    Pistachio and matcha
    Cam H.

    I visited Italy a few months ago and have been on the hunt for gelato that comes close to what I had there--and this place is probably the closest I've found so far. The pistachio flavor was incredibly creamy, decadent, and nutty, with just the right touch of sweetness. The matcha was on the milder side and lacked a strong matcha flavor, but overall, this is probably my favorite spot in town for pistachio gelato. I'm definitely coming back to try more flavors. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a cute and cozy interior. It's a great casual spot to hang out with friends after dinner. The service was excellent--staff were friendly and eager to help.

    I think dolce neve has decent gelato, albiet its not my favorite in Austin. I'm also a major waffle cone girly, and dolce neve's cone is straight up not good- it tastes stale and flavorless/not buttery. On my most recent visit, I got the buttermilk strawberry and chocolate hazelnut flavors. I think the flavors are good, but the texture isn't as creamy and full bodied as other high quality gelato places. I also sampled the pistachio, which is normally my go-to here. I think dolce neve used to be better when I was still in college, but this spot is still a staple and nostalgic gelato place to go to when in Austin. The service is pretty good- they tend to each person and let you try as many samples as you want. Interior is small and parking lot is small, but isn't this the case everywhere in Austin LOL

    This is the cutest little shop! It feels like a tiny little home. I love the vibe - cute & quaint. The gelato is solid. Decent portion sizes too! They have different flavors at different times. For example, as we were leaving, they put out a pineapple sorbet. I would definitely go back to continue trying new flavors! The shop also serves coffee. It's a cool place to do work or study. They have wifi, but I would come with a charged device as I don't recall there being too many outlets.

    Pint of 3 flavors of Chocolate 100%, Stracciatella, and Coffee!

    My husband and I came to Austin for work and decided to spend the day here and was craving something sweet. We stopped at the right place, we got the pint that came with 3 flavors. We didn't even leave the parking lot before we dug into it. Definitely recommend it, we sampled a few others and another flavor I enjoyed was Jasmine Tea! Nice taken care of establishment. We will be back to try some more.

    I have been here twice and will be back for more. High quality ice cream. The place is really cute and has its own parking on the back. The ice cream is super tasty. It's creamy and not overly sweetened.

    We walked over for dessert after having dinner nearby! The lady working was so sweet with conversation and suggestions. They offer a lot of unique flavors. It is on the more expensive size given portion but it is tasty and fresh! They have a few tables to sit at or you can take to go. I recommend checking it out!

    One of my favorite flavors in general is pistachio and this is the place to get REAL pistachio gelato, not the artificially flavored, green kind (: Paired the pistachio with vanilla and 70% chocolate. Would recommend trying this spot! Added bonus: they also have pistachio butter for sale!!

    I love gelato and had to finally come try this place and it did not disappoint. We sampled the almond custard, orange peel chocolate and peaches and cream and all were delicious. Ended up going with the chocolate orange peel which had proper orange peel pieces in it YUM and almond custard which was nice and smooth and lightly flavored almond. $6 for a small which is kinda steep but I'll definitely be back to try some of their other flavors.

    My family and I visited Dolce Neve. We drove around to the side and back of the building for parking. When we walked in we were kindly greeted by two young women working behind the counter. They both answered our questions regarding the flavors and explained a little bit about what will be coming soon. When we asked about the flavors they told us that we could try some on taster spoons. I chose to get a small cup which you can get two flavors in. I decided to try the Crema Dolce Neve which is a custard with lemon zest in it. I also tried the vanilla. Both the custard and gelato were good. The custard with lemon zest was flavorful and not overly citrusy. The custard and the gelato were smooth and creamy. The inside was well lit and there was seating available both inside and outside. It was a cool place to try a cold treat with good service and good gelato.

    Stopped by Dolce Neve on a warm January afternoon after lunch. The parking lot was completely full, there is only room for about 4 cars, and there was a bit of a line inside as well. There was only one person working in the front, so it took about 15 minutes. I noticed there was variety of flavors, some pretty unique too. Overall, I did really enjoy the gelato/sorbet here, the hojicha tasted like sweetened green tea, but not too sweet and not bitter either. The grapefruit sorbet was really refreshing with the perfect amount of grapefruit bitterness that it tasted authentic and still enjoyable.

    Great little spot to grab an after dinner dessert. Parking is in the back. The lady that helped us was really sweet. We tried lots of flavors before landing on cappuccinos + stracciatella/vanilla from Madagascar. The gelato was creamy and delicious.

    Clockwise from the top: organic mint gelato, goat cheese and pecan gelato, and yellow watermelon sorbet.

    Amaaazing freshly sourced gelatos and sorbets with daily rotating flavors. I spotted this place while taking obligatory touristy photos with the "Greetings from Austin" mural nearby, and stopped by on a whim thanks to the ridonkulous heat. They had freakin' yellow watermelon sorbet (!!!) so I already knew I was in for a treat, but as I kept sampling, it got harder and harder to choose. But I got the medium size and was able to pick three different flavors, so I also went with organic mint and goat cheese and pecan. Each flavor was so tasty and struck the perfect balance between sweetness and highlighting the fresh ingredients. The yellow watermelon sorbet was so refreshing and light, and the goat cheese and pecan gelato was right up my wheelhouse: creamy and a bit savory/tangy. I wish NYC had a location! Our frozen-desserts competition is stiff, but Dolce Neve honestly became one of my favorite dessert spots from this visit alone.

    I know its gelato and not technically ice cream but.. Dolce Neve is my favorite ice cream. I have a near obsession with the Mascarpone and Matcha flavor. Its pretty much the best thing you could ever hope to have. Its so creamy coats your tongue and just has the best mouth feel ever. All of the cheese flavors are amazing: Mascarpone and Figs Ricotta, Honey and Pistachio Goat Cheese and Pecan Goat Cheese and Blueberry Jam Fromage Blanc and Apricot Jam If they have any of those flavors when you go in that's what you want. Keep up the amazing work Dolce Neve. I love you.

    Meh. Not as impressive as I expected to be. Pricey but worth the experience if searching for the perfect gelato

    Came to Simona's with some coworkers for happy hour and was not disappointed! This place is behind…read morethe Colton hotel off Congress ave. There is a parking lot that you can get validation for 2 hrs free, but after that you will be charged. Overall though, it's totally worth a visit! The bartenders are really friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the inside of the place is really cute -- think kinda pink vintage? There are some tables, and big comfy couches around a coffee table in the middle of the bar which is where we sat. I had one of their happy hour cocktails that was similar to a creamy espresso martini, and they are 50% off on happy hour days/times! My friend got one of their floral cocktails which wasn't discounted but I LOVED it personally. I also got a strawberry matcha drink (non alcoholic) that was a little too sweet in my opinion; I finished it but wouldn't get it again. Overall though the cocktails and vibe in there are worth a visit alone! When it's not too hot, the area outside has little mini-chandeliers and is also very vibey.

    Located inside the Colton House Hotel, Simona's is the hotel's local resident serving coffee by…read moreday, and cocktails by night. I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.
