I need to update the review, as Tutto Dolce now serves savory (dinner-type) Italian food as well as…read moreall the desserts I love, since their restaurant next door has closed. So the space here is mostly taken up with pizza boxes and a long food service table, with a narrowish aisle to order your food / desserts. They have meatballs; various pizza slices and whole pizzas (unlike the new place next door, they'll serve you slices all day); lasagna and manicotti. There are other things but I'm a vegetarian so I zone out the minute I see "sausage." Vegetarian? They default to a marinara red sauce and vegetable is one of the default slices. I didn't see eggplant parmesan on the menu, but they told me if I ask for it (advance notice would be helpful) they'll make it. Entrees are served hot. The manicotti and lasagna are delicious; the manicotti is not a big pan but a take-out container with two manicotti rolls; will feed one hungry person but wouldn't be enough for two people. Service is still friendly although the space is now a little cramped. The cake and gelato, etc. are still delicious, so I stand by everything I said about dessert in my earlier review.

The last time I had Jeni's ice-cream was when I was in Houston. First thing is first, I love the sample spoons they give you. It's like actual mini silverware- I'm use to wooden sticks. The employees were patient and kind. The inside is beautiful with plenty of seating, but since it was such a gorgeous day I opted to sit outside. And of course the ice cream was delicious. I got the butter cream birthday cake and the honey vanilla. Truly tasty. I'm happy I finally caught up with the rest of the world and discovered this gem at Oakbrook!

As soon as you step into Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, you're hit--no, hugged--by the intoxicating…read morearoma of freshly made waffle cones and sugary goodness. It's like walking into a dessert dream. The air is thick with nostalgia, the kind that instantly transports you to carefree summer days and childhood joy. I ordered the waffle cone bowl with two scoops: Darkest Chocolate and Salty Caramel and let me tell you, this duo is nothing short of divine. The Darkest Chocolate is no ordinary chocolate. It's rich, bold, and almost sinful in its depth, think melted chocolate bars and midnight cocoa stirred into velvet. The texture? Silky and dense, like a frozen truffle that melts on your tongue with a whisper of bitterness that balances the sweet. Now the Salty Caramel, this was the real surprise. Buttery, golden, and complex, it hits your palate in waves: first sweet and creamy, then a punch of sea salt that makes your taste buds sit up and pay attention. The caramel is clearly slow-cooked, giving it that deep, toasty flavor with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. The waffle cone bowl was warm, crisp, and laced with cinnamon, adding just the right crunch to contrast the creaminess. The combination of hot and cold, sweet and salty, smooth and crisp was perfect. Every bite was a revelation, and I found myself closing my eyes just to savor the moment. My personal takeaway? If you're looking for more than dessert, if you want an experience this is the place. Do yourself a favor and get the waffle cone bowl. And don't be afraid to mix bold flavors. Trust me, your inner child (and your adult self) will thank you.

We got the fruity dose crepe for $16 and I also got taro milk tea with boba for $7. Best advice...DON'T come here for boba! It's probably the worst boba I've tasted in a while. The boba was a little hard and not fresh. I also tasted my daughter's horchata tea with boba and the horchata was grainy and too much cinnamon. But the crepe was delicious so definitely come here for sweet crepes. Service was good and there's plenty of seating. The whole time we were there it was pretty full of customers. My opinion is they should focus on what they're good at and remove the boba from the menu.

Everyone working there genuinely looks like they like working there. They're kind and give suggestions. They understate how large everything is, but that maybe a good thing so they could up sell. The negative experience for me was that I was aching for a sprinkle dipped cone. I got a large ice cream and dipped. It turns out it's hard to dip a cone that is beyond large (I was told it was going to be smaller which is why I ordered the L, but that's ok). The dude that took care of my cone tried real hard to cater to my needs, which made this a better experience, but if you grew up with a dipped cone, then you know the lively taste of a dipped cone. The flavor of the soft serve was good too, but it didn't have the smooth consistency I was looking for. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say...it could've been smoother. I'll try this place again with a smaller cone, but everyone enjoyed their cones. You could get different varieties of dipped and sundaes. They also have hot food and I want to try that out.
