster tail pastry as well as a few assorted macaron flavors. Both tasted amazing. You can tell that the pastries all have exceptional craftsmanship, and that they use quality ingredients. Service was extremely friendly. The desserts are indeed slightly on the pricier side, but they are so elegantly made and tasty that I believe they're worth the price, especially the tarts and pastries. Definetely stop by if you want a fancy sweet treat! read more

After a two hour drive to Greensboro, North Carolina to attend the Triad Yelpies 2025 at Boots & Bourbons in the Westover Gallery of Shops, and since I arrived an hour early, my CM Erik recommended that I give this Italian Artisan Bakery, which was next door, a try. This highly rated bakery known for authentic Italian pastries like sfogliatelle, lobster tails, and cannoli, used high-quality ingredients like Sicilian pistachio and hazelnut creams. As soon as I walked in, these ingredients stood out in colorful, sweet, masterpiece creations. The seating space was small, but so was the space of some of the best bakeries in Rome, Italy, and best chocolateries in Brussels and Bruges, Belgium, which I've had the pleasure of visiting and trying out their sweet delights. The high ceilings and windows of this amazing gourmet bakery, gave the space a majestic look, yet its small size retained it warmth and cozy ambiance. A friendly young lady greeted me behind the counter and invited me to take my time admiring their sweet creations and to let her know when I was ready to order. I think she was able to tell from the expression on my face that this was my first time there and how I was amazingly surprised at the beauty of their highly attractive desserts. While I was choosing what to order, a young couple who had just finished eating, were at the counter ordering a few treats to go. I finally decided what to order and asked the young lady behind the counter for a Mignon (a small fruit tart) and an Iced Café Mocha. Both were delicious. As I was slowly enjoying my sweet treats, another young couple came in, made their order, and sat down to enjoy their treats as well. This reminded me of the cafés that I had visited in Paris years ago. How the young couples would save their money to give themselves the pleasure of spending some quality time together enjoying a special treat at an elegant Café. In conclusion I loved the place. It's delightful ambiance, amazing variety of very unique bakery items, and wonderful customer service, provided for an exceptional sweet treat dining experience. read more

I came into Dolce & Amaro today to pick up a cannoli for my manager's birthday, and I was not disappointed! Everything looked absolutely delicious. The place was clean, beautiful, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable. I also got a fruit tart, and it was delicious! The fruit tasted so fresh. I'll definitely be back to try more like the macarons and anything pistachio! read more

I'm not sure how I walked out with only one pastry, but I will be back for more! It was my first time in so it took me some time to take everything in and decide, but I was encouraged to take my time and wasn't pressured. The storefront is fairly small, but spacious enough to sit a few people inside, but there are a few tables outside as well. Desserts are beautifully displayed and everything looked delicious. I love that they serve large slices of cakes and tarts but also have bite sized servings if you want to try a few different things. The pistachio cream puff was a perfect little pillow of deliciousness. Small in size but packed with flavor and filled with light, cold scrumptious cream. My intention was to eat half and save the rest for later, but it was too good to put down! I already have my heart set on the pistachio filled lobster tail and the tiramisu cake for next time! read more

While in Greensboro for the Yelpie Awards, I stopped at Dolce & Amaro to grab my wife and kids a sweet treat. Dolce & Amaro is in a nice little shopping center next to Boots & Bourbon and across from Lucky 32. It's a quaint little shop that is dimly lit to create a cafe type ambiance. There are a few places to sit but if it were busy you may have to get things to go. They have several large displays with a variety of homemade pastries and desserts. The lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful in making selections. I decided on 3 different types of desserts for the family to try. 1) Cannolis - these were hand made and very good. Probably my least favorite of the 3, but only because I liked the other 2 so much. These tasted just like cannolis I had in Italy on vacation a year ago!! 2) Chantilly Eclair - a delicious pastry with a chocolate shell. The Chantilly cream is light and fluffy and absolutely delicious!!! 3) Chantilly Lobster Tail - this was by far my favorite. A little messy as it is large, but the pastry is light and crispy and it uses the same Chantilly cream mentioned above. This was the one that everyone in the family enjoyed the most!! Overall the prices are a little higher than some other bakeries at $2-3 for a small dessert and $5-$6 for a large one. But the quality is high and definitely worth it. Would make a great after dinner dessert location to celebrate a birthday or anniversary if you are looking for something different. read more

I ordered the hot pistachio latte. It was beautiful and delicious. The coffee used in it was strong, but not overpowering. And the pistachio flavor was good and not overbearing. My daughter ordered some macaroons. They were delicious and well baked. The lady that helped us was friendly interacted with my daughter and made sure we had everything we needed. Inside was neat and decorated well. read more

This is a spot that I pass through a lot of times (even had lunch a few times close) but didn't saw. It is super discreet by the outside but super cosy inside. And the balcony has sooo many beautiful options! It is difficult to choose but we made very good choices! I highly recommend The "ugly but good" (great meringue, bought 2 but I should get more), dulce de leche biscotti and pistachios cannoli. The service is also great and helpful to understand the items and options. The only sad thing is that there isn't many spaces inside to eat. So we had to take away and eat in home. But I would strongly recommend to have lunch at Osteria and then go there to dessert. It is a perfect Italian match. read more

I've always seen this bakery, but never went in. I'm glad I did. It was really good. We were greeted immediately and were able to look at the items while other customers ordered. Once it was our turn, the employee helped us make choices on what to get. Everything looked so good, and I'm glad it ended up being good as well. read more

I stopped last minute for coffee before lunch as the exterior grabbed my attention immediately. How have I missed this!? They have a white chocolate and salted caramel latte that sounded like a must try! It was amazing! Still had the lovely robust coffee flavor with a bit of sweetness. There is limited seating inside as well as outside seating. It's very quiet and cozy if you have time to sip your coffee while you're here. So glad I stopped here. I'll have to come back for desserts another time. read more

I think it's closed. When I was looking for coffee this place was suggested but I went to the area and didn't see any storefront.

Came with my family recently and immediately noticed the lack of air-conditioning. Pastries were delicious however we chose to eat at home. We were not comfortable eating in the heat. read more

The desserts are delicious and the staff is friendly and it's very clean. We highly recommend them.

I haven't had a pastry from Dolce and Amaro in a while. My wife was craving a pastry so decided to check out this delicious local Italian bakery. It did not disappoint! The nice lady behind the counter helped me choose some delicious pastries. I went with the exotic chocolate tart and a pistachio cream puff. The chocolate tart was creamy and had a few delicious mango cream dollops. The pistachio was perfect and creamy. So glad I decided to visit Dolce and Amaro! read more

I miss this place all the time since we left Greensboro. They have great customer service and the inside is so cute and cozy. They have so many dessert options and it's some of the best I've ever had. They have anything from cookies, cake, macaroons, mignons, eclairs, tarts, tiramisu, cannolis, and other pastries. So many gluten free choices as well which is hard to find. A great coffee date spot and for sure a must try if you're in gboro. read more

Great place, to eat and drink coffee. We have tried most of their delicious desserts, they are delicious.

Won't add a dash of milk to espresso and gets weirdly defensive when you ask for milk and get directed to the plastic cups of fake creamer instead. I don't understand the weird cheek clenching over cream, but here we are. Bummer, killed the ambiance and then some. Could be a decent shop if they weren't planting flags over cream. read more

When walking into the shop, you are greeted with delicious pastries. Since it was my first time, I ordered a Dolce & Amaro hot latte which was tasted incredible. As I was waiting for my drink, I browsed the pastry display and couldn't decide on what to get myself. I ended up getting a six pack of macarons for my daughters to try since those are their favorites. Would definitely come again! read more

I have driven by Dolce & Amaro many times and finally had the opportunity to stop in. It is a European style bakery, which I was unsure the difference between that and an American Bakery. I asked the nice lady behind the counter what she recommended, as it was my first visit. She said everything was good, but she really liked the pistachio taramasu and also the cookies. I wasn't sold on either of those, so I next asked what is most popular. She said the lobster claws (not real lobster just the shape) and that the filling was made fresh daily. I ended up with a cookie, a fruit tart, and a lobster claw stuffed with cream. I took these items home to enjoy and sadly, I was underwhelmed. I believe the reason is because there is not as much sugar / sweetener in European pastries as in American desserts. Probably a good thing! But for me, nothing was flavorful and that is why I am giving it 4 stars. The ambiance was cute and everything was beautiful! Just not for me. read more

This is mainly an order and go place- but I highly recommend you go and take as much as your heart's delight! The best chantilly and pistachio cream can be found here nestled in lobster tail croissants. They have full sized and mini pastries and desserts so it's great for a couple's night or a party. The fruit tart is one of my favorites. I've never gotten anything from here and regretted it. The vibe is small bakery/cafe. They have coffee drinks and refreshers and some unique flavored teas and cold drinks. There are a few small tables you can sit and enjoy your desserts and drinks but they are usually full. The counter service is always friendly and attentive- I've never felt ignored or neglected. I definitely recommend this S one of the best artisan bakeries in town- lots of gluten free treats too! read more

Their lobster tails are just like Mikes in Boston. An excellent find!! You won't be disappointed read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Dolce & Amaro before - we love it and go there all the time. We have some Gluten Free needs and although Greensboro does have some options, Dolce & Amaro is reliable and has a lot of options that are just naturally GF. Also, it's just good. They have European - namely Italian - treats that are updated regularly and are always good. I am not a coffee person but they also seem to have good offerings there as well. read more

Wow!! This place is sooo tasty! We were driving through Greensboro and decided to stop. I'm a sucker for an Italian bakery, especially if they carry lobster tails. We walked in and were immediately greeted and happily took in the entire selection. I started off ordering the hazelnut cream filled lobster tail-- tt did not disappoint and was my absolute favorite! The perfect blend of creamy and crunchy, if you've never had a lobster tail pastry, just order on and give it a try. We also got their raspberry and chocolate tart, fruit tart, and a few cookies. Everything was truly delicious. If this spot was closer to me, I'd be in all the time. I also grabbed an iced latte, which was great. Overall friendly service, a ton of delicious options, and a great place to stop for some treats! read more

Perfect in every way, service, atmosphere and everything was delicious. Well done! You feel very welcome when you walk in.

It was decent, but turns me off that they're calling things "biscotti" and "zeppole" that aren't. Makes me think they don't quite know what they're doing. Prices were decent. I got a pumpkin spice latte that was nicely done for $5 which is about what I'd expect these days, even if that is rather overpriced in general. Not bad at all if you're local and wanting a treat, but definitely skippable. Staff helping us was friendly, and the place is a small boutique that was clean with a couple of tables for eating there if you wish. Everything was very pretty but pedestrian in terms of flavor. Also need to research what a biscotti and zeppole are. read more
