La Dolce Vita Gelato & Pastry

What a joy to visit, my little slice of heaven. Family owned and operated. Friendly, clean and in a great location. The Tiramisu is my absolute favorite. My boys love the cheesecake. U cannot help but feel happy when u leave. Great place.

Excellent service, good prices and wonderful family atmosphere. A very friendly and welcoming place. The napoleon was awesome and the Gelato is superb. Can't tell you wich one is my favorite, as they keep on bringing new favors. Today I tasted guava and wow,wow,wow spectacular. Might be a small place, but huge in flavor. Highly recommend!

Wow! We really enjoyed the gelato! Deb had the orange gelato and I had the Carmel cookie gelato. We also bought a couple of slices of the lemoncello cake. It was great too, will definitely go back next time in town.

This place is fantastic!! It is a small, family owned shop. They have several flavors of gelato along with pastry desserts. They also have some coffee products. It is in the jasmine square plaza. I would definitely visit again if I was in the area, whether we ate there or took it to go. I did bring a cannoli home to my wife and she was not disappointed.

Stopped by for a coffee and was very pleasantly surprised by the beautiful pastries and gelato. Great espresso and lattes, and I highly recommend the basque cheesecake - so good! Friendly owners. Hope we can visit again soon

Hubby & I just found this gem! Small but clean, quaint and welcoming. They make the best homemade gelato. We had the amaretto and it was to die for. They have many flavors to choose from. They also have homemade sfogliatella (lobster tail) cookies that are exceptional as well as homemade cheesecake slices and tiramisu. Comfortable seating to enjoy your gelato or pastry & coffees. What are you waiting for? Go try some gelato and pastry today you will be so happy you did. Will definitely be one of our regular spots.

I've been living in Ocala for 2 years and I just found this place..the pastries are out of this world and the Gelato is amazing this is a real Italian bakery whenever you're in Ocala this is a must try you won't be upset..the napoleon,cannoli and vesuvius cheesecake are amazing I will definitely be going back

This place certainly lives up to its high reviews! Fresh gelato made in house. Had some pretty terrific flavors. I settled on ginger snap and my wife got 1/2 extra dark black chocolate and 1/2 mango, both of us were happy with our choices. Staff was super friendly and more than willing to give samples and recommendations. Will be back!

Charming little place to come and get some dessert. I always feel guilty about getting samples of ice cream or gelato but am very glad I tried some first. My first choice was way too sweet for me. And what I thought sounded good just didn't taste how I thought it would. 😅
Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad, my taste buds are just finicky. Pistachio hit the spot 🎯 The ice cream server behind the counter was very kind.

Artistry is what the owners produces here. I love the creativity of flavors that he offers. If you’re unsure what to get, choose Caramel Cookie.
