As we walked through the Historic downtown on several occasions I had noticed this place and wanted…read moreto go inside to see what type of Italian goods they had. I have not seen many Italian markets in my travels so I needed to go in and see. Essentially, they had a Feliu with many of Italian cold cuts- sopressata, prosciutto, salami and other items. In addition they had many types of Italian dessert and cookies. I also saw a small dining area where I imagine they served piazza and other items. In an area off to the right they had an aisle with normal Italian offerings-pasta, tomato sauces and other items to prepare a good Italian meal. In their refrigerator they had pre-made Italian items-manicotti, stuffed shells, ravioli, gnocchi and other items as well. Overall, I was pleased with some of their offerings and can definitely see myself giving them a try.

It's got to be me...with all the rave reviews, I was so excited to try dessert from La Dolce Vita…read moreGelato and Pastry. I just don't understand why everyone but me is raving about this place. My friend went in to order sfogliatelle and a black and white cookie. He said the woman behind the counter was a bit impatient with him as he was looking at all the pastries and actually shook her head in frustration. I took one bite of the cookie and couldn't eat it. Both it and the sfogliatelle had a musty taste, though my friend said the inside of the shop didn't smell musty. I wanted to be one of the ones to rave about this place. Sadly, I cannot.

La Dolce Vita Gelato & Pastry is one of those rare gems that doesn't just serve dessert - it builds…read morecommunity, connection, and genuine joy with every visit. From day one, the owner has made us feel welcomed, remembered, and truly part of his world, and that level of hospitality is something you can't manufacture. It's real, and it's why this place stands out. The gelato is on another level entirely. I've traveled, tasted, and tried gelato in major cities and abroad, and nothing (absolutely nothing) compares to what's being crafted right here in our growing Ocala. The flavors rotate constantly, keeping every visit exciting and perfectly matched to whatever mood you're in. Each batch is rich, smooth, balanced, and made with a passion you can taste. We've never left with a single regret, only smiles and that satisfied "this hit the spot" feeling. And honestly, the gelato here deserves worldwide recognition. It's that exceptional. But what truly elevates La Dolce Vita is the owner himself - someone who cares deeply not just about his shop, but about the people who walk through his doors. His pride, kindness, and consistency have created a place that feels like home for so many of us. Ocala is lucky to have this treasure. Thank you to the AMAZING owner who has poured years of heart into serving this community. This is a must‑visit, a must‑return, and a place that continues to set the bar for what great gelato (and great hospitality) should be.

Good food if you can get them to actually make you any. Called an order in (because when I use…read moretheir system they don't get it). Showed up and nothing made. Waited for another 30 minutes. Nothing even started with my order. Wasted most of my time for lunch. Went somewhere else. Pretty ridiculous. Three out of four times has been like this unfortunately. Would not recommend risking any of your time on this place.

Saturday 9/14/2024…read more This spot was first brought to my attention by my cousin but I was kinda iffy on it cause his latest suggestions weren't hitting. We were in the area so I decided to give it a shot. The service was good and they were very patient with me sample multiple flavors before making a final decision. I sampled triple chocolate, chcochip wafer, strawberry cheesecake, mixed berries, and Nutella. - mixed berries was easily my favorite flavor. It wasn't overly sweet and it it like a really good smoothie but in gelato/ice cream form. - Nutella was my second favorite. - Strawberry cheesecake was decent. - Triple chocolate was alright. - Chocochop wafer was okay, it just tasted like regular vanilla. I ended up getting a large gelato cup of mixed berries & strawberry cheesecake $8.69. I got these 2 flavors due to mixed berries being my favorite flavor sampled and thinking that the best combo with mixed berries would be strawberry cheesecake (I lowkey should've went with Nutella). Overall, this spot really surprised amd impressed me with their delicious gelato. This is a spot I would come back to and recommend. Also shoutout to my cousin for finally putting me on to something I liked.

It's in what's called the Miracle Mile shopping area in Vero Beach. Very nice storefront, we were immediately greeted and welcomed once inside. A lovely display case filled with delectable looking cakes and cupcakes. Next to that was a cooler with various exotic flavors of gelato. My wife got the fudge brownie and I got the vanilla coconut. Both out of this world and like the Reese's old commercial together they tasted amazing. We also ordered a strawberry cupcake with white frosting and topped with coconut and a sliced strawberry on top. Looked and tasted wonderful. So, if you're a dessertaholic like I am and you haven't been...GO!
